Thousands of addresses on one accouny is the correct way to do it. Many accounts per wallet is bad.

Do not use this post as information for making any important decisions. The only agreements I ever make are informal and non-binding. Take the same precautions as when dealing with a compromised account, scammer, sockpuppet, etc.

... afaik those addresses can be regenerated ..

Many thanks - do you know if this will scale to thousands of addresses on a single account ok?
From what I remember of some posts of @toast, some exchanges (read: bter.com) having just a single account name and generating a new address for every single deposit .. still manage to run the client .. toast once told us that the filesizes of their backups are in the gigabytes   :o

A common merchant workflow is to generate a new bitcoin address for every site user, so you can map deposited funds to user.

With bitshares the closest thing you can do is to generate a new private key and then call wallet_import_private_key and hand out the bitshares address to the user.

Is this a feasible workflow, will it scale ok?
