hey I went to buy some bit coin and accidently sent them to the previous bit coin address. The address had been changed and I hadn't changed it on my flash and forgot so have I just lost my money forever? Please anyone who knows help me out
-
I've heard of people still getting their coins having done this. As long as you're positive the address you sent the coins to belonged to your account at one point, you should be fine. You may have to contact support if it doesn't show up after 6-10 confirmations though.

I was hoping it would show up anyway since it was the previous bit cion address, Im gonna check the block chain again and see. +1 asap thank you
-
yea I had to do two different transfers because of the way it worked out but it's showing 9 on one and 8 on the other. each has a red flag at bit floor? Hope it shows. I messaged sr and told them in the subject box in three PM's so they would see it in the subject box ya know?
-
Ummm... well that may aggravate them, but okay... :) I don't understand what you mean by a red flag at Bitfloor though. That's very disconcerting. I've never used Bitfloor, so I don't know what you mean.
-
its a red arrow not a flag but bitfloor is great. this is my fuck up and I am so un happy right now. I hope it shows up in that account. I was scrolling my flashdrive while bitfloor was loading and then I just wasn't paying attention and copy and pasted the bit coin address for my GearShifter account that I never use. I used it once to get a deposit then changed the btc address but I did not change it on my flash driv.
-
... wait. If you sent the coins to someplace that isn't owned by SR, then they can't do anything. You're saying you sent them to some random account, then from there sent them to an old SR address? So you basically screwed up twice, you mean?
-
No I sent them to my previous address for my GearShifter account by accident. I have the info on a flash and one is under the other and so I was fidgeting and not realizing I scrolled. So when the platform for the bit coin address input came up I copied and pasted the btc address for my GearShifter account but it had been changed but I changed it the last time I used it and 4got to change it on my flash drive
-
It stopped at 8 and 9 confirmations

All your BTC addresses are linked so you will be fine mate, if the deposit doesn't show up in a reasonable amount of time though just contact support so they can resolve it for you.
