If somehow it will be someones address - that lucky guy will get your coins. otherwise, if that adress is valid? but noone owns it - you will lose your coins

Hi!
As the title says, what happens if i get an address wrong? Do the coins get lost?
If that's what happens, why not change the code in Bitcoin, so that if the bitcoin network cant detect that address, returns the bitcoins to you?

Obviously, it will be gone forever. If you sent it to a wrong address then that person is really lucky and would definitely see a bright future ahead  Cheesy

yes, your coins will be sent to the wrong address. and of course you will lose all the coins you have.
If the address is not listed in blockchain, then the transaction will fail by itself. So if you want to send bitcoin, make sure the address you go to is not wrong.

If you send your coin  to the wrong address, well it's your fault for being careless. You should check if you copied correctly the address of the receiver to avoid any mistake because if you send it in the wrong address, you cannot retrieve what you send, unless the person who receives it will send it back to you but that's impossible.

Sad to say, you are right! those coins was lost. If you send bitcoins to wrong address unintentionally then the person which suppposed to receive that btc will receive nothing, and on the other hand, there's a lucky person who will receive what you sent. So be very careful when copying/typing addresses because a single wrong letter/number will ruin everything.

I think there's nothing wrong with the codes, actually it's very unique and provides total security. Just avoid being careless next time.

Bitcoin transactions are irreversible. If you were connected to the network when you made the transaction, your coins are lost.

We know that bitcoin is that technology which is famouse for its two quality that is reliability of payment that can't reverse and has not limit to transfer .
So here no chance for you to get back your bitcoin ( sometimes fees factor for long term unconfirmation results into reverse of bitcoin but I had never faced such things in my bitcoin work career ) .
And also sometimes when we send bitcoin to wrong address then bitcoin doesn't transfer ( I am talking about mistake type any extra word , or erase of any word or type of equal word ) .
Hope you understand well that what are probability that can happen with you .

Wrong address like you mistype it or correct address but not intended for right recipient. I think if it was wrong address as a result of mistype then it wont be able to pass the blockchain and likely bounce back, but if is a correct address meant for different user, then you just gift a stranger some free cash.

Any transaction issued with Bitcoin cannot be reversed, they can only be refunded by the person receiving the funds. Therefore, it is impossible for Instacoin to charge back or provide a refund. Bitcoin can detect typos and won't let you send money to an invalid address in the chain, but you should always confirm that you have type the correct adress to send to.

If you send to the wrong bitcoin address of course the bitcoin will vanish. You will lose the btc you send and luck will get according to the address you input it. The lesson is that every time you want to transfer bitcoin must be very careful in entering bitcoin address. And if we need to send a bitcoin or coins / tokens we should be careful and double check if it's correct the address when you send bitcoin or altcoins

If the address is exist it will a lost coin on your part.
The only way to retrieve it if the owner of address will agree to return it to you.
Its a blessing for the recipient.

I lost some satoshies due to a wrong address Sad

I reused the same address in which had previously worked for me. Now I know its a one-time only thing  Grin Hence, my transaction has been marked as "pending" for a couple of months.

I wish there was a time termination on pending transactions.

Obviously yes it will get lost if the address that you place is currently existing and you cannot do anything to get your coins back because it is all your fault. You can look at those exchangers that has an email address confirmation to be more secured in transfering your coins.

you will lose the btc you send it and there will be lucky people who get it according to the address you input it
so, first check your btc address before you do btc transactions

Yes you will lose your coin and goes to someone else wallet and if you think this in real senior of world if you put your money to someone else wallet then it depends on the person in who`s wallet you have put the money whether he returns you the money or not. The only way you would have some chance with, is if  you can find the owner of the wrong address that you sent your money to and try to persuade them to give them back and the odds of that happening is close to zero.
