Trammell had his “aha” moment about the confusing transaction label:
Ah! I didn’t even notice it was my address at home, you’re right (: I do have multiple addresses created at home so I didn’t make the connection.
He confirmed that ‘Satoshi’ was indeed associated with the receiving address under the Change button’s addresses, but raised a new question:
I don’t recall setting that value though, is that the default or something? (this is the first, default, address that the application generated itself when I first ran it)
This exchange highlights the early usability challenges of Bitcoin — even a technically sophisticated user like Trammell, who was a security researcher comfortable with cryptographic concepts, found the address book and transaction display confusing enough to misidentify the source of his own self-transfer.
