I want to get all my addresses - including the auto-generated "change" addresses - from a running bitcoind somehow.

I haven't been able to do it in a simple way. "getaddressesbyaccount" and all the other API options are only listing the "public" addresses and sometimes few additional ones, but never the already used change addresses. Can I do that somehow?

listaddressgroupings

I used the command listaddressgroupings from the bitcoin-qt console window and it listed all my addresses. I then looked for one of my old send transactions here:

https://blockchain.info/

And found the change address. It matches one of the addresses in the list.

    I think you are correct. I will let you know and accept this if this is indeed correct.

  • I did that and there's nothing in my groupings.

  • When I use that command, I see every address that I've ever used. Are you sure that the wallet is loaded? It shows other tranactions and non-change addresses? You can find your change addresses by looking up your addresses on blockchain.info

    This also showed me the balance of each address, which was precisely what I needed.

    This only shows used addresses in your wallet. The proper command is listreceivedbyaddress 0 true which lists all addresses in your wallet regardless of whether or not they have been used.

You may be able to use pywallet to get these.

The proper command is $ bitcoin-cli listreceivedbyaddress 0 true. It will list all addresses in your wallet, regardless of have being used or not
