So sorry for your loss, it is not only about contacting paytoshi now, paytoshi is long gone, it is about contacting specifically the person that has the private key of the bitcoin address you sent the bitcoin to. Which means, it will be hard to get your bitcoin back. Although, mistake could happen, but next time, try to check the address you are sending your bitcoin to, also check and recheck the address to be 100% certain of the recipient address. Also know that any wallet that seem custodial, in which you have no private key to access your bitcoin on blockchain, it means the private key is managed by another party which makes it custodial, it makes you not to be the owner of the bitcoin on blockchain.
Also, transaction is not reversible. Which means your coin is gone. So sorry about this.

They didn't list their email address on any of their profiles. Try contacting looptribe directly.There might be a chance that they are just contributors to the project and the actual faucet is ran by someone else. Given how it has been offline for so long, I doubt that they would still hold the keys to the addresses.

If there's even any chance that you can recover the BTC, you won't be able to do it alone without the help of the person who has access to wallets. Probably the form owner of the website
Try out checking these profiles for any leads. Maybe one of them knows the person behind the website or who has access to the wallets.

No private-key = no coins. That's Bitcoin's rule number one.
If the address was from Paytoshi.org itself, no chance. But if you hosted your own Paytoshi[1] (e.g you are the owner of a faucet), maybe you can find your wallet used in the website find somewhere.

I don't know who'd remember that site but if you don't have a private key it looks like a faucet hub type site (which may itself be gone) then it's going to be quite unlikely your funds are recovered. This is one of the problems with bitcoin imo at its current state, there are no inheritance schemes in place.
I'm sorry to say this to OP, but recovering his btc will not be possible in this case. For one, the site has long been gone. And the wallet is owned by paytoshi so I don't think the OP will have the wallet.dat file for that. This is the reason why we always not double check but triple check the address where we are sending our btc. Because most of the time, it is not recoverable especially if you don't have the control of the address where you are sending it to. 0.089BTC is quite big amount of money. But I don't think there is a solution to his problem.

Hello there! I accidently sent 0.089btc to my address registered in paytoshi.org. But that site is gone for more than 3years now...
Is there any way to get hold of my coins...? I do not know private key for that address, but may there be a wallet.dat file on my computer for a paytoshi.org address? does someone know?
