For starters... blockchain.info is NOT "the blockchain"... blockchain.info is just a website that offers bitcoin related products and services (like a webwallet, block explorer etc). It confuses things greatly if you use "blockchain" when referring to "binfo" Tongue

With regards to your initial query, there is no real way of telling where the bitcoin address 15FS7LRtzNtojsCp2gYx7jHfWZEADGA2pz resides... it could be in someone's blockchain.info webwallet, it could be on a mobile wallet, it could be a paper wallet or it could be in a desktop wallet owned by a housewife in Timbuktu...

Additionally, you say that "the Receiving address changed in mid-stream"... this is not technically possible. That address is the address that was included in the transaction signed by your wallet software.

It is possible that if you were copy/pasting addresses that you either pasted the incorrect address, or you have one of those sneaky malware programs that monitors the clipboard for bitcoin addresses, and when you go to paste, it pastes the address of the malware writer Undecided

As to your last question... unfortunately, there is no way to reverse/cancel/chargeback Bitcoin transactions... once they are confirmed, that's it... they're set in stone. The only way to get these bitcoins back is to have the person who controls the private key for 15FS7LRtzNtojsCp2gYx7jHfWZEADGA2pz, create a transaction that sends them back to an address that you own.

Can you please tell us what wallet software you were using when you created your transaction?

Hi, thank you the clarifications on terminology. I sent from Exodus.io. The address didn't change mid-stream, bad choice of words. The address I copied and pasted and sent to changed AT the receiving end where I was sending it to...I have sent a message to their customer service stating what happened. God willing and the creek don't rise, I will hear something from them.  But what does 'Unspent Funds' mean...they left my wallet but didn't get to their destination?

Not sure if I am doing this right, thank-you for that response...so, is the btc sitting at Blockchain? can I get it back? cause it is not in my wallet.

Here is some more:
Unspent Outputs 15FS7LRtzNtojsCp2gYx7jHfWZEADGA2pz
Total: 2.5 BTC


33 confirmations

HOW DO I TELL BLOCKCHAIN TO SEND THE 2.5 BACK HOME, DINNER IS GETTING COLD?

I sent a transaction from my wallet...3 confirms...thot it was the correct Send To address, but NOT.  So, is there a way to track where it ended up?  2.5btcs

Sent to Address: 15FS7LRtzNtojsCp2gYx7jHfWZEADGA2pz
Hash 160:    2e9b4966cae2d26d5cd4914472182b7ebddf1674

I have no clue on how to track this stuff, if at all possible.  Hoping it went to something else I am doing, fingers crossed. But it didn't go to where I wanted it to go.  Oddly the Receiving address changed in mid-stream, so the address I used, didn't connect with where I wanted it to go and the 2.5btcs went somewhere.
Thx, in advance, Lana
