I just noticed that my SR wallet address is different than it was yesterday, which I thought was strange since it's been the same ever since I joined and I never manually had it changed. Is your wallet address supposed to periodically change?

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. Each time you make a transaction, a new wallet address is generated automatically. You can use your new one or any of the previous addresses generated for a particular wallet.
