Re: If reusing addresses is a bad idea then why...

I think the whole thing about reusing addresses is just a precautionary measure to make it safer, but I don't think it's something you need to worry about.

Why? Explain yourself.

I explained in detail above why address reuse is a bad idea and hurts Bitcoin, the idea of Bitcoin, the privacy and fungibility of Bitcoin, etc.

Do the same with your off the cuff comment.

I really don't see how it's realistically a problem at all.

Then you obviously do not know what the hell you are talking about.

Nah, it isn't that big of a problem in certain cases. If you just want to collect donations that you'd have to declare anyways, why not gather them in a single wallet. They didn't expect Bitcoin to become so big and just put up a single address... so what?
