So your BSV is now in your hardware wallet's BCH address.
Unfortunately I sent the BCH to an exchange, not my hardware wallet.  So that means it's unrecoverable then?
In this case the BSV in in the exchange's address now. Please contact their support and explain that you sent unsplit BSV along with a BCH deposit to them. Technically it's possible for them to retrieve the BSV, since they control the private keys to their addresses. Practically, getting that private key and making a transaction may be difficult depending on how their system is set up, but only they are going to be able to answer that.
Yup.  Thanks again, and sorry for the unwarranted blame.  At least you guys got to show how good your support is. Tongue

Ah.  Duh.  Sorry about that, my mistake.  I didn't realize there were hoops to jump through to sweep the BSV wallet, as I had done the same type of operation through ElectrumSV.

To reiterate on Coinomi's behalf, I was mistaken.  This was not a bug in the Coinomi software, I just didn't take the time to understand how to execute the sweep properly. 

Carry on!  Tongue

Can you share your paper wallet's address? Or is your nickname "CW_Fanboy" just created for trolling?
The paper wallet address is: 1LuP7CEC6Hnkd1jfLQVrikhcrpFR5MLAt4

For what it's worth, I can see the 115 BSV sitting in this wallet... https://blockchair.com/bitcoin-sv/address/19bmMog453CaqL2k76tNXzGzy4qNAmQnHb

I didn't send them there, nor did I send them to the 1Bs6J9GFRHavZCsBqK5ryQ1GAmxMeMMVyS address.  

Thanks for the help LoyceV!  If you lead me to the coins, I'll give you 10 of the BSV, promise!

And no, I'm not a troll!  I'm a genuine CW fan.  I believe CW is the smartest man alive today, just ahead of Jim Rickards.  I know that makes me a tomato target, but that's life in the logic lane.  

If you're really holding $1M+ in Bitcoin on a paper wallet, why would you ever use a hot wallet to sign a transaction? All of this can be done offline and thoroughly checked before broadcasting.

Well, I'm an economist, not an engineer.  I knew about the offline transaction method, but it didn't feel safe to me due to the complexity.
I'm lucky because I could have lost my BTC and BCH as well, had I tried to sweep the BSV first.  

Btw, all my crypto is now moved to hardware wallets.  Phew!

Crap, I think this same problem just happened to me.  :|  I lost 115 BSV, ie $16,000. 

Using Coinomi desktop app for Win10, I was sweeping an old paper wallet that had unsplit BTC in it.  I swept the BTC just fine, then swept the BCH, but when I swept to my BSV wallet the Coinomi app threw an error "A generic error has occurred."

Right away I opened ElectrumSV to try the sweep again.  The sweep worked, but the wallet was empty - the 115 BSV was sent to another wallet.  Then another wallet, then another... and I wasn't doing the sending. Sad

Judging from this dirty-dog "spellcheck" fiasco, I'm pretty sure when I got that "generic error", Coinomi sent the error over some insecure server, and the BSV got sniffed. 

Come on Coinomi!!!  Test yur stuff we are losing our life savings out here!  Ok maybe not life savings but I could have bought a nice Honda Civic!!
