Once I created an Electrum chilly storage pockets, I began out with 20 receiving addresses. I rapidly burned via utilizing these, sending BTC to my pockets whereas eager to solely use any given tackle as soon as.
Along with the offline chilly storage pockets, I additionally created two Electrum watch-only wallets, one on my related PC at house and a second on a related PC at work. Oddly, when creating the watch-only pockets for my house PC, I merely selected so as to add the 20 authentic receiving addresses to the watch-only pockets; however after I created the watch-only pockets on my work PC, I chosen the choice to make use of the grasp pub key (xpub/ypub/zpub), which appeared to populate my authentic 20 receiving addresses with out me having to import them (and now whereas enhancing in these extra particulars I’m considering that is doubtless the supply of the surprising 30 addresses that simply confirmed up in my watch-only pockets).
So as a result of I used to be utilizing up my authentic 20 receiving addresses, I generated 110 extra addresses utilizing the console (one thing like: pockets.change_gap_limit(110)) in my airgapped chilly storage pockets. However after I went so as to add these extra 110 addresses to my Electrum watch-only pockets, I noticed that my watch-wallet had an extra 30 addresses already unexpectedly added to my pockets (because the final time I logged in), for a complete of fifty (30 + the 20 authentic), not counting the 110 I generated in my chilly storage pockets.
I in contrast the extra 30 addresses with the 110, and none of them match. So now I’m perplexed and a little bit cautious of these extra 30 addresses, since they simply confirmed up in my watching-only pockets, coincidentally after I was nearly to import/add the 110 addresses generated by my chilly storage pockets.
Though I’m cautious, I hope there’s a completely logical reply to elucidate the surprising addition of 30 new addresses in my watching-only pockets.
