Re: What happens if someone sends me more bitcoins than I set in my public key?

Hello guys!

I wanted to get $ 100 from a Bitcoin customer, so I went into my exchange office, generated a wallet that asked me to set the amount I wanted to receive on it. Having generated it, also showed me the QR Code, and a counter of only 14 minutes to enter money in that wallet. The exchange house's information is that the value had to fall within just 14 minutes. Then I quickly sent the wallet to the customer. But then, my client told me that he would actually send me $ 150 because he wanted another job of mine. I was worried because at the exchange house, he gave me the option to generate the wallet by setting a specific amount, which I had already set to be $ 100 and not $ 150 as the customer said he was actually about to send me. Then I went to generate a new wallet. I already wanted to get the money straight from my exchange house to sell the bitcoins. However, I contacted the exchange office support, and they told me that they really need to send the amount in that 14 minute period. So, I did not like it, because if the person does not send at that time, I risk losing money ... I will generate wallet elsewhere now ...

If by "exchange office" you mean BitPay then you should contact them (or that office). If you generated the QR code within Electrum for example (see image: https://ibb.co/fGDGM5K) then you have nothing to worry about that is just to set the QR code to auto-fill the set amount, they can send any amount.

As long as that company is respectable, they will manage excess funds / return it to you or the customer. What site is it?
