Title: A Question for all
Post by: jsn999 on December 04, 2017, 10:45:54 PM
We have all read stories of coins being sent to wrong addresses (typos or badly copy and pastes)

What would you do if 100 Btc landed into your account? (unfortunately this has not happened to me yet)

I'd probably gave them back, I know is a lot of money but what would I do if I were the  guy sending the coins ?
I would really love to get them back, anyway 100 btc is 1M  at the current price.

It is impossible, when you try to send bitcoins to another address, and you suddenly have a typo mistake, the wallet provider is going to show you that address as a wrong one.

That is why it is almost impossible to have that kind of mistake, because the transactions that have been sent to wrong addreses are never sent.

Probably, there is one chance in one hundred to send bitcoins to another address that already exists.

maybe the addres is xxxxxxxxxxxx1, and you change that 1 to 2, and it can send it, but it is just that, one chance in a hundred.

I advise you do not hold 100BTC on 1 account.
If this happened you can not do any thing, except to find the owner of wallet and request him/ her to get back BTCs. but if He/him don't like to pay back you can not do any thing

Have you read the OP at least? He is not talking about in where to hold 100 bitcoins (and probably no one of us have that amount on our wallets)

I advise you do not hold 100BTC on 1 account.

This crap post clearly shows how all those newbies are desperated in order to farm their accounts so they can join signature campaigns.
And i am always thinking about what kind of manager would accept them in the future? If all their posts are the same crap, he did not even read the thread and he is replying a nonsense one line post that is not even talking about the thread.

Well, I think I should thank the gods of the new and old for that. That must be something sent from heaven. LOL.  ;D Kidding aside, I will try looking for the address here in this forum. Perhaps he has an account here, just like many Bitcoin users. If he is here then I will try to communicate with him/her regarding possible error in sending Bitcoins. If he/she is not here then I will try looking somewhere else. If I fail, I will again thanks the gods.  ;D

Someone losing out on over $1M would probably be enough to convince myself to send -most- of it back, and if they really wanted to dedicate the resources they could probably get some info on me if they tried hard enough, probably doubly so if they included a signed message with a followup transaction. But the chances of that ever happening are basically impossible, even with small amounts landing in my account. There are far too many free addresses that exist for a transaction to be sent to mine.

If this happens to me, I'd probably s*** myself. I mean, what are the odds of suddenly getting a random 100BTC when there is so much addresses. But thinking about what the other party feels, I think would gladly give it back to them because if i was in their shoes, I can only imagine the things that i am willing to do just to get back those 100 btc's.

Never thought about anything like that because it is very, very unlikely that it will ever happen. But when it happen, i maybe send the btc back or invest it in...

It is a lot of money and it would be a great lost to the real owner.  If that amount landed into my account, I will be willing to give it back.  My parents always thought me to be an honest person.  I will put in mind that what if I am the real owner and I am the one who sent it accidentally.  So, I will be willing to wait until somebody contacted me regarding the lost bitcoin and I am very willing to return it.

Post by: Keptone on December 05, 2017, 01:26:59 AM
What a question, this kind of error is rear, but if it comes true, I would honestly hold 10% and send back 90%, why?

Because of Transaction fee.

Because of the time/data/electricity/and stress I would waste in sending back.

Because I would never be rewarded for been honest even after sending back 100%.




Title: Re: A Question for all
Post by: jseverson on December 05, 2017, 01:58:17 AM
This isn't very likely at all and I have no idea why people think this will realistically happen in their lifetimes. If you were transferring to an address, there's no reason not to use the copy and paste feature. This means it's nearly impossible for you to receive Bitcoins out of the blue unless the sender makes an honest mistake, like in campaigns, but your address would have to be in it so you would know who actually sent it, and the sender would know who he sent it to.

Taking all that into consideration, just send the coins back like you would physical money. You don't own it, and you certainly wouldn't like it if it happened to you.


Title: Re: A Question for all
Post by: SUDARMONO on December 05, 2017, 02:02:48 AM
I think I am very excited and I will relentlessly try to get back to the owner again in the hope that the owner will reward me for some coin only if it happens. ;D ;D ;D

100 btc because of mis-send, first maybe I do not believe, if it happens I will be around the world and to return to the owner may have to think first because this is his fault, I assume it's a livelihood for me.

I think that if 100 btc is misplaced it might be that being drunk, because 100 btc is not a bit, surely the one who sent 100 btc will be careful in the transaction, and I think nobody sent 100 btc at this time

maybe I will send 100 btc to the address which sends me or I don't know. actually, I don't have this experience about this and I really don't know what I will to do with that bitcoin. but this will happen if we don't careful when we write the address so the amount is sent to wrong address.

