Stupid shit keeps happening

I did! But maybe I'm not asking the question the right way. Google just gave me a bunch of gobbledygook as well as Claude.

What Happens Based on the Address Type

• Valid Unowned Address: The crypto goes to an address that exists mathematically but has no owner. The funds sit there permanently inaccessible. [1, 2]
• Valid Owned Address: The crypto arrives in a stranger's wallet. You can only get it back if they voluntarily choose to send it back. [1, 2]
• Invalid Address: Many wallets and exchanges will detect typos or mismatched network formats and block the transaction before it is sent. [1, 2]
• Wrong Network: Sending crypto to the correct address but on the wrong blockchain (like sending Bitcoin to an Ethereum address) can sometimes be recovered if you own the private keys to the destination wallet. [1, 2, 3]

Exodus will let you send USDC -Eth to a PYUSD -Eth address but it then it's just gone.
It was my fault, just did it in a hurry and I accept my mistake. Where is it? I don't see the answer in what you shared.

I am going to digress (because I am curious) has anyone here ever received a random payment from nowhere? I see people saying they sent to the wrong wallet so frequently, it has me wondering.

If it is a very small amount you receive randomly it could be a dusting attack.

You can transfer your ERC-20 (Ethereum network) USD Coin (USDC) to a PYUSD wallet address on the Ethereum network. Since both tokens exist on the Ethereum network as ERC-20 tokens, they are natively compatible.

Do you own the PYUSD-ETH address? The information linked earlier talks about what happens for different cases for the target address - no?

What happened though? How did you pick that particular address?
