<p>I have a question about bitcoind's getnewaddress command. After I generated by using the command, I can search the address on Blockchain.info. As far as I checked bitcoind's log, bitcoind did not inform about the generating new address to Bitcoin network. So I'm wondering why I can see the information on Blockchain.info. Any help will be appropriated. Thanks.</p>

<p>My address is this.</p>

If you look into what addresses really are (<https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Address>), then you will see what I mean by "validating" the address.
