My previous post showed how you could transfer Bitcoin from Coinpot to Coinbase using a wallet address. When trying to do the same thing for Bitcoin Cash and Litecoin, Coinpot gave me an error for an invalid wallet address. I want to share details on how to fix this issue so you can transfer your Bitcoin Cash and Litecoin into Coinbase.

Bitcoin Cash

Earlier this year BCH changed its wallet address format to be different that Bitcoin addresses. Coinpot does not recognize this new format. To get your “legacy” Bitcoin Cash wallet address, you can go to the Coinbase web site and sign onto your account. From there do the following steps:

Select Tools Select BCH Wallet Select Details

This will display your Coinbase BCH wallet address in both the new and legacy format. Use the legacy address for your Coinpot transactions accumulated from Moon Bitcoin Cash.

Litecoin

Last year Litecoin changed its wallet address formats. The legacy address is not available from Coinbase, but you can translate your Coinbase LTC address into legacy format by using this website: https://litecoin-project.github.io/p2sh-convert/

Use the converted address for your Coinpot transactions accumulated from Moon Litecoin.
