Generated receiving address not starting with letter "V"

[Strunczez]

I recently switched to 13.1 and generated receiveing address is not starting with letter "V" is this correct?

[metalicjames]

That is correct. The new format is the vtc1q prefixed bech32 segwit addresses which you should use instead. In the case you need an old wallet to send to you, use the 3 prefixed P2SH address.

[Strunczez]

Ahh ok. I do not know that.
p2pool which I use does not work with thoose new adresses.

[metalicjames]

We're working on upgrading P2Pool to support the new address format. In the meantime you can generate a V address from the debug console using getnewaddress "" legacy.

[Strunczez]

Downloaded 12.0 generated new address, switched to 13.1 and everything is OK.

I will write an Email to You about programing from address lukasz.m@gmail.com
