lightning-newaddr -- Command for generating a new address to be used by Core Lightning
======================================================================================
SYNOPSIS
--------
**newaddr** [*addresstype*]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
The **newaddr** RPC command generates a new address which can
subsequently be used to fund channels managed by the Core Lightning node.
The funding transaction needs to be confirmed before funds can be used.
*addresstype* specifies the type of address wanted; currently *bech32*
(e.g. `tb1qu9j4lg5f9rgjyfhvfd905vw46eg39czmktxqgg` on bitcoin testnet
or `bc1qwqdg6squsna38e46795at95yu9atm8azzmyvckulcc7kytlcckxswvvzej` on
bitcoin mainnet). The special value *all* generates all known address types
for the same underlying key.
If no *addresstype* is specified the address generated is a *bech32* address.
To send an on-chain payment _from_ the Core Lightning node wallet, use `withdraw`.
RETURN VALUE
------------
[comment]: # (GENERATE-FROM-SCHEMA-START)
On success, an object is returned, containing:
- **bech32** (string, optional): The bech32 (native segwit) address
- **p2sh-segwit** (string, optional): The p2sh-wrapped address **deprecated, removal in v23.11**
[comment]: # (GENERATE-FROM-SCHEMA-END)
ERRORS
------
If an unrecognized address type is requested an error message will be
returned.
