Wallet address same as bitcoin address?

[bennylava]

As we all know you will lose your coins if you send them to the wrong address. I just downloaded the Safex wallet, and I am of course wanting to transfer my safex coins to my desktop wallet. However, there doesn’t appear to be any difference between the safex address, and the bitcoin address. Are they the same? I clicked “Receive” and it still lists bitcoin in the same panel as the receiving address that I was given Along with safex. Does this mean that a safex wallet address, is also the bitcoin address? I’m confused.

Recieving SAFEX coin

Newbie question - do I understand correctly that the SAFEX is using the same kind of public and private keys as Bitcoin? i.e. if I were to generate a public & private keypair for Bitcoin at bitaddress, but instead of using it to store BTC, I can use it to store SAFEX coins ? Thanks!

Are they the same?

Yes, both Bitcoin and safex use the same addresses.

Si! compañero! ayer me pasó lo mismo ami! quería enviar bitcoins a la cartera safex y si, a esa misma dirección puedes enviar bitcoins y safex y ella lo reconoce y te lo separa!

Got another question. Does anybody know how to safely update the wallet? I imagine that in the future, the wallet will be getting revisions and become better. What is the best way to update it?
