Re: Can't seem to create legacy address in Core

Have you tried Electrum[1]? It's a lightweight wallet that doesn't require you to download the whole blockchain. Just select "Legacy" as wallet type when creating a new wallet. Since it's only for a quick test, it should be enough.

Or if you still want to use Bitcoin Core, you can generate a single legacy address by opening the console (Windows -> Console) and using the following command:

Code:

getnewaddress("label of your address" "legacy")
