Hi All,

Bit of an amateur question but I have a Kraken account and bitcoins on this exchange are ticker XBT and on Coinex bitcoins are under ticker BTC. I didn't realise there were different ticker symbols for bitcoin?
Also, I emailed Coinex to ask about sending Bitcoins (XBT) from Kraken to my Coinex account to buy XMV's but got this message in reply:

"Thanks for contacting CoinEx support.
BTC address is ONLY available for BTC deposit. Minimum limit for each deposit is 0.0006. Any deposit below minimum limit or non-BTC deposit will NOT be added to your account and it is NOT refundable.
Therefore, I suggest you DON'T deposit non-BTC on BTC wallet of CoinEx.

Kind regards"

Can anyone explain this to me please and where can I buy BTC?

Thanks in advance!

Anyone?

Pretty sure Kraken just list Bitcoin (BTC) as XBT, not sure why. But it is still bitcoin (BTC). Bitcoin Cash is listed as BCH. That Coinex site probably just got confused thinking you were asking about some random bitcoin fork called XBT.

Actually, what Kraken is trying to say is don't send one coin to a different coin's wallet, i.e. don't send bitcoin to a bitcoin cash wallet or don't send MoneroV to a bitcoin wallet. XBT and BTC are the same coin (bitcoin), so you can send from one to another.
If you want to change your monerov for bitcoin, send it to a monerov wallet on the exchange and then sell it for BTC. if you are wanting to buy BTC with fiat, you have to go through something different

Great help @raitpngman, thanks!
