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!!
DON'T EVER give anyone your private key because that's all they need to steal your Bitcoins.
A search of this block explorer
https://blockchain.info/ shows both the addresses you posted are not valid Bitcoin addresses. That block explorer showed "unrecognized search pattern" for a search of both your addresses. If they were valid, but unused, it would have showed them as empty recognised Bitcoin addresses.
Are you sure you didn't make any mistakes when copying those addresses into this thread?
Another explorer called
https://live.blockcypher.com/ confirms those addresses are invalid. These quotes are the results of a search for those addresses in it.
Sorry, '1MSfcqR5wbNhqypauTksf6nbWyrEBiRh6' is not a valid BTC address
Sorry, '12X3ZrbDhY3norV3HcQaC5ASsrwipmk1Z' is not a valid BTC address
