Topic: How do you import a P2PK address into Bitcoin Core (Read 109 times)
Thank you very much. I was unaware of the bitcoin core importing all address types associated with the private keys although I guess in hindsight it only makes senses. Either way you feedback was much appreciated.
I assume you're talking about P2PKH, not P2PK.
Go to Window>Console, and type in this:
If it is encrypted,
Core automatically generates (and imports) all 3 main address type (P2PKH, P2WPKH, P2SH-P2WPKH) during importing.
Go to Window>Console, and type in this:
Code:
importprivkey LPRIVATEKEY
If it is encrypted,
Code:
walletpassphrase PASSWORD 600
Core automatically generates (and imports) all 3 main address type (P2PKH, P2WPKH, P2SH-P2WPKH) during importing.
I know that importprivkey is the way to import keys, but how do you specify that the address format you want is P2PKH? As far as I understand things, P2PKH is the only address format supported that you can sign messages with that has a standardized signature cross platform.
