Title: Where is the "New" button on Receiving Addresses of bitcoin core 0.17.0? Post by: dropBear on October 14, 2018, 03:44:52 PM Umm am I just being really thick or has the "New" button in the Receiving Addresses window of bitcoin core disappeared in 0.17.0?

I think you need to press "Receive Payment" now, and that'll generate a new receiving adress (every time you click it). See the picture below; https://i.imgur.com/TNe98Mi.png You can go to File > Receiving adresses and it'll show up there too.

I'll find some more documentation about that window - I've never used it but I'm guessing clicking Request Payment does something more on the network than just creating a new receiving address in the old window?

No, it just displays it differently. Title: Re: Where is the "New" button on Receiving Addresses of bitcoin core 0.17.0?

Post by: dropBear on October 16, 2018, 03:50:49 AM So after reviewing the following resources I can't find anything specific about the removal of that button but my knowledge of the architecture of bitcoin core is limited and it may be a change documented here necessarily implies its removal:
https://bitcoin.org/en/release/v0.17.0 (https://bitcoin.org/en/release/v0.17.0) https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/bitcoin-core-0170-released-heres-whats-new/ (https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/bitcoin-core-0170-released-heres-whats-new/) I did learn I can just leave all those fields blank to effectively do the same thing as the New button in Receiving Addresses used to do |
