What address did you send it too.

Coins did not go to an incorrect address. Money went to wrong Gox account - MtGox Account #2.

Above casascius says: "account #2 is 2,Babylon,babylon_horuv@lycos.com". And he is right. Gox is hemming and hawing and saying the transaction failed and that coins never reached them or they respond with gibberish.  Biggest problem with gox seems to be language barrier.

I don't know what to do:

Gox:  Transaction never reached their system
Rachel in Charlie's office:  Transaction lost in Bitinstant system
Charlie:  I've copied Nat from MtGox who needs to freeze the account (whatever that means)

This has been going on since 29 september

I do not mean to be causing a fuss.  I apologize for my ignorance, stupidity, carelessness & for not triple checking the Send To account number.  I am an idiot...

Thank you all for your help - really appreciate it!

I'm saying pam pam pam becuase you took a private matter in a public channel.

and I'm saying welcome to bitcoin cause thinks like sending to the wrong address happen.   You're going to lose bitcoin.  it is unfortunate but it happens.  I think there was a guy around here that send like 10,000 BTC to the wrong address!  I think he did manage to fine that.  There is a thread in here somewhere you can read all about.

but unless you know who controls the private key to that address (public key) you are out of luck.

How much was it?

I apologize for the breach of Forum etiquette but I am exasperated. Charlie is ignoring me. He never said the coins could not be retrieved. 

It's an insignificant amount of money - about 100 USD. 

Do you agree that someone has my coins?  Someone with Gox account number "2"?? 

If you tell me that the coins are gone for good I will delete this post. 

Thank you very, very much  Cry

Pam, Pam, Pam.


..... welcome to bitcoin.....

Excuse me, BCB?  You seem to know quite a lot about this. Are you saying I am never going to get my coins??  

If that is the case, why is Rachel in Charlie's office telling me in an email that the coins "are lost" in their system?

And, the Gox account number that I used is a single digit number.  Is there any such thing as a single digit Gox account? I am not yet ready to believe that someone else received my coins but I don't know what happened to them.


Thank you.

Hello, I am obviously a newbie, I am looking for help from Yankee at Bitinstant to resolve an issue that has been outstanding since the 29 September. I have exchanged at least 20 emails with Bitinstant staff to avail.  Have I exchanged a half dozen emails with MtGox support.  My coins never reached MtGox. I have been waiting since 29 September for resolution. Thank you ~
