Title: sent Bitcoin Cash to a BTC
Post by: jackw88 on September 20, 2017, 02:29:45 AM
I accidentally Sent Bitcoin cash to a Bitcoin Wallet from bittrex to other Exchange Is there anything I can do to recover my Bitcoin Cash ?

from bittrex
You have sent BCC to a BTC address, these wallets have addresses that validate to each other, but the wallets are not compatible for receiving coins. You'll need to research how to remove a private key from a Bitcoin address and import it into a BCC wallet to recover these coins. You may want to contact someone from the BCC community for help.  We can be of no further assistance on this issue.

from other Exchange say

our wallet is not a private wallet but a temporary wallet that does not provide Private Key (we are an Exchanger not a private wallet provider)

So you need to find private key. Without it you can't do anything.

As I know you are gonna need your private key and markets have your wallets' private key. It is not possible to get that cash back I suppose. Bittrex wouldnt give private key to you.
