This could have easily been a 'fat-finger' error on my part (but even if I did add an extra "0" to the USD amount) - I think a confirmation would be a good idea!

Entered: $10 or at the time about .07 BTC, instead sent .77 BTC! ...lucky it's someone I know ... and he won't be getting his headphones back until he pays me back  Wink

Issues:

There is no "Are you sure?" pop-up on the send-money box! Be careful.

Has anyone else had this issue? Ways to mitigate it?

Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

NM - I actually sent it to myself (on accident) and it appears that it automatically sent the entire balance received on that address to (to myself) because the destination address was one in the same wallet.

It's in the block-chain and getting confirmations though ... which is weird to me?
