Dear members,

On 15.01.17. In a moment of carelessness, I made a transaction of bitcoins (BTC) from my coinbase account to USDT address in Cryptopia. I realized my mistake but it was too late and the transaction cleared with 6+ confirmations in a couple of hours.

Transaction ID: 27ddeac780978f24d49b493cc9b6b819a6d819e2d9c406fd5f1673246da814f7
Output address: 1DJheE2EGZsyXRG8SfeTtivSgbezL34bGB

the address I sent my bitcoins to is: 1EqkMgZaR8vaPQJ1gHjbNY75Cp9k7i1L6T

Their support is very slow in answering but they are trying their best. They have had phenomenal growth on the site.

There is a 10% fee for crosschain recoveries. Fee is only payable if he recovery is succesfull.

You can speed up the process by mentioning that you agree to the recovery fee (saves them having to ask you)

Bech32 cannot come fast enough. We need addresses that can be easily distinguished from one another and will be rejected if you enter the wrong address for a given currency.

Too many coins all using the same address namespace is just an added layer to the adoption challenge.

Unfortunately, bech32 does not fix the problem of lazy developers. When people create altcoins, they can (and will) just use the same addresses for their altcoins as bitcoin uses. The problem will still exist.

If they don't answer your support ticket or deny your request, your ~~USDT~~ BTC is gone.

FTFY.

I heard one way to do it is to find the private key and export this key to another wallet.

You obviously can't. This method only works if you send BTC to a wallet you control. E.g: Electrum, Bitcoin Core, etc...

They may be able to recover your USDT. But they may also charge you a fee just like they do with deposits sent without a required payment id:

Due to an influx of tickets of this nature having a significant impact on our support capacity as we continue to grow and scale to meet demand, Cryptopia is now implementing a 10% recovery fee on support tickets involving recovery of deposits made to Cryptopia where a required PaymentId/Message/etc are not correctly included in the transaction.

Keep in mind that they are literally the only ones that can help you. If they don't answer your support ticket or deny your request, your BTC is gone.

Quick edit: oops... Swapped BTC with USDT. Thx DannyHamilton

All crypto wallets on Cryptopia belong to them and they will not give you the private key for whatsoever reason.
You'll have to wait for support to reply.
They may be able to recover it for you if they feel the amount is worth it.

PS exchanges have a lot of load so you may not be replied to quickly.

the address I sent my bitcoins to is: 1EqkMgZaR8vaPQJ1gHjbNY75Cp9k7i1L6T

I checked with transaction hash and transaction ID and it shows my BTC balance.

I am new here to cryptocurrencies and invested all money from credit.

Is there someone who can help me out here?
