I need to generate testnet "style"addresses in multichain

Question

I have been running multichain in both scenarios with testnet=false , and other with testnet=true , but in both cases multichain generates addresses like the mainnet style( starts with"1") and I want to generate testnet style address that usually begins with "m" . for instance

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

The testnet setting is just for backwards compatibility and affects only the flag output by various API calls. To use testnet-style addresses, set the blockchain parameters to match the information listed here:

Specifically, you want the values:

address-pubkeyhash-version=6F
address-scripthash-version=C4
private-key-version=EF
address-checksum-value=00000000
