Coinexchange withdrawl, space included in receiving wallet

[KEETO95]

Hi there, I tried to withdraw my BTC from coinexchange.io to another wallet. I copied and pasted the wallet address to this field and I think there was a blank character space after the wallet address and coinexchange may have taken this to be a character?! The transaction says completed, does this mean I have lost my BTC or can i get it returned? Surely no I.D is attached to the wallet address. I have not received anything in my wallet. Thanks

Without knowing coinexchange, I don't think that they accepted an invalid address. What most services do is running the address through a trim() command, which eliminates blank spaces at the beginning and end of a string.
After that, the addresses are very likely checked for validity, so you should have received an error if your address wasn't accepted.

Yeah, I doubt you'd have seen a confirmation if you entered an invalid address, as above. If you want to double check, just look at the confirmed transaction and load the transaction ID on explorer. If that's not available, check the address you've withdrawn to on a blockchain explorer. It should show the transaction you just requested, whether or not it's confirmed. If you don't see anything there... then you open a support ticket. Been 7 hours now.

Any news.

It is quite strange that the exchange you are using doesn't have intelligent system settings to identify invalid addresses.
I also doubt your bitcoin might have been taken in possession by exchanger because network can't initiate transactions to invalid addressess that are having less characters or spaces.
You should raise a support ticket and ask then to prove how your system can generate such unacceptable addresses
