Topic: [help] retriving my coins from my blockchain address (Read 226 times)

The max limit for crypto withdrawals for a regular user, which is the lowest level, is 8M usdt per day. Besides, I doubt binance would have approved and processed his withdrawal request in first place if it was above the limits.

Obviously, OP doesn’t understand how bitcoin transactions work and he is confusing the transaction’s inputs/outputs with incoming (received) and outgoing (sent) transactions.
OP, if you don’t want to share the transaction id then I advise you to, at least, use mempool.space instead of blockchain.com. It’s more user-friendly.

If the funds are transferred back to destination address, which you say is Binance, then there is no way you can transfer those funds to any address.
Binance is the owner of those funds but what is unclear to me is why haven't you posted the transaction ID here.
I have already replied in my previous post to add the transaction ID here for better advice but you didn't and this raises my suspicion on you.
May be you are just trolling here.

I used to use Binance some years ago. I 've tried to search their withdrawal limits but for some reason I 'm getting stupid responses.
Is there a chance that, depending on your KYC level, the limits are less than 2 BTC and therefore they returned the money back to the exchange?

It's not stuck and binance has probably spent/moved the 0.5 BTC already -- that's just how it goes with CEX hot wallets. The BTCs move around a lot to consolidate them, process people's withdrawals, sent to cold wallets.

The problem is, they sent you less than the amount you withdrew hence, they still owe you 0.5 BTC. You just have to convince them to process a 0.5 BTC withdrawal (minus withdrawal fee) for you and that could come from any of their addresses.

But if you want the community's back on this as well, you have to convince us to by providing supporting evidences e.g. transaction ID + your withdrawal history.

It's weird, I never had such issue with Binance and what you're saying is true which is 0.5BTC sent back to the same address then Binance is in control of the funds and they can definitely return them.

To confirm what you are saying is true please share the TXid, usually Binance don't send a TX with one input and two outputs they just combine many withdrawals combine in a TX which is why we always see a list of addresses at both ends and one will be out withdrawal address.

Hi everyone, I'm sorry for the confusion; I'm just an ordinary investor trying to technically understand how blockchain works and "recover" the BTC that didn't arrive in my hard wallet.

Below a description of the facts so hopefully you can better understand the problem.

The exchange I withdrew the BTC is Binance, and the hard wallet I use is Ledger.

I made a transfers of 2 BTC from Binance to Ledger:

In the Binance statement, it shows the date, the amount of 2 BTC, the Destination Address, the TXID, and the status (which was confirmed).

Checking the Destination Address (I used Blockchain.com's Explorer),  I see a transaction summary and the TXID of the inputs and outputs.

Looking at the input transactions, I see the transfer coming from Binance with the 2 BTC

In the output transactions, I see only 1,5 BTC set to Ledger.

In order to understand why, I clicked on output transaction ID and I see two more Outputs:

- One of 1,5 BTC, which accually I received in my Legder hard wallet.
- Another of 0,5 BTC  which were sent back to the Destination Address (it is not a transaction fee)

Binance support claims that all BTC was sent to the Destination Address and nothing returned from this transaction.

Ledger support claims they can't retrieve the BTC that went back to the Destination Address since they just provide an transaction addresse to receive coin into the wallet.

It seems that the missing BTC is stuck in the Destination Address. I understand my problem is how to move the BTC which resides in the Destination Address.

You haven't mentioned any details like the amount involved and how much you got in your harware wallet.
You should be posting your transaction ID here to get more clarification on the matter.
With what you have mentioned it's clear that a change address transferred some of the coins back to the exchange's wallet.

He made mention of another funds sent to his address which was definitely not exchange, he said “part went to the hardware address”,the only logic behind that is change address,unless OP is checking wrongly and confused because it’s an exchange wallet receiving the transaction…his statement looks confusing at the same time so if he doesn’t mind pasting his TXID can help with knowing what’s really wrong apart from that,i t’s just a change to his HW wallet  which can still be spent from the HW wallet

You should paste the id of the transaction or a link towards a blockchain explorer showing the transaction and a picture of your withdrawal history from the exchange. If your external address(the one from your hardware wallet) hasn't received the funds expected by your withdrawal request, then it means the exchange has made a mistake. And you should ask them to send the part missing. The funds from the outputs returning to the initial adress are likely to be the change, that is to say the unused part of the UTXO, when you don't specify a change address, the change is sent back to the initial sending address.

OP is confusing that the funds doesn't belong to him appeared in the transfer ID and now he is thinking there must be a way to access them as well.

To OP, exchanges or any centralized platform usually send the transfer in batches which means more than one withdrawals will be combined to reduce the traffic on network as well as to pay less as fee which is why we see a lot of them combined when we withdraw and all the others were sent to the designated recipients.

It is difficult to provide specific advice without more information. Would you mind sharing your transaction ID (TXID) or your wallet address so we can take a closer look?

