Rusty Russell bcabb3825f Makefile: Revert ba7d4a8f6b (make-schema: don't include tools/fromschema.py in SHASUMS)
1. If the tool changes, you need to regenerate since the output may
   change.

2. This didn't just filter that out, ignored all but the first
   dependency, which made bisecting the bookkeeper plugin a nightmare:
   it didn't regenerate the .po file, causing random crashes.

If we want this, try $(filter-out tools/fromschema.py) instead.  But I
don't think we want that.

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; 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.

To send an on-chain payment from the Core Lightning node wallet, use withdraw.

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.
