if you entered your wallet and you found 50BTC what you will do ?

[Kprawn]

You would want other people to do the same, if it was you. Right?  

As said, do unto others as want done onto you....

And as they also say, karma is a bitch. Some bad luck is bound to befall you sooner than later so do the right thing, get the funds back to its rightful owner.

Geeez I have to go with you on that.. I have seen too many people keeping stolen things or money they have received from some dodgy source, just to lose it all after a while.

That might be the life savings of someone and he or she might commit suicide, if they lost their life earnings or all the savings from a startup business or a charity.

That said, if that money came from a wallet with say 100 000 coins, I would send a small transaction back, with a little note and negotiate some terms for a payback. ;->

It's the right thing to do.

or will send some of it only ?

There is basically no chance in hell he could write the adress wrong and it go to another adress unless he did it purpose so what I will do with those coins is what I usually do with my coins which is hold , hold and hold till it BTC reach a GOOD amount then Iwithraw

yeah, I moved to my mobile for transactions most of the time. scanning a QR code prevents human error not always possible, but I use it whenever I get the chance to

[Akshay kumar]

ha its nice to do that.......!!!!!

[Heutenamos]

That is truly a interesting question. I would not really refund right away to the address which sent me this, because it may also be an exchange's address which a client used to send me. I would simply open up a thread and ask the sender to pop up and provide enough details to convince me, if he is able to do so, I will happily hand over him the amount.

[coinpr0n]

I too would hodl 'em. But I'd probably send them through a mixing service first just in case they are following the trail.

When that time comes even it's impossible my conscience will decide what's good for a worst or bad for a better.

Remember, K*rma is b*tch*ng around.

Well if i find 50Btc on my wallet i will do:

1. Throw a big party with girls
2. Throw a after party with even more girls
3. Give back 25Btc to who given to me with a link to the photo of the girls that were present at the party (because 25Btc can be used for personal things + party + girls)

P.s. is me or a topic of this kind sounds a bit offtopic?

[Soros Shorts]

With few exceptions I give out unique addresses for each payer. If I found an unexpected 50 BTC in my wallet I would contact the payer to whom I had previously give out the address to. If he/she does not know anything about it, I will keep the 50 BTC!

[okae]

If i found 50BTC on my wallet the first thing i will do is to go to the fridge and drink a cold beer, maybe later i will try to contact with the guy throw a new transaction ( with a message ) or something like that, dunno, but ofc i will ask at least for a compensation.

Thats at least what i would like that someone do if this happen to me.

[tiggytomb]

Try to at least see if you can contact the sender in the first instance as it is quite a substantial amount, even if it were 1 BTC it would be right to try to reach out to them, if you have no luck then I suppose you could just keep it there on the off chance that they will realise what has happened and then reach out to you at some point.

What would you do if you found 10k in your bank account?

[Klestin]

has transacted with you/etc.

Or they'd had your address in their clipboard, randomly putting them into bc.i, but they didn't immediately recognize it when pasting, and they freak out after the erroneous send, and post a thread. Pretty sure this has happened at least a few times before. Google isn't 100% either.

Yes, this is one of those 'transacted with you/etc.' options.  The point is, they know who you are.

Or they were snooping on you, trying to track down your sock puppet accounts by linking public addresses of other accounts, in order to fill their imaginary neg rep quota for the day. In which case I'd say - they damn well deserve to lose those 50 coins.

[HeroCat]

I just think - there are a lot of nice people, who can share some BTC, for example 50 BTC 

[hexafraction]

As a related question (but with slightly different options and outcomes), if you found 25 or 50 BTC in your wallet suddenly and it was a coinbase transaction with no details such as coinbase text that specify who mined it, what would you do?

[Coogan]

I'd keep it unless they contacted me to try get it back and if they sent it in error you can be sure they will. How do you know they haven't sent it to you as a gift for some reason? Sure, unlikely but so is getting a random 50btc.

[teknohog]

Hey I just mined two solo blocks!

That used to happen all the time back in the day - but before my time.

At that time, the block reward was 50 BTC.

[GlassWerx]

I would have to give it to charity, that which you have not earned is not yours to keep is what my grandpa always said. It has kind of stuck with me.

Return all the money would be the most honest and fairest thing to do.
Perhaps someone thinks that it would be stupid to do something like this but I could not spend money that is not mine.
I would not ask for a tip but will accept any expression of gratitude.
From my life experience I learned that people who help and support others have more happiness and blessings in their own lives.

[teemus]

i would go on the forums and see if somebody accidentally sent out 50btc to a wrong address. if someone did I'd contact them and after verification send them back 49 Btc. Gotta keep 1 for my troubles 

[unamis76]

I'd definitely move the coins to a safer, offline address and post about it here, on reddit, vout and phez and try to find the owner. As said before, it's not a good practice to just send the coins back.
