LIGHTNING-NEWADDR(7)
====================
:doctype: manpage
NAME
----
lightning-newaddr - Command for generating a new address to
be used by c-lightning.
SYNOPSIS
--------
*newaddr* [ 'addresstype' ]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
The *newaddr* RPC command generates a new address which can
subsequently be used to fund channels managed by the c-lightning node.
The funding transaction needs to be confirmed before funds can be used.
'addresstype' specifies the type of address wanted; i.e.
'p2sh-segwit' (e.g. 2MxaozoqWwiUcuD9KKgUSrLFDafLqimT9Ta on bitcoin testnet
or 3MZxzq3jBSKNQ2e7dzneo9hy4FvNzmMmt3 on bitcoin mainnet) or 'bech32 '
(e.g. tb1qu9j4lg5f9rgjyfhvfd905vw46eg39czmktxqgg on bitcoin testnet or
bc1qwqdg6squsna38e46795at95yu9atm8azzmyvckulcc7kytlcckxswvvzej on bitcoin mainnet).
The special value 'all' generates both address types for the same underlying key.
If not specified the address generated is bech32.
RETURN VALUE
------------
On success, a 'bech32' address and/or a 'p2sh-segwit' address will be returned.
ERRORS
------
If an unrecognized address type is requested an error message will be returned.