Oh man that is a toughie. Its kinda like finding a suitcase stuffed with cash. My conscience however would urge me to return it, reluctantly I will admit but I would send it back.

I may however keep a small percentage for being so honest lol.

Technically, one should return it to the sender but but but he should avoid anything like this,

"User mistakenly takes control of hundreds of wallets containing cryptocurrency Ether, destroying them in a panic while trying to give them back"

* $300m in Cryptocurrency Accidentally Lost Forever Due to Bug - SoylentNews (https://soylentnews.org/article.pl?sid=17/11/09/0915211).

* '$300m in cryptocurrency' accidentally lost forever due to bug (https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/nov/08/cryptocurrency-300m-dollars-stolen-bug-ether).

You never know if the sender has any control/access on the private keys of sender's address or not because in the case of withdrawal from the exchange, sender don't even know the public address until he gets tx hash. Thus, I would return such accidental funds but only after detailed scrutiny.

Withdraw them all to erase the traces then live a good life with a good house and open a business.
Let us not be hypocrites here. With this value of bitcoin no one will send it back even if they can.
And of course no one will know who is the owner of the other address so he will run.


Title: Re: A Question for all
Post by: cipher-x_09 on December 05, 2017, 04:32:40 AM
I would properly returned the bitcoin because it is not solemy my hardwork or investments. Also, if it was not mine to begin with I wouldn't have interest in it because as a person I was not raised to have interest on someone else possession.

I think i would first research a ton about it if such was possible or if I ak the only one. I would also propably try to look on where the bitcoin came from if it was wrongly sent then I might return it jowever it it was automated and it was still wrongly sent i honestly would use it

this just proves that you never studied bitcoin basics so you do not understand the very basic things about bitcoin.

a bitcoin address can not be wrong if you mistype a letter or two (typos)! all bitcoin addresses follow a simple formatting technique called Base58 encoding. that prevents these types of errors because to put simply if you change 1 letter in a bitcoin address, that address becomes invalid and it will be rejected.

the only way that you can send to a wrong address is if you put in the wrong address, either by copying it from a wrong source or having a malware on your computer than manipulates your clipboard.

so your answer is obvious. if i receive 100 bitcoin, that must have been my payment.


Title: Re: A Question for all
Post by: GideonGono on January 21, 2018, 03:36:35 PM
Unfortunately this may not happen - Since bitcoins addresses are just one and nothing like other bitcoins adds. This is unique and one mistake of a letter will not be accepted by payment processors. So even one letter is accidentally erased or is added this is not accepted and will return you by payment prosesors. So it's impossible to happen. Many times I have accidentally done it. but the only one that sent me was Bitcoins Address not found.


Title: Re: A Question for all
Post by: ledachutkova on January 21, 2018, 03:49:55 PM
I think this kind of mistake may happen only with small sums. Of course you need to check when you want to send big sum, and in my opinion if someone have this sum you're not so dumb to do it random and with so silly mistakes.

Post by: serizawax on January 21, 2018, 03:59:10 PM
I will wait until there is a report or explanation of the delivery error, if it is not there I may use the BTC to provide assistance to the poor people out there, and I may also use it for my personal and family needs, its use in accordance with the guidelines which God has for me.

It is not impossible to happened. But the question is,

But if that happened to me, i think i will just wait the owner to contact me.

Well that's really a huge amount to loose since it is worth $1.2 billion . I would definitely try to find its owner and contact him and know who he got to send me such a huge amount. I am not so kind enough to give him back the whole amount for his mistake. So I will probably keep some amount for myself and then return the rest to him. If he has made a genuine mistake and need the amount desperately may be then I would give him his amount back. We can also use this amount for a while to make us some good profit and then return his amount to himself which will give both of us a profit.

I hope that I would be one of the lucky receiver of that 100BTC. I'm pretty sure that who have send it will hunt the receiver until he can. I don't want to be the bad guy here and waking up one day that there are goons in my front yard and asking me to return the bitcoins. Thus, I will give it back to the sender, minus the transaction fee and other fee that occurs.

To begin with, I would be very surprised by such happiness.
  I would have left about half of the Bitcoins for the future. I would buy myself an excellent place to live, cars and everything in this spirit. Most of the Bitcoins would have invested in big business.
It is a pity that these are just assumptions.

Coin being sent to a wrong address is understandable if you are sending a small amount of coins,you never care whether you are sending it to the right address or not,but for big amounts you will be careful and will re check the address before sending,so these sort of silly mistakes are not possible right now because the price is too high and hence everyone is careful while sending.

