Copay bitcoin address examples
Many services and wallet providers in the Bitcoin Cash ecosystem are moving to adopt this format. We are joining them. The new release 3. This address format protects Bitcoin Cash wallet users from mistaken payments to BTC addresses, just like the format we were using before. We also expect most Bitcoin Cash wallets and exchanges to adopt the Cashaddr format in the coming months.
This change will bring greater compatibility with the Bitcoin Cash ecosystem, along with more security against the risk of mistaken payments to Bitcoin addresses. Big thanks to the BitcoinABC team for working on this improved address format! Thanks for sharing your feature requests and bug reports for the BitPay app! If you spot any issues in your own use of the app, please report them on our BitPay and Copay issues page.
To stop that from happening, we adopted new format conventions for addresses: This does not mean you cannot send your Bitcoin Cash into your Copay wallet. What you have to do is to translate your BCH address from Exodus into the format that Copay will understand. Here is a tool which does the conversion for you:. As soon as you do, a "Translation" address appears. Merely cut and paste the resulting translation address into Copay, and you can then transfer your assets into Exodus.
Now a word of caution. Using this tool does incur a small amount of risk. For example, if the site is ever hacked, the resulting address you get back could lead to a hacker's wallet.
Another possibility is that you could make a mistake and copy the resulting address wrong. In either case, we highly recommend that you test the "Translation address" with very small amounts of BCH. That way, you can be sure that if you receive the funds from your small test transaction, you can then proceed to send a larger amount. If you make a mistake, we at Exodus cannot be held liable for it--it's all on you.
