<p>I just installed exodus,
1) why the program didn't even ask, do you want a new address? it's generated automatically!
2) when I click recieve on my bitcoin wallet, there are two different addresses generated(that I can click next or backward to chose them), interestingly enough they are not there to be chosen when I click send. which address is mine?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

When you want people to pay you, you can give them different addresses, which means you can keep track of who paid and who didn't.
