Title: Sent ETH to ETC address by mistake Post by: ShawlyNot007 on October 17, 2017, 08:57:53 PM 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??

Title: Re: Sent ETH to ETC address by mistake Post by: Wusolini on October 17, 2017, 09:20:30 PM 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 ;) ). Title: Re: Sent ETH to ETC address by mistake Post by: ShawlyNot007 on October 20, 2017, 10:28:47 AM Thought as much, tried contacting YoBit support and it's been nearly 3 weeks now and not reply :(

Title: Re: Sent ETH to ETC address by mistake Post by: ShawlyNot007 on October 27, 2017, 11:41:19 PM 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?!?!

Lesson learnt: be careful :)
Title: Re: Sent ETH to ETC address by mistake Post by: Stavri on October 28, 2017, 06:53:20 PM 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.
Title: Re: Sent ETH to ETC address by mistake Post by: wismases on October 28, 2017, 07:08:59 PM 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.
Title: Re: Sent ETH to ETC address by mistake Post by: JMAHH on October 28, 2017, 07:39:19 PM 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. Title: Re: Sent ETH to ETC address by mistake Post by: strickland on November 12, 2017, 06:22:22 PM 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. 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. Title: Re: Sent ETH to ETC address by mistake Post by: anitaraymonds on November 12, 2017, 06:41:02 PM 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.
Title: Re: Sent ETH to ETC address by mistake Post by: mahimonliner on November 12, 2017, 06:45:58 PM 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. Title: Re: Sent ETH to ETC address by mistake Post by: SerenW on November 12, 2017, 08:19:51 PM 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. Title: Re: Sent ETH to ETC address by mistake Post by: YuurinBee on November 12, 2017, 08:32:45 PM 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?? YoBit has one of the most weird Customer Service stations on the Internet. If you log into that website and ask your question in the chatroom then you would get a faster reply. 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 Title: Re: Sent ETH to ETC address by mistake Post by: Tosyn2 on November 13, 2017, 08:32:05 AM The mistake is expensive but try to contact the exchange if they can render any kind of help.
Title: Re: Sent ETH to ETC address by mistake Post by: DrYM on November 13, 2017, 12:33:34 PM 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...
Title: Re: Sent ETH to ETC address by mistake Post by: rudolfaxl on November 13, 2017, 12:52:56 PM 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. Title: Re: Sent ETH to ETC address by mistake Post by: ice18 on November 13, 2017, 01:00:56 PM 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.
Title: Re: Sent ETH to ETC address by mistake Post by: priyankg3 on November 23, 2017, 04:33:03 PM yobit communication skill very poor..
Title: Re: Sent ETH to ETC address by mistake Post by: ShawlyNot007 on January 26, 2018, 10:12:10 AM 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 Title: Re: Sent ETH to ETC address by mistake Post by: rzluetlhch on January 26, 2018, 10:24:35 AM 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.
Title: Re: Sent ETH to ETC address by mistake Post by: ShawlyNot007 on January 26, 2018, 02:35:19 PM Yeh not in a good place to be honest financially especially with the market being the way it currently is!
Deffo an expensive lesson. 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. Title: Re: Sent ETH to ETC address by mistake Post by: Hellobx on January 26, 2018, 02:46:20 PM 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. :( |
