Bitcoin basics (reuse paper wallet) I'm new to bitcoin and have read numerous articles about it, but I still have questions about how it works. All the articles that I read say the same that once I spend bitcoin from paper wallet its address gets depleted. So does it mean exactly , because my understanding is that after importing your paper wallet (for example you use it for donation) to software wallet the bitcoins still belong to the paper wallet, you didn't transfer them into your software wallet address, in other words, you let your software wallet manage you paper wallet, right? So after you imported it, you want to spend it (say you have 2 bitcoins in your paper wallet). You specify your paper wallet address and the address you want to sent 0.5 of 2.0 bitcoins to (for example the address belong to Alice). After which all your paper wallet bitcoins sent to the network, split into 0.5 and 1.5. 0.5 goes to Alice, and 1.5 goes back, where to? To your software wallet address...
