Well only solution that work for me is now creating an unique address on console using the code

for i in range (1): print (wallet.create_new_address(False))

and then make all addresses visible and edit the label for that new address and put any reference I need. That way it will create a new address and I will know what is for as the label will show. So this does work and thanks for you guys help, however there is still an issue with the app but for now this will do just fine.

I was looking at old posts related to this subject, and I found this answer from bob123

And to finally answer your question, you can generate X addresses by entering this command into the electrum console:

Code:
for i in range (X): print (wallet.create_new_address(False))

Have you tried this?

I just tried in my wallet and it works

For example:

Code:
>>> for i in range (5): print (wallet.create_new_address(False))
bc1qk5grech0kpf20z4d30sffqk7praqs2rjdqxpta
bc1q6ewatg8ej9tmzpldxn6v6uqq78wz3vznuffkwz
bc1qk0rjxjqfwwlcq2wpq7juw0eelujfejjsuwmp8f
bc1qpw2ywwszfp8qacu2urrptzvr4l5n8ksy2mkrsc
bc1qtpheu3tp0ve2pakx32pttrslnks7f5jmatd45z
>>>

Then you can simple generate all addresses you want and give them to whoever you want.
 I don't like that "request" feature and you don't need it.

Is there a code which will create the address and also crate a label?

Yes but if no one else is experience this (apparently only me) and I have already uninstall the wallet and reinstall it and the behaviour still the same, what should be causing the problem then?

My advice was to install an older version, like 4.3.1. It's probably this one, however, this is the 4.3.1 releases folder.
Maybe the change in the feature you've been using came with a bug and the expiry date may not taken correctly into account.
Did 4.3.2 fix any important bug that was affecting you? I guess not, so for now you'll be OK with 4.3.1.
It would be nice to report the issue, as already said. Plus you'll probably have to keep an eye and check whether one of the next versions fixes your problem.

When I unstiall 4.3.2 and try to revert to 4.3.1 when opning I get this error.

"Cannot load wallet(2) :
WalletFileException('This version of Electrum is too old to open this wallet.\n(highest supported storage version: 49, version of this file: 50)')

I tried to install 4.3.1 before but it could open the wallet it said version was too old. Maybe I download the wrong one. Which of all those links is the one for the windows version?

It may worth mentioning that Electrum 4.3.2 has a change in its behavior, and may be exactly your "problem". The thing is that, from the others' point of view, this is a fix.
   (fixes #7927).
With that update, electrum should regenerate an address that has been generated before in another request, if the previous request has been expired and the address has never received any fund.
Since OP has set the expiry time to never, electrum shouldn't generate the same address again. I don't think what's happening in OP's wallet is the correct behaviour.

OK... so maybe if I change to never expire to expire after 10 minutes maybe then it will generate a new address? I will give it a try.

It's just insane. If there a way to post a video I can post one for you guys to see how it behaves.  

Everything was working normal until the 11th November exactly. After that date all start to behave like this.
You can use any video hosting website, YouTube will do (set the video as "unlisted"), then paste the link to your reply.

What's happening isn't normal to a standard wallet and AFAIK, isn't a known issue.
I can only suggest to backup your wallet and seed phrase, then reinstall Electrum. (it wont delete your wallets though, but create a backup just in case)
Before installation, make sure to verify it (instructions) before proceeding to make sure that it's not corrupted or a fake version.

I uploaded a video here of the issue... let me know your thoughts on it.   https://streamable.com/zanvhn

Anyone experiencing this and is there a fix or a setting I need to change as I look into all and nothing helps.
I can't reproduce this in v4.3.2, I'm always getting a new or unused address in every request.

Now, the wallet repeats past addresses on new requests and in order to get a new unique one I need to open like 4 of 5 requests until a new address is given and also once payment is received on history it does not show the label I created for that transfer.
Was the gap between those requests more than 10 minutes and your invoice's expiration is set to 10 minutes?
If so, it will reuse the addresses of those old expired invoice as long as the address didn't received BTC yet.

