Call me cynical, but I find it difficult to believe so many of you would really send back the coins.

Checkout the feedback that DannyHamilton left me (the escrow): https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=16614

He sent 11.2 BTC to me by accident, I didn't even think a second about keeping it!

That's really nice of you, but I'm still skeptical that a lot of people replying here would actually do what they say and return the coins.

I would be truly flabbergasted and would wonder where they came from. If the person who sent them really meant to send them or if it was a mistake.

Your just sitting there and you get a notification that you have received 20 bitcoins out of nowhere. What would you do?

Hoard some, spend some to buy into some btc businesses
Assuming, my conscience doesn't kick in and I just return the unearned coins

Some have become way too cheap and it's value is not being recognized.
The value of altcoins is zero. As such, it's impossible for any of them to be undervalued.

That is the nature of the bit coin world right now. Being skeptical is a good defense mechanism. It is the same in the fiat world but the theft is systemic.

I don't think I would return the coins to the owner, probably I would cash them out the day after.

Someone may send to the wrong address and could be sad to lose 20 BTC. Absolutely return back to the sending address. Same as pick up a wallet containing cash, card, ID etc, what will you do?

I agree, or at least make an effort to contact the person.

I would wait some days to see if the sender tries to contact me. Since everything is registered on blockchain, he would know how to contact me, unlike someone that lost his wallet. Otherwise I risk send back to an exchange/mixer/betting site/wharever, or refusing a legitimate donation

It's not that easy to contact you unless the address is publicly associated with your identity. They could post in the forums, but would they see your post? I did make a lost and found thread for this purpose though: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=733875.msg8305774

Research how to create the first bitcoin accepting arcade device. I would like to retrofit air hockey tables and pinball machines, etc with a device that will accept bitcoins for game play. I would later research soda and vending machines using the same hardware portable module.

I'd stash it away to my other bitcoins, so that they can cuddle and make small BTC babies.

Well at this stage, I would wait it out, and if nobody claims it, I would accept it as a gift.

Someone broke into my house and stole $3000 worth of electronic equipment. {And the insurance does not want to pay out, because of technicalities} So I am deep into the red, and my business is suffering, because of this.

So I would see this as a gift.

Give 1 btc away and invest the rest in altcoins
I support your idea. however, you also have to consider and allcoins learn which one will you buy.
because, if you are wrong in buying allcoins, then you will lose it and go bankrupt because
you sell it later when the price is very low

I would use it to start a business, something no one has thought of doing depending on how I got the 20 bit-coin, if it was sent by mistake I would try returning it to the owner, losing 20 bit-coin isn't funny and I would probably cry if it happened to me.
