According to NIST and ECRYPT II, the cryptographic algorithms used in
Bitcoin are expected to be strong until at least 2030. (After that, it
will not be too difficult to transition to different algorithms.)

is there any way to contact block chain
This is left as an excercise to the reader. i.e. if you can't even manage to contact them, I can fully understand how you messed up in the first place (and no, it's no justification) |

^ thank you. Does block chain have the resources to reimburse me.
As far as I know… this is not my fault and 110% block chain fault.
Tell me again how this is Blockchain.infos fault? You did confuse the "amount" field with the "fee" field and then CONFIRMED the popup. so?.... If i fucked up, and no one helps my oopsie… it makes everything bitcoin look bad. A giant ugly mole on its face that keeps growing. |

Don't always blame others. NO, it was not 110% blockchain.infos fault, it was yours. The only way to get your money back is to contact the miner who mined it. But you are not able to do that obviously. |

This sounds like you made the “mistake” on purpose in order to try to give Blockchain.info or Bitcoin itself bad reputation. However, that's not the way things work. |
An economy based on endless growth is unsustainable.

Take responsibility for your mistake, contact the miner. If they are a decent human being (I think most miners are) you'll probably get it returned.

This is a really unfortunate mistake... They should have sanity checks for such things in the client OP was using....
Well ... it will always the problem with "virtual" wallet (mtgox ?). That why bitcoin core exist, too... not only for server and node features but for wallet managment, too. |

apparently OP went to "custom send" (the advanced part of the sending on BCI) and then put in the fee in the field where the amount goes in and vice versa. Then he confirmed the popup once again warning him.
OKay ...  |

But Blockchain.info is no hosted wallet. It is a browserside wallet that has a encrypted backup hosted on their server. Without access to your keys they can't really scam you, also it is very powerful if you know what you do! BTW: BTC core doesn't do sanity checks too if you use coincontrol  , so standard core = standard BCI sending! |

Things like this incident make me really wonder whether people would actually want to use Bitcoin. There's no one you can call or contact if you screwed up. I think people like someone to look over their shoulder and pay attention that they don't screw up or at least that the banks can still revert the transaction. |

I hope you will get the BTC back. Yeah, he has to try and contact the miner/pool that mined the respective block. I guess there really have been instances where they actually did pay the transaction fee back! But then again, 0.2 BTC isn't that much and I don't know if they bother. But it could be positive PR for them. |

Truth is, no bitcoin wallet is truly noobproof. While some exchanges make buying a bitcoin really easy, I can't think of a single wallet that explains to it's users how to use it.

Yeah sure, but 0.2 BTC aren't exactly enough to get on the front page of /r/bitcoin for example. The guy who send 800 BTC to Gox got there of course, and when Gox's attorneys actually returned those BTC it made another round. But 0.2 BTC... meh... |
