Hi,

I am having trouble after i tried to send out my coins (~2.5btc) to an address, after i input the password and the transaction(sent to: 15VYJ5Px6VSNZh5v3RHYVCvjfY3rRgwCyz), i found out the network was down for my computer, then i put my computer to sleep mode because my wife force me to go sleep.
next day, i turn on the computer and found out the transaction is conflicted and a weird transaction (n/a) status is over there and sent all my bitcoins to an address i dont know(1J2TXNWQVuLQJZbzaGiXwaP5HiLyU74JkF).....
I cannot see the from and to address on the bitcoin program, but i can see this transaction in the blockchain.



i have tried to restore the wallet from backup and download the transactions again, but seems the (n/a) transaction is on the blockchain that i will see this weird transaction appears and my btc is gone... Cry Cry Cry

How can i fix this issue? and how can i get my btc back or get it sent to the right address?
any suggestion or idea is appreciated.
Thank you.

The TX in question has way over 600 confirmations, there is no way you will get the coins back. It also does not match your story as it was confirmed 2015.09.07, on my calendar thats 4 days ago. Even with different time zones its certainly not "yesterday".

Lets start from the top.

With the TX you see in bitcoin core. If you make a right click on it and select "Show transaction details" it will show more information. Among them is the transaction ID with an added -000, e.g.
Code:
Transaction ID: aa45529d384965f83c00e1792e2daed22d41ba2a7a8edd90040cdc66f17c9511-000
remove the last part and you have the TX ID as it would be accepted by blockchain.info or other block explorers. In this example it would be aa45529d384965f83c00e1792e2daed22d41ba2a7a8edd90040cdc66f17c9511.

If you found the TX ID please let us know. That way we can figure out whether the network knows about your transaction or not. I suspect it does not in which case the TX ID alone does not help very much. So I would like you to also post the raw transaction. For that you will need to open Help -> Debug Window, go to console and enter
getrawtransaction followed by your TX id. I will make an example with my TX ID from above to make it easier to understand:



See the long string bitcoin core returned? Send that to us as well. It allows us to decode your transaction and understand which coins you wanted to send where. It can help to understand what went wrong. It will not allow us to modify the TX without making invalid. With my TX above the decoded version looks like this:
