You can't reverse a payment unless it hasn't been confirmed, and it stays that way long enough for the blockchain to forget it. Even then, if the darknet site owner you just paid is smart, he'll rebroadcast that transaction.

But, how can a site owner rebroadcast someone else's tx that has not confirmed? Only the original sender can do that.

If you have the transaction hex of any transaction then you can keep rebroadcasting that transaction. There is nothing that stops people from doing that, and there shouldn't be anything that stops people from doing that.

Ah, cool, thanks for the info mate. learn something new everyday, make it a life goal right! Wink

give me your cryptos

For starters, don't do business on the darknet. You're going to get in trouble, get scammed, or get lured into bad things.

Did you use the given address? Or did you try and type it in manually ಠ_ಠ

Maybe the site owner just accepted your coins, then just ran away.

My limited knowledge - if you can call it that - tells me that there is no way you can reverse a bitcoin payment.

I thought that that the US gov had grabbed all the silk road wallets. They've been auctioning their Bitcoins anyway.

ight well thatll help

Where you can check your bitcoin ballance I copied the address from their and sent it to that exact address, I checked the help forums and they say I could be using a fake Silk Road, which I highly doubt tbh because they wouldn't mention that on a fake website, they also said it could be a glitch and I'll have to wait a few hours till it shows I have the bitcoins in my account/wallet

I highly suspect that you have been scammed since both the original silk road and silk road 2 have been shutdown. See this: https://www.deepdotweb.com/marketplace-directory/listing/silk-road-3/ for some info.

It seems you might been fucked up! Because, darknet having lot of scam/fake website. And did you know the real silkroad link? Are you sure you've visited the original silkroad?

Okay I'll try, also followed the address I sent it to and it's been unspent, but it doesn't say I have and bitcoins in my Silk Road account, but I'll try contacting them, have you had expire nice with buying on the deep Web? Just so I could explain where I went and sent it? It's not important if you haven't just would be even more helpful

I have a little bit of experience with stuff on the deep web, but I haven't actually bought anything. I do know how those markets typically work though.

No I didn't buy if from the dark net, sorry thst was a typing erroneous on my behalf, I bought it from Localbitcoins.com then tried to send it to my deep web account, I may have messed up when I sent it to the address for my deep web account instead of requesting if from my wallet, from the deep web page

That should be fine then. As long as you sent the Bitcoin to the correct address, then you are fine, and you should contact the darknet site's support since then it is a service problem. It is ok if you did not click any button like "request payment" since those are not necessary for sending Bitcoin.

Why are you buying bitcoin from the darknet? Bitcoin isn't illegal, and if you want Bitcoin, that is one of the riskiest ways to do it.

If you sent the bitcoin to the wrong address, there is absolutely nothing you can do to get it back. If you know who owns that address, then you need to contact that person and ask him to return the Bitcoin. Since you are dealing with the darknet, the chances of getting anything back is pretty low. If you are sure that you sent the Bitcoin to the right place but they aren't crediting it to your account, then it is a service problem and you should contact support. Another thing, be careful on the darknet as many sites are phishing sites, so it is possible that you have been phished.
