Monero should work for the public and pseudonymous bit, and next time pay attention before sending, all wallets ask for confirmation prior to sending.

Was the option of doing a much smaller amount available to validate the account before following up with the full transfer? I've never understood not doing a test transfer first.

You can still make a mistake after the test transfer.

Or you can mistakenly think the test transfer worked as intended.

Not to mention that the necessity of "do a test transfer" already shows how massively broken the process is

Or maybe that "broken" design is just the result of the actual goal of decentralized P2P...

Advice: next time pay attention before sending, all wallets ask for confirmation prior to sending, for what is it worth. Always double check, or triple check.

and then what?

I just got sent real estate documents because the sender used my uncommon firstNameLastName@ gmail, but because they had a typo of the last name it landed in my inbox.

Are we talking about cryptocurrencies? Because they are not based on e-mail.

In fact, I have no idea how your comment is relevant to losing money.

You accidentally got someone else's document. How is that relevant to losing money?

As a reminder, you said: "I lost ~$1,000 in a bad transfer because of a typo.". How can you lose ~$1,000 because of someone else's typo in which an e-mail landed in your inbox?
