Title: Changing BTC address
Post by: kahn on July 10, 2013, 03:14 pm
I have just changed the BTC address here (@SR) and was wondering if the old address is still viable or is it gone forever? I haven't lost any BTC, balance transferred w/out change, but I was wondering if the old address was still valid?
Also is there another address generated to retrieve the BTC should SR be shut down (banish the thought... :o

The old address has been known to work after generating a new one but I wouldn't push that.

I asked this once from support, and they said the address will be unique for you forever, you just can't see it on your account anymore. But of course it's best to always use a new address.

Yes it will still work, you can send funds to your current wallet address on your account, and after that even if they havent arrived to your account yet, you can still change the address and they will still get through.
