Unfortunately there is no way to cancel or rivers are transaction in Bitcoin. That is one of the biggest issues with Bitcoin.

Yes, you are right that Bitcoin transactions are irreversible; they cannot be reversed or canceled. The design of the transaction on the Bitcoin network is irreversible. This means that if you send the transaction and, after broadcasting it, verifying the miners, and completing it, you can neither reverse nor cancel the complete transaction without any reason. This is impossible, and even more impossible given the nature of Bitcoin.

But, sir, I have the right to disagree with you that irreversible transactions cannot be a misfortune of Bitcoin; rather, they are a virtue of Bitcoin. This is the reason why Bitcion is called decentralized. The second is that due to this irreversible transaction, Bitcoin eliminates the risk of chargebacks, and if Bitcoin did not have this quality, then the circumstance that is based on the decentralized standard would not fit in, but it would also be like normal centralized authorities. It would not be good.

Lol so I still don't know how it happen but somehow I sent some money to @rat03gopoh how I get his address copied to my clipboard I don't know but I was searched on Google for the address and come up with the holder then contacted him and hope to get it back, 😅 funny story

Still, the luck is on you, how does it happen that you made a copy of the address of rat03gopoh and pasted it to your address destination, did you commit already a transaction to him or just accidentally copy is address for some reason? and that address is still on your clipboard, if other people will receive those sure low chance of getting your asset back. Good to know he gave it back, make a double-check before proceeding with the address next time.

If I'm not mistaken, some time ago several members raised a topic related to scammers, the target of which was a copy-paste device that automatically changed the copied address to the scammer's address. and for several reasons like that, it would be better if you just scan the barcode directly to make the transaction. or if we make a transaction like the OP did, we have to double-check the address we pasted before we send it.

I don't know how the OP managed to connect to another member's address on the forum. he was quite lucky.

Lucky you OP, you should be regretting by now assuming, you sent your coins to a dishonest person that wouldn't return it back. This is why you need to cross check the address which your want to send your coins to over and over again to avoid mistake of such that happened.

Scammers can also send malware to your clipboard and if you are the type that is not cautious with what your are doing online, you will fall victim for this. rat03gopoh is a good person with good reputation and that was why we are all saying that you are lucky. You would have learnt a hard lesson by now.

Hopefully the recipient of the coins will immediately return what is not his to you. Next time, you have to be more careful before you actually send it, first make sure the first and last letters are the same as your wallet address. This is a small mistake that most crypto asset holders often ignore, but this small mistake can become a big mistake when the coins are sent not to the intended address. Malware virus attacks could be infiltrated into your device that you never realize.
So always be careful before sending coins to another address, to prevent the same mistake from happening, always check before you press the send button.

Incredible fortune to get you BTC back. Always take the time to double check the address as you enter it, as others have mentioned BTC transactions are completely irreversible.

Yep its funny someone returned the coins. Hard to believe I guess thats why you find it funny. You are lucky to have sent the coin to someone who has no intention of keeping it. If it's someone else, you'd be posting your rants already. It is not every day a person receives some coins that they don't expect and for that, they will consider it sent by God.

It isn't funny man anyone with a pure mindset who believes in hard work rather than stealing someone else's money will do that without any question. In the OP's case @rat03gopoh is that guy who proved that he's someone who believes in earning money via ethical and legal ways rather than stealing someone else money. It still won't be an act of stealing if he didn't sent the coins back to the OP but it would be rather ethically unacceptable and anyone with good morals would never do unethical things.

The ones with no moral may find that money sent by God even if they know that the money is someone else's money. A good person will not do that man and @rat03gopoh is the best example we can see right now. Something that you get for granted isn't worthy to keep until you don't earn it with effort.

Transaction can be double spent, as long as it has not yet been confirmed. Double spending can cancel the previous transaction that has not yet been confirmed since the person is sending the same Bitcoin to other address with a higher transaction fee to get confirmed first. But I think this is way beyond the thread discussion.

I wouldn't say that you can double spend it rather I would say that it is like RBF where you replace the transaction with a new one although what your mean doesn't have parent where the child will pay for. I get what you mean about double spend which is to replace the previous transaction with a new one and doesn't the previous transaction will be replaced since it isn't possible to send the same crypto from your wallet going to two different wallets.

There's no way that a transaction can be cancelled or it is irreversible meaning once you sent the coin then it will be sent and it cannot be undone. There's no way you can get it back unless the owner of the wallet address return the coin that you have mistakenly sent. There aren't lots of people who return what isn't theirs but there are some people who will return it to thr owner. Try checking your device as I think there's a malware in your device and that's why it happened. You better learn what is Clipboard hijacking and what will happen if your device have clipboard malware.

