do we need to receive bitcoin at one address first before a new one is created
I already have that "Multiple Addresses" setting enabled
Wallets with numeric first character is a Legacy address, original bitcoin address.
The alpha first character is segwit, segregated witness. Its the newer wallet which is supposed to be faster and cheaper.
You cannot received bitcoin from a legacy wallet if your wallet does not offer that format. When a site says the bitcoin address is not valid it is almost in need of a legacy wallet address.
If you toggle off the multiple addresses, you will see your fixed addresses, both legacy and segwit via the small arrows to left and right of QRC. When it is enabled, everytime you open it there will be a different address
