FIRE RSPS GP

Hello @Huvudaxlarkna

Can you please describe the situation in more detail?
What was the matter of trade, how much did you pay, which crypto and to which address?
If you could also provide screenshots of your Discord conversation, e.g. "I sent [crypto] to this address [image]".

 

Hello again @Huvudaxlarkna,

Thank you for that.
I'm investigation the issue and have an idea what caused this problem.
I will reply shorty.

@Huvudaxlarkna,

From the screen shots that you provided, it looks like you agreed to BTC.

You did not send BTC, but rather a "Coinbase Wrapped BTC".

In other words, Bitcoin uses only 1 chain, and what you sent is another token on Ethereum's layer 2 network, Base.

Another thing I will think about and consider in this report is that @FIRE RSPS GP did not provide you with a Bitcoin address for the Bitcoin blockchain, but rather an address for a different token representing Bitcoin on a different chain, Binance Smart Chain, BSC, with a 0x prefix.

To my knowledge, Binance (not Binance-US) does not support Coinbase's Base network.
If I recall correctly, there was either no way to retrieve funds sent to Base, or there was, but Binance charged money to do so, and if I recall correctly, that amount exceeded the amount of money lost in this particular transaction.

I'll look into this further and see who is at fault and what can be done.

If anyone from the community has any valuable input on this matter, such as up-to-date information about Base on Binance, I would appreciate it if you would let me know.
