Hello it seems in 2022 that -getnewaddress is no longer supported in powershell, can anyone tell me what the fix for this is? @ivan @filip

you need to create new wallet first
bitcoin-cli --regtest createwallet "wallet_name"

Thank you. Glad I found your post by searching. Since I am completely new to coding, didn’t know how to “load” the wallet.
Thanks for the advice. It finally worked! I got an error message, that it failed to create new database, and that database already exists. But I then repeated the command getnewaddress, and this time it worked, and I got a new address. I do not know why the error message was shown, when I entered bitcoin-cli --regtest createwallet “wallet_name”. Anyway, the address finally was made!
By the way, it looks like you put 2 hyphens before regtest, but there should only be 1 hyphen, -regtest
Worked for only with the following commands:
./bitcoin-cli createwallet “wallet_name”
./bitcoin-cli -rpcwallet=“wallet_name” getnewaddress

I am trying to generate a new address in regtest and have tried many variations of input without success.

You already have a wallet with that name

Previous versions of bitcoin client, didn’t had this feature. . . later this got added! to define a specific wallet name. . which does help for advance programming.!
Hi there,
I tried to instal Bitcoin Core, but I get
Error: Unable to open settings file C:\Users\Dejen\settings.json.tmp for writing.
But when I go to Daemon and open bitcoind it works.
Can somebody tell me why it’s giving me an error and how I can instal Bitcoin Core?
Thanks
I’ve never seen this error during installation. Are you sure you downloaded a legit client?

Hi!
I’ve download .dmg from Bitcoin core:
but the file bitcoind is disappearing after closing the program.
Then I installed bitcoin with home-brew:
It seems here all programs like in Windows (and in video course).
Could somebody explain me why they are different?
Which one is true?
