Can I recover btc sent to an incorrect address? (electrum) So I have an electrum wallet and I sent about $150 in btc to it. That all worked but when I tried to send it to another address, it didn't go through. Looking at the transaction, the btc went to an address similar (3F***...) to the one I entered, but not exactly the same (3D***...). I realize now that I had a malware copy of electrum, but I've taken care of that. What I'm worried about is recovering the funds sent to that address. When I look at it on a blockchain explorer, I can see that it started at 0, I sent 0.009 btc to it, and nothing has been done with it since. I read somewhere something about &quot;restoring&quot; a read-only wallet from the transaction ID and then getting the address' private key from the send address and sweeping it into my main wallet, but I haven't figured out how to do that with electrum yet. Does anybody know how to do that or something else to get those funds back?

Confirmed Bitcoin transactions cannot be cancelled, reversed, undone or recovered.
The only person who can give you your money back is the recipient, by creating a new transaction to send the same amount back to you.

If the initial mishap was due to a malware copy of Electrum, there is no chance the criminals, who created that, would choose to give back money they stole from you.

I read somewhere something...

The things you describe won't work.

Nothing. Anyone who says otherwise is trying to scam you.
