Title: Transaction sent back to address from which I received 1st trn.
Post by: michal-j on December 12, 2017, 09:42:18 AM
Hi all.
I have already find out that I have lost my BTC with this transaction, but I need to ask. Is there any chance that I can find person who owns this deposit address? 1Ltob7Pm2J6xyGteXpTjmSaBf1ph75LrEK

On 15th of November I have made a transfer (about 0.16btc) from WEX to Blockchain. This transaction came from 1Ltob7Pm2J6xyGteXpTjmSaBf1ph75LrEK address. After few days I just wanted to send my transaction back to WEX so I did not use address from WEX account but I just sent transaction back to 1Ltob7Pm2J6xyGteXpTjmSaBf1ph75LrEK. You know, in normal bank your account is still your account.. https://blockchain.info/tx/74b1daee8961276e1966ee882f4aceaf7cf7a699fc6fd03e13f6989a7d648104

Is there any chance that this address is just some virtual address and I will receive my transaction back in some days, weeks, months? :)

anyway, thank you for all your advices!

ps: if you are reading this and you did receive it please send it back here 139DaZohBG9gGonsqHtEyPyLz8GW5ke4Jn

thanks!

You should contact WEX support. They might help you.

But the address you sent the BTC back to belongs to wex or is controlled by wex. ask them to recover/give your coins back. 0.16 BTC(~$2600) isn't a small amount.

I just received message from WEX support that this address 1Ltob7Pm2J6xyGteXpTjmSaBf1ph75LrEK is not their address....

Do you have any other idea?  ???

~ so I did not use address from WEX account but I just sent transaction back to 1Ltob7Pm2J6xyGteXpTjmSaBf1ph75LrEK. You know, in normal bank your account is still your account..
Bitcoin is electronic cash. What you did, is like (anonymously) putting your money back in the bank's cash register, instead of depositing it into your account.

In this case, it looks like the exchange's address, which they use to consolidate other transactions to, then use it to pay withdrawals. Normally they use each address only once. (1Ltob7Pm2J6xyGteXpTjmSaBf1ph75LrEK (https://blockchain.info/address/1Ltob7Pm2J6xyGteXpTjmSaBf1ph75LrEK) was used twice because of your deposit back to that address.

I just received message from WEX support that this address 1Ltob7Pm2J6xyGteXpTjmSaBf1ph75LrEK is not their address....
I find this highly unlikely. I suggest to ask them to check again, they might have only checked customer's deposit addresses. If your initial withdrawal came from them, they must own that address.