I don't think sending bitcoins to a wrong address is possible without any prompting message. However, if it happens so I will surely resend to the right address and only charge for the transaction fee

If there would be a time someone sent me 100 btc on my account, then I'll keep it for good. I think that anyome would do that though. It's because there are no communication in blockchain. Once processed then there's no way out for your funds to go back in your wallet anymore. So, it is better for you to double, triple check while sending.

You can't make a mistype bit I know you never Kent this. You could copy and paste the wrong address or have a virus that when you waste it posts an address owned by the virus creator. I once had that. Nasty business. Always check your address 5x or even 100x because once it's sent that's it no retakes no nothing.

Like any good engineer would tell you. Measure 100x but only cut once.

It's too close to impossible that will happen to anyone, for different reasons, i will write two of them.

1- When a person decide to send such this huge amount, usually he will check the address and the amount two, three time ore maybe more, before he send the 100 btc.
2- If he is so idiot to send 100 btc wrongly, I mean to another address not existing, it will show him that the address is wrong before he can send it.

The only case that he can send this amount wrongly, is when he sends it to an existing address which is excluded, because this chance is too low. But if i received such this great amount i will gave it up back to the owner.

   Lol. Judging by your post, i really think that you are really a beginner and haven't put any effort into learning about things regarding cryptos here in the crypto world. Not even the basics at least. You should be careful about what you post because it reflects on the kind of person that you are.

    How did i know? Simply because it is impossible to happen. But okay, assuming it really did happen and I accidentally received a 100 bitcoins, then i would return it. Minus the fees. Because i know how hard it is to earn that much bitcoins. It's up to the owner if he'd give me some. :)

Post by: tabas on January 21, 2018, 10:43:36 PM
The only scenario I knew for sending to the wrong bitcoin address is when your PC/laptop is infected by a virus that when you are copying your own bitcoin address and pasting it that will change automatically to other btc address. And that's the address of the virus creator that infected your PC. There's no way that someone will even send 0.01BTC to your address accidentally, btc address is compose of unique combination of letters and words.

maybe I will send it back the the address, I don't know why but I just feels that is not my money and I know he will too sad because of this. but I don't understand about sending the wrong address because I am sure that all of us will double check the address before we click the send button, right? besides that, I am sure before we send, there is an info that will say the wallet address is valid or not so we can continue to send.

Straight back. No questions asked and no question about it. There's no way i'm denying someone else their money.

In most jurisdictions it's also regarded as theft the moment you start to spend it. Check out all the chumps who get their bank accounts filled by mistake and go on a spending spree. They all get nailed.

The chances are most of your addresses are linkable to your ID somewhere unless you're hot on your opsec.

We have all read stories of coins being sent to wrong addresses (typos or badly copy and pastes)

What would you do if 100 Btc landed into your account? (unfortunately this has not happened to me yet)

I will be surprise at first but I cannot spend money that wasn't really mine. I will return it to the owner less the transaction fees. If the owner will reward me some BTC because I returned his', I will gladly accept it. I will look for a way to communicate to him and will tell him to be more careful next time.

May be I will send it back but I will reconsider about this thing one more time, may be bitcoin billionaire only want to donate it to me. The first step is try to find the person who send the bitcoin. May it will little bit hard but I have to do all my best.

I wont sent it back to the sender address immediately. I will do verification process. First, I will send a message to the sender to meet me somewhere or do video chat. Then, I will ask about the BTC that was sent to me and to whom it should be given.

If that well happen to me someone well gave or sent a 100btc on my address. I will never sent it back to the address immediatly. I will keep it, and wait until someone look for it. Finding the owner of 100btc is not us easy to do so. Ownly the sender know my address and that sender make the first step to find me. If he or she post my address her or any social media. I will never gave it to him. Posting a address is not a good idea. It can cause alarming. Because if he or she do that, not only him/her my be claiming and said i am the owner of a 100btc. Make a nice way proccess and i will gave your money.😆😆😆

I have been the culprit this situation and in recent times only.One of my bounty coins have been transferred to some other addresses and i was helpless.See person who gets it surprisingly or has nothing to with it can't be blame.But if somebody tries to steal coins from some other addresses is not right at all.The most responsible person here could be the manager.If he gets this information that somebody has given faltered address and he wants to correct it,than it is manager's duty to update that but if he hasn't done that and due too this if somebody faces loss than what are the provisions for justice that's the most important issue.

Yes,

We have all read such beautiful stories... But I guess that actually this never happens.

And in fact it is exactly the same thing if money arrives on your "normal" bank account by mistake. You can know who sent it, so you can always send it back. But would you?

