Title: Old BTC address still good?
Post by: mrlavish on May 07, 2013, 06:48 pm
I have never done this before, that is use an old address, but I was wondering. Will it still accept coins?

I have an early order in with Blue Sky whom I already provided an address for, and want to do a Bitinstant today. If I create a new address for Bitinstant, will the address I gave BlueSky work when they send me coins in a few days?

I know I have been here a long time, but I have never done this and just want to make sure.

Thanks

i've done exactly that  :)
not too sure if the old addy's stay around for 24...48...72 hours or are indefinately linked to your account ..
like i said..i've done exactly what ys just described ..within a 2 hour time period..so yes..you'll get your coins  :)


Peace,

Thanks ChemCat!

I've been reading and it seems the address is good indefinitely.

Yup, the address is seemingly indefinitely linked to your account; as always though, if there are ever problems and the BTC don't arrive within 24 hours you can send SR Support a message and they'll sort it out for you. :)

Libertas and Scout,

So are you two the only two mods on SR now?

And I would imagine that you two are "SR Staff" on the main site as well?

I don't know about everyone else but I change my sr wallet address after each deposit. Its easy enough to do & doesn't seem the effect the speed at which I am able to transfer coins to it.
