How to use bitcoin-core (cli) in legacy (non-segwit) mode?

[praveenbm5]

Hello everybody,

Is there anyway I can configure bitcoin-core (cli) to use legacy address and transactions instead of newer segwit enabled transactions?

I am using v0.18.0.0

Thanks in advance.

I actually am trying to test some non-standard scripts and getting them to work in Segwit compliant way but using witness stack etc. has been painful as there are no tools readily available to sign and add signatures to the transaction.

Shutdown Bitcoin Core and add this to your bitcoin.conf file from the default data directory (not the specified directory if you set it before):

Code:

addresstype=legacy
changetype=legacy

Then try to generate new address.

will try and let you know how it worked out.

Thanks, it works on my Bitcoin Core.

Save the original file settings if you want to return to default.
