Hi Guys,

sometime meals/lodging were being paid but by default Bech32 (Segwit) were auto selected on the dropdown box of BCore 23.
this is creating a bit of confusion for our cashiers - had remember to either uncheck create bech32 address to change dropdown to select Base58 so it creates a bit of confusion.

This had to do with wallet implementations I think - because not all can process upper case bech32 addresses. some of them won't even allow prefix / substring that starts with bitcoin:BC1Q*******. (it is a bit irony that bitcoin: part is lower case, whilst address isn't)

did look for command line arguments on wallet options but to no avail (so can be specified when starting Bitcoin core).  Any tips on an work-around are appreciated!
