Sending to NON-Existing address?

[mogadanez]

I understand that when i send money to wrong address i can't return it - someone else receive it

But what's happens if i send it to absolutelly non-existing address?

Can i get it back?


i was send NAMECOINS to BITCOIN adress
Really i not understand how namecoind allow me do this. As i understand, Namecoin adresses starts with "N" always?

I am pretty sure than is diffenetly a bug.

I am so depressed by this now....

More one .... address in listtransactions not match with address that i used to send.

when it was transformed?

Code: Select all

namecoind sendtoaddress 1CxdGs4S3wenvw8SnztK35HaR31KpYZDU3 XXX

->
{
        "account" : "",
        "address" : "N8XzUWZQyKkMTUNx4pCtFbSV9GQNqQHiEC", ????????????????
        "category" : "send",
        "amount" : -XXX.00000000,
....
    }

Namecoin addresses started with 1 at the beginning, so, to remain compatible, they are still accepted...

If the bitcoin address you send to is yours, do :
- copy one of your namecoin address somewhere, to receive funds
- stop bitcoin & namecoin
- backup bitcoin & namecoin wallets
- copy bitcoin wallet to the namecoin folder
- start namecoin with : namecoind -rescan
- you may see your lost funds, transfer them to your namecoin address
- stop namecoin
- restore your real namecoin wallet (do copies, always keep backups until you have checked all is ok)
- restart namecoin

More one .... address in listtransactions not match with address that i used to send.

Your bitcoin address has been converted to his namecoin equivalent.

agghhh.... it lead to traps when I was now.
i think it should do this only with some explicit flags for example:

Code: Select all

namecoind sendtoaddress 1CxdGs4S3wenvw8SnztK35HaR31KpYZDU3 XXX -compat

f the bitcoin address you send to is yours, do :

it's not my address, i was try deposit namecoins to https://exchange.bitparking.com and copy address from wrong section.
