  • @Gamster420
    @Gamster420 Месяц назад

    The last example isn't explained well. If i understand correctly: If you send ETH to non EVM, then it does sit on the chain under that address, but you cant generate the private key with you your etherium seed phrase? So that is similar to scenario 3?

    • @Otome_chan311
      @Otome_chan311 Месяц назад

      The actual answer is that chains are entirely unrelated except shared addressing in some cases. To send from eth to polygon you have to bridge the assets. Centralized exchanges typically do this automatically for you. If you select incompatible chains then it's up to the exchange what happens ultimately. Since they're handling the bridging. But wrong address = funds are lost. If you just select wrong eth l2, same keys are used everywhere so you can access bridged funds.

  • @ciprianstanciu7
    @ciprianstanciu7 Месяц назад

    There's a 4th posibility : you initiated a transaction but your internet or power went out. Your wallet thinks you don't have that amount but everyone else doesn't know that so unless the wallet can rebroadcast the transaction on demand your funds are stuck. Happened to me :|

    They really need to solve this problem before mass adoption.
    [Possible solution]
    I reckon you send to recipient, recipient acknowledges receipt, sends message to sender confirming something known to both (say passcode), sender then accepts validity. Only if all three occur does the transaction get finalised. Otherwise transaction does not finalise.

      If the TX shows that coinbase received it you should contact their customer support. If you use sol in self custodial wallet and send to the SOL address coinbase gives you, you should receive the funds fine. I've done this numerous times. Sometimes it takes a second for coinbase to show it.

    Technically the transaction is UNVERIFIED AND LACKs FULLY INFORMED CONSENT so it a illegal and unlawful transaction that should be canceled and returned to the owner, so the transaction Should be REJECTED AND RETURNED. But we dont have the crypto legal regulation structured required to RETURN TO SENDER incorrect transaction.
    ALL TRANSACTION ARE A CONTRACTUAL EXCHANGE OR FREE TRADE BY FULL INFORMED CONSENT OF ALL INVOLVED IN THE TRADE OR PURCHASE AND ILLEGAL TRANSACTIONS AND TRADES SHOULD BE CANCELED.
    If there is not individual on the other side of a crypto transaction they cant consent to the transaction so the contract should fall thru and be dissolved and rejected Thus all assets should be returned to their owners.
