Hi @modclub thank you for your response.
I am not very technical as i have explained previously, so forgive me for not quite understanding how this can happen in the first place. If the governance canister is not meant to have tokens sent it as it is not retrievable, then why is there not a safe guard mechanism in place to stop non tech savvy end users like myself from making, what i consider, to be a rookie mistake, because i am a rooky.
The part i really dont get it where are those tokens now? Surely the tokens i sent are there as extra tokens, what am i missing here?
I mean, the tokens were not sent out to an obscure random address out in the never never world of crypto, it was sent on the NNS, from a DCD wallet, to a DCD governance canister. There are extra tokens sitting there that were not there prior to my mistake.
So are we really saying that those tokens are lost now and i cannot ever get them back? I mean if it was a small amount, i truly would not bother anyone, but this is not a small amount.
So how do i go about creating a motion to either mint new tokens (which i still dont understand why, because there are extra tokens there) or request treasury to reimburse the tokens (because again, there are extra tokens there).
At this point, i am ready to try anything, but as a long term ICP investor, this has really dented my confidence in the ICP network, maybe my lack of understanding how all this works plays a role in that, however there really should be safeguard mechanisms in place when this sort of thing happens.
If there are canisters that people should not be sending tokens to, then there should be a block and the transaction should not be allowed to go through.
Thank you again for your patience in hearing me out, and i truly hope we can come together and find a resolution. If i create a proposal, will you support that proposal?
