Re- disscuion about having the 20 XRP back when you close the xrp address ( REPLY TO DAVID SWARTZ)

[btemtd]

https://github.com/ripple/ripple-client/issues/754# ^^ this was an old thread where i read something you said but no one seemed to have anything to say back but i had a read and let me wondering with question

Ill paste it here :

We

don't know of any secure way to do this. If the account is deleted, there's nothing to prevent the account from being re-created. And if that happens, all the old transactions would be valid again. The account must remain in the ledger to hold the information that the transactions have already been applied. This breaks our wallet security model and our transaction idempotence model.

Hi David can you elaborate on this as this does not make any sense to me, you say if i open up some new wallet and generate a random address ( a 3rd party XRP wallet which is not tied to any ripple tool) .. How does bitcoin generate 100000s of addresses and then throw em away like nothing. How does any coin do the same and stop someone else generating the same address, i heard it doesn't and the chances of generating the same address in btc is like finding a sand particle on all the beaches in the world then times 1000 planet and all there beaches... some stupid explanation like that. But I am interested in where you say when a xrp wallet is created are you saying it an never be generate, is that because when you generate a wallet its connect to the XRPL? And in that case does this mean there are no such things as offline xrp wallet generators, which there is so this is where it doesnt make sense. because then anyone can generate someone address and then have access to there funds not just tx IDS
