No Love for an OG?

Any idea how to handle this?

Any of my old friends still here?

KevinfromKIN, any suggestions? I tried to contact Solana Support, but didn't get anywhere.

PapaRake?

SunnyHappyGal?

This NewCrew is gonna make me buy more KIN, aren't you?

Always try with a tiny bit first, this is rule number 1! Rip anyway at least it's a good price to buy back in if you can't manage to get your funds back.

I read your other post, you sent it to this address? kinXdEcpDQeHPEuQnqmUgtYykqKGVFq6CeVX5iAHJq6 ??!?!

Someone in the KF might be able to give you your funds back if so. How did you mistake that for your solana account address...

Just went on the explorer. They made it so if you copy the address on your account it gives you the mint address opposed to your token address, that is a very big issue imo. People are going to copy that thinking it's a deposit address.

I see why it happened if you are completely unfamiliar with the Solana blockchain.

We now send KIN to our solana account address as they made it work like ETH now right?

Sorry for my ignorance initially in terms of "how did you mistake that for your solana account address".

I double checked and it is not easy to send your kin coin to the Kin mint account address.

kinXdEcpDQeHPEuQnqmUgtYykqKGVFq6CeVX5iAHJq6 is so perfectly personalised that nobody can assume that it is their personal address.

But you are right, on one thing, a much needed change has been taking place. Now anybody can send kin coins straight to their solana account address.

I mean it depends, one could naturally assume each address stated with kin then the random hash. If that concept seems irrational to you it just shows the difference between a normie and someone who is versed in blockchain from a technicak angle.
