Possible to send to Bitcoin addresses

[mctrivia]

DigiByte has 3 address formats.
2x Base58 addresses starting with D and S and 1 bech32 format starting with dgb1

The wallet though also currently also allows sending to Base58 addresses starting with 3. This should be blocked to prevent accidental sending to Bitcoin addresses.

I know addresses starting with 3 use to exist but they where all remapped to addresses starting with S when the header was changed and the private keys still all work with the new address. On the rare unlikely chance someone has a paper wallet with the address starting with 3 printed on it any wallet that supports sweeping will still be able to sweep the funds out irregardless of the address header and the proper new address can still easily be calculated by replacing the header and recompiling the checksum. https://chainz.cryptoid.info/dgb/ even does this automatically if you enter one of these addresses.

@idanzam go ahead and try it. Here is a random Bitcoin address I picked from a recent block

send a small amount of DigiByte to this address. Core wallet should not let you do it because it is an invalid DigiByte address but because of this bug it will. The funds will show up in

which is a valid DigiByte address.
