Please help:(
My mother who doesnt know how to use monero very well wanted to exchange monero to bitcoin but instead of doing it correctly through an exchange site, she put the bitcoin wallet address into the monero send address so she basically sent monero to a bitcoin address within her monero account which means the bitcoin address was recognised as a monero address...
Is there any way the coins can be recovered with the transaction ID from the overview page?
Thanks so much for helping in advance!!!!!

This... shouldn't be possible...
I told her explicitly not to do it I have no idea how the heck she pulled that off

but she told me she put the address of the bitcoin wallet to the send address of the monero account and the balance of monero went down...
what could have happened there ? is there anyway to recover the sent coins or is there any way to recover sent coins with monero?
What did she send with ?Simple wallet? mymoneo? The address types are so different It isn't possible.
She used mymonero. I am in shock right now.

Your story sounds far out but I'll act in good faith.
Look there is no way the monery left her private key. Start with re-scanning the blockchain on mymonero. If that doesn't work well have to figure out how to derive a spend key from the mymonero seed and import that into simplewallet. The funds aren't gone because they couldn't have gone to a bitcoin address. Heck they don't even start with the same prefix. Bitcoin addresses begin with 1 and monero addresses begin with 4.
Thanks for the reply! I m sorry I dun quite understand what to do though because I m actually only a bit better than my mother on these things like I know how to buy and exchange and that's all.... I dun think I know the things u mention above.
