Contact the recipient immediately, explain the mistake, and ask them to return the funds. Be sure to give them an address to return the funds to.

<p>I sent money to the wrong address. I am not a developer and I only understand the blockchain in its most general terms.....but I use bitcoin everyday so I have a working knowledge of it. It's hard for me to get anywhere because I know none of the languages, anything about scripting, and can't even run a install via command prompt.....I'm working on it though. Is there a way for me to either recover, regenerate, or resend my misplaced transacrion? I see it there on blockcypher. I tried to import into one of my other wallets but it won't go because I assume I need the private key. Please help.</p>

Is there any way for me to recover or reclaim a confirmed but unspent transaction that was sent to the wrong address?
