If we're afraid of memory corruption then we need to add error check for the amount of money sent and for the fee, don't we?

Sure. Unfortunately it's not possible. But that's not a valid reason to skip address verification.

As I said before, the fact that you can die from a heart attack on an airplane, doesn't mean we now don't have to worry about engine safety.

Plus, if the amount is corrupted then the address will probably be corrupted too and if there is a check for it, such transaction will be rejected.

NxChg, I completely agree with you about address verification.

Money can easily be lost with NXT by sending to the wrong address.

I think this currency could "go viral" with little need for marketing if we can demonstrate we can address underlying issues quickly and intelligently. To me, this appears to be a glaring issue. I have a hard time introducing NXT to people until we have reliable error detection so people don't send money to a bad address. I would love to setup friends and family with some NXT but I don't feel comfortable yet. This may be a more difficult change to implement and get right but it is critical and a higher priority than anything else I can think of.
