Doubt about the MultiBit wallet

0

I'm using the MultiBit wallet and I can't get my satoshis from faucetbox. I read on MultiBit page that the most secure way to receive a payment is generating a brand new wallet address. That's my question, I'm using an old MultiBit wallet address on faucetbox, that can be the reason for this issue? I mean, not receiving my satoshis from faucetbox? Sorry about my bad english :D Peace for all.

Is That an old MultiBit address, but generated with the MultiBit that you currently have installed? I don't know faucetbox, but have you checked if they have a mininum payout or something? – Murch – 2016-04-07T21:55:36.893

First of all, most faucets (not all) have a minimum payout of 20000 satoshis. Check the minimum payout of the faucet you are using. Try updating to one of the latest versions of multibit from here. Generate a new address and try again, it should work. Maybe because of the forks in the network the old address may not be valid.

Could you please explain further why old addresses would not be valid any more? – Murch – 2016-11-20T23:03:08.053

Adresses have remained backward compatible throughout the entire Bitcoin history, so old addresses remain valid. – cdecker – 2016-11-24T15:30:51.213