For the label, if the invoice was expired or the amount wasn't fulfilled, the label wont be saved to the history since it didn't matched the invoice.

The workaround is to use the Addresses tab instead ("View->Show Addresses" to enable).
You can put a label to the unused addresses instead and it will show up in the history tab once it receive funds.
Or set expiration to "Never".

It would always give me a new address before not even unused as it would keep any unused address connected uniquely to the label created. The gap is even over a day of tow it does not matter, it will always give me a repeated address and it does this in order. For example if I have address A, B, C and D... if I create a new request, it will give me address A again... if I create a new one, then gives me B and so one until D. IN this example only on the fifth request it would finally give me a new address in this case E. And it repeats this loop every time I create a new address and as the address list mounts as you can image the loop just gets bigger until I'm served a new unique address. It's just insane. If there a way to post a video I can post one for you guys to see how it behaves.

That is the thing, I have all addresses set to "Never Expire" and I have not recovered the wallet. Also I use windows 11 and I have plenty of space.

It just started to do this by itself without me changing anything at all. I Always had for addresses to never expiry and it always produced a new unique address every time I place a new request and the label always stays on history.

Now it just does this and I even noticed a week ago while it was still providing new unique addresses that once I log out and log in again after a day or so if there was a new request that I created but which have not been paid yet, that address would not show on the request tab anymore, which is another thing it never did.... previously any request I would create, it  would always provide an unique BTC address, and would never disappear the list until it received BTC.

Now it is just nuts, sometimes those requests disappear even if not used, repeating BTC addresses on new requests, and if a request received a BTC payment shows on history without the label created. Just insane... I tried to revert to version 4.3.1 but software message told me that wallet cannot open previous wallet file due to being too old version... maybe a major update was on 4.3.2... I can still manage things it is just it became a nightmare with the addresses, and tracking and I only can think of waiting for next update.

I'm on windows 11 by the way but I think the OS is not the issue.

Electrum Address keeps repeating

Hi

On the previous electrum versions every time I created a new request to receive BTC, Electrum would always give a new unique address to the new request and also the request label I would create for my reference would show on history once funds received for that request.

Now, the wallet repeats past addresses on new requests and in order to get a new unique one I need to open like 4 of 5 requests until a new address is given and also once payment is received on history it does not show the label I created for that transfer.

I have not changed any settings so I don't know why it is behaving this way which makes it so hard to track payment sin BTC from other users as it mingles with already used addressed and the label create for the address does not show on history so it makes it hard to find who send the funds.

Anyone experiencing this and is there a fix or a setting I need to change as I look into all and nothing helps.

Thanks

Re: When and How much low on next Bear Market?
by

on 06/01/2021, 00:35:07 UTC
If the predictions of 250+k are met then I imagine us to drop to no lower than the last ath but realistically around $25-35k.

If it doesn't and we only go up to $50-100 then I would expect anywhere from $6-12k atm. I don't think it's likely we'll see $2-4k/btc unless something catastrophic happens.

I don't think we go that high 250k and I doubt we will even touch 100k on this bull run. I think 50k more likely but yes if we were to hit 250k then a drop to 7k-10k would be too much. I think we will not go further than 50k on this bull run but definitely will surpass that by large on next one.

Bitcoin is on epic rally but looking at history the bear markets mostly drives price down to around 85%. Just 2 simple questions....

1) Where do you guys predict the bull market to end?

2) What is your prediction of the lowest price bitcoin will go again on next bear market?


I can't think at this point of when the bear market will kick in, but I have a feeling that next lowest could be around 7k to 10k mark. Let me know your thoughts.

DONT be fucking stupid, when it was 20k$ i said it will dump to 3.6k$ you dont believed , Now iM TELLING YOU btc WILL go to 1$  soon, There is no logic in crypto, do you understand?
mate, Bitcoin is decentralized, meaning the community and users control everything, and you said $ 1? for me that's a stupid saying that I've heard, we are entering the era of technology, and many still believe in bitcoin, I know the price is very high now for you to buy bitcoin, and you dream of buying bitcoin at $ 1? haha LoL
It is clear that OP is trolling here and the thread is already 2 years old and people are still taking it seriously.
The price didn't even reach 3 digit low so why take it seriously when someone says that the price would be $1 soon?
We all know that it is almost impossible to happen.

