Title: I got 266 ETH by mistake! (79,000$)
Post by: guynagdai on October 29, 2017, 12:12:29 PM
Hi,
I'm using Blockchain.info wallet (For bitcoin and for ETH, Do you think I need to move the ETH to somewhere else?)

30 hours ago I got a payment of 266 ETH!! I don't know why and how,
But the strange think that I only see it in my transactions and not in my balance. can anyone explain it?!

Thanks for anyone that can explain!

you received xenon tokens not ETH probably from an airdrop!

if you want to see them on your MEW click on "load token" or add custom token!

Sorry for you, but you didn't receive any ETH in your wallet :D
As previous posters told you, when you check the transactions, it's XNN tokens, that come from an airdrop.

Check the value on the internet, but spoiler alert, it's not worth 280 dollars each ;)

You received Xenon tokens and not ethereum. 266 of that token is about $3 with today's price.

how do I save my private keys for BTC an ETH from blockchain.info wallet?

Here is instructions posted by blockchain.info on how to export eth private keys.
https://support.blockchain.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003653543-Exporting-the-private-key-for-your-Ethereum-address

Export them and then use any ether wallet such as http://myetherwallet.com/ to spend these tokens.
You can actually trade them on mercatox and  etherdelta now.

LOL!!!!  :) :)

When I saw it it wasn't in my balance, so I was thinking that is was a mistake and they canceled it.

Thank you all for helping. I will try using my ETH Private key for MEW

I thinks, other people sent you token, not ETH to Blockchain.info wallet
I check your tx:
266.2981629151412573 XENON TOKEN Standard ERC-20 Token **
So i can not sent as ETH!

I would have said what life changing mistake but since it's XNN airdrop, you'll have to wait for its value to appreciate before celebrating

XNN is a weird project.  If I understand correctly, they are simply going to copy EOS once they go live with their own blockchain.  May be worth holding on to.

If you really did receive that much Ethereum for free then you'd have a better outlook on things if you send the money back.
You might be watched or something.

You receive 266 XNN (XENON TOKEN). This token is airdropped to all addresses, who had on their balance above 0.1 ETH.

Post by: Lewoll on October 30, 2017, 09:35:50 AM
You heard it right, you received an airdrop you apply a while ago then that token isn't converted yet to any other altcoin perhaps Eth. You must convert it with real time exchange rate so your Eth will have an amount you received from the converted airdrop.

it looks like you did not get anything really eth but you just get the error. but if you really get eth then you are a very lucky person.

On Etherscan you will see that the coin is XNN. XNN is a lot cheaper...

Well, good for you. But if you know the address of the sender to you, it would be a good idea to send it back to him if you receive it, say, from a mistake or something else. However, if you've got it legitimately, then as I said, you're lucky because you can trade it on Mercatox or EtherDelta and get yourself hundreds of ETH or bitcoins if you want.
