OK, thanks for the info. I turned off the change address in my wallet. Is there any advantage to using Change Addresses?

Thanks,
Not using the same address over and over is a huge plus for privacy.

Disabling change addresses means that bitcoin sent from address "1ABC..." will ALWAYS send change to "1ABC..." only.

So I can 100% certainly know your entire balance whenever I want.

If you send to a new address each time, I can guess. I can maybe guess with a high amount of certainty, but I will never know 100% that the second address in the transaction is yours.
