'address list' doesn't list utxos from 'split'

I think the terminology was introduced by BIP32. Basically, external addresses are meant to be targets for receiving coins from other wallets. Internal address are meant to be for this wallet sending coins to itself (which is what split is doing).

I think it's reasonable to have --internal flag which includes internal addresses in the address list. If that flag is set there should also be a column saying whether it's internal or external I guess. I'd also like the derivation index as a side note.

Ahh thanks, good to know. Most other wallets that I've used show all addresses no matter what, however I think most people using this wallet will be using the utxo view to see what their holdings look like.

Maybe this can be solved by calling them receiving addresses and then that would clear up confusion (though I do think showing all addresses ever used would be more clear and having an option to show all or only those with non-zero balance would be easiest to understand).

Right so address list only shows external addresses so this is working at intended. I think this is how most wallets work (but iirc you are not the first to be confused by this). Split pays to internal addresses. Can you verify they show up in gun -s utxo list?

docs and --help can at least be improved before closing this issue.

what's an external address?

they do show up when I list utxos.

This was fixed by #78 (released soon) with the ability to list internal addresses
