Re: Should websites refuse to send coins to an already used address?

I think most of us know that address reuse is a bad idea and it's better to use a unique one for every transactions to avoid security and privacy issues. If a website owner accepts bitcoin deposits and a user wants to withdraw coins to an address which was already used in the past, should there be a warning or even an error message or would that be too annoying for the user?

I'm curious about your opinions!

I don't want to be anonymous so I use the same address. Over and over and over.

Can you explain to me how this is harmful?

Don't tell me if everyone did this no one would be anonymous as that is not particularly harmful.  IMO


I want  a public repeatable addy.

I realize I can have a wallet with hundreds of addy's if I want or I can use one over and over and over if I want.

I suppose some people want to remain hidden via changing of addresses so let them change every time.  Or let them have a common address that repeats over and over and over plus a set of hidden multi addresses.
