Something went wrong when adding Bitcoin Cash (BCH) addresses

Opened this issue · 0 comments

I've tried your software recently and I was able to create monitoring wallets for most of the supported currencies, however when I try to add BCH address I get this message "something went wrong"

BCH has a new format called Cash address which looks like this:
bitcoincash:pp8skudq3x5hzw8ew7vzsw8tn4k8wxsqsv0lt0mf3g

Also there is the legacy format similar to Bitcoin format:

I wasn't able to make it work with any format. The legacy address for BCH surprisingly worked for BTC but not for BCH.

More info about the new form in case you want to support it in this address: https://cashaddr.bitcoincash.org
