Even if he say checking 5 times before sending,only one character wrong and this is not identical address.

So, they either entered the Bitcoin address incorrectly (although I'm not even sure what the odds of generating a valid address when mistyping an address are? Huh)...


According to the bitcoin wiki the chances of a misstyped address being valid is 1 in 232 or 1 in 4.29 billion.





Although, using the "Signed Message" option, you can start typing an address and it shows the partial matches. ("Settings -> Tools -> Sign Message", click the "Address" box and type the first couple of characters of the address).

OP mentioned the address does not show up under the signing tool  Undecided

  • Does the address show up under 'Options' -> 'Tools' -> 'Sign message' from the drop-down menu?
No
