I've also withdrawn LTC to a BTC address from BTC e before by mistake.

Support reimbursed my account without any drama

They reimbursed me without drama.

You CANT send LTC to a BTC address. So your coins are still at BTC-E. The Litcoin daemon would have never been able to send it.

I'm missing my own LTC withdrawl from yesterday and I didn't make any errors in the address. I guess support is still overwhelmed  with everything else. Fingers crossed.

Isn't there any ERROR checking in the code that says

Code:
if first char of address =/= 'L', then output "you are a dumb - you cant send LTC to that address lol"

? Cheesy

If you can get the private key for the BTC address, it can probably be converted to the private key format used by Litecoin.  My understanding is the public/private key scheme is identical, just with different flagging bytes to say "this is a litecoin key" etc.

Apparently it's impossible to send LTC to a BTC address. I'm waiting for a response from their support.

Ok I realize now that this isn't possible. But my coins are not showing in my balance?!
I've messaged BTC-E, so hopefully I'll get my coins back soon and I'll reply again in this thread.

I'd probably say you just released your coins into the airlock of space man. I don't think they can come back, as far as I know. BTC-e may have a solution but how do I know, I stopped using them because of constant site crashes for me.

What was the address? Was it accepted into the litecoin block chain?

I accidentally sent some LTC from BTC-E exchange to my BTC address on a different website.
I'm in limbo right now, my funds aren't showing up anywhere. Don't tell me they can be spent cross-currency like this!?
