I have bitcoin-core installed, I am running it in testnet mode. Now if I want to fund my wallet, I need to know the receiving address. How do find my receiving address, so that I can fund it and then complete a transaction. I am using bitcoin-cli -testnet , what is best way to fund my own wallet so that I can send some coins to another address?
You'll want to use getnewaddress. Here is the output of bitcoin-cli help getnewaddress from Satoshi:0.17.0.1:
bitcoin-cli getnewaddress( "label" "address_type" )
Returns a new Bitcoin address for receiving payments.
If 'label' is specified, it is added to the address book
so payments received with the address will be associated with 'label'.
Arguments:
1. "label" (string, optional) The label name for the address to be linked to. If not provided, the default label "" is used. It can also be set to the empty string "" to represent the default label. The label does not need to exist, it will be created if there is no label by the given name.
2. "address_type" (string, optional) The address type to use. Options are "legacy", "p2sh-segwit", and "bech32". Default is set by -addresstype.
Result:
"address" (string) The new bitcoin address
Examples: > bitcoin-cli getnewaddress > curl --user myusername --data-binary '{"jsonrpc": "1.0", "id":"curltest", "method": "getnewaddress", "params": [] }' -H 'content-type: text/plain;' http://127.0.0.1:8332/
