Title: Invalid bitcoin address? Confused...
Post by: dnaleor on August 20, 2013, 05:05:30 PM
Hi!


I wanted to make a donation to the great CGPGrey (http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2C_jShtL725hvbm1arSV9w)
This is his address: 1CJbCvYGuG6uLBoZBdzq8t1uPSuLFm­xiS9

But when I try to copy it in bitcoin-qt, it doesn't appear in the box.
Also, I get an error when searching it on blockchain.info: https://blockchain.info/nl/search?search=1CJbCvYGuG6uLBoZBdzq8t1uPSuLFm%C2%ADxiS9

Only blockexplorer can find it: http://blockexplorer.com/address/1CJbCvYGuG6uLBoZBdzq8t1uPSuLFmxiS9

any help?

Not sure how this could happen, but never trust your clipboard. It could lead to bad things in Bitcoin ;D

I know, I always double check ;)
