Copy/Paste Issue with Bitcoin Address

Modified on Thu, Jul 31 at 11:09 PM

Paxful cautions that copying and pasting Bitcoin addresses can lead to errors if mistyped, potentially causing failed transfers. Always double-check that the full address is an exact match before proceeding.


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.
