Title: [SUMO] Typos (?) in transfer command - but is this address valid?
Post by: crazydoc72 on December 28, 2017, 03:03:54 PM
 Hi!

I donīt know how I did that, but obviously, I made two typos in the transfer command of the sumokoin-wallet-cli. show_transfers gives me this output concerning the transfer:

Code:
83980    out       2017-12-25        127.287463097 7ca222c019c19d874e708f8632510d24c78f7612fea7e378accd676f18e4a113 2cf9e71869d687a229ec93aa118734eb8402e87513db39f4845adfc4bdf7acb4    0.009013600 SuboWJPwEx7dGexqvoCrRMANcZEhRxaV3E3JuBQyWw6zBkBu25DwixVEbRggH9KLNuZ8rCW5YhvaBjTG6pvK4US41RkhmgsF62: 127.287463097 0 -


Shouldnīt the receiving address start with "Sumo", not with "Subo"? And the address is one character shorter than the other addresses I have sent to. I really donīt understand how two "typos" could happen during Cut & Paste... Itīs also interesting that the cli-wallet has accepted this address! Is it even valid?

So is it possible to recover the lost coins (this should be a transfer to my Cryptopia account)?

Well, I did some investigation. Sumokoin block explorer says:

Code:
Canīt find xmr address: SuboWJPwEx7dGexqvoCrRMANcZEhRxaV3E3JuBQyWw6zBkBu25DwixVEbRggH9KLNuZ8rCW5YhvaBjTG6pvK4US41RkhmgsF62

Although, block explorer also says, that block 83980 is a normal, valid block. How is it possible to send coins to an invalid and therefore non-existing address?
