Aww, these malware of a thing is really getting out of hand, these addresses are quite too long to even notice if there is a change in it, you were so fortunate to have noticed, this loop hole is what ethereum would have used to better there system and attract more users, they should be able to do something that will make one be able to confirm the identity of the receiver before sending, with all these things going on, such as ICO scam, bad projects, stealing of funds from wallet and all these malware stuff, these system might eventually change its after from decentralized to being decentralized.

Imagine ethereum decides to introduce identity confirmation now, has that not already defeated the objective of the anonymous system BTC created?

I hope that this will not happen to me, because I look at all possible situations with cryptocurrency very carefully. Therefore, I hope that all this is nothing more than the risk of losing money. It really is.

the risk of losing money is something that many people are very afraid of. that is why now people do not buy cryptocurrency. they are afraid of losing their money

I don't that lost coins can be recovered. As of now, there is no app that will help you out. Those apps saying they can, most likely they are malwares designed to steal more of your coins. It's really hard to trust especially apps pretending to help you. Start checking your computer of malwares.

I do believe in you, basically thinking about the matter in a logical way, if we can say, private key and wallet address are linked and interconnected no matter what we can do, then then there's no way we can generate the same wallet address using different private key. In addition it seems impossible if we are going to access the codes behind how these wallet address and private keys are generated. In cryptocurrencies and blockchain, it is 99 percent impossible to make a even a very few adjustment what we can only do is to make an update or view it.

Hi guys

First of all - i haven't been sending anything to a wrong address, I Always Double check the addresses if not tripple check Grin

But!
I've been thinking about all those post about people sending their coins to a wrong address - isn't there a way to fix this?

What happens if you type in a wrong address and send it? - You probably just lost your coins. Someone might be lucky enough to have this address, otherwise your coins would be stuck in wallet controlled by no one.
Im not sure how the delegation of addresses works, but could i end up with a wallet with x amount of a coin in it just by creating new wallets?

Wallet addresses is a hexadecimal number, which cointains more possible addresses, than humans existing on the earth - Of course not 100% correct beacuse a coins address whould be same lenght +-
which will restrict the possible amount. Why? Because of safety? Or maybe the posibilty to scale the network?

is there any coins with some kind of function that checks if the recieving wallet address has ever been active? If not - Why? would it ruin any kind of privacy/anonymity?

one negligence can have a bad impact, as you say.
we can't change it or get it back, that's the risk and I've experienced it when I first became involved in the crypto industry.
but as other friends say, you have to research and check every time you want to make a transaction or move from the wallet to the other wallet.

hello, don't get your address wrong, but if you send ETH to the BTC address, of course you can't, both wallet and market devices can't describe the address if you use the wrong wallet address

does that mean we can only insert one coin against one wallet? if like that it feels very difficult because you have to have a lot of wallets if you buy lots of coins that make the mind confused and and can be wrong we entered the wrong key when we want to enter our wallet.

absolutely right, in my opinion it is very troublesome if we cannot enter several coins at once in one wallet.
moreover if we are big investors who invest in lots of coins then it is very inefficient.

If that wallet was supporting multiple cryptos and you can store all of them in one wallet. Dude, just try to search through using keyword multi cryptocurrency wallet and you will get a bunch of result about which is a wallet that is supporting various crypto at the same time.

There isn't a way to fix this especially when the transaction has been processed already. And on recovery process, if there is a user in the address that you have mistakenly send in, you can actually ask him personally if there's a way for you to know who's the holder of the address. But most of the time, the address will not be existing one.

we should always check the address multiple times, i always check the address i'm sending to several times. hardware wallets is a must in my opinion it can protect from these kind of mistakes.

Return anything of course not succeed. It is necessary to check everything more carefully ... such moments happened to many, but until you get a lump yourself you will not get experience.

indeed there are many applications or software that promote that they can return your lost coins but, don't be easily affected and true if they only want to cheat by stealing more coins that you have I am also sure the coins that have been lost will indeed be difficult to return to if you have lost it is better to ask for help from those who know better.

I really don't know if its really lost or something, there are numerous facts to be considered, even if you say that you're the kind of a guy who always check before sending, you might never know that especially when you're busy. Another thing is the coin must have stopped from existing, well you know what's the reason.

So specifically its not lost.

I am also concerned about the event you experienced, losing is indeed a very painful thing, therefore always be careful and always check when sending or receiving a token. because when there is a mistake we will not be able to do anything. besides sincerity.

I think the lost coins cannot be recovered, the best solution to avoid this is to pay attention to your wallet before sending coins

We always learn from our mistakes and each day is just a new day and we are learning something new.I am sorry for people who really lost their coins but its a good lesson so that we might be more careful in future.Generally when we try to send coins we need to give authy codes/confirm verification mail/again we need to confirm twice at least in every transaction.even exchanges use fund password enable all those so that while transferring funds you will have to check quite a number of times.It will minimize mistakes.

I agree that it is difficult to make a mistake, there is only the option that it is a novice, or just in a hurry, be careful, do not hurry, check the address and number

the coin is lost due to a typing error or number I think it will not be sent, the address contract in each transaction must match that address. so the point is if you send it incorrectly because a letter error will not be sent or lost, unless you send it not because the error might be lost.

It seems a trivial thing, but it is important to know not to let us send the wrong address or to write something that will harm us, it requires precision in doing something

It requires presence of mind before sending your tokens/coins to another wallet address, you have to double or triple check each information that you needed to remember, failing to do so will results to lose your coins forever, I was once experienced this transferring coins to a wrong address and never
recover anything back.

ever had experience about that, i input wrong address. it should be ETH address then i inputed NEO wallet
gladly i'm contact the admin from that exchange to refund my ballance , and its successfull.
they refund my eth. my opinion you should contact costumer service or admin to refund your wrong coin

But that will only work if you are in an centralized exchange. And also both ETH addresses and NEO addresses are totally different so ETH will never go through in sending the funds. I wonder which exchange tried to process withdrawal of a wrong format of wallet address? What I know to most exchanges out there is that it will not go through and notifies me it's not the proper address.
