Bisq: Error adding XMR Altcoin account: Address is not a valid XMR address! invalid address prefix 13

Created on 11 Sep 2019  路  7Comments  路  Source: bisq-network/bisq

Huey in the BISQ Forum recommended I escalate this issue/error. I am trying to add an altcoin account, XMR, and am using a valid address but it is screening it out due to thinking it starts with a 13.

"Address is not a valid XMR address! invalid address prefix 13"

Thanks for any help and sorry if this is in the wrong place, I'm new here,

Thanks for your bug report!

  • Could you please state your Bisq version?
  • Could you please paste your XMR address as text?
  • Does it happen repeatedly for this address or is it a one-time glitch / race condition?

Version 1.1.5

or I also tried (4GdoN7NCTi8a5gZug7PrwZNKjvHFmKeV11L6pNJPgj5QNEHsN6eeX3DaAQFwZ1ufD4LYCZKArktt113W7QjWvQ7CW82yHFEGvSG3NJRNtH)
Happens every time I try it.

Thanks battleofwizards

I can confirm the issue.

Both of your addresses are accepted by Monero GUI but not accepted by Bisq.

@ripcurlx That might be worth to try to get into the release.
Buggy validation is a pain....

@xiphon Could you have a look at the Monero validation?

Address validation in Bisq does not support the so called integrated addresses.

As a temporary workaround please use a subaddress.

As a sidenote, in Monero subaddresses are recommended over integrated addresses (but we definitely should support both).

I will submit a fix very soon. Stay tuned.
