how to support Native SegWit (Bech32) address #22259

coininn-exchange commented at 1:26 PM on June 16, 2021: none

I run the bitcoin node version is 0.17.1, and now we want to support the Native SegWit (Bech32) format, how do I need to upgrade the node or redeploy a new node, or what method can I use to convert the Nested SegWit (P2SH) format to Bech32 address

Usually the issue tracker is used to track technical issues related to the Bitcoin Core code base. General bitcoin questions and/or support requests are best directed to the Bitcoin StackExchange or the #bitcoin IRC channel on Libera Chat.

Nonetheless some notes:

The Bitcoin Core major version 0.17.x is officially no longer supported. See https://bitcoincore.org/en/lifecycle/#schedule . It is recommended to read the release notes of newer versions, test them in a test deployment and then move production to supported versions.
"Converting" nested addresses to native ones is not supported either. It is recommended to ask the wallet to generate native addresses for you. I don't know how you produce addresses, but if you use getnewaddress, then https://bitcoincore.org/en/doc/0.21.0/rpc/wallet/getnewaddress/ is the documentation.

If you read my reply, you would have realized that I told you that getnewaddress can do that. https://bitcoincore.org/en/doc/0.21.0/rpc/wallet/getnewaddress/
