A Bitcoin Core receiving address is a unique identifier that allows you to receive bitcoin payments in your Bitcoin Core wallet. This address is generated from your wallet\“s public key and serves as the destination for incoming transactions.

When using Bitcoin Core, you can generate new receiving addresses through the wallet interface. Each address should ideally be used only once for better privacy and security. The receiving address typically starts with 1, 3, or bc1 depending on the address type.

To share your Bitcoin Core receiving address with someone who wants to send you bitcoin, simply copy the address from your wallet and provide it to the sender. Always double-check the address before sharing to ensure accuracy.

Bitcoin Core receiving addresses are case-sensitive and should be copied exactly as shown in your wallet. Any mistake in the address could result in permanent loss of funds.
