It is an address to another site I use.

Glad to hear you found out who owns the address - That's the first step in getting your money back.


Yep, I got my money back, thanks to you. If you hadn't pointed out that I put the address in the label section, I'd still be frantically searching Google for bitcoins sent to the wrong address, haha

It turns out the 1Hhq... address had been sitting on my clipboard for quite some time. It is an address to another site I use. The money is there I'm sure, although Tor is moving quite slow right now so I can't check.

Thanks a lot for your guys' help, I was really worried.

Here is the blockchain info: https://blockchain.info/tx/28ecafcdf6b75c45eab1cf9a902bd6d2661842fb4849133ece486004f927b4d1

Here is the transaction information from Bitcoin-Qt:
Quote
Status: 12 confirmations, broadcast through 10 nodes
Date: 7/8/2013 17:50
To: 1D3kVrgh71gCFaQerj2eZUboSPeQdwTUQH 1HhqczqixCqwo2jZyZELFUwEMKcjngphmV
Debit: -0.60 BTC
Transaction fee: -0.0005 BTC
Net amount: -0.6005 BTC
Transaction ID: 28ecafcdf6b75c45eab1cf9a902bd6d2661842fb4849133ece486004f927b4d1

I KNOW I sent it to the 1D3kVrgh71gCFaQerj2eZUboSPeQdwTUQH address. I've even taken a screenshot of the program that shows it going to the right address. WHY are there 2 addresses, and WHY does blockchain show my coins going to the wrong place?!

Thanks a lot for any help

What you've done is obvious to me...

You have LABELED the 1HhqczqixCqwo2jZyZELFUwEMKcjngphmV address with a STRING that says 1D3kVrgh71gCFaQerj2eZUboSPeQdwTUQH.

Normally, you'd expect that transaction window to say something like this:

To: My Friend Bob 1HhqczqixCqwo2jZyZELFUwEMKcjngphmV

But in your case, instead of labeling the address with "My Friend Bob", you've labelled it with another address.

...obviously, the label has no effect on where the coins get sent.



That seems to be the problem. I don't usually add labels...I must have pasted the address into the label section. How did that 1Hhq... address get generated though? And how do I get my coins back?

Today I deposited $50 through BitInstant because another service I deposited more in (CampBX) is taking quite a long time. While my first transaction with BitInstant a few weeks ago was far from easy (I received no reply through email and only had my bitcoins sent after complaining in this forum), this second one was great. I dropped the money off at a MoneyGram place and when I got home 2 hours later, my bitcoins were in my wallet.

If you guys could deliver such prompt and easy service consistently, there's no doubt in my mind you could become the #1 exchange. There's just no other place that'll convert cash to bitcoins quickly without providing bank account details.

I've used BitInstant in the past and while I like their setup (deposit cash via money order, receive bitcoins in return), I was really disappointed by how long it took and especially with their lack of customer support.

What is the best exchange site? (The site should have a money order or credit card payment method and should pay in bitcoins less than 1 week later, the whole process being relatively simple)
