Send ETH to ICO with to much gas, keeps bouncing

Hi,

Not sure what to do with this, and if it will resolve itself.

But I send ETH to an address for an ICO that was ongoing, only I accidentally send a high gas limit so the payment wasn't accepted ( this was 18hrs ago or so ).
The payment just keeps bouncing around.

Does it need to run out of gas before the payment is returned, or can the owners of the ICO do something about it ( I did contact them, but the haven't responded yet ).

Thanks Smiley

So if a bunch of random people tell you the earth is flat, then it's suddenly flat?

Basically everything people find suspicious has been explained in their slack channel ( search for it ) https://monaco-card.slack.com/.

Hello everyone, we have been contacted by Virginia Lam who is part of Monaco ICO team. They were interested in listing Monaco ICO at http://icoindex.com/.

We never heard about the project before so we told them they will first need to go through our verification process before being listed at ICOindex.

Their response was negative and they offered us "$0.05 for listing".

We quickly found out why they refused to get verified after reading through this Bitcointalk thread and watching this video from Boxmining youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUBC8_orpXc&list=TLGGU2IOFOgSTPYyNTA1MjAxNw

First of all, I would like to thank all of you in this thread for taking your time to gather all suspicious information about this project. I also want to thank Boxmining for making a video about the controversy of Monaco ICO and for warning many people.

ICOindex is NOT another ICO site that lists all ICOs regardless of their quality. We want to bring added value for people that are interested in ICOs but want to avoid scam and suspicious projects. That is why we verify the projects before being listed.

ICOindex is a community-based project for ICO enthusiasts and investors who want to find reliable information about ICOs at one place. We need people like you who are able to bust scams and suspicious ICO projects before they raise money from naive people.

I would like to invite all of you to join our slack chat. (https://icoindex-official.herokuapp.com/) Subscribe to our newsletter on our website http://icoindex.com/. We also have a facebook group where you can discuss Initial Coin Offerings https://www.facebook.com/groups/InitialCoinOffering/

Are you sure you didn't accidentally made a typo, and you asked 0.5btc for the review, and after they refusing that you called it a scam? That's the story I heard, which is very different from what you're claiming here.

There are screenshots from you asking that in the slack channel -> https://monaco-card.slack.com/messages/C5E0UMZT6/search/roadmap/.

Re: Beth ICO ( Beth.jp ) Another Scam in cryptoland

More information would be nice indeed. It's hard to find information on them, especially since most of it is in Japanese.

But the registrar is clearly named anonymousspeech.com, which should have been more then clear that it's a register used to hide private data, hardly suspicious by itself ( I use them for businesses as well ). Not really impressed by all the other accusations to be honest.

The main problem is that they are Japanese, so doing research on them is hard. Did you bother to contact the event and find out if they are actually a sponsor? If they say no, then that would be a big thing. edit: They are now mentioned as a sponsor http://blockchainapac.fintecnet.com/.

They should definitely make a video or so introducing themselves or so, or share links with their background on it ( that already existed before the ICO ). I would like to invest in something like this, but I prefer the money to not go down in a black hole.
