So, you have a friend that was going to send you $4400.00 of BTC? Hell of a friend. Then you looked in the console of Electrum and gave your "friend" the donation address for the Electrum server as yours? You have got to realize how that sounds, right?
Post the Transaction here for us to help verify it with you. If true you can contact the server sponsor. BTC transactions are irreversible, but the receiver of the funds can send them back.

I worded my concerns too casually I suppose. Thank you for the quick follow up. |

Well the transaction posted by shorena matches the description in the original post, and for someone whose native language is not english it might be possible to mistake a "donation address" appearing somewhere within the electrum client as the address to which receiving payments should be sent.
Contacting the server operator is most likely the only possible way of getting the payment back. Don't know whether he would be willing to send you that amount without some reasonable proof that the money was indeed intended for you and not for him. A good proof would be a signed message from your friend using one of the addresses from which the transaction inputs came. However, apparently your friend sent from an online wallet or other service, at least there are many outputs to different addresses in the transaction, which is atypical for a single payment from a wallet, so he will most likely not be able to provide such a signed message.

I actually feel pretty good about someone running an Electrum server. I don't know them but I don't hear horror stories about Electrum server folks. I am betting that if you can satisfy their desire to emphatically prove the mistake you will get made "whole" by them. I have never heard of anyone donating 5.9 BTC to an Electrum server. so that alone seems to stand out to me.

If you cannot get them to respond then there is not much anyone can do. We cannot reverse it and only the receiver can send them back. If he don, then sorry. Nothing we can do. If your friend ever does gets the coins back to resend them to you, sure in hell be careful because the next person who receives it may not be that nice and would just ignore your messages.
