nostr:npub1hea99yd4xt5tjx8jmjvpfz2g5v7nurdqw7ydwst0ww6vw520prnq6fg9v2 I have a question.

One of the nice features of sparrow wallet is, it clearly shows the distinction between receive addresses and change addresses, and shows lists for both.

What would happen if a user inadvertently chooses a change address instead of a receive address to receive funds?

@craigraw I still have this question.

Asking because Sparrow Wallet exposes, change addresses. That’s actually cool, but I’m wondering about some ramifications of that.

My uneducated guess is, it’s fine. Is that right?

It’s fine. There is a chance of address reuse if you hand out a change address to someone and they use it after the wallet has already used it for change.
