It does not look very different from some of your other transactions.

Tip? Perhaps someone like a post?

Hardforks aren't that hard. It’s getting others to use them that's hard.

Looks like a complicated transaction...funds in an exchange get dispersed?

I'm not complaining.  In fact I hope this is a weekly occurrence.  I just find it strange to randomly and deliberately receive money.  Just wondering if anyone can give me a clue as to who, what, why. 

Also the address they were sent to is not the one I have in my signature, or my avatar QR.  I think the address was my very first paper bitcoin wallet.

Congratulations are in order.

Enjoy it.

People without a wallet can never receive random bitcoins.

We've had a customer win 2BTC after he placed the bet by withdrawing from BTC-E, some lucky chap has got 260$ randomly.

Anything is possible in the Bitcoin world, including the Nigerian-419 style out of blue sky winning, the difference is in the Bitcoin world you don't have to pay a processing fee through Western Union. Roll Eyes

No see then they would be sending very specific amounts down to the satoshi e.g. 0.23590128
