Ciao Pigi, of course you know Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash are two separate currencies, so if you send Bitcoin to your Bitcoin Cash address, or vice-versa, your wallet won't receive the transaction correctly. Grin

I think that Kraken staff will need to manually sweep the funds from the incorrect receiving wallet, into the correct wallet.
Here's how: since you sent BTC to a BCH wallet, Kraken staff will have to export the BCH private keys from "your Kraken BCH wallet", and import them into "your Kraken BTC wallet" (recovering those BTC into your Kraken BTC wallet). Wink

Even if the user has mistakenly sent the BTC to a BCH address, I'm interested on how the kraken support will act (no response, transfer funds by adding an increased fee, etc...)

The user in the italian board has published the transaction: https://blockchain.info/tx/434f06efd0de5fa85447e2c4946e806aa719747217539890833f5cc45c9b223e

The transaction has 2 outputs, the second is still unspent, so i think that the blocked funds are currently here:

https://blockchain.info/it/address/14fYNe2SBiXxtG3xCq4dP1Jfhv49gihnuv

Kraken currently holds the related private key; I assume, by taking an additional fee, that is entirely possible for the technical support to recover the BTC.

hey This is the answer of the Kraken support .....
this answer is really shameful

Hello,

Nobody is arguing with you that it isn't possible to recover the funds. Just like if you were to throw a diamond into the ocean; it is possible to retrieve it, but that doesn't address the cost or the logistics required.

Our answer is "we are unable to bear the cost or logistics required to rescue your funds, we are sorry we cannot help you."

Kind Regards,

BUT......

BTC and BCH share the same native blockchain
https://blockchair.com/search?q=14fYNe2SBiXxtG3xCq4dP1Jfhv49gihnuv

and the same "cryptographic laws", so with the right pair of keys (private-public) should work well in both current chains.

With the private key in his possession Kraken, he can sign a transaction to transfer those BTCs to a BTC account of Pigi66 account.
That's all....

if in the future my transaction will be used .... I could always denounce Kraken of theft. Angry

Thanks elizabeth

For this question? really there are no answers?
