It was November 30, 2017 I was doing some ETN transactions...i.e sending some newly purchased ETN coins from Cryptopia over to paper offline wallet...
When...I accidentally provided the wrong payment ID for the target paper wallet primary key.
At the time, I was dealing with multiple paper wallets and yap...that's how that got me to use the wrong payment ID for the target / intended paper wallet.
One wrong piece of information ended up costing 2,200 ETN tokens...and to make matters a little shaky that was $50 USD that my girlfriend who that day I was so heavily promoting the idea / project that is Electroneum...yikes! She was crotcheting at that moment when she looked at me...I saw the pain and even if she said it's okay, I think it was meant to get lost...I was like nah...hold up...I messed up so I'm going to provide you with some insurance.
So I ended up crediting her the lost 2,200 ETN from my stash.
Contacted Cryptopia for help but uh...nothing...so I now believe from my nightmare...I just made Electroneum a little more valueable as in 21 billion max supply less 2,200; and I ebelieve more and more Electroneum community menmber as we all continue to adopt this amazing tech...will run into this issue where more coins will be lost!
What is the lesson learned? Well...I shall always pay close attention to what the heck I'm working on in command CLI & Electroneum Blockchain and even if I am very excited about spreading the word that is the Electroneum project to my girlfriend or all her 100 friends, double check and double check always before clicking submit!
My interest in Next.Exchange...well...since that one boring afternoon when I was on Twitter discovering news of the day...and I saw this add about Next.Exchange, went to YouTube and Crypto For the People a.k.a Sean Davis talked about it as carrying the at the time the yet to be released ETN coin...oh boy, it was on for me! Electroneum being the first major Crypto project of interest easy to understand where they want to go...and all that...and now Next.Exchange saying they'd have ETN support...well...as in investor...the convincing wasn't much at all! I like innovation and I believe Next.Exchange will make access to ETN and a load of other coins more accessible to both newbies and seniors in Crypto!
