Hi all,

my question is regarding btc deposit addresses. Ok say if I have a wallet with exchange A (which I have btc in) and I wanted to transfer to exchange B (a different wallet I have). Lets say exchange A's "deposit address" at the time was K12190ic and exchange B's "deposit address" was B019210c. If I was to deposit to exchange B using the btc from exchange A, would the deposit address of exchange A (K12190ic) show it sent to exchange B's deposit address (B019210c). Basically I want to know if I was to check on blockchain.info or blockexplorer, if I would see the origin address as (K12190i) or if I would see a completely different wallet address that is sending to exchange B?

Almost certainly not. Exchanges (and most online wallets in general) typically maintain an internal database to track users' balances, and only make sure it all adds up (we hope). Thus, your deposit address with one online wallet service will most likely not be involved in the transaction from that service to another (external) bitcoin address.
