Bitcoin-qt will automatic assign a new bitcoin address to the "charge" (for security and privacy reasons). Your wallet.dat will contain a "key pool" of 100 new bitcoin addresses, but when theses are spend, then bitcoin-qt will generate a new addresses. So backup every 100 transfers, or change the default key pool size by running bitcoin-qt once with the parameter: -keypool n (where n = how many keys to pre-generate, eg 1000). | |