I would be already happy if price drop to 7k even tually let alone $1 USD Smiley
I believe dropping to 7k would be a bad situation for us right now, that would be nearly 7 times lower than the amount we peaked at, and I wouldn't want bitcoin to go there. Not because it would mean anything bad, bitcoin could be 7k and stop there, but it could also not ever go there and I would prefer that option. Think about it this way, if we could just go down to 20k at lowest and never any lower, wouldn't that be even better? I feel like that would be even better, which is why I do not want to see it go any lower. Could you still profit?

Of course you can, if the price goes to 20k and not under, you buy there, and it goes to 40k, that means you made 100% profit, double the amount you invested, isn't that awesome? If you need more than double the amount of money you invested, you do this every year, and if you double your money every year, in 20 years you will be super wealthy, so you do not need more than that.

I think it will eventually go to a bear market again and can drop to 7k - 10k range. I don't think or try to said it would be now, but if we look into the bull and bear market moves it could well go that low on next bear market. To go at 20k as the lowest we would need to hit a highe rall time high this current bull market of 100k+ and I'm not so sure we will hit those figures on this bull market.

Yes I know... the funny thing is that this dude still posting nonsense about bitcoin. I would like to hear his explanation on why it didn't dump to $1 and we hit a new all time high but of course I would want to hear that not as an educative mindset but just to laugh a bit more.

Yes now we can fill the blanks and recalculate soon the new ATH once we will start to go bearish again Smiley

it will never cost less than 2k dollars, it’s foolish to hope that it will fall so much




Actually according to the data if you look at the image the next average All time high will be in 1.8 year (around 2 years) and it could go close to 50K, so that is good news.

However if you look at the data on the picture and analyse the average crash as compared to the previous all time high before it start the recovery process bitcoin can go as low as between $800 USD to $2,500 USD. So be prepared for this kind of drop and don't rely that the recovery to the next all time high will start in January or even on 2019, it could well start on 2020 only. Be strong and patient.



I'm not sure it this dude still believe bitcoin will go to $1USD. He said he foresaw it going from 20k to 3.6k although I have not found that post. However I posted here 2 years ago sayin that we would have another all time high around 2020 and potentially to 50K. I think I'm a bit closer on the future seeing challenge wouldn't you all agree?

I am not convinced that the Corona virus can have such a dramatic affect on the Bitcoin price. This virus have been around for months now and the Bitcoin price was stable. We even had two huge positive announcements, with both India and South Korea accepting Bitcoin as a commodity/currency.  Roll Eyes

This is looking more like price manipulation prior to the Halving, because the whales know the Halving will have a further positive impact on the price and they want to scare the "weak hands" into selling their coins to make a bigger profit.  Angry

                                                    There is nothing negative driving this huge price drop.

Spot on. I know some whales as "normally whales know each other" Smiley so the whale group applies.

Yes will tell a little secret here now that the herd is scared off. Their are waiting for the 5K to kick in then you will see the long green bars going up on your tradeview screens. You know people with money who are willing to invest like to buy at premium price. 9k 8k even 7k is not interesting that is for the herd to bite in. So if you still have some to invest and are waiting for the best time be alert as soon as the 5.5k mark start to show again, but be aware some whales are a bit more greedy then others Smiley Happy tradings.

Bitcoin will hit at least $2,500 USD (but can really go to $1,000) before we will see the bulls. So don't get over excited as this movements is just another "lower high" before we fall deeper into the crypto abyss.

Longest bear market I have experienced apart from this one was one time in Asia, when there was this 3 mile long market where they sold bear meat and skin  Grin

Looks like some people trying to do the same with Bitcoin, by killing it and selling it apart, but the problem is that it is not soft meat neither is very good as a garment, so this bear market will eventually come to an end.
