   Those look like testnet addresses. If you want to start with a different test chain or the main chain, you’ll have to select the correct chain.

   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, or one of the Bitcoin subreddits, or any other place that you feel is well suited.
