Here is a test wallet, I sent some BTC , then sent it to a Doge address, it went through just like how OP explained, there is 0 relationship between the address Atomic wallet sends btc to and the seed, I tried all different combination like using Doge's PK to magically generate a BTC address, nothing worked, the address they send to is pretty strange

I think I have worked out what they have done... and, if you can get the private key for the DOGE address, I think the BTC could be recoverable!

Doge Address which BTC was sent to:

...
BTC addresss Atomic (magically) sent to:

If we take the DOGE address and Base58Check Decode it:

and if we take the "mystery" BTC address and do the same:

Essentially, Atomic seems to have simply converted the DOGE address from Base58Check to HEX, then stripped off the DOGE "address prefix" (0x1e == "D") and the "checksum bytes", added the BTC address prefix (0x00 == "1") and then recalculated and appended the checksum and then converted from HEX back to Base58Check to end up with a BTC address... Undecided

Basically, if you can get the HEX Doge PK, you can get to the BTC address:

(Using Mikeywith's example)

DOGE PK:

--> HEX PK (using "wallet details" tab on DOGE paperwallet generator (TIP: click "skip" Wink

):

--> BTC (compressed) addy (using bitaddress.org):

So, if OP can get the DOGE website to extract the DOGE private key, they'll be able to recover the full amount of BTC

Thx for this, don't understand a thing about it, lol, but I have forwarded this to the doges add site. If they would be able to help.
