Lost .2164 btc learn from my mistake

[panju1]

Send him a tiny amount of BTC just to test if he recieves it, because it was his fault the address was wrong. 

Transaction fees deter people from doing test transactions.

If by mistake someone typed 200.0 instead of 0.002,the receiver is gonna run away with your money

So basically I want newbies to learn from my poor mistake.

I made a mistake doing business with someone here, had given a wrong btc address. Why wrong? Naturally we all assume the btc address that someone provides is their wallet address and care to say wont do the search. Which this part is my mistake as well.

The actual transaction amount was 0.02164 - so this is another mistake for not double checking your "0"s.

Outside from the point the btc can sent back, if it was in their balance. So then I naturally assumed it was their btc address. The double screwed up part is when they provided a gambling btc address instead. Regardless if I sent the right amount, they would of never received it.


Overall summary:
1. Always check the zeros in sending btc amounts (triple check)
2. Check the btc address prior sending any btc is not a gambling address


Edit - since I got a lot of response based on this - just to clarify it wasnt for nothing - I sold a spare btctalk account to "Candystripes ". He sent me the wrong amount and I said I would send it back. Then provided me with a btc gambling address, which I sent.

I've learnt that the other way but yes, I'm always double checking the price, the adress... I lost about 1000 dogecoins because of sending them without checking.

I have lost some coins due to the same typo error, luckily it happened only a single time and I had the wallet almost empty.

Is that "gambling address" Candystripes' account deposit address on an off-chain gambling site?
 Or is it an on-chain gambling address?

on chain gambling address.

In that case, shouldn't that site consider your transaction a bet and return you some bitcoin back to your address for your profit or loss?

[Ramones]

what about copy & paste?
This would avoid errors in the amout.

Really sucks...

That depends on the receiver.

Not everyone in the world is an unethical thief and criminal.

Would you run away with the money?

the whole point is that he provided a fuken stupid gambling btc address. how was I supposed to know?

then say omg im sorry? wtf.

[Candystripes]

Well, that person would be me, I'm surprised cookie didn't PM me earlier about this thread. Doing my best to payback the money, I told him I would pay him back and I will (hopefully in the next 2 hours).

Can you give me a specific address you want me to send it to?

[Candystripes]

To clarify, I never gave him a gambling address. I had like 0.003 I was sending to satoshibones. As a habit I entered in 1 BTC (always do that to send my whole balance), boom I click confirm and it send .213, because blockchain didn't pick it up in time so I could see it. Loses at satoshibones (

I'm going to pay him back so no worries.

Yeah you can send btc here - 1CJKe4p3ckAuUMCZAwQr5gUDtPkL1HzwP4

But I doubt it.

Seeing your 1PenisUD72vZ8YEzUH6K5jrmaYr1w8qUKu transactions - you sent all your btc to lucky.bit trying to win btc. or forwarding to other btc address for your real balance.

I can also put out the endless conversations of weeks ago of broken promises.

You can check yourself you did provided in the conversation I posted.

This is not even a gambling address. This is an address that is used to gamble his money. If you look at the transactions on the address, you will see that there are several transactions sent to various luckybit addresses, as well as payout transactions when he won/lost.

I hate to say this buy you have been scammed.

Additionally, I believe that candystripes is running a signature campaign on behalf of someone else. i would strongly recommend contacting the owner of the site and let them know about the situation....hopefully the site will at the very least no longer require the services of candystripes

[Candystripes]

No worries guys, I paid him back!

You have a thread open requesting  a .1 loan. Is this related to that request?

You told him it was a gambling address and when you were called out about it you magically had the money to repay him

Yes I see that, but was it your intention to use this money from the loan if you were to have gotten it to repay the OP?

Haha no the reason for the loan was in the thread, it was to try and win 2 BTC from Primedice.
