I call bullshit on this, no offense but you can't send from a wallet to a different coin address, your wallet will reject it before even submitting it
that is exactly not the case. Btc-s
adresses beginn with a '1' same as btc
adresses do and it is possible to
loose coins in this way since same
adresses exist in both networks. Your client doesn't reject it.
Reddcoin and
redcoinadresses also
beginn with an 'R' each so same
adresses exist in those networks.
Go try it out yourself if you don't believe me.
edit:
i think there is potential to
loose a large amount of coins with just a little bit of
innatention. also
i am not a stupid guy and also not particularly negligently so i think this mistake could happen to a lot of people with a lot of coins over time.
