Topic: How to stay with legacy address format? - page 2. (Read 1771 times)
Just don't create a Segwit address. Bitcoin is still the same as before, thus you are not required to use a Segwit supported wallet. The "legacy address" still coexists with the new Segwit format just like a multi-signature address can be used today.
I would like to send and recieve coins only in the legacy format (1xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx type) and not the segwit format. How do I guarantee that none of my coins will be sitting on segwit coinbases? (I think its called coinbase, I mean in a segwit format transaction, you know what I mean right?)
I have nothing against segwit, I think its safe, but im the most paranoid man alive in the bitcoin game, so please let me know how to stay in the time-tested legacy format, because I dont see "create segwit format address" or anything that differentiates between legacy and segwit format so its strange.
