Risk of sending BTC to BCH address

Fri Sep 28, 2018 8:49 pm

If I choose a BTC wallet and klick "Send", and then scan a BCH QR code (even a BCH CashAddress), then the Bitcoin.com wallet seems happy to be sending BTC to that BCH address. I would imagine that it is an easy software fix to warn people if they are about to send BTC payments to a BCH address, at least if it's a CashAddress starting with a q? Especially for newbies, we want there to be as few opportunities for mistakes as possible.
