Please help! I am very tech challenged and was figuring out multi sig on my own to place an order on a darknet marketplace last night. In the process I prematurely sent $100 of BTC to the compressed version of my address. When I was placing my order, the market asked me to send BTC to the other version of my address. Now my BTC is floating around in space or something, but still at an address associated with my account. Is there a way to retrieve it?
My address (compressed) that I sent it to is:
12X3ZrbDhY3norV3HcQaC5ASsrwipmk1Z
It was supposed to go to the regular address that was generated which is:
1MSfcqR5wbNhqypauTksf6nbWyrEBiRh6
I can give you private and public keys too if you need. Thanks!!
If you have the private key, then the bitcoins can be retreived.
Be
VERY CAREFUL of who you give your private key to. There are
MANY scammers and theives on this forum that will promise to hlep you and convince you they are trustworthy, and will then run off with your $100.
If you are not in a hurry, I might have some time to walk you through the process here in the public forum so you can do it yourself and don't need to rust anyone. In the meantime, there are other very knowledgeable people that may stop by this thread and be able to help you before I have have time. If someone is going to help you, then they should do it in the public forum and not over PM, so that others can warn you if they are asking you to do something that will let them take your bitcoins.
