What address did you send them to?  Your best bet is to track down the owner of the address, and ask to have them returned.  Not a high probability, but your best shot.

That's the only transaction ever sent to that address according to blockchain.info
Nothing comes up on a search of this forum.
Nothing on google.

Bummer.  Next time you decide to accidentally send some coins to the wrong address, try the one in my signature

Hoplefully then you may have sent it to yourself but not at the right place. check any/all exchanges you have accounts at.

damn, yeah thats what I'm trying now....i have no idea how that was in my clipboard. ugh. this is what i feared of bitocin. lol

Ouch, that's a significant amount. Do you happen to know who's the owner like, from the signature or something?

While your memory is fresh try really hard to track your browsing history and see where you copied it from.

Check your browser history by Ctrl+H and see what URLs you visited around the time you sent the money.
Usually data does not stay for a very long time in the clipboard, so you might be able to find where that address appeared from.
It must be something you copied from somewhere.

i don't know how this happened.

found them!!! they went into an old account i didn't use for a long time. jesus that was rough.

thanks so much everyone for your help!

Congrats!  Glad to see you got them back!

What sites do you normally send bitcoin to? You must have copied it from somewhere.

It could be a novel trojan that swaps out a bitcoin address in the clipboard with an address that the trojan master controls. There would be no need for that trojan to keylog or access the internet.

I doubt that is the case though.
