Trammell reports confusion about a 100 BTC transfer between his own two Bitcoin instances — the transaction details showed 'Satoshi' as a label, leading him to wonder if Satoshi had sent the coins.
Satoshi explains the 'Satoshi' label came from Trammell's own address book, that transactions show the receiving address (not the sender), and recommends per-payer addresses to identify payers.
Trammell realizes the confusing 'Satoshi' label was on his own receiving address, confirms he has multiple addresses at home, and asks if 'Satoshi' was the default since he doesn't recall setting it.
Satoshi explains the default address label is 'Your Address', suggests the mislabeling was a UI-driven user error, and acknowledges that per-payer receiving addresses have no real-world analogy.
Trammell admits the mislabeling was his error, suggests changing 'Received with' to 'Received payment to' for clarity, and draws a PayPal analogy as the closest parallel to multiple addresses.
