Hi,

So I started mining ZEC a couple days ago and I just found out I pasted the wrong address into the settings. I used my ZCL address instead of my ZEC address. The miner sended some coins already. When I look up my ZCL address in the ZCHAIN I can see 'first seen today' and only the balance of my sended coins. This means the address belongs to no one else yet I guess. Is there a way I can reach my coins? Maybe choose that ZEC address manually in my wallet. It's just 0.06 ZEC but it would be nice if I can reach them.

Firstly you need to change your ZEC address to correct one. Secondly, try to write to ZCL wallet support, may be they help you

Im afraid your money might not recovered,sorry for your loss if the wallet doesnt support the altcoin you sent,probably it will stuck there forever.

Just wanted to say I got my coins back! It turned out to be very easy:

- Obtained private key from ZCL wallet
- Downloaded Jaxx: went to - Tools - Transfer ZEC Paper Wallet
- Copied the Private Key from ZCL wallet

Hope this helps other people with the same problem  Wink
