X enhancement: highlight start/middle/end segment of BTC address for visual verification #293

Description

@matheymatias

Problem

Clipboard malware can replace the full BTC address, and users often verify only the beginning and end of the address.

Suggestion

Highlight not only the start and end, but also a small segment of the middle of the BTC address to improve visual verification.

Why this helps

  • Improves human visual verification
  • No protocol changes
  • No privacy impact
  • Low implementation cost

Context

Observed in real user support cases when moving BTC from hardware wallets to software wallets.
