question about wallet address conversion

0

i just recently added a new wallet that can accept bitcoin SV but its address starts with a "q". is there any tools on the internet that can convert that q prefix address to a 1 prefix address much like the cashaddr for bitcoin cash?

Cashaddress is the one with the q prefix not the one with the 1 prefix. The 1 prefix address (legacy address) often leads to funds losses as people mix it up with a bitcoin address. Bitcoin cash, being the shitcoin that it is, didn't create a new address format from the start but instead continued to use legacy ones for a long time. Later they realized their mistake and created the cashaddress. It is better if you use the q address.
