~1.27 BCH sent to Bitmain.....though how quite they marry up an anonymous currency with your order i'm a little less sure.

Most cryptocurrencies use kind of parity check on the address so, if you mistype, it's highly unlikely the address you type will be a valid one.

The greater risk is copying and pasting the wrong address. Some malware monitor the clipboard for cryptocurrency addresses, substituting them with the malware writer's address. So it's worth checking that the pasted address is the correct one.

The address you sent the payment to will most likely have been automatically generated for your order so it will be unique to you.
