Hello gamers of blockchain technology, today I want share with you the most scary thing that I have lived in the story of the steem blockchain.
A normal day playing @splinterlands I made a lot of DEC and sold a few cards, so I decide to buy some packs through steem-engine because suddenly there were so cheap (1$ each pack), steem token just blow up and many crazy whales were buying and selling at lot of coins, I felt like a whale at that moment because my steem were to appreciated.
So I bought 7 UNTAMED edition booster packs but reading about the high market, bitcoin going high(literary) just excite me and I sent the packs to @steemmonster (that what I thought) them I go into the game and I see there´re no packs and I wonder why, I go to the history of tokens that I sent and I read that the account was send is
@steemmonters.
The first time that I read I thought I need to wait a few but then I realize that I forgot to type an S letter to the Original name account of the game @steemmonsters.
I started to cry, seven packs without open, what did I do?, I remember a friend who told me if you send steem to a nonexistent account there gonna be lost forever..
I ask to the Spanish community about it and they told me the same but I had some faith so I decide to create a steem account with the name of @steemmonters (that account did not exist at that moment).
I wanted to do that quickly so I went to steemconnect account creation and I did it but I go to the blockchain explorer of the account and there is no information of the untamed tokens that I send, so I decide to open steem-engine wallet with @steemmonters account and the untamed tokens were there.
What a relief, I felt like a baby watching his favorite tv show, like a cow eating the most green past, me receiving a golden legendary card(lol )..
I wonder why if you send steem tokens in a nonexistent account are really gone, but steem-engine is a sidechain so Json tokens works differently( that was that @grapthar said when I asked him).
Please read the name twice before send tokens, and if you want to send a lol token to my new @steemmonters copy account forget the S.
