I accidental sent my DENT(DENT) to DENTaCoin(DCN)? stupid me. i did CTRL + F . saw dent and processed it

from Kucoin to hitbtc . what should i do ? the transaction went through successfully.

What can I do?
 
I'm no expert, but in most cases it is lost. And I'm pretty sure on Kucoin it says if you do this it's lost. Maybe wrong.
 
They're not lost. Whoever controls those private keys can recover your tokens.

 
As to the best of my knowledge, I think it is a case where you won't allowed to dispute. So check many times before you send your coins. Try all websites or send a ticket to customer support.

You are right. Kucoin (like it did with many other users in OP's situation) might refuse to help. If both DENT and DCN are Ethereum tokens, there might still be a chance for recovering the coins.

Some Ethereum tokens have a protection against this and will return the money to the sender.

If this token doesn't have this then you most likely lost it.
