Is this a BCH or Bitcoin address

[Kencrypto77]

Hi! Guys,

I had transferred some BTC to Crypto-Bridge and i was told that i had transferred it to a bitcoin cash address. Can somebody let me know if this address is a bitcoin or bitcoin cash address. How does one figure it out?

there is no difference. this address is valid on both networks since bitcoin cash is a fork of bitcoin, so it shares all of its rules up to the point of fork. which is the address format.

if you have the private key to this address then you can access to the coins which are received by this address whether they are on BCH chain or BTC chain or any other fork which shares the same address format.

you can also always search your addresses on blockchair and see which chain has your coins.
this https://blockchair.com/search?q=17sumvN4GfhdDHLfbVSmyKDfPjwj2UY34e shows they are on bitcoin chain. https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/address/17sumvN4GfhdDHLfbVSmyKDfPjwj2UY34e

p.s. if Crypto-Bridge holds the private keys to that address then they have control over that coin (the 0.042BTC transaction output) and they have to manually import the key from their BCH wallet in their BTC wallet and spend it so that they can also credit your wallet on their website. they may not bother doing it since the amount is rather small!

The address can be valid for both chains however, it looks like it contain funds on the BTC chain while there is nothing If you check using a Bcash explorer.

compare this address with a block address and everything will become clear!

Hey thanks guys,

Even I thought I was being wrong but like you said it does show up on the bitcoin block chain but does not show up on the bitcoin cash block chain. Anyways I guess they got pissed off cos i kept posting and following up on their discord channel and thought they would teach me a lesson for doing that. Anyways like you said it is a small amount. And just to think I thought i was doing the right thing by supporting a decentralised exchange like crypto-bridge clearly I was wrong. Binance over Crypto-bridge most definitely. Crypto-bridge cheated me once but for sure I wont be getting cheated by them again. Thank you guys for your responses and helping me confirm my doubts.
