You just contradicted yourself, which is misleading. You started off by saying:
> No one has a single "permanent" Bitcoin address.
And then you finished with:
>So, unless you just happen to leave a single address published publicly as your donation address, you don't have a permanent address.
- lambda 12y agoSo yes, you can arbitrarily pick one address of yours to share publicly and keep permanent. But there is nothing in the protocol or any of the default clients that gives anyone a distinguished "permanent address". So saying "I wish we knew Mozilla's permanent Bitcoin address" indicates that such a thing is expected, when in reality any one address that an entity has is a good as any other, and addresses are generally intended to be ephemeral and single use.
