Title: Messed up. Noob mistake. sent ltc to btc address to ledger nano s
Post by: Griffeneily on December 17, 2017, 09:10:08 PM
I was wondering If My mistake is reversible. I sent ltc from my coinbase account to a bitcoin address on my ledger. It says completed on CB and it has over 30 confirmations. Help please

I wanted to move my LTC coin from coinbase to my ledger nano s. On my ledger I opened up my btc wallet and I hit receive and on coinbase I hit send. I scanned the address on coinbase for ltc. This is the info 39hiM2y1mG4hjSnyzWeMbnyeZSTbyBmnBy

I think that importing the private key of this wallet in a ltc wallet should work. Do ledger let you have access to your private key?

It's possible with forked coins. You can send Bitcoin Cash to a Bitcoin address too and since LTC was forked from Bitcoin it's possible to do the same.

Try this OP, people have managed to recover their money by following these points. It was posted in a few places including reddit and litecointalk.

You're going to need a fully synced Litecoin-qt install for this to work, which may take 5-10 hours.
1. Open up this page, BitAddress.org, and LiteAddress.org
2. Copy your private key into the Wallet Details tab on BitAddress.org. Scroll to the bottom and copy the "Private Key Hexadecimal Format (64 characters [0-9A-F]):" value.
3. Go to the LiteAddress.org page and move around your mouse until the Wallet Details tabs appears. Put in the hex key from the previous step in here.
4. Select and copy the compressed WIF key (NOT the one starting with 6). Also keep note of the "Litecoin Address Compressed" from the first half of the page (starting with L)
5. Open up Litecoin-qt, then head into the debug console.
6. Run importprivkey "" (with quotes).
7. Once the import finished, run addwitnessaddress "".
8. Wait for this import to finish as well. Take the M-address from the console and use this tool to convert it to a 3-Address.
9. If the funds haven't shown up yet, close Litecoin-qt.
10. Restart Litecoin-qt along with a rescan. This varies by OS, and in most cases will happen automatically if you wait for 10 minutes or so before restarting.

At that point it shouldn't be possible to recover. With 30 confirmations and zero idea if anyone even owns the wallet it would be almost impossible to recover that unless you can generate that address and recover your LTC. I would say that you probably lost your LTC at this point, and the 30 confirmations make it impossible for miners to reverse the transaction. Sorry about this but I don't think that there's a lot that can be done aside from learning a lesson about checking your addresses twice (if not three times) before sending a transaction.

Really? I thought if you sent Litecoin to a Bitcoin address it is more or less gone. At least, that is what I thought I read multiple times before, but I could be wrong. Hopefully for OP's sake, I am. :P

I've just confused the fuck out of myself over this...

So I sent a little BTC to https://blockchain.info/address/3H6RQQthC5HV1BUYT38NpF9CJVgJzVkubp and it works... https://blockchain.info/tx/4a0818a4b89264f32d6078fdd0d357e5079915183a535cdab3ab96ab127c63b9

I've checked the LTC blockchain and the OP's coins are there too...  https://live.blockcypher.com/ltc/address/3H6RQQthC5HV1BUYT38NpF9CJVgJzVkubp/

When I check my "sister address tool" (BTC and LTC addresses all pair with each other)... it seems that Bitcoin address 3H6RQQthC5HV1BUYT38NpF9CJVgJzVkubp pairs with Litecoin address LadMk5i5iqDAApUGW5T5fdr2NBksecG6wg.  ??? ???

So does LTC 3H6 have a different private key than Bitcoin 3H6?

can you please provide the LTC tx id ? i want to check for myself.
btc format address and ltc format address is different. LTC address usually start from letter 'L'.
i wonder why it succeeded. have you tried contacting coinbase support ?

I'd wager money on it that it hasn't actually gone through.
