Some alt coins don't even bother making address validation, which is very irresponsible.

Users can easily send coins to a wrong chain, causing big trouble or even total loss. Case in point:

Bitcoin -- BTE  -- TRC

Why including BTE on your list? You can't send BTE to a BTC (or any other) block chain address.

Are you positive on this? I am surprised.

Bytecoin addresses start with 8.
