I was wondering what if someone accidentally sends Bitcoin Cash to a Bitcoin address?

I saw a post in twitter from one of the staff I think of Bittrex that they will not do anything if anyone accidentally sent BTC to a BCC wallet and vise versa. So better be careful in sending those funds and double check the address if address is correct. Don't even bother to open a ticket according to the post. Its irreversible for now. I am not sure with other exchange sites.

This two coins have different blockchain and if bitcoin is sent or accidentally sent to a bitcoin cash address it will surely failed just like the other kinds of coins if you do the same it will surely fail. So it is better to always double checks or make a triple or more checks before sending your funds, especially those huge funds. Prevention is better than cure just like the doctor said, if you know what I mean. Cool
