I Lost my Earnings *A Sad and Dumb Story*

Well its pretty obvious that I will not be ranking anything on this article. I am actually a bit sad and demotivated today because I lost all the earnings I had on my first two articles. Its not a lot of money to some but just the thought of losing something you worked for is pretty devastating.

And yeah, I will tell you what happened.

So yesterday, I wanted to transfer my earnings to a wallet where I created an account with. I cannot access the wallet through our desktop computer so I decided to open the mobile app version of it. I logged in already and everything. Then I went to the "Send money" page on read.cash and it asked for the BCH address where I will be sending the funds to. Since my read.cash account is logged in on the desktop and my wallet was logged in on my phone, there's no way for me to just copy and paste the BCH address. So guess what my dumb self did? I typed in the BCH adress letter by letter! Not the smartest thing to do or just something that should not be done at all.

We all know that crypto addresses like BCH addresses has a lot of letters and does not have a single format. Its a combination of capitalized and small letters. I did not really mind the process of doing so because I thought that everything I was putting in were correct. But I was so wrong!

I confidently typed in all the letters on my BCH address and put in the maximum account that I can send. Then, I sent it with a smile on my face.

I really don't know anything about the processing time of sending and receiving BCH because I am new to the world of cryptocurrency. At first, I was not really bothered that I was not receiving the amount on my BCH wallet because I just thought that it might really take a while. So while waiting, I just watched a couple of videos on Youtube. I didn't even notice that couple of hours had gone by after sending my earnings.

I decided to check on my wallet and still, there's no BCH on there. That's the time I felt a bit concerned.

I don't really know a lot of people here on read.cash because I just joined here. I have no one to ask here exactly what to do. So I tried posting on my noise.cash account. Again, I am new on that site as well so it really took a while o figure it out. Then Mr. @Crackers gave me some tips on how to get started on noise. He told me to join some Channel. I found one that is all about BCH. So with no hesitant, I subscribed on that channel and asked for HELP. Like literally, I even created a photo that says "HELP" on it to really emphasize that I need help.

It took like minutes to get a respond and thankfully, someone was able to notice my post. It was @Telesfor . It seems like he was actually the creator of that channel. He did gave me what he think happened why was I not able to receive my earnings. I did check on all the things he told me.

Before I continue, I just want to thank @Telesfor for actually trying to gave me assistance.

Then I receive a notification on my wallet and I got excited. I thought that it was my earnings already. So I immediately Mr. @Telesfor that everything was fine already.

After saying so, I checked on my wallet and the notification was just a wallet promotion. I was so furious! I was mad. I already told the only person who tried to help that everything was fine.

I did not know what to do next then I realized something. A funny realization that hit me 2 hours of sending it. I already has some suspicion that I did something wrong but I can't really get a hold of what was it until checked again. I put in one incorrect letter at the middle of the address.

By that time, I just accepted the fact that I lost all my earnings. A sad event but somehow meaningful. A lesson to learn and apply to my future transactions.
