    This list can become very clustered with abandoned addresses, and can make finding specific addresses more difficult.

    Deleting addresses should require the password if the wallet is encrypted.

    Hiding an address would be preferable, just in case a person receives a transaction to one.

    Deleting addresses will never be supported, hiding would indeed be useful.

    Perhaps being able to mute addresses as well, in the case of micro-payment spam. (Though I guess if they know one address they can fairly easily find the rest of them if they're used.)

    More than 1 year has passed and we still don't have this feature?

    As long as no one is interested in implementing it, it won't happen.

    Making suggestions here is just an idea box for (potential) contributors, it does not obligate anyone to take action of any kind.

    Similar to #1653 and #3314 (but not a duplicate)

  8. laanwj added the label Feature on Feb 9, 2016

    Not sure if I understand the feature correctly:

    1. Add a "visible" column where each row has a checkbox and then an option "[x] show visible only", or
    2. automatically hide what doesn't matter and an option to toggle that.

    Same as #17174.

    By supporting multiple labels we could have internal labels like "__hidden"? getaddressinfo already returns labels: [].

    Let's continue discussion in #17174
