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.

until now it has never happened to me, maybe it is your bad experience in investment, with bad experience is of course in the future you will be more vigilant and more thoroughly again in doing everything

Thanks God it never happened to me as well, I am an old user of bitcoin so I never show carelessness about bitcoin sending and receiving, bitcoin is really an expensive currency so it is not good to show carelessness about it, if you will use it at right time and for right purpose then you will never face this situation.
