Title: I think i lost 1.5BTC... (solved)
Post by: drop2410 on September 30, 2013, 11:00 am
Not sure if right board but anyway;

I accidentally sent 1.5btc to my OLD sr address (for the same account) (i know i should have deleted that address but kept forgetting). is there any chance that that address is still linked to my account or have i just thrown £135 down the drain???

i am so pissed at myself now.

edit: if it's relevant the address changed a month or two ago.

From what I understand, all addresses continue to work. I'm sure someone who actually knows will chime in, but that's the way I understand it.

the transaction has been confirmed and the money is on my sr account :D:D:D:D

edit: also received message from sr saying: you have recently used an archived Bitcoin address (1Pdd...) to deposit 1.495 BTC to your account. This address could be retired at any time. It is strongly advised that you use a new bitcoin address for future deposits.

I did basically the same thing, except the address I used was still listed as my active one on my account page. I still got the same message from SR though, about the address being archived.

I think it's a good idea to use the "get new address" button about 24hrs before you deposit BTC, each and every time.
