Title: How do you import a P2PK address into Bitcoin Core Post by: BitcoinCanSaveUsAll on June 22, 2021, 04:12:11 PM I know that importprivkey is the way to import keys, but how do you specify that the address format you want is P2PKH? As far as I understand things, P2PKH is the only address format supported that you can sign messages with that has a standardized signature cross platform.

Go to Window>Console, and type in this: Code: importprivkey LPRIVATEKEY If it is encrypted, Code: walletpassphrase PASSWORD 600 Core automatically generates (and imports) all 3 main address type (P2PKH, P2WPKH, P2SH-P2WPKH) during importing.

I was unaware of the bitcoin core importing all address types associated with the private keys although I guess in hindsight it only makes senses. Either way you feedback was much appreciated.
