Damn! That surely sucks! A thing like that could surely make someone rethink all things crypto for sure! I just hope it wasn't a lot...
I have no intention to make it worse, but I imagine of an infinite sea where all the cryptos sent to invalid addresses flow for eternity. Some by mistake, forever missed by their former owners, some purposefully burnt to serve some financial or marketing purpose. Out of space, out of time. For ever! An eternal limbo!
Enough to mourn, only. The keyboard temporarily becomes an alien being, guilty by association :) But I have written a Chapter 3 proposal :) And I was touched by your contact. I enjoyed your Chapter 2, on Dante31's proposal :)
