Hasn't happened but, I would like to warn everyone about a virus that changes the bitcoin addresses - just before you hit send.

It tracks the mouse movement and when its near the Send button, it changes the bitcoin address to the hacker's address. So, everyone please be careful and install latest anti-virus and anti-malware softwares onnly.

I have never heard of that virus before? It is a good idea to keep updates on your anti-virus software before losing a ton of money.

Hello author! I'll never heard about sending by mistake because we copy and paste all the addresses but I heard about some person who know all their  he would remember every detail I mean all the addresses all he kept in hes mind. But mostly people just copy and paste all the keys and addresses. It's very hard send it by mistake but maybe you was copy not all ...

[annbagira]

..the address without  the one or more numbers. Maybe all you need to do it's check it twice or more time and send little amounts to be sure that address are real and etc. Of course if you know all the detail about recipient then you can explain that it was just mistake and maybe (000000,1%) he or she send to you all it back but I am not sure.

Nope, I hope not, never  
If you are lucky you might find the owner of the address on google, even though most likely you wouldn't  

[btcdepo]

if it has happened, good luck. as long as you don't have contact information of the owner of that wallet, money has gone just you have to say by by. if you have the contact information then you hope that person is good person and can send your money back.

Like everyone said, it's very hard to mess up the address since everyone's is so unique. If it happens to get sent to someone else, well then you're kinda screwed.

No, haven't made a mistake like that and i hope i won't, I always try to be more careful specially here, once you made a mistake and sent the money to the wrong address, it's over unless the person who received it sends it back to you which is very unlikely to happen.

[agorkems]

I would suggest looking at the first 2 characters, numbers and the last 2 just to be sure. And always do a double check before transferring out. It is precious and valuable stuff!

It's easy to make mistakes with bitcoin addresses so you have to be careful. Bitcoin transactions are irreversible so unless you know the person that got the bitcoin accidentaly there is not much you could do about it. Luckily that has never happened to me but I always check the addresses twice, even if I send to that address many times.

Never did happened to me. And I think will never have such kind of mistake.

Just wondering how this mistake will happened. I mean when you are sending to anyone, you will copied someone address. How come you will copied other person's address if your purpose is to send it to your friend which literally will told you that "this" is their address.

I did that once before when it didn't have much value, like late-early this year. I did try my best to get assistance on its retrieval but was told it was gone! I was just surprised because I thought I had done all the appropriate checks. But I am of the opinion that if bitcoin is mistakenly/wrongly sent to a wrong address, there should be a way to have it reversed; Since there is a transaction chain.

Basically a transaction on bitcoin can not be canceled, be careful in doing any transaction. If we mistakenly send coins to people we know does not matter, but if sent to an address you do not know, then no one can help, because the exchanger can not care because all the wallet security is yours.

Never happened with me so far.
I am always very cautious while sending a payment with bitcoin or any other crypto.
I don't know I am crazy or not, but I always check 5-10 times of the recipient's address to make sure everything is fine.

I never faced this type of problem because i check multiple time both the wallet address after that only i confirm the transaction until then i dont transact it.

Never happened to me.  It would be impossible to send bitcoin to someone by mistake.  I copy the bitcoin address and then paste it.  That action will be hard to have a mistake.  So if you said you do it wrong, maybe it is the other way around.  Your friend sent you an address that is not belongs to him

So it could happen to you too  
there is a virus that changes copy/pasted bitcoin addresses in the clipboard.
If you do not read the address carefully after pasting, then the address you paste can be different than the address you copied.

Quite sneaky.

[martina14]

always double check the address you will send to because this cryptoo has no refundwith any lost you made ! it is always your fault but its a lesson learned after all so you knoow what to do next time!

[cryptomium]

I do not think I ever send money someone by mistake. I always double check the address before I clicked the send button making sure that I entered the correct address.  We should be careful and double check the address before we send the transaction because in cryptocurrency the transaction made is irreversible.

[gabbie2010]

It has never happen to me, I think this is one of the feature of bitcoin i.e it is very secured.
People hardly make a mistake of copying a wrong address while sending bitcoin, although if this happens it could be difficult getting it back because how do we trace the recipient of the bitcoin?  And it is obvious that the transaction is irreversible.

[marjoree]

If that happened to me, that would really break my heart. It may be important sending that money to a friend and what if thats one of the lasts bitcoin you got right? Thats an unacceptable happening. I mean its hard to get that back if it can be back
