Is it possible to understand where the coins were sent, or are they lost?
For that, you need to post the transaction ID issued by the pool.
FYI, that "Lightning Node ID" is a compressed public key derived from your wallet's "lightning_xrpv" key.
If I were to guess, the pool might have derived an address from that public key to send your bitcoins, but don't take that as an answer yet since it's a guess not based from actual data.

Note: if it blindly accepts invalid recipients like your Electrum's lightning node id, chances that it's either poorly written or scam.
Care to send the name of the pool that you're talking about and how did you mined there?

How exactly? I can't seems to find any BTC address when I open my channel details.

You choose to withdraw from the mining pool and then select lightning option and accidentally paste a BTC address?
I don't think there's a way to recover that but I think it shouldn't be valid if you pasted a BTC address instead of invoice.

Try to contact the mining pool where you withdraw BTC through lightning network the transaction might be rejected, and the funds sent to your address might be sent back to the mining pool.

Hello! When withdrawing bitcoin from the pool, I indicated the address of my wallet specified in "lightning node id", which is incorrect. The transfer was made, but the Bitcoin did not arrive to the wallet. Is it possible to understand where the coins were sent, or are they lost?
