sorry let me rephrase that, my bitcoin address changed in my virtual wallet, but my address in deepbit stayed the same. Should i change the address on deepbit now so it might go to my wallet?

Oh

That's not the problem at all.
All your old addresses are still usable, your bitcoin client will just show a new one each time

Just figured this out as well...but thought I would clarify a little further...

The bitcoin client will randomly change the visible address in your wallet...ostensibly to encourage anonymity.

However, any new address just gets added to your personal list of addresses under SETTINGS > YOUR RECEIVING ADDRESSES.

All of them will still work.

So, you don't need to change anything at deepbit...in fact, you may want to keep your payment address the same so you will be able to distinguish "payments from deepbit" from other payments.

Whether you do this really depends on whether being able to identify an aggregated total to that one address would bother you if someone were able to link that address to YOU.

For more info. on addresses and anonymity, check out the wiki pages:

By the way Ty, thanks for all of the great content you have contributed to this thread...I have been contributing to the deepbit pool for a couple of days now and all is smooth...learned a lot in a short time here!
