i have a phobia since i lost a few 8 btc while doing one transfer once. i copy to clipboard more than twice now before sending the person the address to transfer. but even tho, i still am anxious that the coins wont be in my wallet. or my wallet will mysteriously make the address dissapear if i close it. so i wait all confirmation first before closing the wallet. and even after that, i open it again to see if its still there. (had 26.7btc transferred to me few minutes ago and i noticed that phobia of mine)

anyone with any kind of phobia around that subject?

No.... but how you lost 8 btc?
Its a  :'( nice amount :(

i was so stupid to copy every single characters of the address to send it to the person. but it was 1 year ago. #lessonlearnt

At first I thought this thread was about something else...  :D

Every single time I send a transaction I watch it like a hawk. I've had troubles in the past whereas ive lost quite a bit bitcoins also. I totally understand where you are coming from. The only thing that helps me is being a medical marijuana patient, keeps my nerves down :)

So did I!

Thats why I had to click on it. Glad I was not the only one thinking probably what we were both thinking!!! LOL!   ::)

When I send coins from exchange to exchange first I check both exchanges wallets, and then the coin's blockchain on a block explorer look at the blocktime on the last few blocks. Then I find myself checking the addresses on the blockchain and see it before the receiving exchange  even notices the deposit etc. etc.

I also check my addresses atleast twice looking at the first few and last few characters of the address..

I suppose you could say I'm paranoid about it too.

I get very worked up about both types of receiving but amyl nitrate helps me relax no matter what's about to pound me.

I'm have used alcohol for relaxing in those situations..

I burned all my Doge, from then on I triplecheck.

Who is not nervous when sending big transactions..
Once i forget to place fee, but transaction was small, after few days was confirmed..
Totally shocked i was..

Opened this expecting gay porn,what gives?
 ;D

The larger the amount the more I worry about transfers and the price changing as I wait. Think both work on my nerves equally.

Problem is when you waiting in front of screen.
Go outside and take a walk..It is good for pressure.

story of my life. lol

Hahahaha! Same here!

But this is such a horror story - losing 8BTCs. Anyhow, you're still here. Everything will work out don't worry.

learn by mistake. ive got a few now :)

Very very sad story bro...  :'(

its not sad, i was stupid -_- never try to write the address, always copy to clipboard

I no how loss is. Mt Gox vic here. I do the same. Every transfer, every time, triple check.

I lost over 3 btc at Cryptsy.  As far as sending and receiving btc, I copy and paste but always worry that something goes wrong.

true!

how deep did the shovel go?

Yap. But its really hard if u dont have ur own account on banks to claim ur own money.

8 btc is a lot of money to lose...  I need to be extra careful now dealing with btc...
However I crosscheck all my transactions many times before confirming and never lost any penny till now.. :)

at today's prices high 6 figures.

Yes, me definitely.
We sometimes copy bitcoin addresses from the net to do some transaction checking. And if by some chance, those addresses remain in your clipboard, and you don't copy the destination address properly, you can say goodbye to your bitcoins.
