No.

Why Coinbase? What do they have to do with this?

The unknown address is a "change" address in your wallet. That's how a Bitcoin transaction works. It is a lot like paying $5 when you only have a $20 bill. The transaction sends the extra to a new address in your wallet.


If you were expecting 23,700 ADA, then again, that is how a transaction works.


The Trezor confirms that everything worked as intended.

Hi,

Earlier this afternoon I decided to use Coinswitch to convert 0.1 BTC into ADA. I have a Trezor. I connected with Coinswitch, they searched and came back with Bittrex as best exchange. I duly authorised 0.1 BTC to be sent to the address advised.
The following are the texts of two emails that I sent to Coinbase after the process finished:



Regarding the above order Id, the transaction was for 0.1 BTC to an ADA wallet.

However the Blockchain Visualise shows Origin 0.99951905 BTC to two addresses.
1. 32mxdBnzYYf6FQ5Jfgf2bz2AZ3uuu28eF1  -amount = 0.89951905 BTC
2. 38TvEyicTYNq59mNr3CHkhB2vRAzkWpnQs - ammount = 0.1 BTC
The second address was where I sent 0.1 BTC !!!

The Cardano Explorer site shows: a Total Output of 7,377,801.178758 ADA

My ADA wallet has received 23,700 A

My Trezor wallet is currently showing an outgoing transaction:
Today 4.29 pm
38TvEyicTYNq59mNr3CHkhB2vRAzkWpnQs
Amount: -0.10048095

...and I presume that the Trezor is indeed indicating what took place!

Could you comment on what took place please.

and the second email:

The Blockchain website is indicating the following information:

Unconfirmed Transaction (in red) which can be clicked on but I will not do for 0.99951905 BTC

Two addresses:
32mxdBnzYYf6FQ5Jfgf2bz2AZ3uuu28eF1 receiving 0.89951905 BTC
38TvEyicTYNq59mNr3CHkhB2vRAzkWpnQs receiving 0.1 BTC

Total Input: 1 BTC
Total Output: 0.99951905 BTC
Fee: 0.00048095 BTC
...and critically:
Estimated BTC transacted: 0.1 BTC  !!!!!!!!!!!!

What on earth is this all about?

Has something happened and is my Trezor actually indicating truely.

I am new to this but now puzzled so would like feedback from experienced folk.

Thanks
