minor bitcoin-qt gripes moving BTC off specific key



Summary:

In this message, Adam Back discusses the need for a user experience (UX) way to transfer Bitcoin (BTC) off a specific address. Currently, users have to spend their entire wallet balance onto a new address to move BTC off a specific address, which creates more network traffic, higher fees, and damages privacy.

The author suggests that an "advanced" GUI option to choose the source account/key would be a nice feature to have. They sign off with their contact information and a quote about love from Leibniz.
