Title: BCH withdrawal to BTC adress Post by: aafreybtc on December 04, 2017, 10:01:23 AM Hello,
I accidentally made a BCH withdrawal to my BTC adress instead of sending it to my BCH adress. So i won't surprise you i didn't receive it yet. Is there anything i can do about this? I read something about using a privatekey on your BTC adress to claim your BCH? Is this possible and how can i realise this? I made the withdrawal from wex.nz to my bitpay account. The support team of wex sent me an email with the link of the transaction on blockchair. I also send an email to bitpay for support however i didn't receive a respons from them yet. If there already was a topic on this subject i apologize for the inconvience. Thanks in advance for your help. Greetings. Aaron Title: Re: BCH withdrawal to BTC adress Post by: racquemis on December 04, 2017, 10:07:34 AM The private key would be to import your BTC address to another wallet....
Can you post the link to the transaction?

So i won't surprise you i didn't receive it yet. Well several newbies recently have been making this mistake and sending BCH to a BTC wallet. Your coins will be lost forever if you do so. Since both of them are different currencies and they are not same you cannot "mix" the two.Quote Is there anything i can do about this? I read something about using a privatekey on your BTC adress to claim your BCH? Is this possible and how can i realise this? You should contact support on wex.nz and bitpay explaining your situations to both. It depends on the website to take care of the issue. You cannot do anything about it. Let this be the first and the last lesson for you. Never send BCH to BTC wallet or vice versa, Never send OMNI tokens to Ethereum wallet and so on.I made the withdrawal from wex.nz to my bitpay account.

Title: Re: BCH withdrawal to BTC adress Post by: onnz423 on December 04, 2017, 10:11:23 AM BCH and BTC are on seperate chains, so you'll need to manage to get your hands on the private key of the address that you sent the funds into.
Everything you can do is to wait answer from Bitpay team, and if they tell you that they cannot help you, then your BCH is long gone. Best of luck, keep us updated about our situation.

Aaron Title: Re: BCH withdrawal to BTC adress Post by: Aura on December 04, 2017, 12:40:38 PM If you did the transaction to a non segwit address then you can export the private of that particular BTC address and import it into a BCH client. I did a search for you on Google, this guide tells you how to export your private keys from you wallet: https://github.com/bitpay/copay/issues/5859#issuecomment-294537858.
Title: Re: BCH withdrawal to BTC adress Post by: onnz423 on December 04, 2017, 12:46:29 PM How can i get this private key and how do i use it for this issue? Still waiting for bitpay to reply.. thanks I should have mentioned that the one who owns the bitcoin wallet, owns the private key. So if you sent to bitpay, only they can access the funds on the private key. Bitcoin and Bitcoin cash use the same private keys, so you can still spend the funds and they are not lost. Bitpay support is fairly quickly in my opinion, so you should not have much of a problem with that.

I'm not quite familiar with bitpay but I read that bitpay wallet user owns the key if you have its privkey meaning you are in control of the address you can simply use the same privkey and import into your BCH wallet you need to ask bitpay how to extract a privkey of your specific address Title: Re: BCH withdrawal to BTC adress Post by: onnz423 on December 04, 2017, 01:12:32 PM so my guess is 1LfqTBBFP the BTC address on topic here.

Good point. Im not sure if OP meant paid invoice or sending into the mobile wallet. I think that he should address this, before we proceed with the thread. If it's a bitpay invoice, only bitpay can access the funds but if he was talking about mobile wallet, then that would be alot of different.

I just needed some BCH on my Bitpay wallet to pay for something else.

WARNING! THE NEXT PROCEDURE WILL REVEAL YOUR PRIVATE KEY ON YOUR DEVICE SO BE SURE NOT TO HAVE MALWARE. I suggest creating a new bitpay wallet straight after recovering the BCH. On bitpay mobile wallet app, go to settings -> personal wallet -> more options -> export wallet -> put a password there -> copy to clipboard. After getting a very long string, use SJCL demo (https://bitwiseshiftleft.github.io/sjcl/demo/) to decrypt it. Put the password that you used on bitpay to the password field, then paste the long strange to the "Ciphertext" field. It should give something like this under the "Plaintext" field: Code: {"coin":"btc","network":"livenet","xPrivKey":"xprv9s21ZrQH143K3PkFJNTnjrLPUMxfHbMLErmnea2xoTPU26KEdZHsu9cpVqqcui641Hjq4sQ7oycxh7UWSRALWDmSZsjXCJmgqJDUsGFiqWj","xPubKey":"xpub6DCEXCnvf13iV13dN6on3LPdQHqgk2JivfiGuhZvKpnMWfRPafMHaKBev5pVuhssR7fPBSevuZRML4U9b1mEacyPiJ8zhAKDxuwBoqwoQYt","requestPrivKey":"c326899ec07a6188f01c5bf6e252a7b7deb7876efcfbdc9a0c96997f778d7656","requestPubKey":"0310ede905976ea0a43c174dbe9ea320e6b851fb5fb0818ea82b4196d710c82f6e","copayerId":"217530644c7e059112a3979cc9c290d15ccc4c41fa745331e599819f82e87fdd","publicKeyRing":[{"xPubKey":"xpub6DCEXCnvf13iV13dN6on3LPdQHqgk2JivfiGuhZvKpnMWfRPafMHaKBev5pVuhssR7fPBSevuZRML4U9b1mEacyPiJ8zhAKDxuwBoqwoQYt","requestPubKey":"0310ede905976ea0a43c174dbe9ea320e6b851fb5fb0818ea82b4196d710c82f6e"}],"walletId":"0e35a5ca-fba1-4b21-b786-c8d8df444861","walletName":"Personal Wallet","m":1,"n":1,"walletPrivKey":"3a3eb46e3ffd138a5f30622f8dde9386af459002e77e27457e2cdec0a63315ce","personalEncryptingKey":"EeK/KwqfPBy8DtO63CYhjw==","sharedEncryptingKey":"O/BSl9i+98dKT2kUb2DEwA==","copayerName":"me","mnemonic":"view hope impose control wood bamboo scrub seed catalog tooth canyon zero","entropySource":"8affc9a9cab00b6c947dc9255cb2756d233bc2667f74da006aff8152c4042100","mnemonicHasPassphrase":false,"derivationStrategy":"BIP44","account":0,"compliantDerivation":true,"addressType":"P2PKH","addressBook":[]}as you can see there is "xPrivKey" field at the beginning of the plaintext, copy paste that and download Electron cash (https://electroncash.org).

Wex was kind enough to respons with a link of the transaction on blockchair but they did not provided me with a direct solution of getting it back (maybe because this is out of their hands) Still waiting for Bitpay to respons. Keep y'all posted. I think that is a good idea from the BCH team, could save people a lot of trouble and money when they accidentally do the same as me.

Thanks for all the tips and tricks, that was very helpfull :) Title: Re: BCH withdrawal to BTC adress Post by: Satish147 on December 07, 2017, 08:20:36 AM When you made request to wrong blockchain address mostly it can't be recovered at all.
However you said you made withdrawl by using third party service. They can handle the situations like this easily but you might have lost if you made this transaction with your hardware wallets.

I remember someone doing this before.
