Re: Is it a bad idea to have a wallet with 10s of thousands of addresses?

Are there known cases of people having problems just because of the sheer number of addresses they've generated in their bitcoind wallets?
Any info on actual limits?

the question is, is it really necessary?

Some persons don't reuse addresses though they might not delete it from the wallet, so if they somehow get any BTC into the old address they can still get it. If the wallet is too old, then it may contain too much addresses. OR if you do something related to company and all, you may have these much addresses. Anyway, that's not the point here. Roll Eyes

I didn't hard any limits, yet. I think there is no limit. But if you generate too much addresses in your wallet, it may become slow unless your GHz increases.
