RE: BlockTrades adds support for Bitcoin Cash

in #blocktrades7 years ago

Congrats! I don’t see why people would care if addresses look the same, I highly doubt that anyone cares if 35 alphanumeric are seemingly similar! So none of the confusion elements makes any sense because when you copy and paste an address for any coin they all look like a line of alphanumerals! Anyway it’s good that you finally added BCH. Bravo

Sort:  

I agree with you, some people did make the mistake in the past where they sent BCH to a BTC or to a Segwit adress. A lot of that has been recovered but some people lost their coins forever.

Although I do have to say if people can not properly transfer their coins they need to educate themselves a little bit more on cryptocurrencies.

It's not the way they look to humans that is the issue. The formats are different so that the software will reject an attempt to send funds to a mismatched address. If you get a BCH deposit address from us and try to send Bitcoin to it, the Bitcoin software will reject it because it's not a valid Bitcoin address.

Exactly! Guys listen to block trades here! It’s a major problem

People do care
As it’s not how they look to us that is the problem. It’s a serious issue
