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 no addresstype is specified the address generated is a bech32 address.
RETURN VALUE
On success, an object is returned, containing:
- bech32 (string, optional): The bech32 (native segwit) address
- p2sh-segwit (string, optional): The p2sh-wrapped address
ERRORS
If an unrecognized address type is requested an error message will be returned.
