Bug: listreceivedbyaddress includes send addresses

[jimbursch]

I was using this command:

./dash-cli listreceivedbyaddress 0 true

to generate a list of unused addresses (0 confirmations and 0 amount) to assign to users for payment processing until I discovered that send addresses (external addresses where Dash was sent) are included in the list. This is a legacy bug from Bitcoin Core that is described here:

@UdjinM6 -- are you aware of this issue?

Nope, had no idea, interesting..

Ah, I see what's going on! They list all addresses saved in wallet's address book BUT address book also stores addresses you sent to a) with some label attached to it or b) via payment request. You can check these addresses in "File" -> "Sending addresses...". I'm not sure if that's a feature or a bug but given the fact that amount is always "0" and no actual txes are listed I guess it's indeed a bug

I've added the issue here:

Not sure what OS you're on or if this is still relevant, but this simple bash script will do the type of thing you were trying to do until while that issue is open -

It may not be terribly efficient if you're dealing with a large number of addresses, but should be better than manually checking addresses.
