Copy/Paste Issue with Bitcoin Address

Modified on Thu, Jul 24 at 11:49 PM

Paxful warns that mistyped BTC addresses from copy‑paste can fail transfers—always verify the entire address matches exactly.


Sometimes there's a copy and paste issue with a Bitcoin address. Here's what you should do if you happen to have this problem:


  1. Check if a malicious browser extension or some other malicious software is installed on the user's computer that monitors the clipboard for Bitcoin addresses and replaces them.
  2. Carefully scan your browser for extensions and your PC with an anti-malware tool.
