Creating a Sending Address Using Bitcoin Core: A Step-by-Step Guide
Are you familiar with the concept of sending cryptocurrency? In this article, we will guide you through creating a receiving address (also known as a “sending address”) using Bitcoin Core.
What is a receiving address?
A receiving address is used to send funds from your Bitcoin wallet to another wallet or exchange. It is basically 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 need to open Bitcoin Core and go to the settings menu. Here’s how:
*On Windows:
+ Launch Bitcoin Core from the Start menu.
+ Click “Wallet” > “Settings” > “Edit”.
+ Select the wallet you want to use (e.g. your main wallet or a secondary wallet).
- MacOS or Linux:
+ Launch Bitcoin Core from the Applications/Utilities folder.
+ Select “Wallet” > “Edit Wallet”.
Step 2: Select Address Type
Once you are in the configuration menu, select the address type you want to use. In this case, we will select “Send Only”. This means that only funds will be sent to the selected address.
- You can also create a receiving address with multiple addresses by selecting “Multiple Senders” and adding each address individually.
- Select “Send Only” to create a sending address.
Step 3: Add Address
Now you need to add the address where your funds will be sent. Here’s how:
*On Windows:
+ In the configuration menu, click “Add Sender”.
+ Select the address type (e.g. “Address”).
+ Enter the recipient’s Bitcoin wallet or alias and ID.
- MacOS or Linux:
+ Click “Add Sender” on the “Senders” tab.
Step 4: Fill in the details
To complete the process, you will need to fill in some information. This includes:
- Address type (e.g. “Address”).
- The recipient’s Bitcoin wallet or alias and ID.
- Any additional information required by the recipient (e.g. username or email address).
Step 5: Save Changes
Once you have entered all the required 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 sending address with a specific fee (e.g. $10) by selecting the “Paid Only” option.
- If you want to send funds to multiple addresses at once, select “Multiple Senders” and add each address separately.
- Make sure you are using the correct wallet or exchange for the recipient’s account.
By following these steps, you should now have a Bitcoin Core receiving address that can receive payments from your main wallet. Happy sending!
