Well yours truly has been there done that and with no great success....let me explain....

Totally newbie to the Bitcoin world. Went to get a BCH wallet and put money on it, didn't even know what the difference was between BCH and BTC

Made 3 transactions sending BCH to BTC Wallets....when you check on https://blockchair.com/ (which I was advised to do by a senior member) you see that the transaction went through.

When I go on my BCH wallet I see that the 3 transactions are confirmed on blockchain between 60 to 197 times and counting. So as far as I know the sellers (sent it to two different people on 2 different addresses) received it. But they both have been pestering me that they didn't.

Now because I asked on this forum and I was told that they did receive it and because I see that the transactions are confirmed on my end I told them both that they were playing with me and they told me that I was messing with them. So now I am really confused.

- Are those BCH lost in limbo?  
- Did they receive it and are just messing with me?
- Can we send BCH to BTC Wallet/Addresses without issue?
- Would sending BCH to BTC create delays?

It seems that one person says one thing and one person says it's opposite....would be so great to have a definitive answer on the topic.

Here are the 2 addresses I sent to:

1A6y6LJ2qqLZoYP1ir2sUkaEZn3L6S2o2F = This one sent twice. Mr one

1EY9X5MHsNMtApZrBN22yd4uGhyWLSogKF = This one sent once. Mr two

Also other question on the back of this; Mr two asked me to send him my bitcoin address so he could check to see if i made the transaction. First of all he said bitcoin address and not bitcoin cash (but to get the record straight I told Mr two that I was sending BCH and NOT BTC and he said that it was ok). Am I at risk if I give him my address? and if I do which one should I give him? (I used the BCH wallet from bitcoin.com) and yes you can give me the answer as if you were talking to a 6years old because right now that's exactly like I feel.

Thanks!
