They go to the miners


It goes to the address where you mistakenly sent it! it's not exactly "lost" as well as it has just moved to an address where you don't hold the private key hence is inaccessible to you.

Bitcoin transactions are irreversible so it's up to the person on the other end whether they wanna give it back which in most cases, they don't. But fear not because prevention is better than cure.

I was a part of previous week

Perhaps the page has loaded prematurely or something?

I have traveled to places with shit connection and sometimes, some pages do not load properly hence I would see some parts of the website break and I have to refresh -- I'm not primarily talking about bitcointalk but websites I've encountered in general.

I thought the same last night as I checked it before going to sleep however, I'm afraid the error has shown up again, same with RU being the default language. I added a gif.

You could also look through merchant directories such as:

1. cryptwerk.com
2. spendbitcoins.com

[keep in mind that not everything listed will be legitimate, watch out for scams]

or look into gift card providers instead, see list: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5208530.0

I kept getting the following error whenever I try to change the language to english, strange.


I tried with a different browser, IPs, device and had the same error.

On that note, I think it's a good idea to set the language to english by default since you're planning to cater globally.

I believe this is the main culprit as well. Because had they been getting a good flow of trading volume, it's likely they'll be able to hold out during the crypto winter like other companies.


You must have missed that paxful came back! try accessing the website again

I can't speak for other people but I go on dex or pseudo-dex for the better security and privacy which most of these centralized exchanges won't be able to offer because they're fully custodial with KYC and AML polices which mind you, varies on extent as some may be relatively strict compared to others.

But honestly, as for swapping, I don't think it's necessarily a dex capability. I view it as an in general exchange thing.

If I understand correctly, op is selling clues for crypto recovery which is apparently from facebook ads? if so, that's effin scammy.

Sadly, this has been going on for years.

Btw, you may wanna check @stafstor's thread who is actively fighting freewallet.


If you haven't gotten your money back, you might as well exhaust your options.

Note: if you click the quote, you'll be redirected to the whole thread [of theirs].

Don't think too much about it. It's not uncommon for new businesses to have inflated claims as an attempt to improve their image or for clout.

Right now, there is nothing much to see to support such claim. They're not bringing anything new on the table nor doing aggressive promotions. I also noticed, they have a mandatory KYC which ask for a lot, see: https://explore.m2.com/guide/how-to-sign-up-for-a-personal-account- when you could find many exchanges with lighter requirements.

I think we also have to aknowledge how having a NO mandatory kyc at the start gives a huge boost to new exchanges when it comes to building userbase.

Op's next post after what you quoted was them affiriming everything has been solved. Idk if it was through shoppy's help or the mempool just eased up though. as you may have noticed, these two posts had a 10 day gap.

What about the suggestion/s mentioned before in this thread, have you tried them? particularly CFFP if you have the PK of the receiving address or viabtc if conditions are met.

Where was your IP? I just tried with the most likely country to be redirected -- USA and I was right, I got redirected lol. I tried a couple of other countries and they worked fine -- NL, SG, JP, AUS, UK.

It's interesting that I can't seem to access sideshift's terms or service page. Dropping it on urlscan.io returns an error as well. I wonder if they're in the middle of changing some stuff.

I find it funny how CZ wrote "Real Event" on his tweet. I can't speak for others but stuff like that has the opposite effect on me lol e.g. scammers writing no scam

Also, am I the only one who can't find this sensational news on most popular crypto (or in general) news outlets?


I hate to make this worse for you but... you'll find more stories here, see: Known Physical Bitcoin Attacks -- and since this has an emphasis on bitcoin +the unreported cases, there are absolutely more than this list has.

I'm leaning towards there's no problem at all. and indeed, perhaps they'll be exploring other areas of marketing as well.

They have been running the campaign for a long time and have established a good standing hence it's not a long shot to think Roobet may have thought it's fine to ease up on signature campaign.

Count me in if I'm not too late 🫡

Save the best for last, amirite?

Oh okay, just wanted to make sure this wasn't one of the blatant scam attempts.


I would also suggest confirming with the company -- where your coins were mistakenly sent if they have filed a claim, otherwise the chances are a bit...uhhhh. I'm also assuming they're willing to send your money back once they have it?

Can't say anything about getting a full refund from FTX but the liquidation of assets have been handed to authorities/law firm so victims are likely to get some money back, just not sure on the exact percentage of course.

This sounds concerning, op. Could you elaborate your situation? and perhaps name the parties involved?

So, they sent your money to a FTX account that is not yours, correct? what for? and how sure are you that they actually sent money there? In addition, if they did not submit their claims, I'm afraid they're waiting for nothing.

It worked fine on my end as well -- firefox with vpn on

Does the problem persist with a different browser, on a different device and/or internet connection? If you have a VPN enabled, playing with servers and disabling might help as well.
