Bitcoin : Accidentally sending BCH to a BTC wallet
I didn’t think this could happen but I only use BTC. I posted a few min ago reaching out for help because a customer of mine sent me funds that took a long while to get. This is her first ever transfer using crypto so she’s brand spanking new. She sent me her screenshot of the transfer complete on her end and turns out she purchased BCH instead of BTC and sent to to the address I provided. I always use a legacy address, no real reasoning behind why I chose to send my legacy wallet info except for the other wallet addresses aren’t always compatible, the sender will say it won’t send or no such address so I’ve been receiving with a legacy address. I’m not a seasoned crypto guy by any means, I’m still learning myself, I’m not quite sure of the difference between a legacy route and default or compatible route. With that said, I was able to spend a little time on google and retrieve the transaction myself so if I can do it, anyone can!
Customer: used coinbase to buy and send bitcoin cash
Me: provided my legacy address from Coinami
Here’s the link of the steps I took provided by coinami, it was super super easy. I did it all from my phone, no computer/laptop. Took all of 5 min, took more time to write down and type in my recovery phrase than getting the bitcoin cash into my BCH wallet. I went ahead and created anBCH wallet as soon as I noticed she sent cash and not coins.
Good luck and I hope I was able to help someone out! Coinbase told her she was basically SOL so they aren’t any help.
