Description
The current sending confirmation displays the recipient's address in a single font style. To enhance the usability of the wallet, I'm proposing an enhancement to distinguish the first 16 characters of the recipient's address. The enhancement shouldn't significantly change the overall workflow and complexity of the sending process.
Proposed Changes
The first 16 characters of the recipient's address will be displayed in a bold or different colored font, making them more distinct from the remaining characters. The full address will still be displayed, but an added focus will be applied to the first 16 characters to help users verify the recipient's address.
Rationale
According to my research, the probability of two valid Monero addresses sharing the same first 16 characters is extremely low. If comparing the first 16 characters of each address is reasonably secure, then this should provide a good balance between security and usability. This enhancement can prevent potential mistakes like copy and pasting errors or detecting malicious clipboard attacks.
