Title: Creating a new deposit address before bitcoins you've deposited have arrived...
Post by: JHGfIuiyfFTR54636 on April 28, 2012, 10:27 pm
If someone was trying to put bitcoins in their SR account lowkey style by depositing small incraments to new deposit addresses

would it be possible to create a new deposit address before btc they've already sent to the prior address has arrived so that they can deposit more btc

or do they have to wait the two or three hours that it takes to recieve a deposit they've made before depositing another incrament to a newly created address?

Interesting question.  What I would do is try a test transfer.  Send a really small amount over to SR, like .01 BTC, then get a new address and send another .01

You would know by the end of the night if it was going to work and at worst you would be out a few pennies.

Any wallet address that has ever been associated with a particular Bitcoin account is always valid for that account. Bitcoin uses keypairs to validate transactions. Wallet addresses are the public keys and are generated from your hidden account key.
