(SOLVED) I accidentaly sent DOGE to my BTC wallet! How do I recover it? (GUARDA)

[WolfysLair]

I sent DOGE coin from my GUARDA desktop wallet to my GUARDA BTC wallet address...

Is there anyway to get this back or redirect it somehow to my DOGE wallet ?

Any help would be appreciated!


EDIT:
Issue has been resolved!!!

Thanks to the help of everyone on this thread, I couldn't have managed it without you!

and HUGE thanks to user "obolvlodo" for finding the solution (see below quote)

The BTC address I sent too:
12n1ZixhsJYtYx1kKaVBZmJdyxLQbTMRiF

The random address it was changed too:
D6v76yuMAiTB5xCM4AUk7XUEs64hws4HF5

I did some investigating...

The wallet should not have let you you send to that address. There is a bug in the wallet software -- it is not correctly validating the address that you entered.

Here are the address details:

Code:

12n1ZixhsJYtYx1kKaVBZmJdyxLQbTMRiF

Prefix:      0
PubKeyHash:  137b50a5faf530745e15d6f4cf756898cdcdc5fc
Check:       8c45d8f8

D6v76yuMAiTB5xCM4AUk7XUEs64hws4HF5

Prefix:      1e
PubKeyHash:  137b50a5faf530745e15d6f4cf756898cdcdc5fc
Check:       c25f3f48

The fact that the pubkeyhash is the same for both indicates that the wallet software accepted the bitcoin address and used it in the transaction as if it were a valid dogecoin address.

It may be possible to recover your dogecoins. In general, the way to recover coins sent to an address of a different coin is to take the private key of the incorrect address and import it into the wallet of the correct coin type. In your case, obtain the private key of 12n1ZixhsJYtYx1kKaVBZmJdyxLQbTMRiF and import it into a dogecoin wallet. I don't know enough about dogecoin and that wallet to tell you if that will work, but the wallet developers can help you. I would raise a big stink if they don't since it is clearly a bug in their software.

As far as I know it is not possible to go back on your transaction, that is, the dodge went to space

You can't send DOGE to a BTC address. Dodgecoin addresses start with a 'D' and no BTC address is a valid dogecoin address.

I understand that. As I said it was an accident. But I dont understand why it completed that transaction if it was not a DOGE address I sent it too.

Based on what I have experienced, it's like you can't get your coins anymore...
Dogecoin and Bitcoin have different networks, so when you send the wrong coins to the address ordered, the coins will automatically collide and disappear. *sorry for your loss

But I dont understand why it completed that transaction if it was not a DOGE address I sent it too.

Do you have a txid? Is your wallet custodian or closed source? Afaik, BTC addresses would be invalid and such a transaction should never be completed as they are two different blockchains.
If it's a custodian wallet, contact their support and request for their assistance.

DAMNIT!!! Well I've contacted GUARDA support. I'll wait for their response and see what they say. Not getting my hopes up though. Thanks for your help and information.

It is possible that there is a bug in the wallet that somehow allowed you to do that. It is very unlikely.

The wallet should show information on the transaction. There is not much we can do without that info. Post it here.

You can't say that because you don't have enough information, and the coins don't "automatically collide and disappear"

Just like on what others been mentioning on here is that its not possible for a certain transactions to go through on sending up DOGE on BTC wallet address and if you do make use of
non-custodial ones then this one will show some error but since you do talk about Guarda then they are the only ones who can solve out this type of problem.

Thanks for this. I will do this

It is possible that there is a bug in the wallet.

This is a possibility. I found this thread about a similar issue: [RESOLVED] Atomic wallet. Bitcoin sent to a Dogecoin address....
In this case Bitcoins were sent to a doge address and instead of the wallet giving an invalid address warning, it converted the address to a BTC compatible one and validated the transaction.

Sent you telgram message as I don't have permission to private dm you as a newbie lol

Replied. As I said, you'll be better off posting (*what details you can share) publicly, so the community can offer assistance.

This seems to be what has happened. It seems to be that the BTC address I entered when sending from my DOGE wallet was obviously not accepted and it somehow has changed it to a random BTC address instead of giving an error.

Here is TXID:
f60bc86bc7b475479a7e4250f2ea1795fe3b68f217ded0dd7e0365c97442a8bc

My DOGE address of which I sent from:
DHpy9KQguDKNfv8tHMBJwnnGcPx2DCncMk

The BTC address I sent too:
12n1ZixhsJYtYx1kKaVBZmJdyxLQbTMRiF

The random address it was changed too:

What kind of record are you trying to break? Doge to Bitcoin wallet how impossible this sounds such transactions should never go through in the first place that's an invalid transfer. Well, I have never used that wallet before but it looks like your coin went to Mars

If the wallet developers are responsible, they should reward you from accidentally discovering a bug in their wallet aside from refunding the Doge you wrongly sent to their bitcoin generated address.

odolvlobo, since you look like the tech guy here, can you give us some idea why this happened? Is it a result of Doge forked from a fork from another fork of Bitcoin?

.....

This thread isn't that long. You can read them to follow the discussion.

[odolvlobo]

Dogecoin is a fork of Litecoin, which is a fork of Bitcoin. Addresses are constructed similarly, except that Dogecoin uses a prefix of 0x1e to prevent confusion with other coins. The wallet software should have rejected the Bitcoin address because a prefix of 0x00 is not valid for dogecoin.

Here is the email I sent to GUARDA regarding the matter... hopefully they do something about it!

Help display your screenshot image.

OP, do you have a PK of that bitcoin address ?
I think you should try the steps suggested by @odolvlobo, so that you can get your doge after doing it if the suggestion works. This is the first case I have come across, I hope you are lucky enough to have your doge back. It is clear that the bug must be fixed by the wallet developer.

OMG!!!! IT WORKED!!!!! I got the Private key from my BITCOIN wallet and added a new DOGE Wallet using the BTC private key! holy shit ! lmao! well that email was a waste of time hahaha, but at least they are now aware of that issue

You'll have to await their response, while waiting you may consider the suggestion by odolvlobo.
*Edit: Just saw your message. Congrats on recovering your funds.

Not a waste of time at all. This would help them fix the issue as a lot of users who fall into that situation may not have a community to ask for help and abandon their funds completely.
