Title: Can't seem to create legacy address in Core Post by: sowns on October 02, 2019, 08:35:56 PM How do I get a legacy address for Bitcoin Core? I only need one for testing the signing and verification optionns and external one like blockchain.info don't work.
Title: Re: Can't seem to create legacy address in Core Post by: TryNinja on October 02, 2019, 08:38:51 PM Have you tried Electrum[1]? It's a lightweight wallet that doesn't require you to download the whole blockchain. Just select "Legacy" as wallet type when creating a new wallet. Since it's only for a quick test, it should be enough.
Or if you still want to use Bitcoin Core, you can generate a single legacy address by opening the console (Windows -> Console) and using the following command: Code: getnewaddress("label of your address" "legacy")[1] https://electrum.org/#download (the ONLY legit website to download Electrum's wallet. Please double check the URL and verify the file signature (https://bitcoinelectrum.com/how-to-verify-your-electrum-download/) if you decide to use it).

Since it's only for a quick test, it should be enough. I just tried the code and I get an invalid syntax error. I'm testing Core's message signing option to see if it works without needing to download the whole chain(related to one of the previous thread I posted in).Or if you still want to use Bitcoin Core, you can generate a single legacy address by opening the console (Windows -> Console) and using the following command: Code: getnewaddress("label of your address" "legacy")[1] https://electrum.org/#download (the ONLY legit website to download Electrum's wallet.

getnewaddress "somelabel" "legacy" Title: Re: Can't seem to create legacy address in Core Post by: sowns on October 03, 2019, 03:06:51 AM Yeah, omitting the brackets is what got the message to work. Thanks guys. Edit: Just to confirm:
