Title: Accidentally sent Litecoin to Bitcoin address Post by: Trixoempire on April 22, 2021, 04:24:20 AM I sent from Binance 1 LTC to Localbitcoins which is BTC.
My 1 LTC is lost now? Title: Re: Accidentally sent Litecoin to Bitcoin address Post by: franky1 on April 22, 2021, 04:44:04 AM I sent from Binance 1 LTC to Localbitcoins which is BTC. My 1 LTC is lost now? transactions dont use 'address' in raw data format. but keys.. meaning your kinda in luck. alls not lost in short ask localbitcoin to locate the private key for the BTC address you used.. import that btc private key into litecoin wallet so they have access to the ltc coins and then send you the coins to a LTC address you want the refund (or ask them to associate that ltc key as your localbitcoin deposit balance address) Title: Re: Accidentally sent Litecoin to Bitcoin address Post by: tbct_mt2 on April 22, 2021, 04:50:55 AM I sent from Binance 1 LTC to Localbitcoins which is BTC. You will need a private key of that Bitcoin address.Quote My 1 LTC is lost now? It depends on your access to the private key of that Bitcoin address. If you can not get support from Localbitcoins and can not get that private key, you will lose your Litecoin.Without private key, you can not import it to a Litecoin non-custodial wallet and claim your Litecoin. LoyceV's Bitcoin Fork claiming guide (and service) (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2836875.msg29086309#msg29086309). You can do this or use a service but the mandatory thing is a private key. You must have it.

They might do a mass recovery just like coinbase in the future, after all it's money sitting around so from time to time keep an eye on your LTC to check whether it moved or not

Judging by what some of the others are saying in this thread it sounds like you still have a chance.

They'll probably charge some fee for the recovery, or just blatantly collect it for their own purpose.Title: Re: Accidentally sent Litecoin to Bitcoin address Post by: gullu on May 03, 2021, 11:25:05 PM Did you get your coins back? Just a curosity. Please update this thread . Its will be usefull for others too who sent coins
to other coin address by mistake in localbitcoins so that they will know the outcome in advance instead of writing mails and desperately waiting for the support system mails.

Its will be usefull for others too who sent coins I think you already know the answer ;D because it looks like it will be very difficult to get back the assets that we sent to the wrong wallet and maybe even impossible for us to get it back, the OP sends some litecoin to the BTC address and of course the two addresses have different networks, even I have personally sent a number of usdc from usdc bep20 to the usdc address that I have on the Indodax exchange platform, but apparently the two platforms have different wallet networks so I automatically lose the usdc that I have, with this experience we should have more be careful and check before sending crypto from one wallet to anotherto other coin address by mistake in localbitcoins so that they will know the outcome in advance instead of writing mails and desperately waiting for the support system mails. |
