Title: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: thejaytiesto on June 27, 2016, 11:23:33 PM Let's say you wake up some day and you get like 1 BTC. For me this is a lot. What do you do? You return back the BTC to the owner, do you keep it? and why.
I don't know what I would do to be honest. I mean who knows if the guy that just sent you this is a criminal or a good man? Very tough decision. For someone like me that has a small BTC wallet and is trying to make as much BTC as possible before its too late due price going too high, it would be hard to return it, but I would feel bad to keep it too.

Yes, it's pretty hard to mistakingly change a letter for another letter and that address actually existing, but stranger things have happened. In this forum people has reported recieving Bitcoin out of nowhere, so I guess out of millions of transactions it can happen. Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: sempak on June 27, 2016, 11:35:00 PM if I got it for free, then I would not give it back. I think it was a gift for me because of the possibility of wrong delivery address wallet does not seem likely.

I think it was a gift for me because of the possibility of wrong delivery address wallet does not seem likely. A total random mistake like the one I defined above (like having 12rqhr98r98ry98qYR89qr9q or whatever, and sending it to 12rqhr98r98ry98qYR89qr9w because you mistake q for w) is really, really, really unlikely. But, copy-pasting the wrong address, for example the guy had one of your addresses in the past and he was intending to sell 1 BTC somewhere else but mistakenly copy pastes your address instead Or you waiting for 0.1 BTC but sender makes a mistake and sends 1.0.... this is more realistic and can statistically happen considering how many transactions happen daily. Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: 0xfff on June 27, 2016, 11:48:56 PM I doubt I would notice as all my btc is in cold storage. I also would have no idea how to contact who sent me the btc. I wouldn't want to send it back to the same address because it might be an address for an exchange where the btc would just get lost.

In the first case, I would have received a previous transaction and be familiar with the sender so I would return the coins. In the second case I would also be familiar with the sender and would refund the difference (maybe after subtracting the transaction fee in either case). Now, this could be problematic as the sending address could be from an exchange or a mining pool account and the coins would not actually be received by the sender. I guess it would be prudent to try to contact the person before sending the coins back if possible. Hopefully people would only send coins from wallets under their direct control. I could never keep something that wasn't intended for me. Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: patronis on June 27, 2016, 11:58:19 PM I'd probably just keep it especially if I didn't know where it came from. What if the address I was sending it back to was just an exchange address? Better in my hands then in limbo...

Lol yeah maybe I would have done the same thing as you dude :D I mean maybe it was luck that is given unto God to youso you receive bitcoin from god. and you should receive it dude. Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: tiffyroman on June 28, 2016, 12:24:26 AM Honestly, I wouldn't.
I mean, what are the chances of me getting bitcoins randomly? <0.00001%. There are just so much addresses and it would have been very lucky for me to receive coins randomly. However, I would return the coins if the sender asks me to return it, but I'll keep a few of it as compensation from his mistake. Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it?

If I receive a random bitcoin I will gladly return it. But the problem is to whom will i give it back. I will return it if the person who send me btc will show up and claim it from me by presenting datas tha he or she owns the btc. But at the end of the day I will not use that bitcoin until that person who owns that bitcoins shows up. It is not mine to its not for me thats my motto. Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: The Sceptical Chymist on June 28, 2016, 12:45:33 AM Why would I return it? The person who sent it obviously doesn't know to spend it properly, and who knows what he'll do with it next. Returning it would only be wasting good bitcoin. :o
Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: jacee on June 28, 2016, 12:48:59 AM I would if he can prove that he is the owner of the bitcoins tht was mistakenly sent to me. I wouldn't just send it back to the address which was sent to me though. I mean I will wait for them to contact me and provide proof of ownership if they are telling the truth. If nothing came to take it bac then maybe I'll just keep it safe in the meantime and think over if I'll use it or not.
Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: leonix007 on June 28, 2016, 12:51:23 AM Yes, I'll probably return it, IF the person could trace and contact me the soonest possible otherwise I may spend in at tradings.. lol, honestly, i am willing to return it as long as I will not give so much effort to whoever sent me or rather know from where the heavens it came from. ;D

I feel like what OP is really getting at is the same real life scenario of someone leaving some money on a table by accident and you find it, or a wallet - would you return it to its owner or go out of your way to find the owner. Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: Cyaren on June 28, 2016, 12:57:31 AM Why would I return it? The person who sent it obviously doesn't know to spend it properly, and who knows what he'll do with it next. Returning it would only be wasting good bitcoin. :o I would also do this! No point in sending it back. I would then keep it and probably invest in something or maybe just hold on to it for a while until I can figure out what to do with it or when the prices change to my liking.

