Bitcoin automatically diverted to bech32 address












6















I sent bitcoin to an address starting 3Cn using Electrum but the blockchain viewers seem to show that it has gone to an address beginning bc1 as shown in the link below.



Transaction Viewer



How can this happen? Is there a way I can recover the funds?

          • Your links have reminded me that Electrum did in fact ask me to update it in order to complete the transaction. Thanks for pointing this out.
