Re: Have you ever accidentally send Bitcoin to the wrong person?
Have you ever accidentally send Bitcoin to the wrong person? Or sent the wrong amount?
I did. Like a fool. Last night I was playing around with it and falling asleep at the same time.
I tried to upload 17 bitcoins to Mt.Gox... but I went to my addressbook and saw one unlabeled address. Thinking, oh that must be the new address just created, I'll use that one... I sent it to that address. Of course, instantly I remembered that it creates new addressed when RECEIVING money, not when sending it. Duhhh. I went back to Mt.Gox and it just has a box to enter the amount. Only AFTER you submit that, then it tells you the address to send it to.
Oh well. One of my contacts received a surprise of 17 BTN last night. Paying it forward.
What would I do if it had been 170,000 BTN....?
I might not be so happy letting it go then....
PS - Is the proper abbreviation BTN or BTC or BCN? I can never remember.
Dude seriously this is really very foolish. I must be aware of the fact that once you send your bitcoins to someone by mistake then its like next to impossible to get them back unless that person wants to whom you sent bitcoin. Seriously I think it was your that to whom you sent bitcoin was in your contact list and now you can get them back but u should be very much cautious while transacting your bitcoins because it is very difficult to recover them and moreover you cant do police complaint even.I did.
