So i just sent $1000 worth of btc to electrum wallet.
The transaction link?
When I tried to send, it said i needed password. and that was just a test wallet. so now i have lost $1000 because there is no such thing as bitcoin support. great....
Kindly correct me if I'm wrong: You forwarded $1000 worth of
BTCitcoins to an electrum wallet (testing purposes) and you wanted to send it back to another address so you could use it but it asked for a password that you don't have (or rather forgot to remember?) If that's the case, then Lets hope that you still got the seed that was used on creating that wallet (test wallet). If you still have it, you could recover everything by restoring the wallet using that seed and just choose a new password this time (something that you could remember).
so how are people insured if someone types the wrong address, adds a zero, or forget their private key. Why did satoshi not think of this?
If the issue is a wrong valid address that someone else has, your best chance is for that person to have some humanity in it and return it to you. If you've added a 0 by mistake (not sure about this) and lastly, if you forgot the private key (without doing your own work into securing it), then it's gone.
All these errors fall under a human error (your error to be exact) so nobody should be blamed expect you.
