warning！KEY and Erc20 (KEY) be careful of kucoin.com

[lypoint]

Both BihuKEY and SelfKEY are called KEY, and they are all ERC20 tokens, but they are actually different things. The contract address of BihuKEY is https://etherscan.io/address/0x4cd988afbad37289baaf53c13e98e2bd46aaea8c. The contract address of SelfKEY is https://etherscan.io/address/0x4cc19356f2d37338b9802aa8e8fc58b0373296e7. Looking at the contract, the abbreviation for BihuKEY is KEY, and SelfKEY is referred to as Erc20 (KEY) for short.

When KuCoin.com listed KEY(Actually it's Erc20(KEY)), I had some KEY hold by imToken, they used the same name, and the icon on imToken was very similar to the icon on KuCoin.com.  So the more than 30000 KEYs deposit to KuCoin.com. At present, the KuCoin.com notes do not return the KEYs.

So to remind everyone, even tokens all by Ethernet, even used the same short name, must check the contract before the transfer.

Hi,

a lot of people running into the same problems.

I have started several threads on reddit:

https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/8150er/kucoin_fools_customers_making_them_believe_funds/
https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/813x55/why_are_exchanges_so_uncooperative_about_stuck/
https://www.reddit.com/r/kucoin/comments/7qleh2/sent_the_wrong_key_to_kucoin_fucked_forever/

People should be aware of this.

And Kucoin is very very uncooperative.

Yeah and they cleary write any coin beside KEY deposit to this address will never be return, we cant do shit about that except start checking contract address before depositing anything. Cause lot of token or coin share the same name.

This is the problem if many coins in exchanges has a similar or slither the same name to each other. Maybe we must just double check those coin if that was exactly the coin we want to trade mate, or else if we got wrong, our coins will be missing forever. Lets be guided accordingly