You may not had imputed the total value of bitcoin you have in that other wallet you tend to transfer from to the hardware wallet or you only had a view of your total funds in the at the feature of your total balance but meanwhile your bitcoin is split on mutl use because it's a hot wallet. So you either only transfered the one on particular use case while others are intact at where they're stored.
So check on the other features where your bitcoins are splitted there you'll see your other bitcoin. Then you can decide on your further transaction then.

OP, read everyone's answer to what you have said. You don't claim what you own, and I think they are right that you're talking about the change address that all of sudden have appeared upon your transfer from the exchange to your own wallet. Well, that other address that you don't know isn't yours, but it doesn't mean that it appeared and your coins was sent there. But if you'll give the address of your own and the TXID, then we might get a conclusion of what you are confused with and we might be the wrong one since you gave lack info.

You probably didn't use an exchange and I'll advise that you check the balance on your hardware wallet. Your confusion is coming from Blockchain analysis. Do the Blockchain analysis with your hardware address and not exchange address, if at all it was an exchange you used.

If you transferred it to exchange and you are explaining to people for a solution I think the name of the exchanging supposed to be known so that if there are available solution it will come based on the exchange unlike me I am having a change problem in a process whereby I sent Bitcoin in exchange but the value of the Bitcoin does not reach up to the amount to The Exchange accept instead of exchange to refund the Bitcoin the hold my Bitcoin and also said that they cannot refund the Bitcoin so I think that this you explain is similar issue with you my own experience in the exchange I use I know quite well that many people does not make use of this exchange remitano but is few people that knows about it if you don't have up to 0.0005 which wort approximately $45 of bitcoin your transaction will not be confirmed in their exchange

Firstly I would have suggested using coin control to spend the funds in the change address but the whole thing seems pretty difficult to comprehend since it was an exchange. At first when I read through your explanation of the problem , what popped up in my mind was that probably your exchange has something like a lock funds feature that caused all the coins not to be spent in one transaction.

I don't think it's possible it was moved to the hardware wallet and you still couldn't see it because in the balance display page you get the net balance including unconfirmed transactions if any depending on the wallet. Also I've not seen a situation where the wallet splits funds across its child addresses until you initiate a transaction.

I don't know how possible will it be that you are going to track your transaction when sending from a custodial wallet, exchanges are not going to allow you have access to the trx id, i also think the reason why this was appearing as if it was splitted is maybe you made a mistake from sending it, that you insert a smaller amount and it left some coins in the sending address, but i also see no reason why you cant access it again, if it were to be a transaction from your non custodial wallet, this could have been better, because we could check on many possible reasons for that.

This is a little bit confusing because, if the transfer was done from your exchange to your hardware wallet then the remaining bitcoin is definitely going to be on your wallet exchange wallet, because the transaction has change and exchanges usually just remove the amount you want and leave the change on same address. But if it was sent from hardware wallet then the remaining bitcoin will be on one of your change addresses on that hardware wallet.

So if it is the exchange as you have pointed out then you need to contact their support because the reminder is still there, except the exchange has limit of deposit and sometimes some exchanges confiscate the bitcoins below their limit.

If it the address is the hardware wallet address, just connect that hardware wallet to any of the bitcoin wallet like electrum and all the addresses on that wallet will display including the change

It's your initial address or your change address, if you allow your wallet software to use change address.

What if the batches add up to more than the amount I want to send?

What is the "Change" address on bitcoin wallet ? read to know !

Seems confuzing.
OmegaStarScream is correct. It must be a simple change address.
What you write above is strange... So, you say that "part returned to your address", but at the same time you say "the exchange can't transfer anymore as they've already left.

Assuming you had X btc in the exchange. Did you send all X to the hardware wallet?
If not, how much did you send? 50%, 70%, 10%?
If you sent 50%, does the exchange now have the rest 50%? If you sent 70% does the exchange now have 30%?

You said you transferred the funds from an exchange? It sound more like a wallet if there is a "change" address involved that you you can see you own? What's the name of the exchange/wallet you used?

You keep saying blockchain. I'm not sure if that's a reference to Blockchain.com web wallet, Or their exchange "The pit" or to something else.

It would also help if you could mention the hardware wallet used, and you could post the transaction hash for the withdrawal/transfer you made.

I transferred my BTC from an exchange to a hardwallet and part of them did not go to the hardwallet. Looking at the transaction in an Explorer, I saw that the exchange's transfer was correctly sent to my address (input) on the blockchain; but upon exit (outputs), part went to the hardwallet addresses and part returned to my address on the blockchain. I don't know why this split happened; but the fact is that I can't move the BTC that were stuck in my address because neither the exchange can transfer them anymore (as they have already left there) nor the hardwallet can retrieve them (as it only generates anew address to someone send there). Does anyone have any tips on how I can transfer these BTC that are there at my address on the blockchain?
