<p>In any case, they probably still have the SCOTCOIN so maybe contact them fast before they sell it?</p>

<p>I had SCOTCOIN in a counterwallet.io address and I transferred it to a Coinbase BTC wallet. I wouldn't have thought the transaction would have worked but it did. The amount of BTC in the Coinbase wallet in no way reflects the going exchange rate.</p>

<p>What's gone wrong and can it be fixed?</p>

coinbase: "we will not be able to return any alt-coin funds accidentally sent to Coinbase-controlled addresses". So you can send one coin specie to another alt-coin address and the coin will simply be lost?

What's gone wrong and can it be fixed?

You *can* send one kind of cryptocurrency to another cryptocurrency's wallet. The transaction will complete **but** the coin will be lost.
