Topic: I think my ETH is lost. (Read 344 times)
I have never experienced anything like this before, but as a suggestion, use a different metamask when you want to send coins, for example the chrome metamask for the ETH network, while the firefox metamask is used for the BSC network, so that everything has its own place.
because the bsc address is made based on and is similar to the ETH address, only different networks.
so if you create a new ethereum address then a new bsc address will also be generated directly as far as I know
maybe some people will add more detail about what i am saying

BSC add and eth address are almost the same, meaning you can send funds between those network without losing your money or ethereum because they have the same components. If the transaction failed then your eth will remain to your own wallet but if it succeed then your eth will be transfer to the bsc address that you've input. There's no reason to lost your eth because those two has the same components and maybe your just confused on the transaction that you've made.
the OP just need to change the network setting from ethereum mainnet to BSC mainnet
and if he can do it properly, i think he will get his ethereum in BSC network
I thought it would disappear.
where did you send the eth actually ? In a wallet or in a exchange ? if a wallet then you need find out first is the wallet support BSC network or not as you know metamask do not support bsc but we need to set it up .. If you lost it on exchange then why you not yet contract with the exchange team ?
I transacted my ETH going to my ETH wallet using the BSC and the amount did not arrived.
I guess I lost my money as I tried again using the ETH network and it came to my wallet.
My question is, why would Binance give you an option to transact with BSC if its not supported on the coin you transacted.
They have this questions that you will answer and if you will agree they'll send the transaction.
There you can somehow switch to different blockchains and your address can have several blockchains at once!I guess I lost my money as I tried again using the ETH network and it came to my wallet.

This is really all somewhat complicated, I myself do not fully understand it, but in fact-your one Ethereum address, 100% has also the address of the Binance Smart Chain!

Transacting ETH on binance has the ERC20 (ethereum onchain network) and the BEP20 (Binance Smartchain offchain network) You must be very sure which you want to deposit. While Bep20 or BSC carries a very low fee but both addresses are the same, however most exchanges don't support BSC deposit which may lead to a permanent lost if you uses the wrong protocol. I usually will take out time to educate the community I belong about this and some still don't still check creating problem for themselves.

It's lost. Ask CZ if he can give it back.
Thing is, the wallet you sent it to probably doesn't support BSC network, so it got lost in the limb.
Fun fact, if you import your wallet on BSC, you might just get it. (IE switch to BSC network on metamask and see if it's there)
I think we should know what happen if we send to the wrong chain by mistake. Importing the wallet to BSC should work but again either the OP or anyone who had this experience would tell.
I am curious to know the solution so i may try to send a small amount to the wrong chain and try to recover funds through this way, just for my knowledge and experimental purpose.

Personally, I do not understand what this is about, if a transaction was made, then it will be done. And this does not happen that the amount took and disappeared into nowhere. So you did something wrong. Try to do everything correctly to insert the necessary addresses. And the operation should be successful. I always use the Ethereum wallet and everything is fine, all operations are successful. So find the error in this operation.

I don't fully understand what you mean, maybe it can be answered if you visit this site https://www.binance.org/en/bridgeI guess I lost my money as I tried again using the ETH network and it came to my wallet.

If you mean sending ETH directly over Binance Smart Chain it's impossible, and it will never arrive to BSC Wallet.
There is a notification when you using a wrong network when sending a coin as a consequences you will lose your fund. But, just wondering have you contact the support? Perhaps the binance exchange can resent your found to your wallet again.
This is why, you need to be carefull when you send the coin in binance exchange. Indeed, there is two options when sending the coin using ETH network or Binance network. But, if I'm not mistaken, the binance exchange has a feature to read the coin address, if the address using the bc the network will automatically use BSC.

do you mean you carry out eth transactions using the BSC? how do you think. I don't understand what you are saying. or maybe you mean you change your eth with bsc then transact but the wrong bsc address or what? can you explain in more detail?

you didn't lose your ethereum mate, you just need to change your network from ethereum mainnet to bSC mainnet
and i saw a lot of people give you a useful link how to change your netwrok buddy

You're right he can still access his money after he adds the network settings. This is why I believe it is still secure as long as the private key is kept in a safe place!
This thread is actually helpful for me as well, I learnt how to transfer ethereum using BSC but I am not going to do is either just for my knowledge purpose.
Why wont use it? This isnt something for educational or knowledge purpose but rather it can really be used basing off with peoples preference which isnt a bad idea either.@OP, links and images been posted above is the best thing to be followed or considered.It showed that the coins werent lost, you do just need to switch up the network
to see of those balances.
I havent tested it yet thought but this is indeed a good learning for someone who arent aware.

Point is OP is trying to withdraw ETH, not BNB or any other tokens on BSC. Ethereum network should be on top of the list when withdrawing ETH, because well, 99% of the people withdrawing are withdrawing ETH, not some pegged token.
I said all that in a lighter note.
If it was possible CZ would have eliminated ETH to promote only BSC.
And regarding your point about fees, it's just a coincidence in this case. Take a look at this below screenshot for example. TRX would be on #3 and BSC on #1 if they were ordering by fee.
Now its seems it is based upon the alphabetical order
This thread is actually helpful for me as well, I learnt how to transfer ethereum using BSC but I am not going to do is either just for my knowledge purpose.
So you withdrew from Binance and used BSC as the transfer network instead of ETH?
I don't think your coin is lost. If you control the seed or private key then you can set up a BSC wallet on MetaMask or one of the alternatives using the same private key or seed, add ETH as a token, send the coin back to Binance, and then withdraw using the ETH network.
Beats me why Binance won't put ETH at the top of the list.. that would help avoid a lot of confusion on part of users.. I know they gotta shill their networks but come on, it's ridiculous.

If you noticed they are not shilling their network but placed it in the order of lower fee platform first , so people uses platform which have low tx and withdrawal fees
Make the ethereum transactions cheaper and it will be on the top of the list.

Also, I am not Vitalik lol, will let him deal with the fee.
Don't see it going down anytime soon though. Jump to:
