I got 266 ETH by mistake! (79,000$)

[guynagdai]

Hi,
I'm using Blockchain.info wallet (For bitcoin and for ETH, Do you think I need to move the ETH to somewhere else?)

30 hours ago I got a payment of 266 ETH!! I don't know why and how,
But the strange think that I only see it in my transactions and not in my balance. can anyone explain it?!
The status in "Completed" you can see it here:

Thanks for anyone that can explain!

it seems that transaction just gave few of these XNN tokend i dont see any ETH  involved

[anasso]

you received xenon tokens not ETH probably from an airdrop!

if you want to see them on your MEW click on "load token" or add custom token!

[Blakscorpion]

Sorry for you, but you didn't receive any ETH in your wallet
As previous posters told you, when you check the transactions, it's XNN tokens, that come from an airdrop.

Check the value on the internet, but spoiler alert, it's not worth 280 dollars each

I took an screenshot from my wallet:

This clear all things otherwise I was also very excited OP is now very rich have 80000$ in account surely life changer for any one but now feeling sad for him he has only few coins from air drop 

[guynagdai]

OK now I understand, but how do I take it?
and how do I save my private keys for BTC an ETH from blockchain.info wallet?

[luxiphe]

XNN token likes CNX?

[ahmedjamal1998]

You received Xenon tokens and not ethereum. 266 of that token is about $3 with today's price.

how do I save my private keys for BTC an ETH from blockchain.info wallet?

Here is instructions posted by blockchain.info on how to export eth private keys.
https://support.blockchain.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003653543-Exporting-the-private-key-for-your-Ethereum-address

Export them and then use any ether wallet such as http://myetherwallet.com/ to spend these tokens.
You can actually trade them on mercatox and  etherdelta now.

LOL!!!! 

When I saw it it wasn't in my balance, so I was thinking that is was a mistake and they canceled it.

Thank you all for helping. I will try using my ETH Private key for MEW

[Ralph43]

just send it to me, i will return it to the rightful owner ...  

[wissy]

Good that it didnt happen to me or i would have a heart attack probably and then another one when realising its a mistake...

I thinks, other people sent you token, not ETH to Blockchain.info wallet
I check your tx:
266.2981629151412573 XENON TOKEN Standard ERC-20 Token **
So i can not sent as ETH!

[greatk]

I would have said what life changing mistake but since it's XNN airdrop, you'll have to wait for its value to appreciate before celebrating

[HashFace]

XNN is a weird project.  If I understand correctly, they are simply going to copy EOS once they go live with their own blockchain.  May be worth holding on to.

If you really did receive that much Ethereum for free then you'd have a better outlook on things if you send the money back.
You might be watched or something.
