Well, I guess it was bound to happen sooner or later. I was trying to send some btc to a newly generated address so that I could memorize the private key, and then have my BTC in my brain. My clients copy paste function wasn't working correctly, so I decided to type the address in manually. I was lazy, so I didn't double check the address. at least it was only .25 BTC. Just thought I'd share my story with you guys. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Moral: If you ever manually type an address, double check it.

Seriously unlucky because the way the adresses are generated, means that a random error being valid is VERY, VERY, VERY unlikely.
Even if you mashup 2 adresses at a random point, this is unlikely. You have a ungodly amount of bad luck...

Silly me. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Wait a second. Just figured something out. I'm absolutely sure I typed in that last part correct now that I think back. I remember typing in 9CJh at the end. I think I messed up where the "e" is supposed to be a "w" and my client must've tried to correct it! I'm using the electrum client. I'll talk to the developer about this.

Neither of those addresses are valid according to my bitcoind: $ bitcoind validateaddress 1AYSPTVt8WytG12Kz9guUpXjwAMFZG9CJh { "isvalid" : false } $ bitcoind validateaddress 1AYSPTVt8WytG12Kz9guUpXjeAMFb7AX2K { "isvalid" : false }
The checksum in addresses is 4 bytes, so there is a one-in-four-billion chance that a random typo would get you a valid address.

How often do you get the chance to work on a potentially world-changing project?
