There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

^I confirm this as the escrow. Apparently OP copied the wrong address for me from the firstbits system where 17ifsBMD96wHNgEmhwPkMhhepWkjX4jrQ5 was reserved first.  |

Apparently, 17ifs was not parked, but part of a steganographic message that happened to include it. The address might well belong to nobody at all. ugh...

Most probably lost forever. Depending on the message maybe provable to be lost forever. Add that to the list of lost BTC. |

An escrow of 42 BTC was accidentally released to 17ifsBMD96wHNgEmhwPkMhhepWkjX4jrQ5. If you are the owner of this address, please send the 42 BTC back to 17ifsWDxf1JmaCvqjhufnUvJM9fUBAD2Cr, thanks!
So are you basically saying, you wanted to carry out a transaction using John K as an escrow service, John K told you to send the BTC to 17ifsWDxf1JmaCvqjhufnUvJM9fUBAD2Cr and you typed '17ifs' into some database that shows first bits of previous addresses that have been used in transactions, it came back with 17ifsBMD96wHNgEmhwPkMhhepWkjX4jrQ5 and you hit the send button...? Because using the copy and paste function that's part of any modern OS was too much work? If so, you are truly an imbecile. And now around $3000 poorer. But thank you for making the rest of us bitcoin owners a little bit richer. So you'll be checking those long jumbles of letters more carefully from now on, yes? ETA: just seen your sig. You're asking people who send you money to hold your hand while you try to keep track of all those difficult strings of letters. Fucking hell. Look, if you genuinely have Alzheimer's or something then I apologise for my remarks. If you don't, then consider them written in stone in 6ft tall letters outside your house. |

If you EVER lose any bitcoins again in your entire life, I will gloomily concede that I was no help at all. |

Look, if you genuinely have Alzheimer's or something then I apologise for my remarks. If you don't, then consider them written in stone in 6ft tall letters outside your house. Nope, the sequence of events were like this: 1) I received escrow at my address from buyer 2) Transaction success, I ask for address from seller 3) I release the funds to the address given 4) Turns out address were erroneous, and everything else is history. Also, the dissing isn't warranted. I'm sure he's not the only one who used a wrong address before, either in BTC land or even in real world mails. |

Wow  $3192.42 down the drain. So if the address doesn't exist, is it possible that it will be generated in the future? What a lottery that would be! |

I will take a moment of silence for the forever trapped BTC.  |
It seemed like a good idea at the time.

The network doesn't know which addresses exist or not, because you can create addresses offline. Thus, coins are sent normally. If nobody owns that address, the coins are effectively lost. |
