Not good enough, scammers will make copycat look-alike addresses that have the same first ~7 and last ~7 characters.

I doubt that would help much. People should clear their clipboard, and copy & paste, then double check the whole thing, or at least the first and last few characters.

What does this mean in practice though? If you need to be certain, make sure you copy the right address.
