Topic: Sent 1.5M DOGE to DGC address on BTER.COM (Happy Ending!!!) (Read 3287 times)

Thank you!

You know, prices come and go. The future is not foreseeable. The price could go much higher or it could go to zero. What's sure is that I won't sell my DOGE for a long time. Now even less than before. They now have a sentimental value to me

I know a lot of people for whom DOGE was the first crypto and myself with a modest rig I was early on the train and consider myself lucky. I'm not a DOGE fanatic but i do believe it's among those rare events that take unforeseen proportions and makes a lot of people happy.

I'm just enjoying the moment. I bought a nice bottle of whisky and i'm going to order a nice dinner for my girlfriend. Who cares about base calculations?

Well, congratulations! But just to note, they gave it back when prices are now low and doge forking and block having... -_-

Happy epilogue to an imbroglio

freeworm, the BTER representative on this forum, just announced me a brief (but oh so relieving) PM: Processed!!

The BTER-team has recuperated the DOGE that I had mistakenly sent to my DGC address. They have performed the fix (specified in OP) on their wallets and sent the DOGE back to my account. I couldn't help letting out a howl of joy at my office desk at work.

My DOGE have been in limbo for close to a month and not a day had passed by where I had not thought about them with a sense of remorse and guilt. I had lost them at a time when BTER and the whole "Middle Kingdom" were preparing the Chinese New Year. If I was not aware before of the importance of that festival in China, now I know it is much more important than our own New Year celebration! The festivities in China last for over a week, during which hardly anybody works! My requests and supplications met a Chinese wall of rebuttal. After a first wave of frustration and anger, I realized I had  the wrong approach and state of mind. After all, I didn't want revenge, I wanted my coins back. I understood that I had to be persevering and patient.

So here we are, close to a month later, and I'm a rich shibe again. BTER has generously declined any kind of reward. I will give the reward I had offered them to some initiative on http://foundation.dogecoin.com/.

I would like to warmly thank the BTER support team and freeworm. They have now also separated the DGC and DOGE wallets by a safe distance on the user's balance sheet, so it is much less likely that someone else will make the same mistake I made. Other than this regretful episode, I had always found BTER a more responsive and user-friendly exchange than the others I had been using. I will continue to use them as my platform of choice. I had never encountered the usual quirks I met elsewhere (endless deposit and withdrawal times, negative balances, ... - you know who I'm talking about )

I've exchanged messages with somebody who was in the same situation as I was but on another trading platform, Cryptsy. For the moment they have refused to help him, but I hope that, inspired by this precedent set by BTER, they will change their minds and offer this user the support to which he is entitled.

Thanks again to BTER and also a big thank you to warmking who has interceded for me in Chinese.

Hi warmking. Thanks for your message and your proposal. Actually nobody owns the address yet (it's just one of billions of potential addresses). But bter *could* easily own the address by (see first post):

1) exporting the private key from the DGC wallet (dumppriv key __address__)
2) import the private key into the doge wallet (importprivkey __generated_key__)

like this:

• on DGC wallet:
  
  • walletpassphrase __passphrase__ 120
  • dumpprivkey __address__
• on DOGE wallet:
  
  • walletpassphrase __passphrase__ 120
  • importprivkey __generated_key__

I'd be grateful if you could help and perhaps send a word in Chinese to their support line. If I recuperate my coins through your help I'll give you a generous reward. I'll send you my bter username in PM.

Thanks again for your assistance.

this dgc address is exist as doge addreshaves,so the question is who own this address,is the bter?as i know,some bter issues just because you guys dont know chinese,just language problem.exactly like chinese dude have some problems in english website.and actuly,i helped lots of people get  them problem solved,you just say chinese to chinese website ,say english to english website.

i think bter is better than i thought because they always helpful when i ask them for help in chinese.but some english website like cryptsy just not so good.cryptsy holding my IFC for some days,support says it will be solved soon yesterday,they were lying.now,i just trust more bter than cryptsy.

if bter own the address ,maybe i could help,if you will.
 

What a nice guy. However, they will hear from you, but you probably won't hear from them. Anyway, keep us updated!

I can readily see that your "Hero" status is not only due to your post count but also to a good dose of wisdom. I have indeed meditated upon this again and I am quite reconciled with the idea that I am the sole actor and responsible for my negligence and my losses.

However, on a more wordly and pragmatic level (and I would never ask you to stoop down so low), I'm am still vain enough as to expect some kind of support from a platform on which I have traded abundantly and, thereby, for which I have generated significant profit. I acknowledge that this can be viewed as a vain expectation, stemming for naiveness or even, for some, stupidity. But, awaiting some higher form of wisdom (of the kind you seem imbued with) in the same way as I am reconciled with the idea that I have lost 1.5M doge, I am ready to lose much more just to get BTER to acknowledge my claim.

I'm letting the matter rest for the Chinese New Year, but they'll hear from me again after that.

You should probably meditate on these statements for a while. Think about what they mean, not what you'd like them to mean.

And you should start reading one.And not the comic section.
Do you even have a clue what's the role of the PBC and what is the situation here?

Well, maybe you should read a newspaper from time to time

This won't even make them laugh. =)))))
Are you a 7 yo?

Well you must think they are stupid, the Chinese Authorities would do nothing -_-

Told you before to threaten them with legal measures. Even drafted a text for you

Good luck, mate!

i feel for you bro
gl getting them back

all done. I don't mind waiting, i'm just waiting for a clear response.

Bter won't touch it until a technician has time to fix it for you.
Just send an email and contact with the English customer representative on skype and leave all your username, the coin address.
It won't be solve soon since all the technicians are quite busy now and it's the most important holiday (Spring Festival) in China.

Yep. Blockchain address above. The only thing that'll fix it is if BTER performs the operation I mention in opening post.

LOL, good luck getting them back, they will tell you the wallet got corrupted or something, but instead regains the coins and keeps them for themselves.

Has the transaction been confirmed in your wallet?

If not, try deleting your blockchain and restoring an older wallet.dat
