I once randomly received 25 ETH (worth ~$400 at the time)

>Has anyone here ever recieved a large amount of crypto by mistake?
So improbable you might as well consider it impossible.
>Has anyone here ever sent a large amount of crypto to the wrong address?
No, but I could have, I never check the whole address and I just sent all my linkies back from Binance to my trezor a few months ago (all my 50k linkies) in 1 transaction, now I imagine if I had a virus that changed my copypasta and changed some digits inside the public address I wouldn't have noticed since I only check the start and finish, but why would someone change digits in the middle since it'll be a random address they can't access even if it would fuck me over.

I am paranoid now of some dick making a virus that solely exists to change one character in a copy pasted address just to fuck people

I'm a degenerate I get so stressed transfering my crypto that I try to get done with it as fast as possible and don't check everything, but seeing how much 50k link are worth right now I should spend the whole day checking every single letter and digit and do it 100 times and it wouldn't still be considered overdoing it.

I was moving bzrx from my metamask to my ledger one time.. I copied the eth address from the ledger app then went to metamask and it had hidden the bzrx so I went onto etherscan and copied the contract address and put it into metamask. I then clicked Send and pasted the contract address somehow totally forgetting that it was no longer my eth address. I got to the point where I was just about to press the button on my ledger and I just decided to double check the address on the ledger incase my metamask had been "hacked" or something and I just about figured out what I'd done. Came real fuckin close, Im pretty sure thats the process for how most people do it

i remember there was an anon who had a program that made btc wallets. he would scan the wallets and collect miss sent funds. claims he made 1-2 btc a month and had 100k wallets kek

Yes, I sent it to the wrong address.
I had to call Bitcoin HQ to get it all sorted out.
Was on hold for over an hour.

I sent eth to a usdc address because I thought it would work since it's an eth token.

When I was 18 I tried to buy a bunch of acid and sent 200 bucks to a wrong BTC address. Took it as a sign and stopped doing drugs after that lol
