I made a withdrawal in an exchange. Long story short, it was a withdrawal of 0.04xxx btc but input a BTX address as recipient.
What would happen to the system ? Would BTC blockchain mark it as invalid address ? or my BTC is a goner.
BTW, ticket created but haven't had anything from the exchange.

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

The transaction is not reversible and BTC are lost, but there may be a very little chance to get them back. Some members here in forum accidentally sent BTC to BCH address. If they sent to an address, where they owned private key, they simply could import it to a BTC wallet and BTC appeared. But I don't know, if that could also work with BTX. Ask your question also on technical support:
