You can't send XMR to a BTC address. The wallet software should reject it as not compatible.

The only chains with some decent logic is Ethereum (ETH) where lots of the code contracts have an "auto-return" code built in when a mistaken deposit is sent.

Otherwise, you're just fucked. Always, always, always triple check the addresses.

Nobody ever truly learns that lesson until they lose money. Sometimes it can be $10. Sometimes it is $100. Sometimes it is $1,000.

For me it was $17k a decade ago and I learned that lesson REAL FUCKIN' QUICK.