@OP you are lucky that the person who received your Bitcoin is a kind-hearted person and you are able to know the owner of the address. You should be more careful next time and double check the address before executing the transaction. You are lucky this time but may not be on the second time.

I'm not sure if it's clear under what context you experienced the error, but I imagine it was a transaction within some private community because it's impossible to randomly come across a known address.

Something similar happened to me when I tried to get an airdroped NFT and ended up signing a blind transaction for purching it. When I explained it to the seller, he refunded it me (If he had let me keep the NFT, he'd have been a fucking hero, but no, haha). It was about $250, which speaks volumes about the seller's honesty. In this case, it happened in Decentraland, where the NFT name linked to the wallet is widely used. It's about individuals aiming to establish a good name and reputation.

Can't blame you finding it funny and probably in awe that you had your token returned in one piece after sending it to the wrong address, the world now has more bad eggs than good so when things like this happen we imagine it if it's a dream but no it's ain't a dream good people still exist and here's one in the forum that has proven it not just in words but in deeds by returning what he knows morally isn't his.

My advise is be careful case of next time you might not be lucky in this way and also not find it funny by the time you come to reality that your token is gone never to be returned.

Luck shined on you OP that you know the owner of the wallet address by virtue of your findings. I think you are very much lucky and you be thankful that you received your coin back but you have to be careful next time so as not to make or repeat such mistake again because you just might not be lucky the second time if such mistake repeats itself.

It is very much advisable that one double check their wallet address before transacting so as not to make any mistake. Such as you making sure the wallet address corresponds with the receiver address so as to avoid transacting with the wrong address because most times virus of such nature might have invaded your gadgets without you knowing but crosschecking before transacting might put you and the know.

Unfortunately there is no way to cancel or rivers are transaction in Bitcoin. That is one of the biggest issues with Bitcoin. You are lucky enough to get the money back. There are numerous occasion where people have mistakenly sent out Bitcoins and never receive them back.

Being irreversible is not an issue, it's a positive that Bitcoin has other forms of currency.

First point to note is for a transaction to be reversible, there has to be a central authority to oversee transactions and go through the details of each one to ensure people do not just reverse transactions after paying for something. This will mean Bitcoin is not decentralized and is not a unique, futuristic asset at all.

If transactions were reversible you will not be certain you own the bitcoins in your wallet.

What we have to do it take responsibility when making a transaction. Triple check the address in it's entirety and not just the first and last characters.

It’s not everyday you hear something like this. How you got the bitcoin address is still a mystery as you gave little information about that or the amount in question. You’re indeed very lucky that the owner of the bitcoin address is a member here and one with a reputation for that matter. You won’t always be this lucky, there are many people who have lost their bitcoins in this same way. Bitcoin transactions are irreversible, so make sure to double check your address when making a transaction.

It seems this person rat03gopoh has not replied yet here if he did send BTC back to you.
He just recently online 3 hours ago and I believe he will send your BTC soon. You are lucky that it is one of our fellow forum members but if not you won't be able to get your coins back.

Next time triple check the copied/pasted address before sending BTC I experience this sometimes that's why I always check multiple times to make sure it will be sent to the right person.

This time you are very lucky OP because your mistake sent it to someone who can return it, next time be careful maybe someone else won't think twice about returning it if it's a mistake from you, just double check the address to make sure that the wallet is correct.

Then has your btc been returned so far from rat03gopoh?
If it's done then it's better to lock this thread because the problem is over.

Lucky you that the person you had sent your bitcoin is a good person. This kind of situation doesn't happen that much. The fact that the coins where sent to you back and the chances that you wrongly copy pasted an address. I wonder how you contacted him? Thru telegram? If it's a random address, there's no way that you will contact that person.

I suggest to run an antivirus or check your device if it has a malware in it as you said that you didn't know where that address, though I doubt that the person was a hacker given that he returned your money, but just to be safe, check your device.

Don't be in haste when trying to do a transaction to avoid such a mistake repeating itself in the future, or multi-tasking when doing a transaction, You are very lucky to have your funds sent back because you rarely have this case happen and I must commend the receiver of the funds for returning the funds, if this transaction were to be someone else outside the forum, your crypto is lost once it has been confirmed on the blockchain network. This should be a lesson for you, Op.

You're lucky that you're able to determine who's the owner of the address but how did you managed to send it to a random address(his) when you don't know him? What are you doing that time when you're trying to send that transaction? Are you also in the forum and just trying to browse and by random accident you copied his address but how? I am just confused. As long as your problem is solved and you have no worries anymore, you tend to be lucky this time but whatever you do and how you did ended up sending it to the wrong address by mistake the next time you commit this mistake and you can't see the owner of it. The receiver might just think he's lucky that he's got some random airdrop.
