NAME
lightning-newaddr - Command for generating a new address to be used by c-lightning

SYNOPSIS
newaddr [ addresstype ]

DESCRIPTION
The newaddr RPC command generates a new address which can subsequently be used to fund channels managed by the c-lightning node. The funding transaction needs to be confirmed before funds can be used. addresstype specifies the type of address wanted; i.e. p2sh-segwit (e.g. 2MxaozoqWwiUcuD9KKgUSrLFDafLqimT9Ta on bitcoin testnet or 3MZxzq3jBSKNQ2e7dzneo9hy4FvNzmMmt3 on bitcoin mainnet) or bech32 ' (e.g. tb1qu9j4lg5f9rgjyfhvfd905vw46eg39czmktxqgg on bitcoin testnet or bc1qwqdg6squsna38e46795at95yu9atm8azzmyvckulcc7kytlcckxswvvzej on bitcoin mainnet). The special value 'all generates both address types for the same underlying key. If not specified the address generated is bech32.

On success, a bech32 address and/or a p2sh-segwit address will be returned.

ERRORS
If an unrecognized address type is requested an error message will be returned.
