    It would be nice to have bech32 typo detection in both the RPC and GUI. @sipa wrote a demo for this years ago:

    The magic is happening here @sipa Do you have a non obfuscated version of this? The script could be ported to C++ very easily probably

    Now that this issue is gui-only, I've moved it to the GUI repo: https://github.com/bitcoin-core/gui/issues/527.
