Title: Someone sent me 0.0136 free? Post by: bitkilo on July 21, 2014, 12:05:20 AM Im not sure who but someone sent me 0.0136btc over the weekend, im not complaining because thats almost $10 but would just like 2 know how 2 trace this back to whoever sent it 2 me. Any help would b much appriciated.
Title: Re: Someone sent me 0.0136 free? Post by: rarkenin on July 21, 2014, 12:06:43 AM Just like thefts of BTC, it's hard to trace who sent you BTC, unless you have some clues in terms of who saw the address, whom you've helped recently, etc. I would personally take this in a positive manner, as you've gotten free coins, and it's far-fetched that someone's going to send $10 in a smear campaign of any sort.
Title: Re: Someone sent me 0.0136 free? Post by: bitkilo on July 21, 2014, 12:22:15 AM I got a small payment of like 50cents from freebitco.in just after this so i thought it might be from them but i def didnt win that much. Only time ive ever givin out my address was here to 1 person.
Title: Re: Someone sent me 0.0136 free? Post by: rarkenin on July 21, 2014, 12:49:36 AM I guess that person must have sent you coins then. That, or someone just chose a random address they saw getting inbound transactions in the blockchain and sent coins there.
Title: Re: Someone sent me 0.0136 free? Post by: bitkilo on July 21, 2014, 01:13:07 AM After a bit more investigation i looks like the payment was from freebitco.in, has anyone else been paid more than they won?
Title: Re: Someone sent me 0.0136 free? Post by: nothing2seeHere on July 21, 2014, 02:18:35 AM If you send the TX information then the sender could search these forums to locate you in case it was some kind of mistake.

They could ask for the coin back, but for $10 I doubt it's worth the effort if it was a mistake. Enjoy the money or give it to a BTC charity if you want to help out.

Check your payouts in stats/personal page, there are all your tx. Maybe one of your ref rolled high number just few minutes before payout time. Title: Re: Someone sent me 0.0136 free?

Title: Re: Someone sent me 0.0136 free? Post by: b4basit on July 21, 2014, 07:59:26 AM what is your bit coin address i have done a mistake the address of that was last number 8.
Title: Re: Someone sent me 0.0136 free? Post by: whiteflight31 on July 21, 2014, 08:04:40 AM You shouldn't worry about it, haha, money is money. Curiosity is fine, however.

It might not change my life but would certainly help me buy few nice things or maybe just a good laptop. As per OP, some people do random giveaways, maybe it's one of those, not long ago, someone claimed that received random 0.02 from someone. So don't worry about it.

Post by: ajareselde on July 21, 2014, 02:34:59 PM I sometimes like to imagine that someone make a mistake and send me 1 BTC ;D just 1 btc ? is it change your life or something? Even 1 btc is too much to hope, doesnt everybody double-triple check sending address before making a payment?! But when ure dreaming, dream big, something like 100btc that would realy put an amazing spark in anyones life :) I recieved amounts of 0,01-0,10 btc even; not sure if those are payouts from some forgotten pools or something, but i am happy anyway, and dont even explore where it came from. cheers Title: Re: Someone sent me 0.0136 free?

you better be grateful for it if within three days, you have not found the person who sent BTC means it belongs to you :) Title: Re: Someone sent me 0.0136 free?

Post by: bitkilo on July 21, 2014, 09:33:17 PM Well its been an interesting 2 days, someone gave me 0.0136 btc from 2 addresses then took it back last night along with another $2 i hade in that wallet. Im the first to admit i didnt have any protection on that wallet apart from a good password so i guess its a good cheap lesson 2 learn. If any1 gets free btc from anywhere lock down your wallet ASAP, it might b a scam and u loose the lot. If this has happened 2 anyone else let me know.

