As your title suggets, the crypto gets lost. It is gone baby goneee at that point. That is why it is always important to read the instructions, they are almost always different on every exchange.

of course you will lose your money. so you better be careful in using the right wallet for altcoin you are dealing with.

especially if in their terms and conditions it is clearly stated that there is no way to restore tokens that are not listed on the wallet to be restored. we will not be able to do anything.

Your money wont be unrecoverable,unless the developer of the project or exchanges will send it back,but if your wallet was sent into unsupported wallet like those decentralized exchanges you are morelikely dont have any chance,that is why you need to check it twice so that you wont have any problems receiving your coins.

Depends on the kind of address itself. If you are sending any erc20 token to the ethereum address that doesn't support it it will never be disappeared but it gets stored in the ethereum address. But the developer is not supporting it and that makes the coin can't appear in your wallet. But if you are sending on the different blockchain and that will be lost forever.

That crypto will lost and can not refundable , so very important to make sure the address of crypto when sending and receive. My personality always send small amount to test everything right and running smothly, this is indeed take longer times and more fee but this way is safe and avoid any mistake.

Maybe it is likely a human error, this is sometimes happening on different transactions being made by different personalities, those errors could be found between the sender and the receiver. To avoid such different lost of coins/tokens we must double check the wallet code, and clearly put or paste it into your profile applications or to any business transactions being applied.

They will simply fly away and you will never be able to have that back. I recommend that you always check the updates if you're joining campaigns because I had an experience before where in I almost lost my coin because the bounty changed their wallet requirements on the last week. I'm just glad I checked it before it happened.

Unfortunately you'll lose your coins/tokens. Sometimes though you can't send or complete the transaction if the wallet does not support, but mostly, you can send it even if it is wrong. So be careful always in sending coins/tokens and make double checking a habit.

Very silly if amda transfer coins to market that has not support the coin.
Surely it will only be wasted. Previously check the coin listing information before sending it to the market.

Get in the habit of triple checking the address you're sending to, because if it doesn't support the coin you're sending, kiss your crypto goodbye.

If you sent a coin to another wallet of other crypto it will be lost forever. But if you mistakenly sent it to an exchange wallet, inform them and they can help you with it. I haven't experienced this but there are other members that have been with this situation and they are being helped by those exchanges.

If the address is generic, you can retrieve your crypto via the private key, but your crypto will be lost if the address does not support it.

As far as I know once you send it to a wallet that doesn't support it, it will forever be lost. As far as I know there are no reverse option when we send out funds to crypto addresses so it is always important to check the address first before sending one.

What do you mean if he is transferring a coin to a market that no coin list will be missing?
Yes indeed, you must first know the market of the coin.

It happened to me. I sent coins that were not listed in the exchanger. And I have not recovered it yet.

So we must be careful and know what we do well.
Because only one click will lose all our hard earned money.

This is noobs problem. I see a lot of cases like this before. Crypto is the place to learn.
So, make sure you digging more information about your coins, including the wallet before sending it.

Care must be taken in this case in another way. Or know what crypt is and where it should be sent to which wallets.
