I accidentally sent some BCH to a BTC address.... :( Anyway, wht happens to those when this happens?

Did your wallet warn you about that? e.g. with a "You're sending funds to a legacy address" message.

We really should use cash addresses all the time to avoid this type of situation.

Actually it didn't and I didn't know about that. I thought I just sent BCH to BTC. I saw legacy, bt didn't know what that meant. Thanks for informing me.

Probably gone unless someone owns that address and can send it back to you.. If it was a purchase like on Purse.IO you can cancel order and your money will come back.

Actually that may or may not work depending on your wallet. what wallet are you using?
replied 1724d
The address belongs to me. I checked the blockchain and it said it's been confirmed 16 times. Wht does that even mean?

Very cool! But the address I sent that to isn't a wallet. It's to my freebitco.in account

It can probably be done but you will need a technician familiar with that account that can walk you through it.
