Not sure if this is a healthy attitude but if protoshareholders are supposed to have "the resources, the interest, and the domain knowledge to invest [protoshares] wisely", should we really be doing this much hand-holding?

Nearly done adding the code, i however found this draw back commented in

Code: [Select]
// Note: We use a new key here to keep it from being obvious which side is the change.
 +                        //  The drawback is that by not reusing a previous key, the change may be lost if a
 +                        //  backup is restored, if the backup doesn't have the new private key for the change.
 +                        //  If we reused the old key, it would be possible to add code to look for and
 +                        //  rediscover unknown transactions that were written with keys of ours to recover
 +                        //  post-backup change.

It should just be replacing the change address and nothing on the protocol layer.   I will up the bounty slightly.
So will there be separate clients for people that want the usual change behavior and people that want change to come back to the same address?
(giving the user the option to choose is basically re-implementing coincontrol)

I think it could be as simple as a single extra field in the sending field.  No need to control inputs, just the change address.

This is a huge change in the client and protocol how transactions are processed.

I think this topic is worth ~ 500 PTS. A good approach would be to implement the experimental coin control from bitcoin client.

I would like an update to the ProtoShares-Qt wallet that gives users the ability to specify the change address when they send.

To claim this bounty you must have a pull request accepted and merged by FreeTrade who will the build a Windows executable.  FreeTrade, you volunteered to do this from time to time for us, but I am more than willing to pay you some PTS as a tip for helping in this way.
