Ethereum: Creating a New Ethereum Address in Electrum

For those new to Ethereum and Electrum, it is essential to understand how to create a new address to manage your funds. However, if you are having difficulty with it, the process can seem challenging. In this article, we will walk you through the steps to create a new Ethereum address using Electrum.

Step 1: Launch Electrum

First, make sure you have Electrum launched on your computer and are connected to the Ethereum network. If you are still unsure about how to launch Electrum, check out our previous articles for more information.

Step 2: Go to the Addresses Tab in Electrum

Once Electrum is launched, navigate to the Addresses tab by clicking on the “Addresses” tab at the top of the window or by pressing Ctrl + A (Windows/Linux) or Cmd + A (Mac).

Step 3: Find the New Address Button

Under the Addresses tab, you will see a list of available addresses. However, there is no button labeled “New Address”. This may seem confusing at first, but it is probably due to Electrum’s design.

Step 4: Access the Console and Create a New Address

To create a new address in the Console, follow these steps:

• Click on the “Console” tab at the top of the window.

** In the Console box, type create() and press Enter.

• This will initiate a transaction to create a new address.

Step 5: Test your new address

After creating a new address using the create() command in the Console, you will be prompted for confirmation. If Electrum is able to generate a unique address, it should display your new address at the top of the Console tab.

If you have followed these steps and are still having problems generating a new Ethereum address, there may be an underlying issue with your Electrum installation or Ethereum network connection.
