Title: Sent Btc to wrong address!?!?! help
Post by: uck on April 06, 2013, 07:59:21 PM

  I made a large mistake recently and sent two transactions to the wrong address.

  on 3/25 for 5 btc and again on 3/26 for 10 btc to 1CNgRULaq7PVenr5x3CpbYqQ1kkVaoKopy

  Here are the transactions:
     
        a8c43f870c65e1a3682f1d1dda3ae9e74df94b7ef4d7e051c16586211d56fdb6
        0137f5963394ddfc50e9eb50a989bcfbe62aed5e3a57cbd19abba89a5836a73f

Anybody with better sleuthing ability than me know how to locate this person or company to ask for a refund?


Thanks if you can help!

How did you come to use that address? Did you send the 16.8 BTC to that address back in May 2011?

it was listed in my wallet, but didnt have any 'description' attached... i cut and pasted and thought i had the right one but didnt.    I probably did make that prev purchase.

it's decentralized, uhm, so, that's bad. by posting this address here, you make it discoverable by the receiver via google. that's your best hope, i fear …

I looked at my old old transactions from may of 11 and i think what happened was,  every day, after recieving 16 or 20 btc (you got alot then) i would transfer it to mtgox. So I suspect those were mtgox addresses.

But i looked at my acct and i dont see that amount transfereed in, so i imagine they dont use that address anymore. Sooo, I will have to get with them to iron this out. Oh fun.
