Alright so here is this transaction done by me:

https://blockchain.info/tx/23f77ad37e1778623ab42e2385e58f8edcc5fffaa534e1c1cf18ddf934d09911

I accidentally moved 0.00105114 BTC into an armory adress, i dont even know what does that mean. I wanted it to be sent to a normal adress but I`m still new with armory and I accidentally sent it there.

The armory adress was generated from my own address, of which private keys I know.

How can I recover the funds?

That means that you sent bitcoins to the creators of the Armory software.  That address is one of theirs.

I wanted it to be sent to a normal adress

What normal address did you want to send to?  Why didn't you send to that address?

but I`m still new with armory and I accidentally sent it there.

Where did you get the 1ArmoryXcfq7TnCSuZa9fQjRYwJ4bkRKfv address from, and why did you send to it?  How can you "accidentally" send to an address without knowing that you are sending to it?

The armory adress was generated from my own address

No, it wasn't.

of which private keys I know.

How can I recover the funds?

You can very nicely send an email to the creators of Armory and explain that you accidentally made a donation to them that you did not intend to make.  Then you can prove that the transaction came from you.  Then you can politely request that they send the donation back to you.  Finally, you can hope that they decide to be charitable and send the funds back to you.

Well because i wanted it to be sent to a link, when i opened the send tab, there were 2 buttons 1 above eachother.
The above was the donation button and below was the "enter manual link" button, and looks like i misclicked.

I thought that that address was generated from my link. I had no idea I misclicked.

Well either way, its ok, lesson learned, atleast I contributed to the armory project.

There isn't much point in it as it's such a minute amount, just earn it back.

If i could just resolve it with 1-2 click of button then it would be worth it. Its better to open a thread for it, an earn it back in 2 min than to waste 6 hours entering captchas in faucets  Cheesy

Anyway problem resolved, thread locked
