    It will give them an error when they try to send to it.

    Part of the string is a checksum for the actual address. Not mathematically possible to just typo 1 character and get a valid address.

    Yes, don't worry.

    It will give an error when they try to send. It wont even have to 'come back'.

    Even with copy and paste, and even with a cross checking system in place, sooner or later everyone sends crypto to a bad address (or, in my case, a bad tag; I sent Litecoin to a proper address, but with an improper tag: it was late, I was tired....).

    The first time it's terrifying. You're asking yourself, "Holy F*ck, did I just lose $[X]k"? So I think it's nice for people to learn BEFORE it happens that, "don't panic; you haven't just zorked your crypto out of existence."

    If paste doesn't work, try paste, key a space at the end, then a back space. Might work.

    copy paste with phones, tablets can be the worst experience even if you can figure out how to slide and grab what you want. yuk

    something about the good old workstation and a mouse and that Right click feature. hope that never goes away
