What is the difference between public keys and addresses? How are new addresses generated? How are change addresses generated? Why have two outputs? Do you still pay fees if you are sending bitcoin to new addresses in your own wallet? What is the VanityGen command? What does the SIG_HASH flag do?

0:00 What is the difference between public keys and addresses?
0:57 If my wallet automatically generates a new address for each transaction, will bitcoin previously sent to me on a different address be transferred to the new address just generated? If someone is going to send me funds to a previously-used address, will I still receive them?
3:54 How can we generate a new address to receive change?
4:17 Why not have a single output with the exact amount of BTC, instead of two outputs, one of which is change?
5:17 Do transactions with multiple inputs and one output pay a fee, even if the wallet is just reorganizing funds?
7:00 Can you explain the VanityGen command? What is a vanity address?
10:55 SIGHASH_ALL is for signing all inputs and outputs. How can all inputs be signed with one signature, when each of the inputs have a different private key?
These questions are from the MOOC 9.3 and 9.5 sessions which took place on March 2nd and March 16th, 2018 respectively. Andreas is a teaching fellow with the University of Nicosia. The first course in their Master of Science in Digital Currency degree, DFIN-511: Introduction to Digital Currencies, is offered for free as an open enrollment MOOC course to anyone interested in learning about the fundamental principles.
