Re: Is my Ethereum lost forever

I accidentally sent 10 ETH from my ETH wallet on Coinbase to an ETC (Ethereum Classic) wallet on yoBit.net back in 2017. This is a common mistake and I know it is possible for the receiving exchange to retrieve the ETH and put it in the correct wallet. The support team on yobit.net has not responded to me in all these years I've been trying to contact them. Is it possible for Coinbase to reverse the transaction given that the Coinbase exchange has the private keys to my ETH wallet from which the ETH was sent? I read somewhere that if I sent it from a private software wallet to which I have the private keys and not an exchange, I would be able to do this. Since Coinbase the private keys to my ETH wallet on Coinbase maybe they can do this. Or is it not technically possible for Coinbase to do it and only possible for YoBit to do it?

I've been contacting YoBit support for a few years now with no response.

I've also experienced something like this, after I contacted them they also didn't respond, I tried to ask friends who were active in the crypto world or something, they also experienced the same thing, that they suggested forgetting what I experienced this , considering how little the loss that befell me.

Finally, I conclude that this problem is difficult for us to find a solution to, there are even friends who advise us to be careful in the future, it's a good idea to also explain what has happened.

But if your loss is too big, then my advice is to try asking people who have more knowledge than us, maybe they can help to solve this problem, even though there are some people who can do or help what we are going through.
