    I want to setup a system that allows me to receive bitcoins from all of my created addresses. But for security reasons I do not want to reuse my old addresses. How can I do that ?

    Warm regards from istanbul Turkey Thanks to all bitcoin community. Keep up the good work

    This is not a support forum. Additionally, your question makes no sense (Bitcoin Core already accepts bitcoins received on all addresses and discourages address reuse).

    Sorry if I got your time.

    From a broker point of view : We understand the "discourage of address reuse" , but our users do make mistakes and reuse them even though we tell them. We are trying to eliminate the needed operational costs.

    @luke-jr is correct here. Bitcoin Core will never give you the same address twice, and allows you to receive bitcoins on all of your created addresses as long as you keep your wallet.
