Yeah, omitting the brackets is what got the message to work. Thanks guys. Edit: Just to confirm:

Topic: Can't seem to create legacy address in Core (Read 178 times)
omit the brackets:
getnewaddress "somelabel" "legacy"
getnewaddress "somelabel" "legacy"
Have you tried Electrum[1]? It's a lightweight wallet that doesn't require you to download the whole blockchain. Just select "Legacy" as wallet type when creating a new wallet. Since it's only for a quick test, it should be enough.
Or if you still want to use Bitcoin Core, you can generate a single legacy address by opening the console (Windows -> Console) and using the following command:
[1] https://electrum.org/#download (the ONLY legit website to download Electrum's wallet. Please double check the URL and verify the file signature if you decide to use it).
Or if you still want to use Bitcoin Core, you can generate a single legacy address by opening the console (Windows -> Console) and using the following command:
Code:
getnewaddress("label of your address" "legacy")
[1] https://electrum.org/#download (the ONLY legit website to download Electrum's wallet. Please double check the URL and verify the file signature if you decide to use it).
Thank you I did not know this.
Did you run that command on Core or Electrum? 
I just tried the following...
Seems to work fine...

I just tried the code and I get an invalid syntax error. I'm testing Core's message signing option to see if it works without needing to download the whole chain(related to one of the previous thread I posted in).

How do I get a legacy address for Bitcoin Core? I only need one for testing the signing and verification optionns and external one like blockchain.info don't work.
