Cryptocurrency discussions / Re: Be cautious when copying wallet addresses
« Last post by Litzki1990 on Today at 04:02:39 AM »I never knew this was possible so usually just copy the address and send without confirming much. Well turns out that was a big mistake on my part. Never knew that clipboard can do such. I don't know if it's a malware, I ended up using an address that wasn't mine and funny holds some units of Bitcoin.Your wallet address is very important and before sending your wallet address to anywhere, be sure to double check that you have copied the correct address. If you are in too much hurry while copying the address and in too much hurry if you copy wrong address and submit wrong address then your payment or your money will never reach your wallet. One should never be too hasty while copying the wallet address. It doesn't take much time to copy a wallet address and it doesn't take much time to match that address with the wallet so we must be careful that we don't make mistakes while copying the wallet address.
Still confused how something like this could happen, but try to be cautious and don't feel too lazy to cross check your address before sending or posting. Recall Bitcoin transactions are irreversible after 6 confirmations, once confirmed it's gone. You can tell the wallet address it went to but not the owner. Except they are careless, which I doubt they are.
