Title: Sent Bitcoins to the addres listed on buyers guide!
Post by: nakedcorridor on September 19, 2011, 11:37 am
It took me about 5 seconds to realise how stupid a mistake I've made. I'm a first-timer.

About 55 bitcoins was sent from my mt. gox account to the sr address listed on the buyers guide.

Is it possible to retrieve them so I can put them in my actual sr account? It's a depressingly large sum that I would like back...

I appreciate any help!

That's a terrible mistake


Your only hope would be if SR still has access to that address, it seems to be a real address but there's no telling who actually owns it.

Man... still kicking myself. What a waste. Looks like whoever has access to that account has drained it already.

With a bit of luck it's a SR admin account, and they'll sort it out. Otherwise I'll just have to learn from it.

Oh shit... that really sucks.

Please let us know how you go. Hope you will get your BTC back.
