Create a non-SegWit address in electrum wallet I am trying to get along the electrum wallet command line in ubuntu. However, my exchange only accepts withdraws to canonical non-SegWit addresses (i.e. it only generates with a &quot;bc1&quot; prefix). Is there a way to specifically specify such an option when typing electrum createnewaddress?
I don't see any arguments in https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/blob/b2be29b508deb310631cacfb51bb1561bce75ff9/electrum/commands.py#L795 to specify the address type similar to address_type used in Bitcoin Core's getnewaddress

As sipa also mentioned in the comments, &quot;bc1&quot; prefix is used for segwit addresses

I think Electrum uses the default address type of wallet for creating new address which is decided while creating new wallet. So you can resolve this issue by creating a new wallet and select appropriate address type.
