Watch out
- Exchanges usually share one XRP address between many customers and tell them apart by the destination tag. If the recipient gave a tag, it has to be entered.
- This is one of the special addresses in the XRP Ledger docs (ACCOUNT_ZERO / ACCOUNT_ONE). No one holds its key; coins sent there are not expected to move.
