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?

This is really the real question, but also who controls that BTC address to which the transactions actually go via Doge address? I check that Doge address and last transaction was on 2020-06-26 some 3 weeks ago.

It seems to me that this is some internal bug, because how else to explain that the wallet accepts something that should be impossible?

Yeah, exactly what i told them must be a bug in the wallet. I use that dogecoin wallet, it is a wallet on a site which i deposit all sorts of different coins, i slected it from a drop down menu which was next to the btc wallet/ address and copied it. I contacted the site of which i use dogecoin and ofcourse they told me no dogecoins were recieved. But that converted btc address, who or where it belongs to i have no idea btc is just sitting there. Also, the site from which i copied dogecoin address uses btc address that start with a 3, the converted one starts with 1 so definetily not landed anywhere there, but Atomic adress does start with a 1...

Oh wow, i just got their reply...
"Thank you for your followup.

I've got a response from our developers team and the issue will be fixed in the next release. Sorry for the inconvenience."

So they admited it is their fault, and all i get is a sorry for the inconvenience, the inconvenience cost me cca 0.1 btc!

I do apologize, i am a bit of a noob at this, but is there any place you think i could submit a complaint and ask for that btc back from them, or is this a lost cause?
