Be careful not to make the same mistake twice, you may not be so lucky the second time.

To avoid mistakes of sending to a wrong address, always double check the address you pasted with the one you copied because asides the mistake you made, you may never know when you have been affected by the clipboard virus from cyber criminals that can modify crypto address copied to the clipboard to that of the criminal behind it.

It is not impossible to be a victim when the device you use often to surf the internet is same device you store and send your bitcoins from.

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

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.

Bitcoin is good as an investment but if we look from the perspective of a currency or a payment processor, it cannot be worse.

The owner of the address you sent will definitely send your money back if the transaction you said was sent by mistake is successful.
The story you call funny reminds us of the checksum function.

OP. Next time be careful when you want to make a transaction. Carelessness can make us lose money.
@rat03gopoh haven't seen this thread.

I feel lucky that I found the owner of the address and he seems like good person and very reputable on this forum

Yes @rat03gopoh is a respected member of the Indonesian community of the forum. He is also an active Hero member of that posts on different boards of the forum. I guess you will definitely get back the mistakingly sent funds. But you need it be careful next time because you might not be lucky. Many people have lost money due to such mistake. Have you contacted him through personal message?

So what was your original destination address? Were you randomly sending to a random address or you knew what you were doing? Because if you are sending to an exchange, to a friend, to anyone, usually you'd double check the address before sending, but now you are saying you don't know how his address got into your clipboard, that's a bit strange.🤔

Strange indeed. But anything is possible in the crypto space. He claimed it was an error without giving any further explanation.

TXID doesn’t displays reference name and google isn’t use to search for transaction details but rather a block explorer is used instead.

Google is not used to verify or search for transaction details, but most times Google can give you a clue to whom the address belongs. That's for a case where the address has been used in a public place where a name or person details are attached to the person.

With the help of Google, you can easily link an address that has been used in a place that is public, like this forum; they can just help locate a post where the address has been posted. I guess that's what the OP did, and the address linked to the above-mentioned user is in this forum.

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.

The only method to recover it is if the recipient's address returns the coin; otherwise, it is lost.

To avoid such mistakes, always be cautious when sending out coins. There are several malware viruses that infiltrate our devices via phishing attacks and then take control of our keyboards, with the ability to replace our wallet addresses with their own in order to receive the coin we are about to send. That is why it is important to double-check the address before sending it, as they can change our addresses with theirs that have similar suffixes to ours.

Surely you accidentally control + c his wallet address when you view one of his post containing his wallet address or when you view his profile.

You are lucky that his an active user here in forum and has a good repute here or else you will not get back your tokens. @Yamane_Keto was right, You didn’t recover it but the guy here in the forum is just a good person since he has no obligation to return it to you since you send it to his address already without him misleading you.

You did not recover them, but the owner of the private key sent the same amount to your address. There is no way to cancel the transaction after sending it (1 confirmation)

It is true that you are lucky to get your money back, but you lost the transaction confirmation fees.

That’s definitely the only way to get a coin sent to a wallet back, the recipient sent it back directly. But then how did the address get attached to him, TXID doesn’t displays reference name and google isn’t use to search for transaction details but rather a block explorer is used instead.
