Did you get your coins back? Just a curosity. Please update this thread . Its will be usefull for others too who sent coins
to other coin address by mistake in localbitcoins so that they will know the outcome in advance instead of writing mails and desperately waiting for the support system mails.

I think you already know the answer Grin

because it looks like it will be very difficult to get back the assets that we sent to the wrong wallet and maybe even impossible for us to get it back, the OP sends some litecoin to the BTC address and of course the two addresses have different networks, even I have personally sent a number of usdc from usdc bep20 to the usdc address that I have on the Indodax exchange platform, but apparently the two platforms have different wallet networks so I automatically lose the usdc that I have, with this experience we should have more be careful and check before sending crypto from one wallet to another

sure sometimes they could have it back themselves

I'm pretty sure it means they could easily recover when they wanted to but that doesn't mean they'll send it back to the user. They'll probably charge some fee for the recovery, or just blatantly collect it for their own purpose.

May be if the platform set update or added LTC to wallet just like blockchain wallet have BTC, LTC, the rest coin, then you coin LTC will appear in your wallet.

I'm afraid you can't get 'em back anymore, at least not anytime soon. They might do a mass recovery just like coinbase in the future, after all it's money sitting around so from time to time keep an eye on your LTC to check whether it moved or not

That sucks man Sad

Hopefully their support can help you get it back. Judging by what some of the others are saying in this thread it sounds like you still have a chance.

LocalBitcoins wallets support only Bitcoin. Transactions sent to LocalBitcoins receiving wallet addresses that contain unsupported cryptocurrencies cannot be reversed or recovered.

technically its possible. but looks like administerally they just dont want to.
still worth a try asking

Yes it is possible but certainly it is not possible from LBC support and the amount is not that much to bring some kind of consideration from them. Or if OP has pro trader status then he may influence the support system to help in this case.

I sent from Binance 1 LTC to Localbitcoins which is BTC.

You will need a private key of that Bitcoin address.

My 1 LTC is lost now?

It depends on your access to the private key of that Bitcoin address. If you can not get support from Localbitcoins and can not get that private key, you will lose your Litecoin.

Without private key, you can not import it to a Litecoin non-custodial wallet and claim your Litecoin.

LoyceV's Bitcoin Fork claiming guide (and service). You can do this or use a service but the mandatory thing is a private key. You must have it.

transactions dont use 'address' in raw data format. but keys.. meaning your kinda in luck. alls not lost

in short
ask localbitcoin to locate the private key for the BTC address you used.. import that btc private key into litecoin wallet so they have access to the ltc coins

and then send you the coins to a LTC address you want the refund
(or ask them to associate that ltc key as your localbitcoin deposit balance address)
