There isn't a way to fix this. Once you sent your funds to another address that is not belonged to you or not your intent to send to, then that's your fault and you technically lost the money. There's no way in fixing this kind of stuff.

I think that there are no such coins that check the address of the wallet before sending! At least I have not heard of such. If sent to the wrong address, you can simply forget about the coins. The recipient will be the user who will receive the key from the address in the future.

The odds of getting some free coins by accident is so high that you have a better chance of winning the lottery. It would be good if wallets implemented a verifier to see if the address is at least a valid one, if not the right one.

When the page is automatically translated in the browser, the wallet address changes. Some capital letters become small. I had this problem and because of that another person was unable to send me tokens. So I think that if you send a coin to a wallet that does not exist, it will not work.

In theory, there is a probability that you can guess someone's wallet address and send him some coin. But the question is whether it will be possible to send coins to a non-existent wallet. I don't think we can do that.

Nothing like checking receivers address, only if the address does not correlate with the type of coin you want to send e.g trying to send eth to a btc address, it won't go, apart from that, nothing can be done to stop it.

Hi guys

First of all - i haven't been sending anything to a wrong address, I Always Double check the addresses if not tripple check  Grin

But!
I've been thinking about all those post about people sending their coins to a wrong address - isn't there a way to fix this?  Smiley

What happens if you type in a wrong address and send it? - You probably just lost your coins. Someone might be lucky enough to have this address, otherwise your coins would be stuck in wallet controlled by no one.
Im not sure how the delegation of addresses works, but could i end up with a wallet with x amount of a coin in it just by creating new wallets?

Wallet addresses is a hexadecimal number, which cointains more possible addresses, than humans existing on the earth - Of course not 100% correct beacuse a coins address whould be same lenght +-
which will restrict the possible amount. Why? Because of safety? Or maybe the posibilty to scale the network?

is there any coins with some kind of function that checks if the recieving wallet address has ever been active? If not - Why? would it ruin any kind of privacy/anonymity?


You cant send to non existing address. So if you made a mistake like that is impossible. You can send on wrong address. So you simply need to be careful about that. If you want Bitcoin where you can change your mind, then that is not Bitcoin anymore.

yeah, i think like that too.
that is why we have to check it carefully before sending the token or coin to the destination address.

before sending anything, i always check it repeatedly so that there are no errors. because if just a little wrong, everything will disappear and can not be repaired again or returned to its original place.

It may be possible to randomly receive coins in your wallet if you create one but the probability is low. How often to people send coins to mistakenly to the same btc address. It's almost impossible bro. And i don't think at the moment there's a fix for sending to the wrong addresses. Best is to just make sure that every detail is correct before hitting that send button.

The most important thing is to carefully read the terms of the transfer of coins, they are different for all. I thus lost 1000 XLM Sad when translated to the exchange, all because I did not entered the word verification. It was my first experience with the translation of this coin, it gave me knowledge, now I check the addresses three times and carefully read the terms of the translations.

There's no way for it to recover mate because its already confirmed it to be sent to another wallet. even though you contact the support it's useless.  Much better to check it carefully not just triple time which is make sure all is correct.  

Actually copy pasting will be valid and trustworthy way .but im wondering why there are some ppl always sending to a wrong address, probably typing manually is the reason? Lol it's very risky.

Most people lost their coin as a result of errors during copying and pasting their ETH wallet address, the digits may become distorted and therefore goes to the wrong recipient or do not deliver anywhere at all.some even lost the coin during exchange. I have lost coin during exchange just because I wanted it to attain certain amount over a given time. Retrieving lost coin is not always feasible or easy,so it is better one try all not to experience it.

Indeed, playing in crypto is not easy if it has been sent incorrectly, the coin cannot return, it is automatic. So be careful for this, mistakes made must be a lesson so as not to repeat itself.

When you send to the wrong address, then it will not arrive at the right address. That is simple. Just imagine if you send a letter with the wrong address, will it arrive in the right address? I guess not Grin

So, a double check is a must for every people who want to send any coins and not just bitcoin only. I don't know if there is a way to reverse the transaction especially if the transaction is already getting 1 confirmation at the network.

This is a risk that we must bear and your digital assets will never come back again. This is the same as what I experienced that I sent a coin in the wrong wallet. This made me have a very important lesson for me. We must check before we make a transaction.

it really a big hurdle for the cryptoworld that techdummies feel unsafe using cryptocoins/wallets - because theres alot of them!
If you really want your coins to grow, you also gotta target the techdummies!

Oh people inadvertently lose $ 300,000))) And you say the coins are not sent there. Before we take any action, we need to make sure 10 times that everything has been done correctly. After all, this is infinite space and no one will return the money to you.

Exactly! - But its also one of the flaws in the crypto world! Lets say that the future payment method would be e.g btc worldwide for every human on the earth - its easy for me to see alot of lost bitcoins flying around in the network because the "techdummies" who needs to transfer lets just say 10$ wont check the address 10 times.

If its not easy to use, then you lose a lot of potential users.

I think there is a way to fix it but it will all depend on which address and platformsm you sent it too. In 2017,I rushed to withdraw digibyte from Poloniex to my Coinomi wallet and instead of copying digibyte address, I copied the address of digitalcoin. I contact Coinomi and they told me what to do to recover it back which I did and I get the coin back.

You can check that address if it has a recent transaction through blockchain itself and that's the explorer. But there's no way to know if that address is active or will have some sort of label as 'active address' besides that.

Most transactions that went wrong were probably a victim of a copy paste malware that pastes the hackers bitcoin address whenever you copy your address as receiver.
