I generated testnet address bchtest:qp72ygjyztvesmw4gcftjqwrpgz2zhqdpurtfuf05d with Bitbox and sent a transaction, but when I look up the transaction using BitDb, it says I used the address qp72ygjyztvesmw4gcftjqwrpgz2zhqdpu8edmtcn3 - they're the same except for the last several bytes.

I've created a repo with code and instructions to reproduce what I'm seeing at https://github.com/devalbo/issue-bitbox-address .

Those bytes that are different are part of the checksum of the address.

I believe this is a difference between the simpleledger: prefix and the bitcoincash: prefix. Where you working with tokens, or just BCH?

I was using testnet BCH - does the checksum care about which network the coin is for?
