I was trying to send btc to another address. But mistakenly sent it to my own address using the same wallet. Is it possible to send bitcoin from your wallet to your own wallet using the same account, if yes what will happen to the coin.

Which wallet service/software are you using? You should be seeing an "incoming transaction", since you are receiving Bitcoins from yourself.

Regardless, if you just sent coins to another address that is inside your wallet (and that you have control), you will be able to spend them normally.

in brief your problem is,you're sending your own coin into your own wallet right ?
i think it's not problem,and actually you should get it in a second if nothing goes wrong.
and are you sure that's your own wallet without any mistakes in the address ?
because if the trx didn't come through to your wallet that mean something wrong happen.

should be no problem actually

I don't think that should be a problem.
Your transaction will be handled like any other.
You will get your coins transfered to your own wallet.
The only thing negative for you is that you will pay the transaction fees.
But those will be not too high I suppose.

As others have mentioned, I imagine you shouldn't have any issues doing this and that the transactions would process like any other. That would make sense at least.

As long as you control the address that you've sent it to, you will have no problems as it basically is under your possession. Also, may I know what wallet are you using? Most wallets change the address when you completed a tx (sent coins to another address).

There is nothing wrong with doing that. This is what people do for coin control with altcoins to help them stake per block. It just sends straight into your address. Tour bitcoins should be there. Are you making this thread because they not there ?

Let us know. We can help you more. Your coins should just be returned to you.

At least it's not a costly mistake. Until you control your own second address.
Your loss are only the transaction fees. In most wallet you could even spend unconfirmed transactions and send it immediately to the right address. There is not need to wait for confirmation in situation like this.

I dont see any problem in this. you will lost only transaction fee. question is if you are receiving them back to your account. if not, try to write here more details. many users can help you to solve your problem.

I can compare what happened to you the same way as someone sent an sms/mms to his/her own number.
Of course you will incur services charges but thats certain regardless whom you sent it too...
But it will still arrive to your wallet no matter what...

This is a great and rekevent way to explain it. The OP should take more care in doibke and triple and even more checking the sending address is correct otherwise this could have been easily sent to some random address. Also do not count on your PC that the copy and paste will paste the same thing as you copied. Even then diligenis required and you should still check it since you get nasty malware that when you copy and paste it pastes the hackers address and of coarse you don't see this and press send and then it is too late.

If your using a QT Wallet you should be able to list by address in the Debug Console.
Example follows:



17:28:15

listreceivedbyaddress 0 true


17:28:15

[
{
"address" : ".....Pjsgz2Q6q1uDdvLqPom1WnRBRhwXz",
"account" : "Collection 002",
"amount" : 1000.00000000,
"confirmations" : 1156
},
{
"address" : ".....AQsgEb6W7Pc76g18Bq6J9cw5m8dt",
"account" : "Collection 001",
"amount" : 9008.00000000,
"confirmations" : 2635
}
]

Everything should be fine. Do not worry about that! The most importing thing is that address you've sent bitcoin is yours. So, you control your keys and can use again

Do you think he'd be deducted for the transaction fee?

I wonder why his wallet didn't warn him about the wallet address he is about to send his coin the same as the origin. Wallet dev should have see such mistakes which is why they could have avoided if there is a warning about it.

It is totally fine, I've sent coins from the same address to the exact same address in the past for testing purposes.
The only downside of this situation will be that you will have to pay a transaction fee for this transfer - and that is basically all.
If you would have send your coins to some random other address, it will be a total disaster, as the coins would be most likely forever lost.
