Wrongly sent ETH to BTC Address

[letsrock31]

Guys,

By mistake i sent my ETH from an exchange to my BTC Address at Blockchain. The exchange shows that the transaction is "Approved" whereas i have not received anything in my BTC Address at the Blockchain. I know it's my mistake that i wrongly copied the address but what are the expectations from this transaction ahead?

Is it possible to recover my ETH? Please revert, need help!

Thanks.

The transaction shouldn’t go through when the exchange send ETH to your BTC address.

Did you try contacting the support of the exchange? The support should be able to look into this issue for you.

Can you post the Your Eth main address link here so we can verify what happens . This is impossible to send eth to btc directly ,

The exchange will receive eth back after a time when the the transfer will show some error , It happens some time ,
Best sol. Try connecting your exchange from where you try to withdraw the funds by the different media Twitter m, Email and many other sources

Are you spammer ?

Currently in my Exhcange panel, it shows that the transaction is approved. I tried writing to Exchange - reply awaited.

But what could be the time lag when the Exchange can find out that the transaction would not be possible? In the backend (for exchange), will it bounce back?



@newinbtc: I have checked for my ETH wallet and BTC wallet public keys on the domains like etherscan.io and Blockchain - but no transaction history appears.

Wohoooo got my ETH back. Thanks guys for the advice. Exchange gave it back to me in 30 seconds of conversation.

The wallet should had stopped this because it is the wrong address type so
i am not sure how this can ever happen

Yeah sounds like that exchange has very poor checks in place if it will allow an ETH withdrawal to show as approved to a BTC address. The formats of the addresses are totally different, like putting a zip code in a country field, a basic check should have given you an error and aked you to check again.

But here is a lesson to you an others. BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU HOLD MORE THAN ONE CRYPTOCURRENCY.

This time you were lucky, you tried to send a currency to the wallet of an incompatible currency. If for example you had sent BCH to a BTC address or another similarly compatible currency working off the same algorithm you WOULD have LOST your coins.

Take care. Check and check again. Cryptocurrency can be very unforgiving. But glad you got it back. Happy new year.

I am even surprised that the transaction went through in the first place I am sure that the exchange converted the money but if the transaction has been approved then you should have received some bitcoins if you didn't get it think you should contact the support staff.

Yeah, that was a lesson in my face !!!

Was doing an online transaction involving cryptocurrency for the first time. Though i did notice the address thing earlier while pseudo-practising this stuff .....but when the actual time came, in a hurry, i simply placed the wrong address.

Thankfully the New Year didnt start on  bad note Happy new year to you all !!

I reached out to the support team and they informed that the transaction had failed at their end. While, they did mark it "Approved" in my panel but when they executed it ahead, it failed. Thus allowin for a return in my wallter - only when i raised a case on all social media platforms !!!

Once I did the same mistake and luckily bittrex noticed it and never send the payment out. It was for 10 Ethereums. I think I was very lucky.
