I hope you will get the BTC back.

Yeah, he has to try and contact the miner/pool that mined the respective block. I guess there really have been instances where they actually did pay the transaction fee back! But then again, 0.2 BTC isn't that much and I don't know if they bother. But it could be positive PR for them.

BTW: BTC core doesn't do sanity checks too if you use coincontrol Wink

, so standard core = standard BCI sending!

you have less option to make mistake, too.
but you have point, right.

^ thank you. Does block chain have the resources to reimburse me.

As far as I know… this is not my fault and 110% block chain fault.

Tell me again how this is Blockchain.infos fault?

You did confuse the "amount" field with the "fee" field and then CONFIRMED the popup.

so?....

If i fucked up, and no one helps my oopsie… it makes everything bitcoin look bad. A giant ugly mole on its face that keeps growing.

Things like this incident make me really wonder whether people would actually want to use Bitcoin. There's no one you can call or contact if you screwed up. I think people like someone to look over their shoulder and pay attention that they don't screw up or at least that the banks can still revert the transaction.

This is a really unfortunate mistake... They should have sanity checks for such things in the client OP was using....

Well ... it will always the problem with "virtual" wallet (mtgox ?).
That why bitcoin core exist, too... not only for server and node features but for wallet managment, too.

But Blockchain.info is no hosted wallet. It is a browserside wallet that has a encrypted backup hosted on their server. Without access to your keys they can't really scam you, also it is very powerful if you know what you do!

apparently OP went to "custom send" (the advanced part of the sending on BCI) and then put in the fee in the field where the amount goes in and vice versa. Then he confirmed the popup once again warning him.

OKay ...

Take responsibility for your mistake, contact the miner. If they are a decent human being (I think most miners are) you'll probably get it returned.

This sounds like you made the “mistake” on purpose in order to try to give Blockchain.info or Bitcoin itself bad reputation. However, that's not the way things work.

Is there a way to contact the miner?

Step 1: find out who mined the block
Step 2: Use google

Don't use advanced features if you can't handle the implications. Don't always blame others. NO, it was not 110% blockchain.infos fault, it was yours.

The only way to get your money back is to contact the miner who mined it. But you are not able to do that obviously.

This is left as an excercise to the reader.

i.e. if you can't even manage to contact them, I can fully understand how you messed up in the first place (and no, it's no justification)

Wow, how does something like this even happen?

Brutal. Hopefully he'll somehow get his BTC back, but I doubt it...

1. Don't use webwallets. I understand you don't really know how to use IT (don't know about imgur 5 years after it's been massively used all over the internet (not like other old farts that still recommend imageshit)). Don't use webwallets and then complain they are badly coded (besides bad security practices). And apparently badly coded math!

What does this have to do with his problem?
It's totally completely unrelated.

Plus blockchain.info is not a web wallet it is a hybrid wallet. It is a safe form of web based wallet. Do not lump it in with shit like inputs.io or other web wallets.
