I have bitcoin coming to my waves wallet for some reason

[Tripp Hammond]

I think some one sent you a fake coin using bitcoin's name. As the waves blockchain and the bitcoin blockchain are very different; so it wouldn't be possible. Be safe, don't fall for any possible scam.

It might be a technical problem and I will urge you to consult the support team on it and find a possible solution it rather than something bad happening to your main balance. This hithces should be reported so that in case future compromise of your wallet , you can get a reference.

waves wallet support some altcoin and i think you got an altcoin but its symbol same as btc.
bitcoin code and wave codes different from each other.

I'm receiving those small btc transactions in my waves wallet too. I've changed about 4400 satoshi into about 0.14 waves, just to see if this strange airdrop stops.

For those who say that you can't have btc on waves platform i have a question: have you ever used waves wallet!?!?  On waves wallet you can store even other cryptocurrencies.... Just give a try before giving false information: https://client.wavesplatform.com . Offcourse they are stored in tokens form, so for example the satoshi i've exchanged wasn't real satoshi, but was worth the same as real satoshi at this moment.

Anybody knows where that strange airdrop is coming from???

Now, what is the exchange where I can sell these waves tokens called "bitcoin" for real bitcoin?

These tokens called 'bitcoin' are worthless.
They are not related to bitcoin at all. Someone just named a senseless token 'bitcoin'. Probably to scam other people.

no, it's not worthless. WBTC is the real asset/token which represents bitcoin on waves platform
in fact, we can make deposit of US$, EURO, BTC, LTC, ETH and more through official waves gateway
in return we receive appropriate token representing such coin/currency on waves platform
we just need to be careful because there are some fake assets with similar name

@ridertiger on waves wallet dashboard, if it's the real WBTC you will see the amount on your BTC balance
there is a minimum amount if you want to withdraw to your bitcoin address, something like 0.01 BTC I think

So, here is a record from LATEST TRANSACTIONS in my waves wallet at https://waveswallet.io/
Date: 10/22/2018
Type: Incoming Mass Payment   
NAME:   Bitcoin
RECIPIENT:   n/a   
FEE:   0.051 WAVES
UNITS:   0.00011680

However, when I go to my portfolio in the same wallet, it shows 0.0000408 bitcoin.
How come my total bitcoin is less than what is arriving?
I dont where the bitcoin is coming from.

First, calm down. Waves's platform is a centerless platform. Therefore, a large number of token is produced. I've got 1000 Bitcoins recently. Don't be fooled by what Bitcoin wrote, it's just a Waves token. If you look at the explanations, you will see what Bitcoin wants. Don't send , of course. It is completely fake.

Exactly Thirdspace. You are right. I've try to explain the same, but everybody keep writing without even have ever open waves wallet.

[Addisyn Sellers]

Waves and Bitcoin are completely different and in no way would it be possible to get Bitcoin in the transaction. It might be some other coin that is being renamed to Bitcoin and sent to you. My advice would be to would be to ignore the name since it seems like someone is trying to prank you.

[sheamus10]

In the crypto markey, it is unlikely that any one will send you Bitcoin by mistake. Though, there is no explanation for the 0.0000408 btc balance in your account, you should ignore it. From the look of it, someone is trying to prank you. Ignoring it, will be safe option, of course.

That's right what you say If indeed the source is not clear it would be better to just ignore it, let's just say it's a bonus because you use waves wallet.

[towi078]

Looks like it's not genuine bitcoin, maybe just a trash token named bitcoin. Because what I know, there are lots of garbage tokens on the platform waves

That transaction is really not a bitcoin transaction I think that name of the transaction is Been named bitcoin as in to catch up your attention definitely wave is for altcoin on the waves wallets.

[jerry0]

are you using old waves wallet or the new one?

[Grauhar69]

This is probably a glitch or system error on Wave's part. Please contact the Waves team for further support.

[Gwiladan211]

Bitcoin's address is different. The coin that you are using is altcoin not bitcoin. It is better to contact the support team of wave wallet for the errors.

[Maoper602]

You actually dealing with an altcoin, my friend. You need a proper bitcoin wallet address for it. I think that wil;l solve your problem.

[Mirendabaen212]

There can't be any technical error. Someone might be playing with you with some fake coins. I don't see any other explaination.

[Dextract]

Wait whats your problem ? is it you are receiving btc for free or you are getting less bitcoin from what is shown in the transaction ?

[ridertiger]

I got this same coin in my waves wallet. I just use this coin to pay fee in waves platform. If you want to transfer some coin from waves wallet to another exchange, you can use this coin as fee instead of waves.

This is interesting, I did not know we could use this token to pay for fees. Thank you.

On waves network, there are some tokens. One of them is bitcoin token. You can change the bitcoin token with a real bitcoin on exchange.
Maybe there was someone who send you a bitcoin token, but i still don't know why it shows only 0.0000408 bitcoin on your balance. But it is weird that you don't know where is the bitcoin came from.

Maybe Roger is making shitcoins on Waves now?
