Post Body

Upgraded to 1.1.5 for the mac, everything worked great.

Noticed that when you are entering a refund address, the code doesn't check whether or not the address is a real one. You might be asking, "why not copy/paste?"

Granted - but if you are using a wallet on one computer, totally isolated from the computer running OB - then you might find yourself in a position where you are manually entering the address.

Since btc addresses are checksum'ed, you might think that the code is double checking this. It is not. I entered an address, then changed the last character - it was accepted.

Just FYI
