I have accidentally sent ETH from my wallet to an ETC wallet address on YoBit, is there any way I can recover this?

Been trying to get hold of someone at YoBit for assistance but not had any luck :(

I'm guessing they are the only ones that can send these coins back to me as I don't have access to the private keys on the address??

The best thing you can do is cry......If it is a large amount, you can contact Yobit..... but i don't think you will get any luck....

The only one who can help you is their support. Be patient and give them few days. I'm sure they have lot of tickets to solve.

Or maybe you can start shouting about that in their chat hoping some mod will take care of you ( but I would prefer the first option  ;) ).

Thought as much, tried contacting YoBit support and it's been nearly 3 weeks now and not reply :(

man what a mistake i would advice to keep contacting their support or their customer service i think they have an Email message service good luck recovering your coins.  here is their link https://www.yobit.net/en/contacts/ 

Have been trying but no joy, raised a support ticket, tried contacting via twitter and have even direct messaged the User named Yobit on this forum, dunno what else to try?!?!

Wait for the support. Lesson learnt: be careful :)

I dont think it is going to be meaningful but the only thing you can do is contacting with their support service. But they usually do not care unfortunately.

3 days ago I experienced it, send ETH to ETC address on gambling site. Thankful, i just send 0.02 eth. So, I don't really think about it.

Nah, there is no way to recover those eths back, you have lost them mate, it is your fault and you have to understand that there is no way to recover them back no matter what.
I know a guy who sent 2 bitcoins to his bitcoin cash wallet, he lost them because there is no way to receive those bitcoins that are lost in the limbo.
Next time try to see to where you are sending those coins, good luck.

Keep on trying. If you give up then you won't have the answer to your question.
They usually respond after a few weeks. Just send them a message everyday.

Sorry it is gone. i also made such mistakes twice but I have learn from it and moved on. I had since made more than I lost. The transaction is not reversible once done. Take heart and look forward.

Really very sad, but you can raise a support ticket and provide them the transaction hash and your wallet to give you back your eth. But you need to give a test of your patience btw😉

I do not think I am wrong when I say that Ethereum and Ethereum Classic have the same format of private keys and addresses it may be possible to recover. 

Be patient and respectful to Yobit support.

That is the reason, I never touch my crypto wallets when I'm drunk. j/k

OP you've no choice rather than the help from the exchange.

I think you should try all options you can honestly - shouting in the chat is a last resort, but if you've already waited weeks - it might be your SOS signal haha :D

The mistake is expensive but try to contact the exchange if they can render any kind of help.

These types of transactions, leading to "lost" coins -- I'm wondering, if you look at currencies with limited supply such as Bitcoin (but to some extent also ETH and ETC), how much \ what is the percentage of lost coins in circulation? That information could be important in assessing the rarity and therefore the value of the coin...

You should create ticket to their support.
One address could easily be used for both ETC and ETH due to the same structure of etc and eth. So if they have private key from that address they would probably return your ETH back soon.

You have no choice if yobit did not entertain your support ticket its totally a mistake from your side and it will take time to resolve it, just be very careful nextime if you send big amount.

yobit communication skill very poor..

Still no response to my support ticket :(
Anyone here have any contacts at YoBit support?
Tried reaching out to the User on here by the handle YoBit but still no reply

I hope you are not a lot of lost. There is not much probability to get it back. Be careful next time. This lesson is too expensive.

Yeh not in a good place to be honest financially especially with the market being the way it currently is!
Deffo an expensive lesson.

Maybe you don't have any options, you can only submit a work order to the exchange, and then wait for a reply.
The only thing you can do is pray. :(
