Topic: Lost .2164 btc learn from my mistake - page 4. (Read 3786 times)
Bummer man. Don't be too hard on yourself though. Sending to the wrong address, or moving the decimal and sending the wrong amount could happen to anyone.
It seems like you need a pair of glasses 
But on a serious note, that really sucks. Its a common mistake on the sending amount, seems like you were busy w. something to double check I assume.
Hopefully you got enough btc to spare this loss.

Hopefully you got enough btc to spare this loss.
So basically I want newbies to learn from my poor mistake.
I made a mistake doing business with someone here, had given a wrong btc address. Why wrong? Naturally we all assume the btc address that someone provides is their wallet address and care to say wont do the search. Which this part is my mistake as well.
The actual transaction amount was 0.02164 - so this is another mistake for not double checking your "0"s.
Outside from the point the btc can sent back, if it was in their balance. So then I naturally assumed it was their btc address. The double screwed up part is when they provided a gambling btc address instead. Regardless if I sent the right amount, they would of never received it. They provided a wrong address.
Overall summary:
1. Always check the zeros in sending btc amounts (triple check)
2. Check the btc address prior sending any btc is not a gambling address
Edit - since I got a lot of response based on this - just to clarify it wasnt for nothing - I sold a spare btctalk account to "Candystripes ". He sent me the wrong amount and I said I would send it back. Then provided me with a btc gambling address, which I sent.
Editing - 9/15/14 - Finally got paid back, after endless hounding and building awareness of a educational post for newbies.
You can follow his mistake here by providing a gambling address.
Dude, your ripping me off. Its 0.03 not 0.2164. im sending it back to you, give me your btc address.
I meant to send that to Luckyb.it address haha. Can you send it and try and gamble it up? Or I can pay you back later?

I`ll give you a $50 starbucks gift card, for the troubles.
SHIT NOOOO I WAS EATING. I sent all your BTC to satoshibones 1.3x holy shit I meant to send from other addy all out. FUCK man.
No biggie. As soon as the 0.2164 sent, I figured its gone anyways.
Its just a bitch to buy bitcoin for me, cause I do lots of gift cards so yeah.
Somehow it just randomly confirmed, and lost
you can check yourself. http://bitzillions.com/satoshibones
That is a real bitch dude I am so fucking sorry I would have sent it back immediately.
The mistake I made myself was typing the wrong amount which should be in the message for 0.02164 and copy pasted that amount to the sent amount.
