Addresses

The wallet derives indexed addresses from one master secret. Address 0 is created during setup and named Main. Further addresses can be generated from the Addresses dialog.

Address book and active-owner selection

Open the address book

Press F2 or select Addresses. The table shows:

derivation index;
local label;
address;
whether the address is active.

Labels are stored locally and are not part of consensus.

Create an address

Select New address. The next derivation index is created and added to the wallet. A new address is inactive until selected explicitly.

Copy an address with the control beside it. Parano1d addresses use the bech32m o1… display form; use the complete string.

Change the active address

Choose Use for an inactive row. The active address determines:

which owner's UTXOs a new payment can spend;
where payment change returns;
the default internal-mining payout.

Switching is blocked while the wallet has a local send, consolidation or activation operation in progress. This prevents a completed proof from being presented under a different UI owner.

Existing mining work keeps the payout embedded in its immutable template. New templates use the newly active address.

Restored addresses

After master-secret import, automatic discovery tests addresses sequentially. It adds a contiguous funded prefix and stops at the first empty address, with a maximum of 20 candidates per import.

This is intentionally bounded. The node does not search every possible derived address or store an index for someone else's wallet.

Sending to another wallet address

A payment from the active owner to one of the wallet's inactive addresses is a real different-owner payment. It receives a normal receipt.

Consolidation is different: it spends and returns value to the same active owner, so no payment receipt is created.
