sendtoaddress command doesn't work with bech32 bitcoin core 0.17

Question

I have bitcoin-core 0.17 working on regtest mode and when I try to send to a bech32 testnet address I get invalid address

I have set addresstype=bech32 on my bitcoin.conf

Answer 1

It sounds like you are using the wrong address type for the network that you are on. Regtest bech32 addresses begin with "bcrt".
