Hi everyone,
I'm writing here because I didn't find any resources in the docs or
somewhere else online explaining this, I don't get if this is a bug or
I'm missing something.
I was working on a function to derive the pay-to-script-hash from a
multisig script and I was checking the results against the bitcoin
core's `addmultisigaddress` output, although I was quite sure that my
implementation was correct, my output address was different.
By chance, I then tried the `createmultisigaddress` method, using the
same public keys, and this time the output was matching with mine.
I thought the outputs of `addmultisigaddress` and
`createmultisigaddress` were supposed to be the same, but instead are
inconsistent from each other:
```
bitcoin-cli addmultisigaddress 1

```
I was also pretty confused by the fact that the `redeemScript` is the
same, only the addresses are different, and calling `decodescript` with
it I get the same address as `createmultisig`:
```
bitcoin-cli decodescript

I don't understand, how can this be possible?

Hi Michele,
You are seeing this discrepancy due to the address types in use. addmultisigaddress uses the default address type of the wallet, which is p2sh-segwit. createmultisig uses a default address type of legacy. To have createmultisig get addmultisigaddress's result, you need to add the string "p2sh-segwit" to the end of your command. To have addmultisigaddress get createmultisig's result, you need to add the string "legacy" to the end of your command.
