I played around on Betcoin for a while and accumulated some Bitcoins that I decided to withdraw into my wallet on LocalBitcoins. I don’t know why, but I always use LocalBitcoins to store my stuff for some reason. So I transfered the 0.2 btc, but I accidentally chose BitcoinCash instead of Bitcoin.
Who would have thought having very similar names and logo design would not lead to mass confusing. (Sarcasm.)
I was hoping that LocalBitcoins would help me resolve my issue because I have been a loyal client for a few years now. I contacted their customer support to ask if it was possible for me get my Bitcoins back. They told me a bunch of stuff about some private keys, and that they won’t be able to reverse the transaction and get my BitcoinCash back if they don’t have these private keys.
It’s kinda weird how they don’t have private keys for wallets THEY own on THEIR website. I mean if they don’t have their private keys, who has it?
Ultimately, it’s my fault for not being careful enough, nevertheless I am still pissed that 0.2 worth of Bitcoins simply went for a walk out of my wallet.
