<p>What I found out:</p>

<p>NXT has 24 characters (example: <code>NXT-MT4P-AHG4-A4NA-CCMM2</code>), only 20 without the static hyphens, only 17 without the static "NXT" in the beginning.</p>

<p>Lisk has 21 characters (example: <code>16118128613908223361L</code>), only 20 without the static 'L' in the end.</p>

Why don't you take a look at those coins addresses? If you are looking for someone to do that for you, so I think this should not be the best place to ask.
