Did somebody ever received a BTC amount by accident !?...

[Little _damsel]

Bitcoin addresses are very long and cryptographically made, so sending to a valid random address is rare. Most of the time it happens as a result of copying the wrong address or confusing networks, not really by guessing an address by chance. Accidental BTC transfers have happened and recovering it is very difficult because bitcoin is irreversible.

Returning it is a moral decision not a technical responsibility tho, I  personally think I'd return too, but after proper confirmation to be sure it's not a scam.

Never received bitcoin mistakenly but there was a case where someone sent a coin while don't give away (can't recall if it's bitcoin) and sent it above the quantity he's supposed to send send. Even though the receiver had the ability to walk away with the coin, he still dims it fit to make a refund and that made a lot of headlines.

It was only possible for such mistake to be corrected because the address was correct while the amount wasn't. If both were wrong, or the address was wrong, such money would have gone like that. If I receive crypto from a source I don't know, finding out the sender will be totally dependent on my current moral stand.

in Bitcoin it will be easier to make a such mistake than in fiat account, because in Fiat account when you copy the recipient account number it will display the name of the right owner of the account and you will see it and confirm the name before sending why in Bitcoin nothing will show when you first your address as you are using a wrong address but if you are using a Fiat account the name of the bank will show and if you put the name of the bank wrongly it will also indicate that you are not at the right track, so the difference between sending fund's to Fiat account and sending to Bitcoin address account you can easily make mistake when sending in Bitcoin than in fiat account

This is wrong. You can't randomly send Bitcoin to an address with a change of characters from the wallet address because most walles has an error checker.

Bitcoin addresses are encoded in either bech 32 format or based 58, if you paste a wrong wallet address with a missing or changed character, the wallet will detect the missing character because the checksum return will not match the public key hash data and that helps you avoid mistake of sending Bitcoin to a wrong address.

It's always hard to see people complain of sending Bitcoin to wrong address but if you download a malware, it can a mess around your copy-paste, such can modify your keyboard. Such malware can change copied address and give you scammers own. We have seen such reports many most often.

I received some bitcoins by accident.
Actually, it was some satoshi.

It is a technique known as dusting.

I just wanted to share an incident related to wrongly sending BTC. I remember clearly that once upon a time I worked with some people on creating a token, wasn't really successful in the end, we did not scam anyone but it just.. didn't get attention from many people, and the ones who did show up, couldn't just keep investing, so after a while nobody wanted to buy it.

But I remember, when we were doing that, the owner of the project sent money to someone else by mistake, wrong address, and of course that resulted with a ton of issues for the team.

Many of my friends and I are holding 100s of bitcoin addresses but never received any bitcoins except few dust attacks.

One wrong click on the blockchain can instantly kill a project. True expertise isn't about hoarding hundreds of addresses; it's about locking down every single transaction.

I never pray to make a wrong bitcoin transaction because it is most likely that I never get it back refunded to me by the recipient, the worst of it all is to send to a wrong address that does not even exist or wrong network, just forget that it is gone completely because bitcoin transactions are not reversible, lastly, I am more scared of those that we sent a little amount of money to my bitcoin address with the intention to scam using different techniques of fraudulent acts, an average person will not mistakenly send a huge amount of money to your wallet address, but the kind of stupid mistake you will see are those that are of small amount of money that are unreasonable.

I Can only say  BTC once it’s gone, it’s gone.



About the  random, tiny deposits: Dust attack or address poisoning! and we have Alot of Scammers using these tricks in order to track your wallet or trick you into copying a fake address from your history.

 You’re completely right to be suspicious  .

God bless !
