If you accidentally sent bitcoin to the wrong address, could you send another amount with a message attached to that address? And hopefully it gets read by the wallet owner in hopes of a return.

You could.... Hopefully, is the key word there. Lol

But in theory, right?

Yes.

But maybe the other user has no clue how to read the msg....or if user can, who's to say user is moral enough to send it back....

we can try. send all your coins minus what you need for the 2nd transaction 😏

yes but the owner seeing the message on-chain is probably less likely than adding a comment to a LN transaction.

You could use the OP_RETURN Bot, but I’m not sure how likely it is that they’d see the message. Also, anyone would be able to see the message. https://opreturnbot.com

Actually, not sure if you can specify the address with that

Depending on how heavily used the wallet or address is, they may be more likely to investigate any unexpected transactions and might find the message.
