Someone have sent me btc by accident i think

[LoyceV]

Can you change "send" in the title to "sent"? I was expecting a different story


The only thing I can think of, is that someone accidentally copy/pasted your address somewhere, and sent the money there instead of to his/her own address. For this reason I always empty my copy/paste-history by selecting something random after copying an address. I can recommend doing this, it prevents possible expensive mistakes.
If it's an exchange you may be able to contact them and ask if they can help you trace the owner. It's not a request they get every day so they may be willing to help you.

You are amazing, if you don't find the righteous owner, please take it as a gift.
AND DON'T POST THE ADDRESS!!!!
DON'T POST THE ADDRESS I REPEAT!!!!!
The owner will tell you the exact date and time for such a big amount.
So, you can find the owner without being scammed.

If he didn't post the address, the odds of the real owner stubling upon this thread would be close to zero, also if he didn't post the address, everybody who sent ~0.5BTC to the wrong address during the last 6 months would start to PM the OP. If the real owner can sign a message with 12CGV1ScsKFkGKr2y5MAZfiwfr1wV1Kc6H i think the OP can be allmost completely sure that he/she is the real owner.

He mentioned May 5.
Not everyone is rich enough to send .5btc on that day
And rich people wont bother coming here to get someone else btc

[jhenfelipe]

you can get free btc from btc faucet, like  freebitco.in

Hello there! Are you sure you read the main post? I think you're not, it seems that you have a false response to OP. He's not asking for sites that are giving free bitcoin. Just letting you know, so that you will be careful on posting next time.

[SourThunder]

It is highly appreciable for you to be honest enough to come up and announce honestly that you will return the money of someone else.
You are a kind soul. My idea is that you wait for the right person to come up and claim here with all details or give his signed message. Good luck and all the best. I hope there are others like you.

[andreld]

It was not my plan to launch a wave here.
All i did try to archive is to find the real owner and refund him his bitcoins!
And whoever tell me i did this to gain trust it's false i not except anything for this it's just not my money so i try to refund it.
Now i could keep it yes but i would be happy if i would get a refund if i did send it by accident and i think anyone else would be happy as well!

And to all the haters or the people who call this "a way to gain trust". you can quote this message i will donate it to a charity in after 30 days from now on.

And i will post the txid and all proofs i did donate it!

[enhu]

Take it as a gift. or you can simply donate it for it to be of use. 

[a7mos]

If I sent a transaction by mistake I would try to find the receiver as possible as I can specially when the tx is not small like here. so If no one contacts you for 30 days. I believe that the sender does not care for his money because he can find you with google now and he can send a small tx with a note on the blockchain to send you a msg

Hello,

I just opened some wallet i not used for a month now.
Here is the strange story now:
I got 0.5 btc on the date of may 5 this year.
But i have no clue from who and even why because i know 100% all my transactions and i would 100% not forget a such large amount.
Now belive it or not but it's not my money and i would like to return it to the sender but the wallet he used to send it from seems like some exchanger to me.

Anyway i can find the original sender?

haha appaluces to your friends, is rarely a good guy now. I think it's hard to find the original sender, but maybe you can post your addreas here or tx of the transaction. perhaps there are some who claim, but it sustenance for you. hehe

This thread is only 2 pages long and you couldn't even be bothered to read any of the posts, if you had you would see the OP has posted the txid and other members have looked into it.

Stop spamming for your signature payments!!!

Did you even read any of the posts in the thread or you are just posting for the Yobit in your sig

Sure here is the txid in question :

https://blockchain.info/tx/699c2aeafd4efae43a91b9955c87178bd1cb08fb70c3e8b616ac4978e25e8c0f

Please note i moved them now to another wallet because the one i found the coins where on my ipad and i am about to format it.

If the original sender can proof the ownership i refund it!

If no one claims it for 30 days, i will donate it to some charity (i will proof i really did donate it)

Again it's not my money and i see no reason to keep it!

Stop lying and sign a message from the same wallet or the wallet where you moved your coins containing 0.50 Bitcoins.Signed message or it never happened.I see this as a shady way for earning trust around the forum.

Everything seems to be consistent with the story in the OP

If no one claims can you make a game and give it to the winner.
0.5 btc is a lot of money for me.. and i am saving just to reach that amount .

Lol its impossible to give it for a game.. maybe the owner is there.. just wait for a days but many impostors there just be careful to choose people who is real.

[neopharma]

you're a cool guy and I appreciate it when people are honest. If you would p.m. with an address, I would like to tip you a small amount.

[abugseuf]

if you are sure that it is not your money and some one has sent it to you accidentally then it is your duty to return this money. Hope that you will get a very positive result of this kindness. but you must be careful while sending him his money back. you may not sent his money to some other person accidentally.

[romero121]

You are lucky. Even when the halving is getting closer you've got a good amount which describes how lucky you were  and if you need to be good, then cross check and make sure its not yours. Just send it back to the address from which you got it.

[merelcoin]

I'm not sure if i agree with this... Chances are:

• the original owner no longer has the private key (this can happen). You would just burn the coins then
• the address belongs to a mixing service. You would either give a donation to a bitcoin mixer or (in case they recycle deposit addresses) you would give a donation to the person that is now using this deposit address
• the address belongs to an exchange. You would just give them a  donation
• the address belongs to a different service, like a gambling service, a monthly subscription,... You would basically give them a donation
• the address belongs to a criminal. In that case you'd just be refunding stolen money... Rather give it to a charity in that case
• there was no mixup, somebody actually tried to pay the OP for something (a very, very, very big tip for example)

All addresses and tx id's have been staked on bitcointalk. It should be indexed on google within days... If i were the OP, I'd just transfer the coins to my own address and in case somebody steps foreward and proves he owns the original input address (with a signed message) and has a reasonable explanation of what went wrong, i'd refund him or her 0.5BTC from my own address.

Have you ever attended a competition at one of the sites that give you a big reward for the winner maybe it was a gift so take it no one will know it too: P

[Dank Frank]

I remember a story of a guy who was wearing a shirt with his BTC QR code on some party and came home and someone gave him $30000 worth of BTC.
Just like you being honest about giving it back if it was mistaken, there are also some generous people who like to give it away. 

It's hard to find the original owner. Buy yourself something nice...
