Lower if you throw out substitutions that seem unlikely. Two or more characters would increase this quickly. Still, Bitcoin addresses are not designed to recover lost data. It'd be safer if you could just get the correct address from the source. | |
| Jul 1, 2014 at 16:04 | comment | added | Nate Eldredge | This is risky. There might be more than one way to "fix" the address, and you might get the wrong one. In that case, you might send coins to the wrong address, and if you do they are lost forever. You should instead talk to whoever gave you the address and ask them to correct it. | |
