What is legacy address in Bitcoin core?
A legacy address in Bitcoin core refers to the original Bitcoin address format, also known as a P2PKH (Pay-to-Public-Key-Hash) address. These addresses start with a '1' and were introduced in the early days of Bitcoin. They are derived from a user's public key and are used to receive Bitcoin transactions.
