you could always donate them to the bitcoin faucet if you didnt want to keep them.
Once a transaction has 6 confirmations, it is extremely unlikely that an attacker without at least 50% of the network's computation power would be able to reverse it.

I'd figure out how to get it back. You could eventually be sued for keeping it, not to mention it just isn't nice.


lol.

Hello guys,

I've been mining for some months now and use Bitmarket for my trades.
Since 14th of June, someone keeps sending me BTC to my Bitmarket account... it's around 172.8 right now, from the person (I did not trade it yet).

Some days there are no funds incoming, on others 3-5/day ... always like "5,65" or "0,38" - those kinda payments.

Where do they come from and why should someone do that? It makes me feel uneasy not to know where it comes from...

Plus 172 BTC isn't too less money, is it?

If you don't want them, I"ll take them!  address in my signature!

Perhaps someone is confident that they can have your wallet.dat at will and is trying to 'launder' value through your identity.  That would be a method I might employ if I had need to cover my tracks. (I would probably leave you with your initial balance since I am not a thief...though it could be argued that using your existence in this way would be a form of theft.)

Note that this is a _hypothesis_ and nothing more.  Many people get confused on the meaning of that word.

^^^ This.  That was my gut feeling.  Anybody who is able to generate that quantity of BTC at current difficulty is smart enough to know they're not receiving their deposits... so either you have a Great Expectations anonymous benefactor (Spoiler Alert: It was the convict he gave vittles!), or someone is about to rob you.  I'd generate a new wallet, move the coins, change your passwords everywhere, etc. and do some serious spyware scanning.

Worst case scenario, you're being paranoid, but have raised your security and technical knowledge in the process.

If not, PLEASE don't come crying in here about how all your BTC were stolen.

Best of luck!

Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful.
