Bitcoin Address Question
Hi, noob question here
I sold an item on a marketplace, entered by btc address from coinbase about 2 weeks ago
Lets say that address was something like 4238434bnibvfjkbb54kjbf34jkkjbjkb24jkrb
I made a sale and my small amount of bitcoin is being sent to 4238434bnibvfjkbb54kjbf34jkkjbjkb24jkrb
BUT now I look on coinbase and my receive address is 23423b54bnbcbfj2jkbnnv2jkb2bjv
I haven't received my btc yet, its been about 12hrs, starting to get a little concerned.
How do I get a bitcoin wallet with a constant address?
Hope this makes sense
Coinbase and many other bitcoin wallet online uses rotation address to prevent tracking and promove anonimity on wallets.
If you used the address Coinbase told you, you should get the payment, even if you have a completely new address.
To prevent this from happening, you can download Electrum for example which is a BTC Wallet Software, idk if you can turn off Coinbase address rotation.
