Accidentally sent btc to bsv address please help me

Thaks u sir i try contact the bittrex but my english so bad so hard to communicate

If it's really problematic, you can always point them towards this thread... It should explain everything that needs to be said:

Abra wallet is using their (bittrex's) api to create new deposit addresses (and probably to process withdrawals aswell).
You used Abra's wallet and created a new BSV deposit address.
You sent BTC to this BSV address
If they (bittrex) import the private key that was used to generate the BSV address into a BTC wallet, they'll be able to give you a partial refund (it would be acceptable if they charged you a couple hundred bucks to pay their engineer to perform these steps).

So, you'll basically need Abra to confirm that the BSV deposit address created with their api was shown to you so you could deposit BSV, then you'll need bittrex's staff to send you your funds back.

To be honest, i have no idear if abra is going to be willing to acknowledge this to bittrex, nor do i know if bittrex would be willing to export private keys from a BSV node and import them into a BTC node. Some exchanges do this for free, others charge a nominal fee, some won't help you at all... It's a roll of the dice, but if i were faced with this situation, at least i'd try to get my funds back.

I guess the solution is halfway through. I just received a mail from Abra support team stating that the BSV wallet is being controlled by Bittrexx and here is a copy of the same.

As you accidentally sent BTC to a BSV, our team is investigating.

Currently, all altcoin (including BSV) is handled by Bittrex. When you deposit BSV into your Abra wallet, this is handled by Bittrex and reflects in your wallet.

Although you attempted to send to deposit BTC to your Abra wallet, you did not send it to your BTC address. You instead sent BTC to a BSV address and Abra does not natively support BSV. Abra only natively supports BTC, LTC, BCH and ETH.

Please be sure to only send funds to the corresponding address in order to prevent this from happening in the future.

It's unlikely these funds will be recoverable but our engineering team is looking into this for you. Once we have an update we'll be sure to reach back out.

@mocacinno Here is the further evidence to backup what the Abra team said were right

At this time, Abra only natively supports withdrawing to Bitcoin (BTC), Litecoin (LTC), and Bitcoin cash (BCH), Ethereum (ETH) addresses from the app. Meaning if you withdraw these cryptocurrencies you will incur a network fee from their network.

...snip...

Anytime a withdraw is done for an altcoin you will be charged a bitcoin network fee plus a Bittrex withdraw  fee. As we do not natively support our altcoins at this time, they are still synthetic within the Abra app. When a withdraw is initiated for an altcoin the underlying currency is still bitcoin, thus you will be charged the bitcoin network fee. In the background, Abra is using Bittrex to exchange BTC for the altcoin you are withdrawing. Bittrex charges a withdrawal fee. Due to this, the Bittrex fee is passed to you the user.

...snip...

P.S @Macmacmac0020 ask the Abra Support Team for help and speak with Bittrex as mocacinno said since you have approximately sent $3500. Meanwhile I will just wait for the confirmation from Abra Engineering Team and see to that if it is of some help to you.

So this message is from abra ? They told me not recoverable .

[Macmacmac0020]

Can i say this message to abra support ?

I'd just send them a link to this thread instead... Since Heisenberg_Hunter has actually re-created your problem, they'll even be able to ask additional questions if they want to.

Oh abra can read this thread sir?

Oh abra can read this thread sir?

yes... They can. If they want to ask extra questions they can create a free account, if they just want to read these posts they can do so without registering an account.

[Heisenberg_Hunter]

So this message is from abra ?

Yes I have copied the contents of the mail which I received. They are indeed saying the truth and they most probably don't have the private keys associated with your BSV wallet. So bittrex is your only option to recover the funds.

They told me not recoverable

Check this

It's unlikely these funds will be recoverable but our engineering team is looking into this for you. Once we have an update we'll be sure to reach back out.

They are just trying it out and they aren't really sure if the funds are recoverable.

P.S @Macmacmac0020 Please pay attention before sending funds again to addresses and use a open source wallet like Electrum (for PC) and Mycelium (for Mobile) to store your funds in future instead of wallets like Abra, Blockchain.info and other web wallets.

[Macmacmac0020]

Any updates sir?

[MancyZz]

Accidentally sent btc to bsv address please help me
Please help me to recover my btc please

[Taskford]

Hey I found this online :
Source : https://bittrex.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000961172-Bittrex-s-Deposit-Recovery-Policy

Bittrex will attempt to recover funds which fall under three scenarios.
Crosschain Deposits
Removed Wallet Token Recovery
Unsupported ERC20 Token Recovery

=> OK GOOD

Not all deposits can be recovered and the time frame of recovery is at our discretion.

Please allow up to 30 days for recovery once payment has been received and confirmed.

=> you mighgt need to pay upfront ??

Crosschain Deposit Recovery
Crosschain - A deposit of one coin to a different coins address is considered a crosschain deposit

Bittrex will only attempt to recover crosschain deposits that exceed $5000 at the time of deposit, within 7 days of the deposit and will charge a 0.1 BTC for this recovery. Recovering coins crosschain is an inherently dangerous and time consuming process.

Due to our new Crosschain Recovery System, the minimum requirement for crosschain recoveries is $3000 at the time of deposit for the following crosschain pairs:

BTC to BCH
BCH to BTC
BTC to USDT
USDT to BTC

=> they didn't list BTC to BSV !!
Also, their minimum might be  $5000  because that pair isn't listed 
And finally, they would charge 0.1BTC
Hopefully, you are in the $3000 threshold they just didn't update with the BSV possibilities

[xranch]

Did you ever recover said BTC? It looks like the transaction was made to recover it.

[JoyMarsha]

Im afraid maybe abra not give my btc

Follow the instructions given to you by forum members on how to recover your btc from Abra. You can't just conclude until you have reached out to their customer care on Reddit. Their response to your plead will determine your next line of action of recovering your btc from Abra

I fear this question will never be answered.
