CH01::Receving: remove misleading claim about address identity association
Original text claimed that there is no association between a user's identity and their addresses prior to using that address in most wallets, but many lightweight wallets send even their not-yet-used addresses to remote servers to scan for incoming payments. This is often done over IPv4 or IPv6, which creates a link between the user's connection and their addresses. Update text by simply dropping this claim.

In most wallets, there is no association between a Bitcoin address and any externally identifiable information including the user's identity. Until the moment an address is referenced as the recipient of value in a transaction posted on the bitcoin ledger, the Bitcoin address is simply part of the vast number of possible addresses that are valid in bitcoin. Only once an address has been associated with a transaction does it become part of the known addresses in the network.
