According to our check, all your requests to our support team were processed and replied. If it is not so, please let us know the ticket number you didn't receive a response to.

Yes I got a response after posting on this forum

There's no need to say that we'd do everything possible to help you find a way out of the situation you appeared in but some cases are simply beyond our capabilities.

Reluctance to help a client and impossibility are different concepts. Everyone knows that other exchanges in such situations provide assistance in the return of funds. You just do not need extra work, it’s easier for you to refuse to help.

In any case, for now this is not my problem, and especially not yours. The funds were simply stolen. This is the problem of the entire crypto industry, which will never get mass use while users will be able to make such mistakes. I really don’t understand why the Ledger Live wallet when transferring BCH to Segwit doesn’t display the message “Hey dude, you want to transfer BCH to SegWit BTC adress. Are you sure? You’ll lose all your BCH!” I sincerely do not understand why the BTC and BCH logos on the exchanges are the same color and are almost identical. Anyone can just mistakenly click on BTC and you even display no warning that this is SegWit.

All this makes the crypto an exclusively speculative tool for geeks. And while this situation does not change, mass use can only be dreamed of.

In general, I only had problems with the use of your exchange during strong price spikes in April. Sometimes I wanted to go in and cancel the order, but in those days you were often "at the maintenance". There are also very pleasant moments: 1. The withdrawal of funds on your exchange works flawlessly. 2. And indeed, with the exception of the last request, I always instantly received answers from your support team.

I do not think that you are SCAM. You have excellent service, but in this particular situation, I believe that you could do otherwise.

I’ll tell you how my story ended.

CEX.IO refused to transfer the public key for the recovery of my BCH, citing security issues. On March 14, all BCHs were transferred from my wallet on the CEX.IO exchange. Technical support of the exchange simply does not respond to my requests.

My advice think twice before you sent your money to this exchange, they are not able to ensure their safety.

I did the same. After the May update it seems you can restore BCH.

I contacted support of CEX.IO, they escalated my problem to the work of techies. I hope they will help. Before that, I was always very pleased with both the exchange and support.

Thank you for your reply and cooperation.

Your case will be escalated to the Tech team for investigation, however, we still cannot guarantee the result, even after the BCH hard fork.

No chance to get something from them. Be careful.

Thank you for your request.

There were no upgrades to the BCH network since the last time you contacted us.
The next upgrade is scheduled to the 11th of November 2019 but it looks like they will not implement a possibility to create BCH transactions from SegWit addresses with this upgrade. You may view specifications of the upcoming upgrade here: https://github.com/bitcoincashorg/bitcoincash.org/blob/master/spec/2019-11-15-upgrade.md

I am really sorry about this whole situation, yet it is still not possible to recover BCH sent to a SegWit address.

Hope for your understanding.
Best regards

Thank you for getting back to us.

We are sorry to inform you that actually, we do not have any information about the reason why our relevant department has decided that these actions may be not secured.

I can imagine how upsetting it is, but as it was already mentioned, recovering BCH sent to a SegWit address is not possible.

We appreciate your understanding.

admin@btc.com is ready to help, but cex.io just refuse to give me the public key of my btc wallet on their exchange.

You need to contact CEX.io to confirm it’s a segwit address and ask for the public key of the address.

Whilst moving Bitcoin Cash (BCH) from another exchange to CEX.IO, I accidently transferred coins to their segwit Bitcoin (BTC) wallet instead of BCH wallet.
I did the same. After the May update it seems you can restore BCH.

I contacted support of CEX.IO, they escalated my problem to the work of techies. I hope they will help. Before that, I was always very pleased with both the exchange and support.
