Title: BTC ADDRESS FUCK UP
Post by: adamacid on October 02, 2013, 11:58 am
Hello all,

Idiot alert!!!!

So, i was waiting for a BTC to be deposited into my SR account, and I accidentally clicked get new address.

What will happen to the BTC being transferred to my old address now??? It's not showing in my account. I have contacted support.

thanks in advance!

That address should still be tied to your SR account.  Would not worry about it.  It should still arrive.

If youve already contacted support, then just wait for them to do the rest. It happens fairly often. I think SR should consider moving the link for a new addy some where thats not right next to the current addy. It would prevent this from happening 8/10 times.

Thanks for the replies!!!. I hope I can sort it out.

@dirtybiscuitzz718 - yes, or a warning message to pop up as you request it, to point out that any current transactions would be affected.

maybe a confirmation window popping up to ask:

'are you sure you want a new wallet address. DO NOT CHANGE YOUR WALLET ADDRESS IF YOU ARE CURRENTLY WAITING FOR A PAYMENT TO CLEAR IN THE CURRENT WALLET'
               _____       ________
              |  OK  |   | CANCEL  |
               -------      ----------     

also something similar for when you click the finalize button on an order.

Yes, that would make it almost idiot-proof!!!!

Thanks for the help!
