sent btc to my bch address

-1

OK so I have a wallet on Blockchain.info. It is able to receive btc bch and eth coins. My friend sent me some btc but I accidently gave him the bch address. Am I screwed? Can the btc arrive in the wallet through a bch address?

it's not possible to get these Bitcoins back. since the bitcoins sent to an address on another network. and nobody has the private key of this address.

That's not true, because Blockchain.info has them, but their support is either unwilling or unable to retrieve them. Just check the dozens of other similar questions here on SE.Christiaan Westerbeek 2018-01-12T21:36:05.660

This is a big charge against blockchain. because they claim they are using client-side encryption, its open source project and nobody ever has access to private keys.Adam 2018-01-12T21:46:25.293

I suppose my comment may be false. Coinbase is known for being able to retrieve private keys in these cases. maybe blockchain.info is truly unable to do that.Christiaan Westerbeek 2018-01-12T23:00:53.947

It is possible to recover as long as you control the key.
