Changing the Origin Address in Sparrow Wallet
As a Bitcoin user, you are probably familiar with sending and receiving Bitcoins through various wallets and exchanges. However, when using Sparrow Wallet, you may encounter issues where the change is sent back to the original address instead of being returned. In this article, we will explore how to achieve this functionality in Sparrow Wallet.
Understanding Use Change
In Electrum, you can set « use_change: false » to prevent Bitcoin from being sent back to the original address when transferring funds. However, this feature is not available in Sparrow Wallet.
Using Alternative Methods with Sparrow Wallet
To get a change back to the original address in Sparrow Wallet, follow these steps:
- Transfer Bitcoins to Your Sparrow Account
: Log in to Sparrow Wallet and transfer Bitcoins from another wallet or exchange.
- Go to the « Transaction » tab: In Sparrow Wallet, go to the transaction tab where you are viewing the current transaction.
- Select the « Apply Change » option: Look for the « Apply Change » drop-down menu. If it is not available, check if there are any options such as « Revert to source address ».
- Select the correct method
: Select « Revert to origin address » instead of the default « Refund to recipient’s wallet ».
Additional tips
- Make sure you are using the latest version of Sparrow Wallet.
- If you have multiple accounts with different settings, try resetting them all to their defaults.
By following these steps, you should be able to get your exchange back to the original address in Sparrow Wallet. Keep in mind that this feature is not available by default, so you will need to manually select the « Revert to origin address » option or use alternative methods.
