Here's an example of a transaction where someone accidentally transferred his hotspot to another hotspot's address rather than a wallet address: https://explorer.helium.com/txns/hVx0pKhls1xXH-SYNbi_Xq1iD--gpLXwkpiPNEj1mfw
He intended to transfer his hotspot, Calm Maroon Aardvark, to:
13mC5rTagYmdBZwP58YsL6N6rxjCyxwEAmCaBm4Z1ExftS2vQQx
But instead, he inadvertently transferred it to the b58 address of the hotspot owned by that wallet, Perfect Punch Canary:
11wfsq5dLLX9XZYoP51xtYv4jfqGWxeS8GaqzzVJ11MXuBN2o6v
So now, 'Perfect Punch Canary' is also a wallet address that owns Calm Maroon Aardvark, with no means to regain access to the Perfect Punch Canary hotspot.
When the keyboard is collapsed, the green checkmark goes away, and it says it's an invalid wallet address. This was apparently fixed in v.3.11.0, so I'm closing this issue.
Describe the bug I've seen numerous reports of people accidentally transferring their hotspot to another hotspot's address rather than a wallet address, apparently resulting in it becoming permanently inaccessible.
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Expected behavior Some kind of error should appear instructing the user that the address they entered is not a wallet address, and they should not be allowed to proceed with the transaction.