Title: Re: Someone sent me 0.0136 free? Post by: Lanzer on July 22, 2014, 06:36:29 AM Hey , can you tell me exactly when that happened?
that day i was messing with a new coinbase acc and send the bonus btc they give to new members i sended that btc to my main donation wallet but they never appeared. Title: Re: Someone sent me 0.0136 free? Post by: FattyMcButterpants on July 22, 2014, 06:42:15 AM Damn that's awesome dude. I want to wake up one day and get a random 0.01 in my wallet or something haha. Did u even read my last post, THEY STOLE IT BACK along with another $2 thats not cool it suxs.they stole it back? so it was never actually in a wallet you controlled. it was only in your account at their website or something. well, you know what they say about not controlling the private keys -- you don't own any coins. Title: Re: Someone sent me 0.0136 free? Post by: bitkilo on July 22, 2014, 09:28:46 AM I dont know if it was in my control because i never tried to spend it i only saw the coins in my account with 9 transactions, next day 10 transactions and all coins gone. Ive already posted where the coins went to and can also post the address they came from. Not expecting 2 ever get them back just dont want it 2 happen again.
As for if i own coins or not im not saying anymore, im paranoid now, lol Title: Re: Someone sent me 0.0136 free? Post by: rarkenin on July 22, 2014, 02:36:43 PM Did you happen to use a brainwallet or import some "sample" private key from some website?

You should check your address on blockchain.info to see if there is a tx to it. You can also check your coinbase account to see if you have entered the wrong address.

Did u even read my last post, THEY STOLE IT BACK along with another $2 thats not cool it suxs.In fact, we don't know if the one stealing your bitcoin is the same person sending you 0.0136 (IMO, very unlikely). Did you download some strange files recently? Title: Re: Someone sent me 0.0136 free?

However, it's also pretty weird for them to pay more than they owed you. Perhaps your browser was lagging behind the actual sum and you won a bet you didn't realize you made or something. As far as figuring out who sent btc to you in general. You can start by googling the sender's address because often it's linked to their bitcointalk profile or some other web dox. Title: Re: Someone sent me 0.0136 free? Post by: Fiora on July 22, 2014, 11:31:51 PM Just remember to not send it back lol. ::)

Title: Re: Someone sent me 0.0136 free? Post by: Possum577 on July 24, 2014, 06:49:56 AM FreeBitco.in could have sent you the money as a teaser to get you back to their site again.

Title: Re: Someone sent me 0.0136 free? Post by: WillyBTC on July 24, 2014, 09:08:49 AM No I'm serious. I accidentally sent you the coins.
Title: Re: Someone sent me 0.0136 free? Post by: DMeeks on July 24, 2014, 11:08:04 AM You can't unless only a single person knows that address "and even that isn't enough since it can possibly be from someone random". Anyway if the person who donated wanted you to know that person could have included a blockchain message but that didn't happen so...

They cannot guarantee you would go back to their site again.Title: Re: Someone sent me 0.0136 free?

It isn't possible to steal someone's wallet just by sending them a small amount. What wallet did you use?

Yep thats right another thread on some idiot having his coins stolen. Long story short i had a small amount stolen from my blockchain wallet, now i didnt have any protection on this wallet other than a good password because it only had about $2 in it and its a good way 2 find out if someone is getting into my phone. So question is, i only use internet on my phone as i dont have a computer and always on the move and now ive been hacked or something whats the best way to upgrade protection on a andriod smart phone?

Check http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/273vi2/if_you_just_received_800_bitcoin_out_of_the_blue to see a person sending 800btc to the wrong address (which turns out to a mtgox address) in early Jun, but luckily he received his bitcoin back a month later. :) Title: Re: Someone sent me 0.0136 free?

Title: Re: Someone sent me 0.0136 free? Post by: kingama on July 27, 2014, 05:41:05 PM OP, good idea to reset the phone but how do you think you may have been compromised? Is it rooted? Did you sideload any apps or install any from outside the play store? Did the phone every go to websites you didn't ask it to? What version of android were you on? It's important to get to the bottom of these compromises because they could lead to significant losses for someone else.

Post by: ForgottenPassword on July 27, 2014, 11:26:45 PM Check http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/273vi2/if_you_just_received_800_bitcoin_out_of_the_blue to see a person sending 800btc to the wrong address (which turns out to a mtgox address) in early Jun, but luckily he received his bitcoin back a month later. :) Yep. This kind of thing happens all too often. People be careful when you press send! My personal favorite: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=135665.0 111BTC sent as a transaction fee... :o incredibly lucky to get it back, he was so lucky it was a known pool who got it let alone an honest one.

Post by: ranochigo on July 28, 2014, 05:36:31 AM I wish I got free mistaken bitcoin like 30 btc (: I doubt anyone would send you a free 30BTC, they are not suited to use BTC if they don't even double check the address. OP had his BTC stolen later on so I doubt you want this to happen to you.Title: Re: Someone sent me 0.0136 free? Post by: bitchon on July 28, 2014, 05:38:45 AM Damn lucky you!
