Copay Recovery Tool error: "Could not build tx: TypeError: Address has mismatched network type." #7197

Closed tab00 closed 6 years ago

tab00 commented 6 years ago

My original bitcoin wallet is an old BIP45 wallet, so the app could not automatically duplicate the BCH into a new wallet.

The BCH balance shown is correct, so the recovery tool scan was successful.

After the scan I get the above "Address has mismatched network type" error when attempting transfer of the BCH.

The destination address was from a newly created ordinary livenet BCH wallet in Copay version 3.8.6.

Please fix the problem so that I can transfer the funds from the scan into the new BCH wallet.

Thank you.

So what are we meant to enter in the Destination Address field of the recovery tool?

Simply copying the address from a Copay BCH wallet and pasting it into the Destination Address field doesn't work (when intuitively it should), so after reading that page I added the prefix "bitcoincash:" to the address but then the error message "Please enter a valid address." appears after pressing the Transfer button.
