There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.
Advertised sites are not endorsed by the Bitcoin Forum. They may be unsafe, untrustworthy, or illegal in your jurisdiction.

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. 

Charlie Kelly: I'm pleading the 5th.  The Attorney: I would advise you do that.  Charlie Kelly: I'll take that advice under cooperation, alright? Now, let's say you and I go toe-to-toe on bird law and see who comes out the victor?  The Attorney: You know, I don't think I'm going to do anything close to that and I can clearly see you know nothing about the law.

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 Smiley

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

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.

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.
