Title: Can you tell me who ended up with my btc?
Post by: uck on October 18, 2013, 02:32:39 AM

I goofed and sent money to the wrong address back in March. TWICE. (Ugh.)  Any detectives out there good at figuring out where I sent it?   

Here are the transactions:  The first one from 2011 is a Hint. It was valid. The one for 5 btc and 10 btc were the ones I should not have sent.

1btc reward if I recover it all.

Well who did you send it to in 2011? It will be the same person. Just remember who you sent it to, and ask them to send it back. My guess is that it is an exchange, probably MtGox.

How exactly you expect to recover those?

I thought I had figured it out, thought it was Mt Gox, but they denied it.

You must have a lot of BTC to have this careless mistake twice. I mean those 5 to 10 BTC feels like few sen to you?

2 steps down from the 2011 transaction there is a transaction with the change going to a "super address" or more likely a "super wallet" (wallet transferring over 10,000 BTC).  If you find out who owns this address you may be able get your coins back.

Hope this helps

btclook says "No transactions have ever been observed on this address."

Use https://blockchain.info/address/1CNgRULaq7PVenr5x3CpbYqQ1kkVaoKopy instead.

No way to get it back, case closed...
