A Bitcoin address is a Bitcoin address, the wallet you use doesn't change anything. A mining pool software can't tell the difference between a bech32 address generated with Electrum and a bech32 address from Core, for example, because they aren't any difference.

Does your Bitcoin Core offer you a legacy address, perhaps? What's your address prefix? Even if that's the case, I don't think this should be an issue, as far as I know public-pool accepts all kind of BTC addresses (perhaps not Silent but it's offtopic).

Current wallet is Bech32(SegWt)

Other options are: Base58(legacy), Base58(P2SH-SegWit) and Bech32m(Taproot)

Which one I should use?

edit: doesn't matter, neither is working. Probably Public-Pool no supporting Bitcoin Core.

So let me close the topic with this.

The problem was the bitcoin core was running on testnet instead mainnet.

Second I try it on Bech32(SegWit) over 10min I couldn't see my worker. I change the wallet address to Base58(P2SH-SegWit) and just under 40sec I was already saw my worker in website.

Thank you mate!

Close the topic if you wish.
