[Papa Bear]

how do you get that much bitcoin please tell me whether you mining or doing things that are illegal 

[virasisog]

If you found that wallet with a private keys ,Its a Yes you can take that bitcoins and transfer in other wallet . I dont think that kind of situation is illegal we are anonymous in bitcoins so you can't be track . So it is your now ,you're a very lucky man if its true ,If not its not us your just trolling yourself without nothing.

Hi,
i have found a wallet with 40 BTC.
The last transaction was 2011.
Can i take the money?
Or is it not legal?
Please Help!

Best Regards!

since the last transaction was from 2011 so it is possible that the wallet is lost but I am not sure, you didn't know who's the real owner of the said wallet so I think it is not wrong if you are going to transfer it to your wallet don't lose the chance to take the money lol I just wonder why you posted a topic like this if I were you I'll never hesitate to get the bitcoin if you are being serious

When i have time, i send a picture of my wallet.

Tip: Search on Pastebin by "bitcoin adress" sometimes you find working private keys.

Best Regards!

Please consider donating to projects who supports the community, they really deserve this, and without them, bitcoin is nothing, and you wouldn't be able to exchange, trade, play, gamble ...

I strongly second this. If you are going to keep some, fair play but supporting the community is so important to the success of bitcoin.

It was a private key, i found it in a forum.
Not in the darknet, in the clear Internet.

Best Regards!

You are very lucky. You shouldn't have posted about it here. This "40 BTC" in the title is definitely going to attract a lot of unwanted attention. And mind you, the wallet thieves are getting active once again, perhaps encouraged by the latest rally in the exchange rates. Move the coins to your personal wallet as soon as possible and guard against hacking.

Why would someone post their private key just like that in a forum?
It is just hard to understand how he is putting this.
Even if that was long ago those are bitcoins are loved by their owners. Specially if the owner is a miner.
Well if it is really all true then you just need to take it and enjoy. Which I truly doubt.

There would be no dumb person on how he post his private keys on public and its really just nonsense to think off that he did just found out that so easily and same as other people said here theres no any picture related to the said wallet that he claims he found out which indicates this is just trolling.

This may be fake. But I have a feeling that the OP is telling the truth. In 2009, the Bitcoin was worth less than $0.001 per coin (as per the exchange rates from New Liberty Standard). Someone could have mined a block and transferred a part of it to a personal wallet. Then he might have posted the private key in some forum. Back then, it was worth just $0.04.

[Mr.grin]

lucky once. maybe if I get a wallet like that, I'll use it when I need to. probably, people who have forgotten the private key to sign in to their account. Well, I guess we can not return it to the people who have it, because we do not know who it is. it could be anyone. If you hesitate to use it, it's better to forget it. but it is very difficult to forget 40 BTC in a short time.

I was in the forum where you were, and I also found a private key that contains 150BTC, last transaction dated 2010, I wanted to post here but as you just done it, I will just see the reaction Of poeple before reacting.

I was trying to print them on paper, but something went wrong and printer sign me up on that forum and post my private keys!
I think it was printer.forum.btc new kind of trojan.  
So, may i have my private keys back? I'll give you 10% back

You found the keys to a car. Can you take the car? Is it legal?

I guess here in bitcoin the situation is not same because we are supposed to keep our private key in safe place and one who get the private key is considered as the owner of wallet. Its not the fault of julempX to get  the private key of that particular wallet.

Wow, you got my attentions man. I wonder how to access a wallet just by having the address and its private keys? I really don't know. Anyway,you are very lucky for having that big amount of bitcoins. Don't lose the chance, you are now the new owner.

[yellow1]

I guess if you could let us know you wallet or even a pics then probably a lot of members would believe you. Or maybe share us what forum you got the private keys?

If you indeed found a bitcoin private key, you can have it and it perfectly legal in a sense.

You have time to post this, I am sure you have time to paste the address and post the image. It won't take that much time. Prove what you're telling is true and people will stop treating you as a joke.

Don't be an idiot.  The money is yours.  It is not illegal to transfer bitcoin if you have the key to do it.  Having the key means it is your bitcoin.  Take it and transfer it to another address before another key holder does that. 

Well that is obviously completely false. 

[SpousedHF]

I mean it probably is illegal but at the same time I am almost positive what happened is the guy just forgot about it so yeah I would take it but definitely don't say if you are going to take it but if you want to be a good person you could always try to get in contact with the person who owns it and inform him of it.
