How can I learn who has access the the address that my btc were incorrectly sent to? I look in btc.com and see that the btc was sent and completed, and unspent. It's just sitting somewhere on the blockchain? How can I contact the person who has access to the key?
So these btc are just sitting, unspent, in a random node or hash on the blockchain, and there is no way for me to access or request access to them... how can I tell if there is just traffic delaying the transfer of my btc into my exchange? – Jordan – 2018-01-12T15:24:30.597
sorry, I don't understand you second question "how can I tell ...." – ndsvw – 2018-01-12T15:29:33.497
I guess I just want to know what happens to that btc? btc.com shows that it was transacted and unspent. It's frustrating to think that it will just sit there unused. – Jordan – 2018-01-12T15:29:53.310
Yes, as the adress has (probably) no owner (no one has the private key for that adress), these bitcoins will probably never be used/spent. – ndsvw – 2018-01-12T15:36:34.233
Can the exchange that I was intending to send these btc (i submitted a ticket) somehow request or retrieve the funds? – Jordan – 2018-01-12T15:46:10.610
1Once the bitcoins are on that adress (once the transaction is in a block of the blockchain), there is NO way for you to get them back. – ndsvw – 2018-01-12T15:53:14.103
1You can consider those coins to be in an unbreakable transparant box that everybody (that knows the location) can forever see, but nobody can ever open. – Christiaan Westerbeek – 2018-01-12T21:31:46.557
