How to Create a Sending Address with Bitcoin Core: A Step-by-Step Guide
Are you familiar with the concept of sending cryptocurrency? In this article, we will walk you through the process of creating a receiving address (also known as a “sending address”) with Bitcoin Core.
What is a receiving address?
A receiving address is used to send funds from your Bitcoin wallet to another wallet or to an exchange. It is like a bank account that allows you to receive payments and transfer them to other addresses.
Step 1: Open Bitcoin Core and go to the Settings menu
To create a sending address, you will need to open Bitcoin Core and go to the Settings menu. Here is how:
- On Windows:
+ Launch Bitcoin Core from the Start menu.
+ Click on “Wallet” > “Settings” > “Edit”.
+ Select the wallet you want to use (e.g. your primary wallet or a secondary wallet).
- On macOS or Linux:
+ Launch Bitcoin Core from the Applications/Utilities folder.
+ Select “Wallet” > “Edit Wallet”.
Step 2: Select Address Type
Once in the settings menu, select the type of address you want to use. In this case, we will choose “Delivery Only”. This means that funds will only be sent to the chosen address.
- You can also create a receiving address with multiple addresses by selecting the “Multiple Senders” option and adding each address separately.
- To create a shipping address, select “Delivery Only”.
Step 3: Add Address
Now, you will need to add the address that will receive your funds. Here’s how:
- On Windows:
+ In the settings menu, click “Add Sender”.
+ Select the address type (e.g. “Address”).
+ Enter the recipient’s Bitcoin wallet or exchange name and ID.
- On macOS or Linux:
+ Click “Add Sender” under the “Senders” tab.
Step 4: Complete the information
To complete the process, you will need to fill out some information. This includes:
- The address type (e.g. “Address”).
- The recipient’s Bitcoin wallet or exchange name and ID.
- Any additional details required by the recipient (e.g. a username or email address).
Step 5: Save changes
Once you have added all the necessary information, click “Save” to save your changes.
Tips and Variations
Here are some tips and variations to keep in mind:
- You can also create a shipping address with a specific rate (e.g. $10) by selecting the “Rate Only” option.
- To send funds to multiple addresses at once, select the “Multiple Senders” option and add each address separately.
- Make sure you are using the correct wallet or exchange for the recipient’s account.
If you follow these steps, you should now have a receiving address with Bitcoin Core that can receive payments from your main wallet. Happy shipping!
