BTC Address Change

Brave Wallet (Self Custody)
21

Hi @Evan123

Yes, that’s the screen where the address changes. The Deposit screen. I only have one Bitcoin account. The title/name on top of the QR remains the same. The address below changes after receiving the first deposit.

While rotating addresses seems to be the default choice of Brave wallet (still not confimed but quite obvious at this point), in my opinion it should:

  • Easily allow users to reuse a previous address for Deposits if they wish to do so.
  • Show all previously used addresses somewhere.
  • Show all incoming transactions related to the same Bitcoin account in the Transaction History, regardless of the address being used.

Best regards

Thank you! Confirming some of the above concerns.

Address rotation is intended for privacy reasons. So, funds are spread between addresses until they are potentially spent together.

Currently, we only show transaction history from our wallet, i.e. “Send To”, and that is for all supported assets. We have an issue on the roadmap to show history for all transactions.

Hi Evan,
Thanks for clarifying the address rotation.
It would be great if my points 1 and 2 in my previous message could also be implemented to improve usability. Would it be possible to send a feature request?

Thanks
