Change Back to Original 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 refunded. In this article, we will explore how to achieve this feature in Sparrow Wallet.
Understanding Use Change
In Electrum, you can set use_change: false to prevent Bitcoins 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 change back to the original address in Sparrow Wallet, follow these steps:
- Transfer Bitcoins to Your Sparrow Account
: Log in to your Sparrow Wallet and transfer Bitcoins from another wallet or exchange.
- Go to the “Transaction” tab: In your Sparrow Wallet, go to the transaction tab where you are viewing the current transaction.
- Check the “Apply Change” option: Look for the drop-down menu labeled “Apply Change.” If it is not available, check if there are any options, such as “Return to Original Address.”
- Select the correct method: Instead of the default “Refund to recipient’s wallet,” select “Return to Original Address.”
Additional Tips
