<p>Bitcoin core support the methods : 
<code>
getnewaddress [account]
getBalance [account] [minconf=1]
</code>
All of them are base on account concept. So I wonder that if one account can contains more than one address?</p>

<p>When I call the <code>getnewaddress</code> with the same account name many times, what does happen? The account will associate with all addresses that the method created, right?</p>

When I call the `getnewaddress` with the same account name many times, what does happen? The account will associate with all addresses that the method created, right?
