Title: Change Wallet each order?
Post by: doom27 on June 16, 2013, 06:54 pm
Is it a good idea to change your wallet each time you order? If so, will the SR wallet be able to transfer curent funds directly to the new wallet or would you need to transfer somewhere else first?

Thanks for the help!

Change the address of your SR wallet before every new influx of bitcoin. This won't affect your SR balance or the SR wallet or any of your orders in any way.

Yes, absolutely. It's not going to hurt.

If you need to, keep a copy of your previous address in an encrypted container before changing it.

It won't hurt to do so.  I believe that any wallet address SR gives you is always affiliated with your account anyway, even if you change it multiple times.  I could be wrong, but I remember reading a thread that pertained to that.  Anyways, glad to hear you're getting along well with your orders!

Cheers

It seems like the SR account BTC address has to be linked to your account, else they wouldn't know who's account to credit the deposit to.

The flip question is, if you 'request new address', do deposits to the old address still work? I think I saw elsewhere the answer is yes but I forget for sure.
