BitPay / Copay's Weird Bitcoin Cash Address Format My CoPay wallet shows my Bitcoin Cash address as CTGUTUgVAwHugpf4CyyjAvj8DCFkE4tpEq. What's going on? I thought both Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash addresses start with 1 or 3?
It's a new address format for Bitcoin Cash proposed by BitPay, to prevent BTC/BCC address confusion. It's not widely used, currently.


The old addresses that start with 1 (P2PKH) are converted to addresses that start with C
The old addresses that start with 3 (P2SH) are converted to addresses that start with H


You can use this "address translator" to translate the addresses: https://bitpay.github.io/address-translator/
