Hello, members.

I'm very upset and I want to cry.
Because I have nonsence situation.
And I don't know how to explain this foolish situation.

I sent 25,000 1ST to Yunbi exchange.
But I sent it to ETH address of Yunbi, not 1ST address.
It's my fault.
But transaction is confirmed normally with out any problem surely.
https://etherscan.io/tx/0xdee52d31f284be1e5f68a462ef31815e2e9c985ed41e3d987f97d74eb30412154

So I requested Yunbi to move my 25000 1ST to my 1ST address in Yunbi.
But Yunbi said that

"IT'S LOCK IN FOREVER. NO BODY CAN ACCESS THE TOKENS."

Following is a content of email Yunbi sent :
Hello Sir,

I am Mike from YUNBI exchange.
I heard you have 1 deposit of 1ST but didn't credit on your account.
After YUNBI's engineer check it carefully, we think we have find the problem.

You falsely used your ETH address as a receive address for your 1ST.
Here is the transaction history: https://etherscan.io/tx/0xdee52d31f284be1e5f68a462ef31815e2e9c985ed41e3d987f97d74eb30412154
The 25,696.95671504 1ST are locked in that ETH address forever, nobody can find them back.
I am sorry, the ethereum wallet cannot support that function at this version.

Thanks for your understanding.

Regards.
The latest version.
I mean the ETH wallet cannot support this function.
If you know how to release the token, we would glad to learn and help you release your token later.

Regards.
Mike
====================================
Hello,

Sorry, as an exchange, we cannot give you the private key of the Ethereum Wallet.
There are very little ETH wallets, all of them are controlled by exchange.
Not every user has a wallet.

Regards.

=====================================

I'm not a engineer, so I don't know why this situation is occurred and which technical issue is involved in this problem.
But, the confirm process has no errors.
And my tokens is in Yunbi's my ETH address normally.

I don't know What is the fundamental problem and Who is responsible for this my loss.
What I want is just recover my precious 1ST tokens.

PLEASE, PLEASE, HELP ME,..

While it seems user's fault to send the 1st tokens to Yunbi's eth address, I do not think it is reasonable for Yunbi to use contract addresses for receiving ethers.
A lof of users use their personal ether wallets for all other smart tokens. They automatically assumes ether address is compatible with all standard smart tokens based on ethereum.
Just showing some warning messages on the exchange is not good enough to prevent this kind of disasters. If Yubni wants to use smart contact for receiving ethers, they should implement at least methods to handle standard ERC 20 tokens.

Anyway it happened and the tokens are permanently burnt. The 1st dev team and Yunbi exchange both can verify the tokens are lost permanently. So my suggestion is to reissue the same amount of new tokens to the original owner if possible. If this is not possible, then the exchange may reimburse his loss, and implement ERC 20 tokens handling interfaces to prevent the future incidents like this.

I guess Yunbi is not a just small miner exchange for the 1ST project. If it has the strategic interests on this, compensating this small loss will contribute on a lot bigger benefits for PR effects.