This is pretty weak justification for keeping something that isn't rightfully yours. The coins have readily identifiable ownership linked to them - the sending address. If you found a wallet on the street which contained money and identification, would you keep that because the person "obviously doesn't know" how to possess a wallet? Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: isen on June 28, 2016, 01:08:52 AM I mean who knows if the guy that just sent you this is a criminal or a good man? It's difficult to answer but i think that i would send them back i'd rather return the money to a criminal than steal them from a good guy who needs them...even if they come fron a criminal i don't want his dirty money.Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: HilbillyFred on June 28, 2016, 01:16:31 AM I honestly would not give it back because its your own mistake and how can you even do this.
You always have to check your adress. Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: outatime1 on June 28, 2016, 01:18:57 AM I would most likely keep it because I don't know if someone was just trying to be nice to someone else. I know that's unlikely, but there's no way to know. If it's a large amount, then I may feel too guilty to keep it though.
Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: bitcoineverything on June 28, 2016, 01:28:12 AM If that happens then most probably I will keep it but if the sender would ask me to send it back then, I will. :)
Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: jhenfelipe on June 28, 2016, 01:29:07 AM That's not impossible to happen to anyone, but somehow with a little chance. For me, I'll return it back but I will make sure that I will send it to the right person. I believe on Rachel Grady's quote: “Always put yourself in others' shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person, too.” When I sent my btc to a wrong address, I would like to get my money back, yes maybe I have a mistake, but that's not an intention to happen.

Post by: Anon_7716 on June 28, 2016, 02:45:13 AM It depends on the situation I got. If I get it without knowing the person is then 50% I would use to fold the Bitcoin duplicate and 50% I would use to help others or I save. For if I do not know the person who sent it then I reserve the right to use it on the condition that he announced to everyone and if there are no claiming that it belongs to me

I know that's unlikely, but there's no way to know. If it's a large amount, then I may feel too guilty to keep it though. Here's a novel idea. YOU do something nice and send it back! Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: Indrawan77 on June 28, 2016, 02:45:41 AM Well if nobody claims it, then i will consider it as a gift but if somebody contact me and can confirmed that he or she is the owner of the money then i will send it back

I can't believe the number of dishonest individuals on this forum. I think you've got a self-serving bias resulting from a need to maintain and perhaps to enhance your self-esteem. You attribute your behavior in this situation to others. You need to think outside your box; good people would give it back. Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: xhomerx10 on June 28, 2016, 03:00:25 AM Well if nobody claims it, then i will consider it as a gift but if somebody contact me and can confirmed that he or she is the owner of the money then i will send it back You're shitting me right? Would you give me your contact info if I send you some coins? How would the sender go about contacting you once the error was realized?! You can confirm that the sender is the owner by sending the coins back to the address from which it came. I can't believe the number of people saying they would keep it and your justifications are so fucking lame. Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: Hide_ip112 on June 28, 2016, 03:06:23 AM If that happens then most probably I will keep it but if the sender would ask me to send it back then, I will. :) The right way, but I think it would be very hard to do if the owner does not know the addres you used, as in the bitcoin every addres does not have a clear identity and name (without the name) this might be very difficult to do, unless you make the information on all social media Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: bL4nkcode on June 28, 2016, 03:07:57 AM If i receive that btc to my wallet well i will not give it back because its not a mistake, wallet address is pretty obvious and no other similar on it except the first 3 charater, and I guess its a gift also from the sender and what the hell he sendd to you a btc so most prabably its a gift. And thanks for that if it will happen.
Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: Nevis on June 28, 2016, 03:38:39 AM Let's say you wake up some day and you get like 1 BTC. For me this is a lot. What do you do? You return back the BTC to the owner, do you keep it? and why. it depends on the amount of BTC. because if large i will never return it. 😂 very small but if you go back to the ownerI don't know what I would do to be honest. I mean who knows if the guy that just sent you this is a criminal or a good man? Very tough decision. For someone like me that has a small BTC wallet and is trying to make as much BTC as possible before its too late due price going too high, it would be hard to return it, but I would feel bad to keep it too.

What do you do? You return back the BTC to the owner, do you keep it? and why. If you ever post your address online, someone can see it and they could (if they want) send you BitCoin. I don't know what I would do to be honest. I mean who knows if the guy that just sent you this is a criminal or a good man? Very tough decision. For someone like me that has a small BTC wallet and is trying to make as much BTC as possible before its too late due price going too high, it would be hard to return it, but I would feel bad to keep it too. I'd accept it, chances are... They saw my address and decided to send me bitcoin. So Thank you very much. Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it?

Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: 1Referee on June 28, 2016, 06:40:21 AM The problem is that you don't know whether or not the person made a mistake. Some times people randomly send coins to an address just for the fun. If I happen to receive a decent amount like 1BTC, then I will keep it in my wallet for a month to give the person the time to send me a dust transaction including a comment where he is asking his coins back. I will then return it. If after a month there is still nothing from that person, then I'll keep them for ever.

But if no one is looking I suggest just save that money. hehe Many way sender to contact you, just with your wallet addreas. Thank you Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: serjent05 on June 28, 2016, 07:38:56 AM I think it won't happen because how can people send to wrong address, even they accidentally change/delete some characters in bitcoin address, the wallet should notify that it's not valid bitcoin address (More Info (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1026.0)) But, if i received random BTC, i won't give it back or find who send it. I only return it back if the owner is looking his/her/their bitcoin by make public announcement or send a request to me with proof such as sign message and why they accidentally send the bitcoin to me. I agree that there is a very slim chance of it being accidentally sent to my address. If I have my address in public, this might be a tip or something. You don't need to find or send it back because if it was a mistake then more likely they will send a small amount with signed message asking you to return it. If they do, I will send it back without hesitation of course. Else I would think of it as a tip to whatever good deed i done :D Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it?

Post by: Nahl on June 28, 2016, 07:50:40 AM actually this is a bit difficult because if i received random BTC with huge amount i would tempted to save it in my bitcoin wallet but may be if someone else asking for refunds i guess I would consider it but if not i would keep those bitcoin as random reward
Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: sishendaoye on June 28, 2016, 08:03:33 AM To be honest I do not think so, it also depends on how much we are talking about. If I just got 0,1 BCT then I would return it because it is not much.
I would not return a whole BTC or above because then we are talking real money and I am not giving that up. Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: ObscureBean on June 28, 2016, 08:03:52 AM Well I certainly wouldn't go out of my way to try and find the owner ::) The way I see it if you're careless enough to send BTC to the wrong address, the amount you sent probably don't mean a lot to you anyway. If it happened to me, I would write it off as a loss immediately, regardless of the amount.
I'd likely get the iPhone 7 with that 1 BTC and I wouldn't lose sleep over it either :P Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: danherbias07 on June 28, 2016, 08:05:05 AM To get an error like that is like impossible. ;D But as said there is an if. So I wont give it back. ;D I will gladly accept it with all of my heart and thank him in the air for sending me something that big. :P
Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: DoublerHunter on June 28, 2016, 02:54:34 PM Let's be honest and don't be lier if we receive just like 1 bitcoin by an accident would you return it? I think almost of the users will say no because first it will be hard for us to know if that bitcoin address that send us some bitcoin is the real owner second why would miss that opportunity to get that amount in a easy as 1,2,3 ;D. Let's be honest guys don't lie to other or even on our selves ::).
Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: Snorek on June 28, 2016, 03:02:42 PM This question is not about Bitcoin at all, it is mainly about moral code of every single one of us. As receiving BTC is not linked to any possible threat, most of us wount never give it back.
I guess only extreme wealthy bitcoiners (or saints) could potentially avoid temptation and sent that money back. That is the harsh truth. Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: LuckGone100 on June 28, 2016, 03:05:12 PM i will return this time when the sender ask me for return his btc other wise if he even not ask for anything then should be not cos he happy to send not for receive.. and only happen this way.. thnx :)
Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: Dank Frank on June 28, 2016, 03:05:59 PM I would return it if it's obvious it comes from one sender.
When it seems to come from an exchange or gambling site with multiple addresses and such i will hold on to it for a while untill someone can send me some proof. Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: xhomerx10 on June 28, 2016, 03:13:23 PM I would return it if it's obvious it comes from one sender.

It would depend on how lazy I am at that moment. I'm usually very lazy overall so no, it's my coin now. If it happened on a gambling site and someone tipped me a coin by accident, then of course I would send it back instantly.. ;D Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: yayayo on June 28, 2016, 03:33:04 PM It would depend on the sum and the original owner would need to make contact that he/she made a mistake. If it was a larger sum (> 0,01 BTC) I would return it on request to a specified address. However the request should be made within two weeks after sending the funds with some kind of proof of rightful ownership.
I don't think it is advisable to simply return Bitcoin received in error to the sender without prior investigation. Among other things it may be possible that the coins where sent out of a web wallet and might be lost, if the sender is not in full control of the sending address. Also it is extremely unlikely to receive Bitcoin from a total stranger due to error, because he/she needs to actively select your address. ya.ya.yo!

Post by: ronaldo40 on June 28, 2016, 04:01:22 PM I'll try to announce in this forum, if it is still difficult to find any signs or evidence of who the owner is. I might save it in a few weeks. then maybe I'll use :)
Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: calkob on June 28, 2016, 05:06:12 PM i would return, as i think it would be theft to keep it, but i can understand the temptation to keep it.

What do you do? You return back the BTC to the owner, do you keep it? and why. No I do not think that I would return it, I would sell them right away to make some money. There is no reason for me to return it because I can sure use the money, maybe if that preson really needed it back and send me a nice e-mail on why they need it. I don't know what I would do to be honest. I mean who knows if the guy that just sent you this is a criminal or a good man? Very tough decision. For someone like me that has a small BTC wallet and is trying to make as much BTC as possible before its too late due price going too high, it would be hard to return it, but I would feel bad to keep it too.

For my personal better to return it to their owner, because I don't want to eat the food I can buy from the wrong way. 1 BTC is the big amount and enough to make someone become greedy.

You are the total butthole. There is no way for that person to speak to you or vice-versa. You can't contact somebody based solely on a bitcoin address. Does anyone posting in this thread know how bitcoin transactions work? Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: Raimonn on July 04, 2016, 08:31:08 PM I will keep for myself. I don't know if he/she wanted to send a gift to me. And i think that its possible that if i give it back to the same address could be an exchange address and the user will not receive it back.
In case that the bitcoin user contact me (witch is very difficult), and sign a message from the sending address asking for its bitcoin i will return it back. Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: From Above on July 04, 2016, 08:43:43 PM Yes I returned it when I received some random BTC.

Yeah but U think that chance is very rare that he can find you, and once you have it and genuine person asks you to send him back then you should surely send it back. Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: LTU_btc on July 04, 2016, 08:52:58 PM I would send back bitcoin if the owner of it would fastly contact me.

Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: dezoel on July 04, 2016, 09:13:53 PM First of all I have never received any bitcoin accidentally and if I receive then I will send it to a real owner if he contacts me before I have spend them.

How that guy would found is the number where he mistaken and sent 1 BTC exist or no? He couldn't write me even a letter like "hey, I mistaken number can you return me?" Who cares?! What's done is done. It's not my problem, it's his. Next time be careful and use copy paste about wallets' numbers.

Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: coinsocieties on July 04, 2016, 11:01:08 PM I am one of those people who believe in karma, so I would return it to the sender. If I did not, I am sure something would happen and I would loose all the Bitcoin that I have. So, yes I would return it if I received 1 BTC from what I was not expecting.
Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: emberbekas on July 04, 2016, 11:02:55 PM It depends on the situation when I got that random BTC. If I had no money while getting that free BTC for sure I will keep it till the owner of that coins send me a message to send his money back. If my wallet is fat enough at that time, for sure I will send the money back even the owner didnt ask it back.
Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: Jeremycoin on July 04, 2016, 11:36:55 PM If I know who sent it and if there is a good reason that someone falsely sent it, then I will return it. But if it's not, then I will keep it to myself.
There's no police station here in blockchain ;) Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: Conus on July 04, 2016, 11:38:52 PM You would have to think about this all. If someone accidentally sent it to you, what is saying that they did not need that money to pay their bills or something important. Maybe they were paying a bill or sending money to someone who really needs it. You have to wonder. I would return it.

So I would also not return it, I would receive it as a gift and sell all of them. Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it?

Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: avikz on July 05, 2016, 04:07:46 PM If I receive a small amount of BTC then I would definitely not return it. However, if I receive a serious amount of BTC like more than 1, then I will surely return it to the payment address after deducting the transaction fees.
Because. I don't know the source of the fund. Small amount of dirty fund is ok for me, but not any serious amount. So I will definitely return it. Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: trafficolaa on July 05, 2016, 04:10:25 PM Let me say something true I don't think anybody will send it back if he get any coins random, so that I also would like to keep this amount if ever I received a decent amount from unknown address because it will be really hard to give back for me.
Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: lolxxxx on July 05, 2016, 04:11:51 PM First of all i am not going to get free random BTC from anyone , But if get i may not return . I will only wait form 1-2 days for the owner to contact me through transaction with a message that he wants his bitcoins back and i will confirm and send him back the bitcoin and will take 0.2 and the rest of 0.8 will be sent back :P . No one is going to send you the btc randomly unless you are damn lucky.
Well so you asked this publicly 90% of people will say that they will send back but when they get the will not send it back :D Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it?

So i think this question has not point to prove. Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: nururochac on July 05, 2016, 04:15:28 PM To be real I do not think that I would return it because nobody else would return it and I am sure of that. If I was send some Bitcoins to the wrong person I know that I would not receive it back. If there's a possibility then why not returned it right? But I think people who send their coins accidentally is not really an accident because wallet address are case sensitive and most of them are so unique, so probably it was intentional.So I would also not return it, I would receive it as a gift and sell all of them.

If it was a random person who I didn't know personally or not involving a business transaction, I wouldn't do anything until that person contacted me and then try to sort things out. How long I would wait before I considered just keeping the bitcoin for myself... I don;t know. Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: victoryboy on July 05, 2016, 06:32:05 PM As far as I know technically and logically this is not possible to receive any amount by its own without having previous transaction with that address.This thing makes bitcoin unique that you always need to copy/past address and if somehow any digit is missing it will not perform transaction.Let's suppose this happens anyhow then in case of being contacted will return for sure.
Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: carlisle1 on July 05, 2016, 06:49:03 PM Maybe if it is possible to trace or to identify who is the sender I would return it to him but if not I have no but to keep it myself and own it since I don't know where it comes from I don't a time to trace and find him and maybe I would use it ;D
Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it?

Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: Divinespark on July 05, 2016, 06:58:15 PM I would probably keep it. I am not proud of this but that's human nature for you. Easier for me to be honest about this under a pseudonymous name :)

Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: HarryKPeters on July 05, 2016, 07:38:43 PM Knowing myself I would return it. If you keep it, it's the same thing as stealing.

Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: Soros Shorts on July 05, 2016, 10:40:30 PM I don't usually publicize my addresses. If someone sent me coins to one of my addresses and I wasn't expecting it, it means they were snooping the blockchain and my addresse(s) in particular. I would be super pissed off and probably keep the coins just to teach them a lesson for snooping.
However, I would make some effort to figure out that it was not sent truly by accident and not because of snooping (copy pasting my addresses). If this were the case I would return the coins. Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: lister storm on July 05, 2016, 11:57:10 PM I would probably keep it. I am not proud of this but that's human nature for you. Easier for me to be honest about this under a pseudonymous name :) though i doubt that keeping it would be such a good thing to do, the person who sent it might need his or her bitcoins for a living, so i would return it back most probably i thinkTitle: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it?

