I will try to find the original owner by first of all searching in the forum and social media but if I find no threads then I will open one, post on twitter, reddit and tell the original owner to come by and post a signed message proving that the address the Bitcoins came from is his and then I would return his BTC.

Also, until I find the original owner I would transfer the funds to one of my cold storage address, I wouldn't want to risk keeping someone else's money in my hot wallet, since I presume that is where I would see it because I rarely check balance of my empty cold storage addresses and if the BTC is send there then I wouldn't even know until the time comes to use that address.

I feel like a lot of people in this thread are lying about how nice and generous they would be...this is bitcoin, all you have to do is throw it in a mixer and nobody knows where it went.

Exactly, some (or maybe most) of people who posted in this thread were just trying to be nice. Maybe because for publicity Wink

Maybe yes they are just trying to look nice in the forum or maybe no they really are like that when it happened to them.

If I opened my wallet and found 50 BTC, I would wonder what I sold while I was drunk the night before.  In fact, I woke up once and found a Pandacoin wallet staking with 60 million Pandacoin in it.  To this day, I still haven't sold a single Pandacoin and have no idea what I was thinking when I got them because I was drunk.

So, with the 50 BTC, I would get drunk, probably, and invest in Pandacoin or something.

conscience? c'mon guys.. lets be real here...
 you did not snatch it. or rob it. it is in your wallet...
it get there in their own. so you did not do anything wrong.haha....
 you should be happy... and get real..
but if someone claims it. that its his and just make some wrong. its a different story.
but when nobody claims it. its all yours. and ofcourse i wont ask in any forum who did some mistake.

If I open my wallet and found 50btc, I go crazy, lol. To have 50 or more, would be very positive, and I think it would not work anymore. only buying low and selling high, would have a daily wage, and invest in new coins POS. I'd have money in all markets XD. Of course as I could I would start and I would make a good and deserved santiago ways, by spanish land.

So many people here answered they will give it back to the sender. But its a really difficult for those people who have a financial problem atm, and suddenly they got that big amount of bitcoin in their wallet. Could we say it is their fortune?

I remember a church cleaner once told me a story when a woman kneel for prayers inside the church and after that she saw an unattended wallet left by someone. She took the wallet but the the church cleaner approached the woman and church cleaner said to the woman "i'll take it as someone might come back and claim" the woman said "no! this is the answer to my prayers".

Same thing might happen if the 50 BTC is deposited to a wrong BTC address.
Yeah, there are many true stories like that. But I have no idea whether God permit us to do that or not? Is it a good or bad deed. In the case, people who get it feel blessed, and in otherwise, people who lose it, feel sad.

If open my wallet and find 50 BTC I would just spend them wisely, like buying myself a good miner so that I could hopefully double my BTC!  Cheesy

It'd be a tough call, but after losing my actual wallet multiple times and having it returned (with the cash still there), I'd try to find the rightful owner.  I couldn't imagine losing 50btc, and wouldnt feel right taking it.  If I legitimately couldn't find out whose they were, then I guess I'd HOLD!

Who knows BTC 50 send by someone for bad like buying drug, guns ,etc
But if someone that send me by mistake contact me and tell his reason and prove of his/her mistake, I will return it.

Many people are gorgeous when they have nothing,
But a good percentage of them change their minds immediately if they find anything new
For me i will hold and will try to find the right person(to sign a message of course) and send it back.

I left my wallet on top of my car once at the end of a construction job and it was the kind of area that developers where pushing the crackheads along. Police found a girl tied up in one of the basesments,hookers would be seen wearing any clothes we left on the site,they ran power cords from our site 4 houses over so they had power and stuff like that.
Anyways I get to the gas station and no wallet. My boss calls me to let me know some guy picked up my wallet and gave me his number.
Meet up with the guy and he had called every business card in my wallet to track me down,said people where just driving over it laying dead in the middle of the street.
Job was cash at the time as well,so I had a full pay cheque sitting in my wallet.
Bought the guys family dinner,just could not believe there are people out there with such great standards in life.

When I was a kid I was like 11 years old. I had just finished working on a renovation for a family friend who paid me $20 a day! Grin Grin
Anyways,I was sitting next to this guy that was asleep the whole trip back home on the bus. Get home and the phone rings. This sleeping passenger had found my wallet
sitting next to him when he woke up with really only $20 and my student id. He phoned every one in the phone book with that last name looking for me to return the wallet.
Would not take my money either. I mean I wish I could be as awesome as these people where to me.

Something to ponder I guess.

BTW it is never gonna happen.
And if so, then it depends on my mood, if I'm happy before that time then I will keep about 10 to 20% and return the rest of it.
And if I will be having bad mood then I will keep the whole lot with me and will not return it back.
