Sweet, I was looking for a group like that on Usenet at one point to see what I would use if I needed, and nothing really fit. I'm sure Google groups is a lot easier to post to. There are some scenarios where a Usenet or Google group…

It should be your Bitcoin address at home that you received it with. There's no way for it to know who it's from, so the best it can do is tell which of your addresses it was received on. You can create multiple addresses and give a…
