Problem
Clipboard malware can replace the full BTC address, and users often verify only the beginning and end of the address.
Suggestion
Highlight not only the start and end, but also a small segment of the middle of the BTC address to improve visual verification.
Why this helps
- Improves human visual verification
- No protocol changes
- No privacy impact
- Low implementation cost
Context
Observed in real user support cases when moving BTC from hardware wallets to software wallets.
