Anything I can do to get it back? It is still in pending status.

If you see this transaction (even unconfirmed) at blockchain.info, nothing can be done  Sad

If not, contact Coinbase if they can cancel the transaction

FYI,
Here is what happened:

Quote
When you start typing in the send to textbox in the send bitcoin page on coinbase they use an auto-complete javascript script to show similar addresses, where those come from I don't know.

The first 3 characters where close enough to mine that I simply clicked it without confirming that it was my main address and then proceeded to click on the send bitcoin button, bitcoins gone, poof! $184+ down the drain.

The address in question is: 1NSXoRoP8g2uGzUB8YjUKC9uC5ZWP5TH4i

Does it say "pending?" or "unconfirmed" or "confirmed"?

If it's pending, I think you can contact support, or you might even get it back without contacting, if the other side doesn't accept the payment.

You made Satoshi one bitcoin richer.

Unless you can contact him there's nothing you can really do without spending a lot more than 1 BTC to recover it.

This is how awesome CoinBase is,



For those of you on the fence for using coinbase, this is how a real startup treats their customers... I am looking at you BFL and TerraHash!

This is really nice.
I almost feel like making a wallet in coinbase now.

( emphasis on the almost )

No longer active on bitcointalk, however, you can still reach me via PMs if needed.
