Recover BSV sent to a BTC address

[Osld]

Hello.

I sent BSV on my BTC address by hurrying (yes, it's clever ...) and I would like to know how to recover (if it is possible).

I thought when putting my private key BTC in a wallet BSV I could get them but it did not work so ....

If anyone knows how to do that, it'll be nice ...

It should work. Are the addresses the same on both wallets? Have you searched for it in a BSV blockchain to see if there is any balance in there?

What type of address your Bitcoin address is? Does it start with 1, 3 or bc1? Both Bitcoin Cash and BSV don't support SegWit so recovering your coins won't be easy if it starts with bc1 or 3 (assuming it's not a multisig). As far as I remember, someone used to recover coins of Bitcoin Cash users for a small fee, but I am not sure if he also does the same thing for BSV.

BC1 shouldn't be recognized as a valid adress format by Bitcoin "S" cash (or whatever the name is), which leaves 3... segwit as the most likely culprit.

I have no idea how you can ever recover that, but you're right i think there was a way to do so..? - https://news.bitcoin.com/hundreds-bitcoin-cash-stuck-segwit-addresses-might-way-get-back/ weird way..

Well lets see if this is actually the case for OP, and if it's not some other issue..

To start thank you for all your answers

My address started with 3, so I guess it will be difficult to find my BSV.
There is still a technique to do it or it's too complicated or impossible ...?

thanks for those links that are detailed

The way to recover these BSV via this technique seems to me difficult and I do not think it's "profitable" .... So if it's the one and only technique I think I'll give up ...

In any case, thank you for all your answers

Without a miner, you won't be able to recover your coins. It's not worth the hassle unless you lost a lot of coins. You can try looking for one on the BitcoinSV subreddit. Don't share your private keys with anyone. They won't be needed for such operation.

With a small amount of BSV in a SegWit address, giving up is definitely the easy way out. If it's a large amount, you may want to pursue it.
Either way, it doesn't hurt to keep the private key, who knows if it becomes possible and worth your effort some day.

Finally, the sum of BSV sent on the BTC address is not worth the fact to use this method so it does not matter and these BSV are lost (at least for the moment).

Thank you for all your answers that helped me.
