I traded 200 CRPs to USDT and then transfered them to the wrong layer

It took me several months to get my first 200 CRPs. I then decided to trade them in the official exchange (crp.is) and I obtained 200 USDTs (more or less).
I then decided to withdraw those USDTs to a wallet changelly.com gave me to swap them for Digibytes (DGB).
I inserted the wallet address into the crp.is "wallet to withdraw" field and transaction was successful.
I'm very satisfied with the behavior of crp.is. Nice coded, fast, no crap info, just the useful thing for you to make fast transactions...

... Well, yes, but there's a thing:

It seems I made the transaction to an unsupported layer and I've lost all of my USDTs. This is the price I pay to learn there are different layers to make things in this world.

I wish crp.is warned me one or two times to check and re-check the wallet I sent the USDTs was in the same layer crp.is.
If crp.is were able to warn me one or two times, aggressively, about that before allows me to send the transaction, for sure I were paid more attention to the transaction.

Yes, I know: you can say I'm stupid. I am, in a way. In fact I now remember I read in some place of the crp.is web they were doing the exchanges in a specific "protocol". Now I learnt that protocol is indeed a layer and I need to operate in the tron one (TRC20), not in the omni one.

Cost of this course? All of my cryptons!!

So please, add an extra window to warn people to check and re-check this before allow them to withdraw the USDTs. You will make people a lot less sad.

A warning like this will be enough:

"Check the wallet you are sending the USDTs is operating in the tron network or you will lose all your coins. Irreversible . If you accept this conditions please select proceed"     (or something like that)

Hope this post can help somebody to learn what I learnt.

Yes. I will try to warn about this in my podcast. For sure it will help several people not to make the mistake I made.

If I can help only one person, it would be good enough.

Sorry about what happened to you but you should contact the changelly exchange since the private of the wallet address where the USDT was sent to belong to them and we have seen a lot of people that have this type of issue before that some exchange site help them to get back their fund though they pay some certain amount for the service.

Honestly this is very sad, going by the market at this time 1 CRP is equal to $0.6 and you lost 200 CRP Crypton that is over $100 . It's painful but am glad you took responsibility for the loss you become careful next time.

I hope we all learn from OP mistakes, the fact that Utopia ecosystem is very secured and supports privacy doesn’t mean we should drop our guard down, just like every other cryptocurrency when you make mistakes with funds it’s hard to recover

When you said transaction CRP to the wrong layer, I believe you're talking about the wallet address. Every CRP wallet has its own avatar, if you try to know the avatar wallet address you're sending CRP to you'll never make the mistake of sending it to the wrong address.

Ok from what I can understand is that you exchange your CRP for USDT and then you sent your Usdt to the wrong wallet or exchange you were intending it to go.

Yes, that's exactly what happened to the creator of this thread and the problem can only be fixed by the exchange where the deposited USDT was sent to. That's if they offer support for the service because some exchanges don't do it and I believe it is another way of them scamming their users.
In the meantime, people need to be careful when they want to deposit to an exchange that supported many blockchains so they won't choose the wrong blockchain for their deposit.

I don't think there is anything anyone can do in this situation, you have made the big mistake and that why you should have probably crosschecked before hitting the send button.

Yes, the user made a costly error, but it would be nice if the exchange could do something to help prevent problems like this in the future. I saying this because I've used an exchange that will always notify the user if they select the incorrect blockchain and will automatically select the appropriate blockchain for them.

Well I don’t think he is blaming anyone though but he is probably sharing his experience for some reasons maybe he is seek if there is any help he can get or maybe it can serve as a warning.
