Crap, I think this same problem just happened to me. :| I lost 115 BSV, ie $16,000.

Using Coinomi desktop app for Win10, I was sweeping an old paper wallet that had unsplit BTC in it. I swept the BTC just fine, then swept the BCH, but when I swept to my BSV wallet the Coinomi app threw an error "A generic error has occurred."

Right away I opened ElectrumSV to try the sweep again. The sweep worked, but the wallet was empty - the 115 BSV was sent to another wallet. Then another wallet, then another... and I wasn't doing the sending. Sad

Judging from this dirty-dog "spellcheck" fiasco, I'm pretty sure when I got that "generic error", Coinomi sent the error over some insecure server, and the BSV got sniffed.

Come on Coinomi!!! Test yur stuff we are losing our life savings out here! Ok maybe not life savings but I could have bought a nice Honda Civic!!

Hi CW_Fanboy, your issue has nothing to do with the long-fixed problem described in this post (which was found to have been an attempt to extort Coinomi, by the way). As you said it yourself, you didn't split the BCH from the BSV. This means that transactions you make with one coin also happen with the other. This is described on our article here: https://coinomi.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/29000026274-bch-abc-bsv-fork-information-splitting

When you swept the BCH, the transaction was replayed on the BSV network. You can see both transactions with ID 148696fae3d9b84c4031dd2ebd84037c5f22cd6419209f3815dea8d4dc8a341c on the BCH and BSV chains.

Then when you sent the BCH to your hardware wallet, the same thing happened, and you can see both transactions with ID d2ad02be15b06dbea03be743dcb1d6cdcc84414de05f254eec88615a1283ff67 on the BCH and BSV chains again.

So your BSV is now in your hardware wallet's BCH address. If the only BCH you have in your hardware wallet is this one you swept, you can send it back to your Coinomi BCH address. The transaction will be replayed the same way as before, and the BSV will be sent too. Then you can follow the instructions on the first link we sent above to properly split your coins. After that you will be able to make transactions with one without affecting the other. Feel free to continue discussion on the support ticket you opened with us.
