Funny thing I'm learning...

[Lexiatel]

When you receive bitcoins, you literally have no idea where it's coming from. Yesterday, someone gave me 1m satoshies, and I have no idea why. I'm a member of many faucets; but I have never collected that many satoshies.

And I looked at the payout wallet of the campaign I'm in (thinking they were paying me early, but surprised I 'made' that many posts and got paid for them), but nada; payments, from what I can see, have not yet been made.

So thanks to whomever gave me that amount of satoshies, I dearly appreciate it.

probably some one decide to pay you for some service or giveaways you can't ever know /remember
but even seems really hard receive "free" 10mbtc (or 1million of satoshi) ... did you search on google the address? maybe you can understand what is the service / user linked ....

[Lexiatel]

I don't know how to look up the address. I'm using coinbase.

you have a tx id?
can you show a link from blockchain? or even if you have only your address post here and we can see the history of that payment and try to understand where this 0.01 btc come from

[Snorek]

Op, in most cases you can conduct additional search. I am not sure how coinbase wallet works, since I am not their user, but there should be some menu where you can get txid or...
you can just paste you address, into any of blochains explorers, like blockchain.info there you will be able to track your payment further and maybe catch something.

This actually happened to me also, 500k satoshi was sent to me and I was unsure where it came from. At the time I forgot to note the address it was coming from so I am unsure about what address it was from either.

Here's screenshot from coinbase:

And here's the chain info (page I was directed to when I clicked the 'advanced info' link):

From what this newbie understands, it looks like one other wallet received coins (at least in the same transaction mine was in): 1JdwpCU31pENpgWh546riycvp14GvpddH3

My address is: 1A3iatNZz9Eraw1qNdFc9nT5febR7K9Ym4

I'll try doing that, thank you

Congrats on getting the tip, someone must of considered that you helped them with something when they decided to tip you.

If you're interested to find that person, you could try to go to https://www.coinbase.com/accounts/primary   and click  "Wallet address" on the right side.
You will see your deposit address, then copy that and enter it to https://blockchain.info/  (in the search bar on top of the site).
You will then see all transactions in and out of your wallet (but not account to account transactions within CB, if there is any)

EDIT:

Address 1CkwTJL93UKonQKZsMLLyGXYCXR5o5JgLe from which you received the payment sent out (and received) many transactions, and
to me it smells like cloud mining/ponzi (just a speculation tho)

Oh, wow that's very helpful, thank you, I'll try that!

Though I do wonder what I did to deserve the tip, heh...! I'll never know. It was a nice surprise though.

Oh you seem really lucky to get free bitcoin from random user. Even amount is small but as that is free money, congratulation have some coffee with it bro.

Probably a spam transaction. Look at blockchain.info to see if there is a message attached to the transaction advertising some (probably) shady business.

Or someone wants to troll you by sending a 1 satoshi transaction that will never be confirmed and will lock you address for some time

Look few posts above , 0.0104 BTC (almost 7$) isn't a spam transactions for sure. If it would be true, many people would love some "spam" transactions as well lol.
Looking at it now, i don't think it's random, more likely OP was part of something that he forgot about, and now he got paid for it (maybe reached automatic withdraw limit ?!)

That is cool to have some random Bitcoin from someone you don't know, I was thinking about an automatic payout on some multipool but it seems OP haven't experienced mining in multipool yet.  More probably it is a tip but icant find any address from his link, I even think it is from some sort of refferal but the referral on his sigcampaign is from the default referral. Oh well might be from someone whom you helped out.

[Red-Apple]

well one of the address that were used in your link to the tx leads to this wallet https://www.walletexplorer.com/wallet/0001a36396af725d/addresses and it looks like it can be some kind of service based on the way it pays out, maybe even a dice site or something like that maybe you won something and forgot about it.

[Lexiatel]

My memory is bad, but I don't think the high withdrawl is the case, I don't play many sites with that (I only play one, and its not with this address).

It could have been a raffle/lottery though. It is very likely I entered something two weeks ago and forgot about it... I sincerely do not remember though.

Thanks for your help-- how did you find that?! I looked and looked for that info!

Edit: found it now. I see what you mean. Hmm... Well, I'll likely never know why/how I got this, lol.

BTC is still cool though!

True, but the only dicesite that I've been regularly playing is Freebitco.in, and I lost over 100k the other day, not won. And withdrawl there is set to manual.

I suppose it must have been a tip or some forgotten giveaway I won.

Wow ! I wish someone would send me some BTC as a tip too.  That is so rare that some unknown people will tip you 1 million satoshi.  Maybe you have done good and they reward you.  People sometimes tip randomly when they feel good about the recent event happen to them.

oh wow, i think you might have earned that million satoshi because it is really rare that people send it to wrong person, also i think you might know where it is coming from some times because people might tell that it is their address online

[bitbunnny]

Consiedr it as a nice gift. So far I have never recieved something like that. Maybe somen+body sent it on purpose, it's very, very rare that something like this happens accidentaly.

[smho_16]

To me such thing have never happened so far. People are very aware nowadays to not send random amount of bitcoin to strangers on the Internet. That error has a probability to happen 1 in 10000000000000000000000000000 which is negative probability that means chances are high it will never happen. I think you have been part of some website and you forgot totally about it and now you are receiving this transaction but judging from the wallet starting  with 1Cw it surely is some cloud mining for me.

[CoinBreader]

the feeling when you receiving bitcoin in your wallet is very nice, when someone tip you X amount is awesome ! used to have that feeling every week when i was in PBmining , then suddenly the ponzi collapsed  no more weekly payments
but now days where bitcoin price is no one is tipping randomly or sending bitcoins to wrong addresses! so ...
