Now, you may be wondering what a Bitcoin address is. Simply put, a Bitcoin address is a string of numbers and letters that is used as a destination for crypto payments. Each wallet has its own BTC address, which is unique, similar to how you can have an email address to send you emails. You can use the same address for multiple transactions, or you can generate a unique address for each transaction. Generating a Bitcoin address is easy within the wallet software, and there is usually a one-click button to do it. And if you were wondering what a Bitcoin address looks like, there are currently three different formats: Type 1: P2PKH type starting with number 1, such as 1BvBMSEYstWetqTFn5Au4m4GFg7xJaNVN2 Type 2: P2SH type starting with number 3, such as 3J98t1WpEZ73CNmQviecrnyiWrnqRhWNLy Type 3: Bech32 type starting with bc1, such as bc1qar0srrr7xfkvy5l643lydnw9re59gtzzwf5mdq

Anyone who has made transactions with bitcoin wallets knows that most wallets (maybe all of them) give us new receiving addresses frequently for the next transaction. This action is to ensure the safety of users but it can make users totally confused because they are left with tons of addresses which can be used only once and each of them contain the details about just one transaction. After a month, you will end up with hundreds of addresses. What should we do about them? Do you write each address and keep it in a notebook or simply forget about it and deal with new ones? There are websites like Blockexplorer which let you find any details you want about a particular address or block. Has it ever happened to you to look for old transactions through old addresses? Do you still have your previous addresses?