Post by: ajun96 on July 06, 2016, 01:31:46 AM I think that I would sent it back but I maybe also would look up from who the address, I would not sent it blindly back. Lol I think bitcoin address of Ponzi will not send bitcoin that bitcoin address not listed on their site they use robots that run automatically so it is less likely to incorrectly send bitcoinIf it was from a sort of ponzi I would hold it for sure without any doubts, unless someone incorrectly sent to a specific address bitcoin that they did not realize Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: Darwin02 on July 06, 2016, 01:34:47 AM Let's say you wake up some day and you get like 1 BTC. For me this is a lot. What do you do? You return back the BTC to the owner, do you keep it? and why. Yes of course if they contact me 😂😂 if it's not mine I do not have interest in it even huge, but if they are not contact me I accept it as a gift.I don't know what I would do to be honest. I mean who knows if the guy that just sent you this is a criminal or a good man? Very tough decision. For someone like me that has a small BTC wallet and is trying to make as much BTC as possible before its too late due price going too high, it would be hard to return it, but I would feel bad to keep it too. Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: Sled on July 06, 2016, 01:48:37 AM I will not send it back or return it because it's a blessing and we need to accept it lol. Lets be honest it's a very easy way to get profit because if we don't have much source of bitcoin i think most of the users will do the same. If it's 1 bitcoin or more, why would need to give it back. C'mon lets be practical, only few users are living their mind in the past that almost people are saints and good.
Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: Enotche on July 06, 2016, 07:17:58 AM For me it is quite a difficult question in my current impoverished situation. But I'm the kind of person that will never accept other people's money, if they came to me by mistake. Who knows what was behind that money. Can people really worked hard and long to get them, and this way for a moment, lost them. Most of all, I would return.

What a good way to explain it. But still if I know how to send it back then why not. Some of us dont really know how to do it. They just create an account,put bitcoin in there then leave it. Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: drwtsn32 on July 06, 2016, 09:23:31 AM Can't decide. It's his fault actually of getting wrong with the address he's sent to.
We all know that making transactions are sensitive. On the other hand, I might feel guilty knowing it is truly his bitcoins. Especially if it's high amount.

Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: ImHash on July 06, 2016, 11:30:38 AM this is a question of morality, lets say what if it was you who made the mistake and lost the coins? wouldn't you want your coins to be sent back to you as soon as possible?

Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: Jemzx00 on July 06, 2016, 11:49:55 AM Well for me this question depends if the sender knows me or not since people would not just mistakenly send you bitcoin since addresses to each account is very different and rare to have an almost the same address. So this got me curious that people who copied your address would know you or it could in a site that has an event for bitcoin and mistakenly sens the wrong amount. So I would definitely say that I would not send back the amount that I received if i dont know sender.

Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: Wandering Soul~ on July 07, 2016, 03:17:00 AM This pretty hard. Some instances when I dont always check my wallet.

Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it?

XD Sneak on a gambling site, earn an extra 1BTC then return it back to him if you're successful. If you fail then i guess you can just say it was tough luck. But in order for someone to send you bitcoin they must have been feeling generous, so i would accept that i was given so much; It would be nice to return the favor in some way though.

I would just sell them right away to cash in and buy some nice things with the money. Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: BellaBitBit on July 07, 2016, 04:01:26 PM yes - I would behave the same way if I found a wallet, credit card, or cash. Its not mine.

Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: fenican on July 07, 2016, 04:06:14 PM I think any respectable person would return it. This type of thing can happen when, for example, someone copy/pastes an address from the wrong profile.

Post by: hawkins on July 07, 2016, 04:19:58 PM if I get it in a very large number, I'll get it back, but if it is very little, I probably will not return, because it will be very troublesome. I'm sure the person who sent bitcoin in small quantities may not be concerned with bitcoin which he submitted on the wrong address, because in not doing it carefully, but if it involves big money, maybe I'll give it back

Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: pooya87 on July 08, 2016, 09:19:15 AM this is a rather hard question to answer. i think it depends on how much i am tempted to keep it and it also depends on if it is a random bitcoin that i receive or is it a mistake. if it is random and small i wouldn't even care to look for it but if it is by accident and a little big i would try to give it back to the real owner.
Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: Dr.Osh on July 08, 2016, 09:23:39 AM Well, I guess I'll give it back, I knew it was not right to me, so I'll give it back regardless of the amount. that person may be in dire need of the bitcoin, and I think, if it happened to me, I probably wanted the money I send the wrong back. so I would probably give it back, because it's possible that it happened to me.

