We're developing something to reduce human error in crypto transactions, especially those in which some mistake was made when writing the receiver address.
Can you guys help us have a greater perception on the user side?


  • Did it happen to you?
  • How comfortable are you every time you transfer to a remote address?
  • Would you be more comfortable using a helper?
  • What do you use today to mitigate this risk?


Thanks

The good thing is that i never sent bitcoin to the wrong address. However, i have heard many people sending bitcoin to wrong addresses. Sometimes it happens because of human mistake but at other times there is a malware du to which the bitcoin send to the wrong address.
The simple way to avoid this mistake, is to double check the sender address after pasting it in the wallet withdrawal window.
