Hi Guys,
Im in a panic here!
I accidentally sent my bitcoins from my localbitcoins.com account to my send address & NOT my request address in multibit!
There has been 4 confirmations on the blockchain and I really dont know what i should do next?
Silly mistake i know, but was so easy to make
Have i lost my coins or can they be recovered?
What exactly is a send address? I don't use multibit, I am using bitcoin-core. And in bitcoin-core there is an address book of addresses that belong to you on which you can receive and send bitcoin and then there is the address book for outgoing addresses in which any address that you ever sent bitcoin to is stored, those do NOT belong to you.
If that is the similiarity then you have sent your bitcoin to someone else. And most likely you have used multibit before to send bitcoin to that address and should know who it belongs to.
If that is not a similar thing and "send" and "request" are just names given to addresses for convenience reasons in multibit then you should be good because bitcoin per say doesn't know such a thing as addresses that are only used for sending and addresses only used for receiving. An address is an address is an address and serves both purposes: You can receive bitcoin on any address you own and you can send bitcoin from any address you own.
