If i send my bitcoins to a wrong address, what happens?

[Sadlife]

Well most likely that address will receive the bitcoins that you have mistakenly sent and once a transaction is made in bitcoin it can't be reverse like paypal that can be used for scams. That's when sending bitcoin to someone you should always double check or triple check to avoid this kinds of disasters.

Hi!
As the title says, what happens if i get an address wrong? Do the coins get lost?
If that's what happens, why not change the code in Bitcoin, so that if the bitcoin network cant detect that address, returns the bitcoins to you?

Its either their lost specially if you don't know the address you've sent to or just withdraw it in that wallet and withdraw the coins.

this is a joke or what , If you sent your bitcoins to a wrong address in that case you will be lost your coins and you cant refund your balance .

Jika kita mengirim bitcoin ke alamat yang salah, maka kita tidak akan mendapatkan apa apa dan koin kita tidak akan kembali,mimpi kita untuk mendapatkan coin sebanyak banyanya akan lenyap.

If you send bitcoins to a wrong address you lost your money because there is no no way to find who picked it up and no legal recourse to ask for it back.

Its gone.

Bye bye BTC. Its a very good day for him.

According to their policy, you cannot recover any amount once you already send it. In other words your money will receive by anonymous person cannot be subject of restitution of a thing.
Through this we need to check every detail and review it wisely to avoid some mistakes like this.

Other people will receive that bitcoin instead to a person that you intentionally want to give it. In this scenario, you have right to claim it again because in the first place it is your negligence not in the side of bitcoin.

[Hamilcar]

If the transaction is passed, your bitcoins are gone forever. I hope the lesson you learned worth the lost money.

As what I see in bitcoin wallet, they always warns the users to be careful enough  in every transaction that they will enter using their services; because once you send it in a wrong address you have no right to get it again and the one who receives the bitcoin cannot enforce to get it back again.

That's right. It is very critical to trade in bitcoin because once you send in the wrong address it will not refunded. You will lose the amount the moment you do that. The reason why always ask if surely it is the correct address, and you have to check it properly before depositing or withdrawing it.

[bribed]

The coins dont get lost, but they wont be accessible anymore. Its like loosing something in the deep sea. You know its still there, but wont be able to get hold of it anymore. Always double check addresses you are sending to.

[tegalrejo]

Of course you lost your bitcoin after you send it to the wrong wallet, because once you make transaction then the transaction can't be canceled, and you can't refund your bitcoin again, that's the reason why if we do transaction we always reminded if our wallet address is correct.

Of course it will get lost and there's no chance for you to get your bitcoin back even if you complain to any one. Bitcoin transactions cannot be undone and I doubt if some one would be kind enough to return bitcoin that you would receive for free. That's why you should be careful when sending bitcoin.

There would be no way for you to undo transactions that are already confirmed. Sending your bitcoin to a wrong address is also the same as losing your bitcoin. That's why when sending bitcoin, make sure to double check the address before sending, so that you can avoid sending your bitcoin to a stranger.

Hard to follow, where did the address you sent to come from?

It's not really possible to typo a wrong address, and neither will anyone else have/generate the same address. If the address was supplied to you by an exchange, you should be able to contact them and have it returned to your account.

[Jombrangs]

As the per action or warning of bitcoin wallet, they always gives reminder to their users to be careful enough  in every transaction that they will enter using their services;
because once you send it in a wrong address you have no right to get it again and the one who receives the bitcoin cannot enforce to get it back again.

If the wrong destination wallet address can not be restored, one of the Bitcoin goals used is that no party anywhere in the world can take, disrupt, stop, cancel the Bitcoin user transaction. If the transaction can still be controlled by the other party then be the same as traditional money.

Try checking the gadget / computer that sends it, what virus / malware / script that automatically change the destination address bitcoin, so it does not happen again, but if it is wrong because the check is negligent before send ya finally this incident can only be a lesson.

In Bitcoin trading between individuals, it is highly confidential, people will not be able to know the trader's information because there is only one address to trade. Therefore carefully check the address before transaction because once transferred, it is impossible to get the transferred BTC number. So in this case you have lost the number of BTC you have traded, it is experience so you will not be like that in subsequent transactions.

What's more to do, it's lost forever until the receiving address holder decides to resend it to the address from which it got received. Lot of users might have lost because of being careless, also this is very rare to happen, because a single letter change will not end up in getting transacted to some other address. Mostly that'll get reported as wrong bitcoin address.
