<p>I purchased some ETH on an exchange which uses smart contracts, it is in that exchange wallet.  I have another wallet which does not support smart contracts, only "traditional" ETH transactions.</p>

<p>Apparently the ETH is not transferable between these 2 wallets.  I am trying to find information about if it is possible to transfer ETH from a smart contract wallet to a "traditional wallet".  Is this possible?  Is there a way I can convert the smartcontact ETH back to "traditional"?</p>

<p>If this isn't possible then it seems smart contract ETH and "traditional" ETH aren't even the same currency anymore.  Is that the case?</p>

I have put "traditional" in quotes because that is the term i've seen although i don't know if that is a correct term.
