Yeah sounds like that exchange has very poor checks in place if it will allow an ETH withdrawal to show as approved to a BTC address. The formats of the addresses are totally different, like putting a zip code in a country field, a basic check should have given you an error and aked you to check again.

But here is a lesson to you an others. BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU HOLD MORE THAN ONE CRYPTOCURRENCY.

This time you were lucky, you tried to send a currency to the wallet of an incompatible currency. If for example you had sent BCH to a BTC address or another similarly compatible currency working off the same algorithm you WOULD have LOST your coins.

Take care. Check and check again. Cryptocurrency can be very unforgiving. But glad you got it back. Happy new year.

Yeah, that was a lesson in my face !!!

Was doing an online transaction involving cryptocurrency for the first time. Though i did notice the address thing earlier while pseudo-practising this stuff Tongue

.....but when the actual time came, in a hurry, i simply placed the wrong address.

Thankfully the New Year didnt start on bad note

Happy new year to you all !!