Post by: escrowboy on July 08, 2016, 10:19:20 AM to be honest , to earn more trust and to earn more fund really many will run away with that amount specially if it is over 10000 $ but to be honest stealing money will not last for long time .so return 80 % of the total and keep the 20 % as a fee after agreement with the sender . I agree, some people will probably keep the coins if they don't know who's that person that send the funds but if it somehow their relative I'm sure that's when their empathy will work. Most people are selective when it comes to having empathy.Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: AYGTX on July 08, 2016, 10:27:19 AM Honestly i will give it back , because what happened to the sender can happen to me , and it's sad to loose your money in a wrong click ; But surely i'll ask for some freebucks
Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: Barbut on July 08, 2016, 10:37:24 AM Probably I would return it, but I can`t say that for sure. Now I`m ok with money, and I have coins and fiat. But lets say I`m in desperate need for money, I would think twice before I send it back. Maybe I would take some percent and give back the rest.
Its really hard to say why would I do, answer on this question depends from many things in my opinion. And like a human with a feelings, depending from a moment I think I`m capable for everything. If something like this ever happen to me, I will tell you how i reacted. Until than I can just imagine situation, and in my mind everything is possible. Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: joinal on July 08, 2016, 10:37:34 AM Not only me no one can return bitcoin that they are received randomly or mistakenly. Everyone in the world is working just for money and if they get free money than how they will get back this money or bitcoins?? But i have believe that there are some people that will return the bitcoins if they received by mistake but if the person want back that money :P i think the greed of man will come when they see a free bitcoin is present in their wallets, I'm not a hypocrite that I also possess it? maybe I'll save and use the money within a certain period if they are not contacted me, i think there are many people who would agree with meTitle: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: eternalgloom on July 08, 2016, 11:39:37 AM I would keep it for about 2 weeks and if someone contacted me about it during that period, I would give it back.
It used to happen that people sent me like 0.20 btc by mistake, here on the forum, but I always returned it of course. Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: Red-Apple on July 08, 2016, 11:55:03 AM the honest thing to do would be returning bitcoin because it is not yours to keep.
but i think it doesn't matter what we all say here because when it comes to acting about it, then it would be so hard to receive about $1000 for free (by accident) and remain honest enough to give it back. Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: ausbit on July 08, 2016, 08:25:44 PM I would send back bigger amounts but low amounts are not worth finding the righteous person they came from. It is very hard announcing oh wow, i doubt that i would send back even more than i got but i would most probably return it back, i hope i will never get any bitcoins on accident as it would be a trouble for meTitle: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it?

Almost all people here looks to be honest, but if you are on the street and 50 dollars cross your fingers or stop at your shoes, you wont be asking people in the street who lost the money...im honest people but i dont know what i would do i hope no one make such mistake to donate bitcoin to random adress.

Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: upsidedown75 on July 09, 2016, 09:53:49 AM Let's say you wake up some day and you get like 1 BTC. For me this is a lot. What do you do? You return back the BTC to the owner, do you keep it? and why. First off someone sending 1 btc by mistake is highly improbable, but if it were to happen, I wouldn't bother sending it back.I don't know what I would do to be honest. I mean who knows if the guy that just sent you this is a criminal or a good man? Very tough decision. For someone like me that has a small BTC wallet and is trying to make as much BTC as possible before its too late due price going too high, it would be hard to return it, but I would feel bad to keep it too. I think I'd put the btc to better use than the person who sent it to you by mistake. Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: Wendigo on July 09, 2016, 10:30:39 AM If you found a random lost wallet on the street or in a public bus or something would you return it granted that you could see the owner's address in there? If you are a honest person with morals you know what the right thing to do is. I guess you could ask yourself the same question if you received a random Bitcoin transaction to your wallet that doesn't belong to you/wasn't intended for you and as you could see the sending address you could decide what the moral thing to do in that instance is.

Post by: ausbit on July 09, 2016, 12:45:29 PM If i know where to send back the bitcoins then i will return it. though it would be great having a coins came from nowhere i still cant enjoy money that is originally not mine.

Post by: Havelivi on July 09, 2016, 12:51:15 PM Let me say true about this if ever I received some bitcoins randomly than surely I would like to keep it for me, I'll never send it to back to that address and will consider it as a gift from God.

Hi, having a bitcoin in my wallet unexpectedly, is really good. Who doesn't want bitcoins. I might even think that it is a blessing from the above. But what if this bitcoin was just sent to me by mistake? Should I return it? For me my answer is yes because here in my country , there is a law related to Quasi-contract and the law about it says that no-one should be unjustly enriched at the expenses of another. So it means if you receive money or good by mistake, you have the obligation to return it to the real receiver or real owner. Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it?

I would like to think that you are so kind since you will return the money to the owner but after reading that you will not return the whole amount of bitcoin because you will cut 15% for you sincerity, hahha I have changed my mind. It is not sincerity at all right. Cause if you are really sincere you will return the whole amount without expecting anything. Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it?

Yes Wendigo, if I found a random lost wallet in a public place and I saw the person who lost it, I would probable call his/her attention and talk to him regarding the lost wallet because my parents taught me so well and as what the saying says, Do unto others as you would want other do unto. But in the bitcoin world, it is entirely different since we are transacting anonimously so it will be hard for us to determine who is the real owner.

Why? I dont think that you have the right. Yes it is given that that she sends it wrongly and it is her mistake that the bitcoins were sent into your wallet but I dont think it is right and just to ask for a compensation from the owner just for you to return the bitcoins which is not supposed to be yours, it is like blackmailing him or her. But it will be fine if pay you voluntarily for your kindness. Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: mkc on July 09, 2016, 07:19:00 PM If it is a small amount, then I will ignore it , as if it did not happen. That is my way of keeping it. If big amount, like over 100 coins, yeah I will return it. For that amount, it is enough for someone to do things crazy, like putting a price on me.?

