[Solved] 18 hours transaction and the bitcoins still haven't arrived

[Mastsetad]

If you have sent the bitcoins to a wrong address generated by the exchange then they should probably help you out on this because you have not sent the money to somewhere else but they were just sent to a wrong address, if they can really reach somewhere in the exchange then you will surely get them back.

I think if u read last 3 posts before yours, u would have understood that Polo did not generate any wrong address. It was an alt coin address, where bitcoin was sent. Now, no one has the private key. So, the bitcoins are potentially lost forever.

Try to send 0.001 again to same addres

Yes, I also found this tread meanwile and posted a response to the OP asking how the situation turned out for him.
He hasn't logged into this forum since September so I guess he won't reply any time soon.
In the meantime I am waiting for Poloniex's response to the ticket I opened yesterday.

Please let us know about the latest status of your case. Not accepting a Tx after 100 confirmations is very unusual.

The address that they sent it to was for a USDT wallet, not a BTC wallet. So I am sure that it has been sent and is sitting in at the BTC address with the same address as the USDT one used. Maybe I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure they are two different blockchains. So the coin is sitting on the BTC blockchain at the address sent to. The USDT address will not see the coin because it was broadcast and sent on the BTC chain, not the USDT chain. And since I'm sure no one has the private key for that BTC address, then the coin is essential inaccessible and might as well be considered gone.

I also make this wrong once ,I send strat coin to start address,they address rules are same,so i lost the strat coin.

For me this thread is useful.Thank you for creating this thread,even though you are the one who asking.This will make me more carefully when sending Bitcoin to any address.And i hope you can get your bitcoin back.But like other said,the chance is too low....Btw,update your progress when the pheonix replay your ticket.

UPDATE:
Poloniex response to my ticket:

Thank you for getting in touch.
Please do not ever send one type of crypto currency to the address of another type of crypto currency. Mistakes like this can lead to the complete and irretrievable loss of your funds and so always be vigilant.
However in this case I am happy to inform you that I have succeeded in recovering the funds for you.
They should be credited to your account shortly.
Please let me know if you feel that there is still an issue.


I confirm that the funda are in my account now.
I'm glad my money isn't lost :-)

Wow! I'm surprised they were able to do that. I wonder if they just gave you the coin to keep a customer happy. Care to share either the wallet address or the transaction I'd? I'm curious to see what actually happened.

I dont know how USDT address scheme works. But, it seems, Polo had the private key of the USDT address and could generate the equivalent bitcoin address private key from that.

So USDT is built on BTC, so the USDT address you sent it to sees the 0.148 as $0.148, so they just sent out the $0.148 to your BTC address which sees it as 0.148BTC

Strange, but I guess it makes sense.
