Description
### Problem
Clipboard malware can replace the full BTC address, and users often verify only the beginning and end of the address.
### Suggestion
Highlight not only the start and end, but also a small segment of the middle of the BTC address to improve visual verification.
### Why this helps
- Improves human visual verification
- No protocol changes
- No privacy impact
- Low implementation cost
### Context
Observed in real user support cases when moving BTC from hardware wallets to software wallets.