The chances of us receiving 1000btc randomly actually nigh-impossible. It is even easier to win the lottery than randomly receiving bitcoins as there are millions. billions probably, of addresses.But if I were to receive bitcoins randomly, I would return it, given that the sender asks me to return it. If not, then I wouldn't. Simple as that. Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: nanonymousx on July 10, 2016, 03:18:44 AM I will negotiate with the sender and keep a cut. Maybe 10%, or 30%, up to 50%, then sent the rest back.
It is not right to keep them all, also not right that sender goes unpunished, since Bitcoin is a irreversible. Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it?

It would be pretty hard for somebody to inadvertently send you a bitcoin. Why would it be hard for somebody to send someone a bitcoin? It happened a lot of times. If they are too rich and the are too careless when it comes to their transactions online or it happened when someone is so excited to send a bitcoin that is why they are not double checking it to see if it is the real bitcoin address where they really want to send their bitcoins. How lucky for the wrong receiver and I feel sorry for the excited sender. hahaha Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it?

Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: dihari on July 10, 2016, 07:09:50 AM Honestly no one will do that.
If it realy happen with much enough amount, say it 100 btc, people sell it on the marketplace and transfer the money to their bank account. And they will close their wallet account instantly.

Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: pandalion98 on July 10, 2016, 08:31:02 AM Also, if someone were to mistakenly send me maybe 150000 bitcoins, I would not return it since they know better than to ignore who they're sending it to. "I accidentally sent them, may I have them back?" Pfft. Impossible for you send me BTC by accident, especially with that large of an amount and considering I usually use vanity addresses. As if 1PandaExaY8XmCLSWbAw2prEjbYKgHY2g wasn't obvious enough. It's your responsibility to double check, and it's your fault for not doing so. Therefore, your stupidity will give you an expensive lesson. By accidentally sending BTC to that address, you are completely giving up and transferring ownership of said bitcoins to PandaLion98, implicitly or otherwise, and it is at his sole discretion as to what he'll do with it (definitely not going back into your wallet). You have/had all the opportunities to make sure that your bitcoins be sent to your intended recipient, but you blatantly ignored them. Moral lesson: Always triple check your destination address, especially with large transactions. I'll be sending a link to this post to whoever messes up and accidentally send me their bitcoins. Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it?

Hahahaha actually these bitcoins are gift from the one who send these bitcoins to you randomly.

Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: Blackmet on July 10, 2016, 10:18:27 PM I think that yes, because i am very honest with myself and i understand that it's not my money and better to return it. But many people will not return it anyway.
Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: useless4 on July 10, 2016, 10:29:26 PM well honestly I will just take 0.1 btc cause I need it so desperately and I will send other back well i guess that would still be kinda stealing because you would take the money from other people and that would definitely not be good in my opinion, i would most probably sell all the bitcoinsTitle: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: dustboy on July 10, 2016, 10:53:21 PM Simple question but hard to answer, but I think 90% or even more than 90% of us will not send it back. I myself will not send it back if I got it when I do not have enough money but I will send it back if I get it when I have some money.
So it depends on when I received the random btc. ;D Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: fitraok09 on July 10, 2016, 11:02:19 PM if I see the bitcoin which sent to my address and it is not mine, there is a two conditions whom I can do.
Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: iv4n on July 10, 2016, 11:10:17 PM Well probably not! The one who made a mistake will think twice next time when he try to send some coins. I would spent it very fast, depending from amount I received I would think is it enough to buy something, or to spend it on some party with friends on drinks and other stuff, or I would put all on red and try to make it double.
But that will never happen to me, I never found some money in my life. So I doubt that I will have more luck now with bitcoins. Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: hermanhs09 on July 10, 2016, 11:44:58 PM Lol,my friend got 0,009 today at his address.
He was thinking about sending it back,but he decided he wont. And so far,nobody has connected to him to get it back :D lucky bastard lol Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it?

Post by: Kotone on July 11, 2016, 08:48:59 AM Let's say you wake up some day and you get like 1 BTC. For me this is a lot. What do you do? You return back the BTC to the owner, do you keep it? and why. I don't know what I would do to be honest. I mean who knows if the guy that just sent you this is a criminal or a good man? Very tough decision. For someone like me that has a small BTC wallet and is trying to make as much BTC as possible before its too late due price going too high, it would be hard to return it, but I would feel bad to keep it too. If you have conscience. Then give it back. But if not, then claim it as your own. Because that's the fault of the sender. They can never locate who you are, where you are or what are you doing right now. The only thing they know about you is your BTC address. Just accept it and claim it as your own if you want. Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: Posum578 on July 11, 2016, 10:32:48 AM I am not an angel also i am not rich guy, so if i received random btc i will not send it back
I will claim that is mine. Whatever you say everyone need money to life Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it?

Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: entrepmind23 on July 11, 2016, 11:26:28 AM I would return if the amount of BTC is significant but if it's just a small amount then I would just retain it.

Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: Digitalbitcoin on July 11, 2016, 12:35:35 PM I think its totally depend up on thinking of independent individual. As some of will think to send it back or some of will think to keep it.
I think there is no mercy for mistake. Its goodness of person who will return back amount to receiver address. Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it?

I said above mistake because making transaction of bitcoin is not a joke or time pass part, its very sensitive think to access wallet and make transaction. If you receive any amount by mistake its not quite possible but if happened then its a mistake of sender. So there will no mercy for mistake.

Post by: LFC_Bitcoin on July 11, 2016, 12:39:51 PM I think you'd have to return it for a number of reasons. Obviously being an honest person is one but also it's pretty easy to track addresses & spends. If it was a large amount of bitcoin I wouldn't want people trying to track me & link my addresses etc.
Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: 20kevin20 on July 11, 2016, 12:41:44 PM No. I don't see why would I do this, because I would think it's a donation from somebody. I've seen people randomly tipping money, I've seen a guy tipping 0.5BTC to a random user on PrimeDice. I wouldn't.
Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: 20kevin20 on July 11, 2016, 12:43:56 PM I think you'd have to return it for a number of reasons. Obviously being an honest person is one but also it's pretty easy to track addresses & spends. If it was a large amount of bitcoin I wouldn't want people trying to track me & link my addresses etc. So I guess getting a tip of 10BTC randomly would bother you. First of all, why would you be scared or worried about it? What if the sum would be sent randomly to you, and after you send it back that guy tips it to someone else? You never know. It happened to me and I didn't get my sum back. It was only 0.005, but still. It's not your fault. Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: Fatanut on July 11, 2016, 01:02:40 PM Probably not, knowing that BTC addresses are almost just random characters, no one would accidentally send you BTC. Someone wouldn't accidentally send you BTC because he accidentally changed a letter or two in the address. If I see a random amount going to my account, then I probably did something that made me earn that.
But if someone would contact me right after I received the bitcoins and say that he pasted the wrong address in the "recipient" part, then I might be in a good mood and send it back. Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: escrowboy on July 11, 2016, 01:36:01 PM I think its totally depend up on thinking of independent individual. As some of will think to send it back or some of will think to keep it. That's not an acceptable case. The only thing that's acceptable is if you have a scenario where you need the coins in emergency, that might be an excuse but you should return it to specific address once you can provide a certain money. It's like borrowing the funds that accidentally sent to you.I think there is no mercy for mistake. Its goodness of person who will return back amount to receiver address. Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: Cakinmate on July 11, 2016, 01:42:03 PM I will send it back as it is not my money. There is no reason not to send it back. But I will deduct the transaction fees.

Post by: mtnsaa on July 11, 2016, 05:41:13 PM I would most definitely try to return it yes. But I'm not naive, what if I receive more than 100 BTC...we all have our price for everything in life, I'm not saying that I won't do it but I'm sure temptation will start to creep on me. Hopefully I would have the strength to do the right thing.
Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: Falmant on July 11, 2016, 06:32:19 PM I will return it. It is not my money any way. The original sender might be worried about the loss of money.
Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: richkellj on July 11, 2016, 07:41:31 PM Not only me no one can return bitcoin that they are received randomly or mistakenly.

But i have believe that there are some people that will return the bitcoins if they received by mistake but if the person want back that money :P Very very true, we all are here and talking to earn money and bitcoins and when we get it for free why will we return it ? really it will have no convincing reasons other than karma related things.

Post by: bitlancr on July 11, 2016, 08:49:59 PM The only good thing to do is to return. Just think about an option that the person who accidently sent you 100BTC is some kind of criminal.
Keeping it would make you fear your life. Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: Iceborn on July 11, 2016, 09:08:31 PM The only good thing to do is to return.

Not being able to sleep because you have stolen money from a probable criminal is a guarantee for a fearful life. But I bet a lot of people would keep it, which illustrates their dark mind. Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: barbara44 on July 12, 2016, 07:37:56 AM Mistaken I have sent to wrong bitcoin address, but haven't got it back. If I get some by mistake will try to find the right bitcoin address and return it back. Saying it is very easy, suppose someone sends you 1 bitcoin how can you return it friend ? I think it is impossible and even the richest will get a thought to keep it and not return until you sound like a scammer on not returning. Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: Altynbekova on July 12, 2016, 07:41:34 AM If I received random Bitcoin from someone then of course I would return it if that person can really explain the situation.
The person has to talk to me first if he or she does not say anything I am also going to stay silent with the persons coins. Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: FLoving on July 12, 2016, 08:04:53 AM First I was thinking that yes I will return that as it was in my mind that it will be came from someone by mistake, but a few minutes ago an idea came to my mind that I will check the history of that bitcoin address from which I get the coins, and when I see that this type of transactions happened to a number of addresses then I will not return as it will mean that it will be the giveaway from that person.
Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? Post by: Valzador on July 12, 2016, 08:14:48 AM Depends on the amount really.
Anything over 0.01 BTC I would return. (Worth 7$ right now) Anything else below, is like meh. Depends if im lazy or not ;D Title: Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it?

This actually requires some detective work and still 47% were returned. www.rd.com/culture/most-honest-cities-lost-wallet-test Interesting results. Mumbai was a big surprise for me. |
