Topic: Lost coins? - page 2. (Read 670 times)
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
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?

That's the problem when you send coins to a wrong address. Negligence to what you do is not an excuse to fix the damage. I think there is no way to fix it instead, do your part to be responsible in sending your coins to the correct address.
I was wrong several times when I didn’t verify that the token belongs to the ERC20 standard and after sending to MEW I lost my tokens (
if in my opinion it's your own mistake, not the exchange error, chances are that you have mistakenly written the address you want because it could cause your coins or tokens to lose 
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 somethingMake sure you always double check or do it more before you send to the address, so you don't make any mistake. Sometimes we miss this, and we forget to check the address, or we only check the first character and the end of characters. That is why many of us still making a mistake, but from this, I think we need to always check before sending to another wallet.
If the transaction is on ETH platform and its still pending you can still stop it by going into etherscan and paste the address ,its will show pending and you can stop it ,there is 99% chance that it won't work though ,but if the transaction has been approved then forget it
I already lost my coins not because of my mistake of entering the wrong address but I was hacked last year $10,000 worth of crypto from my Myetherwallet. A hacker stole my private key by any means but I don't know how. But, steal my account has some crypto. How can I protect this? If anyone know that; how to change the private key or any protection method for my rest of the coin in my wallet, then tell me.
there is no way when we send the wrong address and click "send".
and it will be a problem if we use privacy coin, because we don't know where our coins go.
for example, sending the XVG coin incorrectly, then we won't know who the owner of the address is.

Yes, double or triple checking your receiver address before sending any coins is the basic thing you need to avoid this.
There are some virus that can change your clipboard (address you copied) and change it into other address when you paste it.
Always checking and never sending coins hastily.
that was my experience at that time, the pc that I used was infected with a virus and the wallet address always appeared another wallet, I was still lucky because I realized that it was not my wallet, I canceled the transaction and reinstalled immediately, after that everything became normal again There are some virus that can change your clipboard (address you copied) and change it into other address when you paste it.

it mean your wallet has been hijacked by someone buddy, maybe you have ever put your private key when filled some form registration.

Every coin that we send to the wrong address, of course we can take it back. Because the blockchain system has no control, so it can't reset the data. Of course in this case to avoid an error, we must always use the copypaste system, or use a barcode. Don't type the address of the wallet one by one.

I have an empty portfolio that is eagerly waiting for anyone that would not be careful enough to transfer his or crypto to me, they should not worry, I will take my percentage and transfer the remaining to them lol.
But seriously, I feel for those who has made such mistakes, especially those that transferred huge amount of coins, I don’t think there is any system that has been designed yet that can verify if an account is active or dormant and I doubt it will ever be possible to base it on that, I might decide to save up my coins from now to 10 years without opening it up before then provide I have my passcode active, that doesn’t give anyone the right to mark it as inactive, the only thing I can wish is if there is a way a name can be attached to every wallet address that will ensure its going to the right person.

if it's a mistake like you did I have never experienced it and I also don't want to experience it. but when sending assets from the ICO platform to my trading account and it made my transaction delayed for quite a long time because the process that must be done was also somewhat complicated. 
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 don't think there can be a function to check if the receiving address has been active unless you are going to create a centralized blockchain which is totally against the idea of crypto entirely, crypto is being your own bank and being able to double check an address before sending is one of the responsibility you have to do once you signed up to make use of crypto, we just need to be more careful when we make use of the crypto platform so that we don't fall victim.
I think there is a way to fix it but it will all depend on which address and platformsm you sent it too. In 2017,I rushed to withdraw digibyte from Poloniex to my Coinomi wallet and instead of copying digibyte address, I copied the address of digitalcoin. I contact Coinomi and they told me what to do to recover it back which I did and I get the coin back.
I never knew this was actually possible, since it is a decentralized market, I didn’t know we still have a third party that could pull this string, reason why I am shocked to know this is because I remembered there was this bounty program I participated in and I think they mistakenly paid us all far more than what they meant to pay, they couldn’t do much about it except to send us a mail requesting for a refund of part of the coins transferred.So if it was possible to do, why can’t all exchanges to put these tools too in place like coinomi to be able to recover lost coins or stolen coins.
