Why does a bitcoin transaction become invalid

[neku]

A customer has sent a large number of vendors BTC payment, yet most of these vendors have not received payment. When the transaction is checked using blockchain explorer, the transaction is shown as invalid. What could be the reason for the transaction failure?

I think it is because sometimes the wallet address is not recognised during the transaction

I have never heard of a story of an invalid Bitcoin transaction, if it is due to an address error or using another crypto address such as BNB then it is not on the blockchain explorer which means there is no transaction, not invalid.

For me l have never heard about something like that in my entire life. I think that is one of the misconceptions about the history of the crypto currency.

An invalid transaction can be one that does not pay enough fee to enter a block of transactions in the mempool, it can remain for about 1 week in the limbo of the mempool until it returns to the wallet of origin and is rejected, using this mechanism of Bitcoin is known as replace by fee.

In 2017 I encountered an incident of Bitcoin transaction delays of more than seven days due to heavy Bitcoin transaction traffic, but it was not an invalid transaction but had not been confirmed. But the transaction was still valid. So I just had to wait for confirmation.

For me l am still very new on the crypto currency industry and l am really yet to find that out for sure.

Bitcoin addresses are arranged in a certain format, so if the wrong address is used for Bch address, it will not be listed in the Bitcoin blockchain. If the address is written incorrectly or is an invalid address, it will be sent to someone else. The Bitcoin that has been sent will become irreversible.
