One-time Addresses #6

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

Using the same address for many mobile transactions makes it easy to associate 
transaction history, which could be harmful to individual anonymity. 
Bitcoin-wallet should support unique addresses for each incoming payment. 
Ideally, bitcoin-wallet could automatically manage making payments out of the 
existing selection of accounts & balances.

Having only one address is a current limitation of the underlying framework 
BitCoinJ.
This is being worked on. Can't say when it will arrive though.

So, because of an inadequacy with BitcoinJ, Bitcoin Wallet only allows for 
users to have one sending and receiving address? The user who posted the 
comment I linked to disagrees. Can some help settle the issue?

I'm sorry, I did not remember correctly. It was the change limited to first 
address issue that made me think multiple addresses do not make sense then.

Anyway, I just implemented management of multiple Bitcoin addresses and 
changing the default. Have a look at Testnet version 1.09 in Android Market, 
and tell me what you think.

Looks good! I don't think that users need a warning that they cannot delete 
addresses though. Just put that info in a help menu. Perhaps give users the 
option to archive unused addresses to avoid clutter.
