I'm looking at the [API](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Original_Bitcoin_client/API_Calls_list) and it's really confusing.

I should be able to set the bitcoin address using `setaddress`, but I have no idea how accounts work. Can I omit the account and just specify a bitcoin address?

Would the following make sense in [node-bitcoin](https://github.com/jb55/node-bitcoin)?

var myBitCoinAddress = "abc1234567890qwertyQWERTY";
client.setAddress(myBitcoinAddress);
