Hi all, I created a decred address via Paymetheus->Request Payment. I used this address to connect to a decred mining pool that pays out every 0.05 DCR mined. My question is how long is the Paymetheus generated address valid? Can I receive payments every 0.05 DCR or do I have to create a new one after every payment? Because in Paymetheus it says: "Single use address generated for account default". If that is the case how can I create a permanent address? Best, f
Well, found the answer: https://forum.decred.org/threads/how-to-create-address-to-mine-to.5385/#post-25375
The address created is permanent "Single use address generated for account default" It's just for privacy reasons
The wallets will generally only show you an address once (or maybe until used) and never again but it is still your address. The goal is to discourage you from reusing it since that has negative implications for privacy. There are some situations where it makes sense to reuse an address (mining, a donation address, etc) but in those cases you will already be putting the address someplace where it stays so the wallet doesn't need to keep showing it. In decrediton I'd like to add the validateaddress command so that you can confirm that an address belongs to your wallet in case you aren't sure but I just haven't finished it yet.
