I Lost Untamed Booster packs
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..
LOST FOREVER, (OMG).
LOST FOREVER, (OMG).
LOST FOREVER, (OMG).
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.
Good quick thinking! (And thanks for the warning.) Have you opened the packs yet? Hopefully you got some great cards for all your troubles.

Wow, that was a close one. Good thing that this account is helping players to recover their losses due to a typo. And thanks for the post, it was interesting to learn about your mistake and luck at the end.
At the beginning was not easy but I calm down and I found the way.
Glad everything worked out!
Wow - well done you figured out what to do in such a situation. Congratulations
