BCH withdrawal to BTC adress

[aafreybtc]

Hello,


I accidentally made a BCH withdrawal to my BTC adress instead of sending it to my BCH adress. So i won't surprise you i didn't receive it yet.

Is there anything i can do about this? I read something about using a privatekey on your BTC adress to claim your BCH? Is this possible and how can i realise this?

I made the withdrawal from wex.nz to my bitpay account. The support team of wex sent me an email with the link of the transaction on blockchair. I also send an email to bitpay for support however i didn't receive a respons from them yet.

If there already was a topic on this subject i apologize for the inconvience.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Greetings.

The private key would be to import your BTC address to another wallet....
Can you post the link to the transaction?

Well several newbies recently have been making this mistake and sending BCH to a BTC wallet. Your coins will be lost forever if you do so. Since both of them are different currencies and they are not same you cannot "mix" the two.

You should contact support on wex.nz and bitpay explaining your situations to both. It depends on the website to take care of the issue. You cannot do anything about it. Let this be the first and the last lesson for you. Never send BCH to BTC wallet or vice versa, Never send OMNI tokens to Ethereum wallet and so on.

BCH and BTC are on seperate chains, so you'll need to manage to get your hands on the private key of the address that you sent the funds into.
Everything you can do is to wait answer from Bitpay team, and if they tell you that they cannot help you, then your BCH is long gone.
Best of luck, keep us updated about our situation.

Get in touch with Bitpay and see if they can help you out with this matter, I think there's nothing to do about , but who knows.

Only way! You contact to person hold BTC wallet you sent BCH to it! And request they help you! But i think is unable and can not do it at this times

If you did the transaction to a non segwit address then you can export the private of that particular BTC address and import it into a BCH client. I did a search for you on Google, this guide tells you how to export your private keys from you wallet: https://github.com/bitpay/copay/issues/5859#issuecomment-294537858.

I should have mentioned that the one who owns the bitcoin wallet, owns the private key. So if you sent to bitpay, only they can access the funds on the private key.
Bitcoin and Bitcoin cash use the  same private keys, so you can still spend the funds and they are not lost. Bitpay support is fairly quickly in my opinion, so you should not have much of a problem with that.

so my guess is 1LfqTBBFP the BTC address on topic here.
I'm not quite familiar with bitpay but I read that bitpay wallet user owns the key
if you have its privkey meaning you are in control of the address
you can simply use the same privkey and import into your BCH wallet
you need to ask bitpay how to extract a privkey of your specific address

Oh wait. Good point. Im not sure if OP meant paid invoice or sending into the mobile wallet.
I think that he should address this, before we proceed with the thread.
If it's a bitpay invoice, only bitpay can access the funds but if he was talking about mobile wallet, then that would be alot of different.

It was not an invoice from bitpay. I just needed some BCH on my Bitpay wallet to pay for something else.

Well OP, i guess it is your lucky day.

WARNING! THE NEXT PROCEDURE WILL REVEAL YOUR PRIVATE KEY ON YOUR DEVICE SO BE SURE NOT TO HAVE MALWARE. I suggest creating a new bitpay wallet straight after recovering the BCH.
On bitpay mobile wallet app, go to settings -> personal wallet -> more options -> export wallet -> put a password there -> copy to clipboard.
After getting a very long string, use SJCL demo to decrypt it. Put the password that you used on bitpay to the password field, then paste the long strange to the "Ciphertext" field.
It should give something like this under the "Plaintext" field:

Code:

{"coin":"btc","network":"livenet","xPrivKey":"xprv9s21ZrQH143K3PkFJNTnjrLPUMxfHbMLErmnea2xoTPU26KEdZHsu9cpVqqcui641Hjq4sQ7oycxh7UWSRALWDmSZsjXCJmgqJDUsGFiqWj","xPubKey":"xpub6DCEXCnvf13iV13dN6on3LPdQHqgk2JivfiGuhZvKpnMWfRPafMHaKBev5pVuhssR7fPBSevuZRML4U9b1mEacyPiJ8zhAKDxuwBoqwoQYt","requestPrivKey":"c326899ec07a6188f01c5bf6e252a7b7deb7876efcfbdc9a0c96997f778d7656","requestPubKey":"0310ede905976ea0a43c174dbe9ea320e6b851fb5fb0818ea82b4196d710c82f6e","copayerId":"217530644c7e059112a3979cc9c290d15ccc4c41fa745331e599819f82e87fdd","publicKeyRing":[{"xPubKey":"xpub6DCEXCnvf13iV13dN6on3LPdQHqgk2JivfiGuhZvKpnMWfRPafMHaKBev5pVuhssR7fPBSevuZRML4U9b1mEacyPiJ8zhAKDxuwBoqwoQYt","requestPubKey":"0310ede905976ea0a43c174dbe9ea320e6b851fb5fb0818ea82b4196d710c82f6e"}],"walletId":"0e35a5ca-fba1-4b21-b786-c8d8df444861","walletName":"Personal Wallet","m":1,"n":1,"walletPrivKey":"3a3eb46e3ffd138a5f30622f8dde9386af459002e77e27457e2cdec0a63315ce","personalEncryptingKey":"EeK/KwqfPBy8DtO63CYhjw==","sharedEncryptingKey":"O/BSl9i+98dKT2kUb2DEwA==","copayerName":"me","mnemonic":"view hope impose control wood bamboo scrub seed catalog tooth canyon zero","entropySource":"8affc9a9cab00b6c947dc9255cb2756d233bc2667f74da006aff8152c4042100","mnemonicHasPassphrase":false,"derivationStrategy":"BIP44","account":0,"compliantDerivation":true,"addressType":"P2PKH","addressBook":[]}

as you can see there is "xPrivKey" field at the beginning of the plaintext, copy paste that and download Electron cash. Then open it, press create new wallet -> standard wallet -> use public or private keys -> and paste the xPrivKey there which in my case would be:

then just press next, and your BCH should be spendable right away.

Let me know if you have any more extra questions (it is a pretty technical guide), i did write this guide just for you so i hope it is helpful
