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.
I'd say it's their fault. I've tried to paste a dogecoin in Exodus and Electrum, and they both gave an error. It obviously should, since it doesn't have the same format to start with.
I'm a bit curious on how the address changed to a bitcoin one though. Do you mind posting both the dogecoin address and the btc address atomicwallet changed it to?
Both times it was sent to this dogecoin address D7ZDkK9RNyKDiDE7GobhKWNsTt3rHKGm3e via Atomi wallets btc. I asked them to try it out, if there is anyone out there that is willing to try it out, just send min amount of btc to that dogecoin addres vis Atomic wallet, it not only accepts it, it converts it to this btc address 13R8D4Cn5ZQwBD3WYDc8mkDGakKYxZcpwb. Insane... And thx for the reply.
