Hi guys, i need help. I did a stupid thing. I sent a part of a bitcoin from my own address to my other address using Sparrow wallet (Taproot addresses if it matters). But somehow I did not notice the fee amount. I used Sparrow wallet dozens of times and fee was always adjusted automatically in reasonable range. Something went wrong this time and i did not notice it.

Wait a minute though. you meant to send $0.20 out of a bitcoin wallet that had almost $48,000 in it? why would someone do something like that? it seems like what you forgot to include a change address somehow. sparrow wallet must have messed up.

people should understand that every time they fire up their bitcoin wallet and do a transaction, there is a risk.

Foundry would be pretty dumb not to answer the op as he can supposedly prove all of this.

what exactly can he prove though? that he made a mistake and didn't notice the fee that it was displaying? and so that means legally they have to refund his bitcoin transaction? i'm all for OP getting back his money but that's really not how bitcoin was meant to be. it is supposed to be irreversible no matter what.

WELL USA laws in most states, state obvious mistakes should be corrected by the parties involved. Giving 0.7 in fees for a dust payment meets the definition of obvious mistake.

If the op was in the USA and Foundry is in the USA the tx may be subject to us tort laws ie refund the obvious mistake.

If the op can not get info or help from Foundry he could talk to a lawyer about recovery of funds.
