This is how awesome CoinBase is,



For those of you on the fence for using coinbase, this is how a real startup treats their customers... I am looking at you BFL and TerraHash!

You made Satoshi one bitcoin richer.

Unless you can contact him there's nothing you can really do without spending a lot more than 1 BTC to recover it.

Does it say "pending?" or "unconfirmed" or "confirmed"?

If it's pending, I think you can contact support, or you might even get it back without contacting, if the other side doesn't accept the payment.

FYI,
Here is what happened:

Quote
When you start typing in the send to textbox in the send bitcoin page on coinbase they use an auto-complete javascript script to show similar addresses, where those come from I don't know.

The first 3 characters where close enough to mine that I simply clicked it without confirming that it was my main address and then proceeded to click on the send bitcoin button, bitcoins gone, poof! $184+ down the drain.

The address in question is: 1NSXoRoP8g2uGzUB8YjUKC9uC5ZWP5TH4i

If you see this transaction (even unconfirmed) at blockchain.info, nothing can be done  Sad

If not, contact Coinbase if they can cancel the transaction

Anything I can do to get it back? It is still in pending status.