I guess it depends on who you are, how you value honesty and also, the situation you're in. I mean, if you are struggling to pay the rent, it is harder to send back the money than if it is just an unexpected bonus...

Post by: Zebra.Guy on January 22, 2018, 12:41:30 PM
It is impossible, when you try to send bitcoins to another address, and you suddenly have a typo mistake, the wallet provider is going to show you that address as a wrong one.

That is why it is almost impossible to have that kind of mistake, because the transactions that have been sent to wrong addreses are never sent.

Probably, there is one chance in one hundred to send bitcoins to another address that already exists.

maybe the addres is xxxxxxxxxxxx1, and you change that 1 to 2, and it can send it, but it is just that, one chance in a hundred.


Actually in Wallet Import Format (WIF) there are four bytes that serve as control bytes, so if you change one or more address letter by mistake you would need to correctly change the 4 control bytes too, and for it to happen by chance the probability is not 1 to 100, but 1 to 4,294,967,296 which is rather impossible.

But you may copy-and-paste a wrong address. That is definitely possible. I copy and paste wrong info all the time (thankfully it never happened with the bitcoin address and I hope it never will)

I think it is rare to wrongly send btc to a specific wallet address or number, a typo error cannot be succesfully done if you mistype a single character or two, maybe what is more acceptable is sending bitcoin to a different wallet address rather a single character. The exchange would advise you that you have send or typed a wrong address. If it happens to me, a bitcoin was wrongfully sent to me, i would immediately send it back if he contacted me and after verifying the transaction.

The possibility is very small to send bitcoins to the wrong address. This is because the person sending bitcoin would only do a copy paste on bitcoin address because it is very prone to error if we type the address bitcoin manually.

Even if it does happen, I think I'll put it on chipmixer to keep it unable to trace  ;D. Come on, which one wants to restore that much Bitcoin. If it is money and sent the wrong account, there is a rule that the bank cannot withdraw the money, and the wrongdoer cannot sue the recipient.

In almost all cases the person who receives the money mistakenly and spends it is prosecuted for knowingly spending money that isn't theirs.

honestly, this huge amount of bitcoin is a very serious decision you've ever made if you will get it back to the owner or not. for me if this 100btc landed in my address, we are all anonymous so how can I know if this bitcoin landed in my address are came from good or bad people, let it say it was an accident, honestly I will stored it to my address and never touch/spend/transfer any single of it into my another address. because theres a possibility for me to implicate on what just happened after this bitcoin landed in my address.

It is really difficult to send bitcoins to wrong wallet adress which exists because keys are extremely complicated so it's going to be a miracle. Nevertheless, it seems to me that using the money wrongly sent to us is unlawful and may threaten repercussions. By the way, Bitcoin is worth approximately 11 thousand dollars, so one hundred bitcoins is over one million dollars, it's unconscionable and I couldn't let anybody to lose such a huge sum of money. It would destroy his life.

That’s right, banks come with fraud protection that returns your money to you and in the U.S. $250,000 of FDIC insurance should the bank fail. You can’t even lose money when the bank goes out of business. When you make an overseas wire transfer it’s fully insured.

Cryptocurrency has no protections. If an exchange closes in the middle of the night, you lose. If you send your coin into the either, you lose. If you get hacked, you lose. If you send coin to an online business for a purchase and they don’t send your product but still keep your btc, you lose.

With fiat banking the criminal/scammer/conman lives in fear and his victims are protected.
With btc the user lives in fear and the criminal/scammer/conman is fully protected.

If 100 bitcoins will be credited to my account then i think i will be happy to accept it even though it was not for me in reality. I will just accept it because there is no chance for the sender to contact me because the address of bitcoin maybe public because of the blockchain but it will not give you any traces because of its features which means that it is impossible to recover it from me.

If it happens to my address that I have 100BTC that I know it's not my coins. I will decide to return that coins to the owner. It's a lot of money for me and I know the owner will surely find ways to locate me. I don't want to use that or spend to feed to my family which I know it came from nowhere. I have conscience I feel what the owner feel of losing that amount even if it's his mistake.
Maybe he will give me 1BTC as reward. Who knows it's still a lot of money for me.

Even if this is mostlikely impossible because when a typo isn't enough to redirect the transaction to another address but let's play the game.
If suddenly 100BTC landed on my wallet I would re-send them to their owner (I can't sleep at night if I have funds that are not mine) and hopefully the owner will appreciate my act and will give me some tips :)

The chances of that happening is very very low because if it's just one mistake in the address then it's probably an invalid address therefore no transaction will be made. And if ever that really happened to me where I received 100 btc then I'll send it back to the address who sent me but I'll keep some as a fee and right now the fee in every transactions is very high.
