Address reuse is a significant privacy flaw on the Bitcoin blockchain. If you publicly receive funds to the same address multiple times, anyone can easily see all transactions associated with that address and calculate your total balance. Mycelium actively mitigates this risk through its default behavior as a Hierarchical Deterministic (HD) wallet. Every time you tap the « Receive » button, the mycelium wallet automatically generates a brand new, unused address from your master seed. This ensures that each payer sends funds to a unique address, making it exponentially more difficult for outside observers to link your transactions together and determine your total holdings. This privacy-best-practice is built-in and automatic, protecting users even if they are unaware of the underlying technical reasons.
