Title: send funds to ETC adress instead of ETH
Post by: elrobbo1968 on December 18, 2017, 01:11:54 PM
Hey guys,

i send my (BTC) funds to a ETC address, wich was supposed to be a ETH adress. I transferred it through changelly. (https://changelly.com )The wallet i used was JAXX.
So now my funds are in the crypto void ;-)

I was told i can still access the funds by simply a import from my private key in MEW ( myetherwallet ).
The tutorial is on http://orbides.org/page.php?id=1020

But i'm struggling to understand the procedure on this page.

Can anybody help me?

Thanks for your help.

Rob

That link is when ETH and ETC got forked. You can try importing the private key in MEW for ETH and see if balance is there. I am doubting that you can recover it from this point but try it.

I think the delivery error will make the token burn

Hey guys,

thanks for the reply. I figured it out. Luckely i could open my ETC wallet on myetherwallet and send it to a proper ETC adress. Thanks again.

Its very important you do not rush doing anything said here. Its best you resolve this internally through the support of your wallet provider. Its their technical expertise which can guide you to a solution. Trying to get a solution here could work but may very well get you in deeper issue as well if you follow the wrong advice.

Also good to hear you got it resolved! You can indeed lock this topic now.
