Right. So by that logic, if I find a real life wallet on the street with money, credit cards and what not, that's also not stealing, I just got lucky and the owner should be more careful not to drop his wallet on the street next time. I hope you never lose your wallet, your keys or your phone then!

Don't compare it with a wallet. Bitcoin address doesn't have anyone's name/address on them

Check the date of wallet creation. It's 2009

Some day, you'll lose your private keys. Some random exploit, virus, perhaps somebody ripping you off; whatever the case, you'll come back to this forum demanding justice and doing everything you can to find the robber, completely outraged. How dare they stealing my coins you'll think. When that happens, I'll link you to this thread and remind you how you once were the robber who stole 50 BTC. Have a good day Wink

Oh wait, dude he didn't stole money from someone.
He's lucky that he got 50 bitcoin in a new generated wallet and he's innocent that's why he posted address here, otherwise he can just ask for import key help and get away. You guys have never even knew about this.

So stop being a prick and let him enjoy his money. If these bitcoin belongs to someone else, he could have spent them, instead of letting them sit in his wallet from many years.

He hasn't stolen the money yet. I sincerely doubt he actually has the private key to this address.

BTW, how can you possibly say four years = "many years"? I have stuff in my fridge older than that.

There is more to Bitcoin than bitcoins.

Where do I use the command

This guy acts like he is a newbie who doesn't know how to spend from a private key he supposedly generated. At the same time, he offers deals like:

You know if I ever discovered the key to an address with coins in it the last thing I would do is announce it to the world. Why alert the owner of that address? If I needed technical advice I would ask for it without revealing the bitcoin address in question.

Well probably he wants to share his happiness with others or he thought it might be bug or something and it shows that he's a innocent guy and it's completely fine.

Well I think we would all like to see them steal at least one satoshi, just to prove that they can.

There is no such thing as a bug on bitaddress. You could have found an address collision or simply mined the coins yourself in 2009, I find the later more credible.

It's more likely there was a 'collision' in the pseudo-random number generation that bitaddress.org relies on than and actual address collision. I would guess 1,000,000's of times more likely. That may even be considered a bug. I modify every generated private key by hand to guard against such issues.

Maybe both the owner of this address (afaik it could be one of the few people with whom Satoshi conversed about bitcoin in 2009) used a similar method with a predictable output to generate an address as ssbtoday with bitaddress: https://github.com/pointbiz/bitaddress.org/blob/master/bitaddress.org.html

This would also mean that other people who used bitaddress at some point (not sure if all versions would be affected and if it is a randomness issue).

For now, I refuse to believe a collision occured until OP proves he has access to the coins.

Stephen already explained how can you import the private key a few posts earlier.
