So here is the story.
Yesterday I made a pretty stupid mistake. I have two electrum wallets. 1 wallet for bitcoins and 1 wallet for litecoins.
I bought a bunch of litecoins from this company: https://www.litebit.eu/en
During the buying proces I used the receiving adress of my bitcoin wallet instead of my litecoin wallet.
The order is processed and confirmed but offcourse I didnt receive the litecoin because I used the wrong receiving adress.

Is there a way to get my litecoin to my litecoint electrum wallet?

Thanks alot in advance.

Honestly that shouldn't went through, and the transaction would be rejected by the network thus 0 confirmations at all. Would you be able to share the tx that you are seeing in the block explorer you are using? Because I honestly think that you have sent it to another address.

EDIT; Just to add, you won't be able to initiate the transaction too since the client you would be using (in this case litebit) should tell you that the address you've hiven is not a valid litecoin address.

thanks for the quick reply dothebeats

my tx is: 2d027ba9fb4ca75a61b638f02bd43897e076be3582b8ba5a86eefe1efc37bdf8

And as response to your edit. When i try it again on litecoin it still give the 'OK".
As you can see in the screenshot Im buying litecoin but pasted my bitcoin receiving address. As you can see it says its a valid receiving address.

I am not sure if this will work.
But maybe you can try to sweep the private key of your Bitcoin address you entered in a Litecoin client.
Maybe Litecoin also uses 34xx... addresses and you are lucky and the private key works for it.

Although, I don't understand the technicals but I want to ask, is this the first time you will be patronising the site because if you have used them and no problem, then its your fault but if not, their system should be able to detect that its the wrong address in the first place before completing the transactions.

Also, I had read somewhere that both SegWit has been activated on both Litecoin and Bitcoin it then means there is a relationship between them of some sort. You can try reading that to know if there would be a solution.
