Dear community, some of our members have made a fatal mistake. Due to the token claim rush and high gas, a couple number of our community members sent their GFI tokens to the Goldfinch contract address by mistake. That’s almost all of their rewards they’ve received. They sent them back to Goldfinch.
I respect the team and understand that it is very strange to demand the return of tokens back, since it is technically impossible.
But I want to ask you to look into this situation, which could happen to each of you, and show maximum loyalty to our strong community and the goldfinch team.Try to give them at least partial compensation. After all, these are people who believe and love GOLDFINCH, they actively participated in the academy and supported GOLDFINCH. This is a human factor, but they did not receive anything for their efforts and work. They received and return back in GOLDFINCH.
I want to ask to delve into this situation that could happen with each of you. And to show the maximum loyalty of our strong community unit and the Goldfinch team. Try to return to them at least partial compensation. After all, these are people who believe and love Goldfinch, they actively participated in the Academy and supported Goldfinch. This is a human factor, but they did not receive anything for their efforts and work. That is, they got and returned back into Goldfinch.
I propose to create a Google form in which to specify the wallet number and transaction code and communication data. Make an announcement and give a certain time to all who made this mistake, to complete an application
This is a common misfortune I’ve seen in comments section of different tokens on network explorers.
There is a proposed ERC-223 token standart that offers global solution to this problem and author addresses that in 2017 there were more than $3000000 worth tokens lost this way.
I suppose it is possible to upgrade the particular smart contract with a function that would allow users to claim back tokens lost this way.
I am for helping such poor people, it is clear that it was done through inattention and carelessness, but you should not leave them in trouble because of this, after looking at the contract there are not so many GFI that it could greatly affect the price, but from such a decision, you will only win seeing how people appreciate inside it.
I agree with the text above. It’s a shame to lose the award due to an unfortunate mistake( I subscribe to every word! And I hope for the understanding of the Goldfinch team to its loyal investors supporting the project!
I’m sorry you made that mistake mate. But you learn from your mistakes, don’t despair! It will be great if the team decides to compensate for your losses. I am for it! Good luck!)
Indeed, none of us is immune from the human factor, from inattention or any other case, I would like it to be less, in any case, if the Team goes to a meeting or tries to at least briefly answer this situation, it would be fine.
I completely agree, there are also people who were expelled for no reason, including me, we also received nothing for our work and efforts, this is a very unpleasant situation that happened to many participants in the flight academy, I created a topic on the forum, but I don’t know if the project team is aware of this or not, so I’ll leave some of my contacts here, maybe it will help me somehow.

Of course, this is not always possible, but if there is a chance of return, you need to use it. Here is just whether the team will agree to spend their time returning. In my opinion, if it is technically difficult, it would be good if the team simply re-sent the coins that people lost.
I agree, if you can try to recover lost tokens, you have to do it. I had a similar situation with another project, I turned to the team and they returned it to me. Of course, this is not always possible, but if there is a chance of return, you need to use it. Here is just whether the team will agree to spend their time returning. In my opinion, if it is technically difficult, it would be good if the team simply re-sent the coins that people lost. And in the future, if the contract is updated, they will simply remove the frozen tokens to their treasury.Good luck to you guys I hope the team will be kind and dedicated to his community and will help you with that!
Of course you need to support the guys, if possible! The old tokens that are at the address of the contract, will they just burn out? Team, do not leave in trouble!
