Hello there, so i have recently sent some btc cca 0.1 via Atomic wallet, i have seen it was sent to a btc address unkown to me so i started doing some research to where i sent those btc. I have found out that i have had a dogecoin address copied in my clipboard and not a btc address. So to find out if that really happened i copied the same dogecoin address and tried sending a small btc amout to test if it would happen again, and it did. So, if you send btc to dogecoin address in Atomic wallet it actualy accepts it, and not only that, it converts the address to a btc address, have tried it twice with the same address, sent to same dogecoin, converted to the same btc address, crazy..

I know i made a mistake by copying dogecoin address and sent it via btc in my atomic wallet, but how come it accepted it, since every other coins address you put in it says invalid address. I contacted Atomic wallet support to point out the problem, but it looks like my coins are lost.

I would like you opinions on this crazy issue, again, i know it was my mistake in the first place, but Atomic wallet actualy accepts dogecoin address if you sent it via btc, never seen that happen in any other wallet, since it says invalid address on every other coin you try to send via btc.

So, just my fault? Atomic wallet's fault? 50/50 fault? Any possible recovery of sent btc? Should Atomic wallet refund me since it actualy accepts dogecoin address via btc sending?

Thx for your opinions.
