I noticed that I mistakenly sent out from my Counterwallet 10,012.91 SJCX and 0.41375433 XCP (Source 1577tKstdc5u9UFcG85CV8YsNArJhBMkuy , ( [https://counterpartychain.io/address/1577tKstdc5u9UFcG85CV8YsNArJhBMkuy](https://counterpartychain.io/address/1577tKstdc5u9UFcG85CV8YsNArJhBMkuy) ) to BTC 1MW4ZundALRhcN3iryXARsUub1LvnyAqGB address in AUGUR system ( [http://blockscan.com/address?q=1MW4ZundALRhcN3iryXARsUub1LvnyAqGB](http://blockscan.com/address?q=1MW4ZundALRhcN3iryXARsUub1LvnyAqGB) ).  
I realized that I had to first swap cryptocurrency SJCX and XCP exchange to BTC and then send to BTC address 1MW4ZundALRhcN3iryXARsUub1LvnyAqGB in the AUGUR system, so that I might buy AUGUR Reputation tokens.

Tell me, please, how can I fix this error?

Do you hold the private key to 1MW4ZundALRhcN3iryXARsUub1LvnyAqGB ?

If yes, you can “sweep” the tokens back into Counterwallet.

If no … I’m not familiar with AUGUR but I assume it’s a crowdsale and someone at AUGUR holds the key. Please contact their support and hopefully they’ll be helpful. I’d offer some tip, as it takes a manual, a bit cumbersome, process to recover your assets.

I do not have this address 1MW4ZundALRhcN3iryXARsUub1LvnyAqGB private password. The address generated by Augur portal for my account in order to I bring him to BITCOIN’s, I could buy them for Augur rep tokens.

The Augur helpdesk I have already addressed. They gave me a negative answer:

Unfortunately, there’s no way I know of to fix it. Those addresses are blockchain.info forwarding addresses and we don’t have the private key to unlock the funds sent to them (they just forward to our multisig account).

Im sorry to inform you that without the private key, your SJCX are sadly lost. That is the nature of decentralized programs, no help desk for things like this 😕

Why not allow the system (not prohibit) of one kind of cryptocurrency address to send their units to another type of cryptocurrency address and has lost all ends? Why there is no protection?  
It is wrong !!!

its not a different kind of cryptocurrency, counterparty is on top of bitcoin, so you can send counterparty tokens to any bitcoin address. Your SJCX are exactly where you sent them as the protocol works, but you need the PK to move them just like you need a BTC PK to move BTC.

It is frustrating, but remember that all of crypto is in beta, and mistakes like this do happen.

Is this the same as your trezor wallet post?  
Do you have the private key of the bitcoin wallet?
