Actually I never received it, but I once accidentally put the wrong amount of bitcoin when I topping up my prepaid mobile phone. I put 0.015 which the right amount was 0.0015. Fortunately, the customer service of the site was very helpful and refunded my money. Then I realized how bad the person feel if they send their money into wrong address or with wrong amount.
I experienced it on a pay day on signature campaign I thought that the amount given to me is doubled or wrong. So I don't think of other reason of a big payment because on that day my salary should 0.0075 only but I accepted 0.0175 then I thought It is just a mistake but then I realized the every end of the month there is a bonus which was actually happened that day. So when I get to know that I become positive to do more on posting because there is always a bonus every end of a month. 
Topic: Have u ever received BTC accidentally or randomly? (Read 12288 times)
lol i never received yet.may be in the future i hope i received 1 BTC randomly..who knows some body copying my address in any case and forgot to copying his address then put it in his withdrawall 
and when that time comes bitcoin already 5k $ in price what would be your reaction buds? ahahhaa, but me i hope that would not happen because the person who made a mistake will suffer and for sure he will regrets the mistake for the rest of his life, its so enjoying reading more and more answer regarding to OP's question different points of view.. 
I don't receive bitcoin accidentally or randomly because that is seems impossible for me because how can a person send bitcoin randomly without having any issues, I mean the address or bitcoin addresses are so different and unique and just a small space or wrong character that has been changed in the bitcoin address will be invalid and that is why it is impossible to received bitcoin randomly.
Indeed this could be an impossible if indeed you have never felt how to get BTC for free or how you send the wrong addres with BTC. For there is no man in this world who never make mistakes, sometimes things can be the cause of someone wrong in sending the BTC is they do copy addres recklessly when they are going to do shipping BTC. Yeah indeed it's very silly, stupid or unreasonable. But the thing I had ever experienced and I get free BTC 0.15
I have never been in this situation receiving a random amount from a random address that is un expected.But i know some of my friends experience this and they receive some good free money from their wallet that they received from nowhere
I knew friends sending some btc accidentally on wrong address, regret hits him hard, so better make sure whenever sending btc,be sure to send it on the right address, it is fine if were the receiver if not better double check first.I don't if there were some instances if we can ask the address to return the btc,but I know this would be hard.

How I wish it happens, but ever since I have found my way into bitcoin, I have never receive any free deposit any amount I receive, there is always a source of it either prior to the receipt or after it. Aside attack because I have heard about that where you copy an address to send to but you are sending to another address, I dont think anyone can willingly make such mistake to send huge amount to another address. So, for those hoping including myself, you need to wait a little longer.
I have not received bitcoin accidentally but if by mistake I received some bitcoin in my wallet I will have to return it to the owner I.e it may be a wrong transaction from someone else. I think we should be exhibit trust and honesty to ourselves.
I do not believe what you say, although it is a humanitarian act. Bitcoin is a virtual currency, it's free and does not have any definite information about transactions, we can not know for sure who the person who sent it to us, so pay For the owner is an impossible thing. Maybe you will be lucky to get some cash, but I myself do not want that to happen, I do not want to receive money from other people if I do not do anything for them.

How I wish it should just happened because it has never happened to me before but eventually when it will, I hope its a reasonable amount and not the 0.0001 or 0.0002 I am seeing here. Its has happened to me in the case of Fiat, in which I had to return but dont know if I will be able to do same if the owner can find a way to reach me though, I can then consider it.
Dont expect too much out of this situation because these would happen on slim chances since we do know people do seldom make mistakes on transfering bitcoin on other wallets.Same here i didnt expect too much that a certain transfer would mistakenly come to my wallet with decent amounts.I would be happy for sure and i would not give it back to the owner haha since its his own mistake to make wrong transfers.

This never happens in me that someone accidentally sent bitcoin in my wallet. I wish I had but none so far, wheh I learned bitcoin no one really sent in my wallet lol. But you are a lucky one indeed, you may grow your bitcoin so you can earn well.
It happened to me twice. The first one was from a unknown address I received 0.0001btc and there was a message on the txid mentioning about a website. The second time happened on a gambling site when I made a deposit(0.02btc) my balance came in but it was doubled I was surprised and double checked my transaction history just to make sure but I didn't used the extra balance I just wait for their support to notice it so they could deduct it from my remaining balance.
Well you are one lucky guy brother! well that is not all coincidence well I think it all happens for a reason, well the first BTC you have receive was 0.0001 mentioning a website I think you are not aware that you have site that give BTC and you are the one that are lucky to claim something from them well that is just a speculation, and in the 0.02 btc on the gambling site that is double maybe that is an extra reward given to you or an anniversary gift for player, well just backing up your story I just put a fact of event that might happen?

has it ever happened to u that u just had ur wallet opened and suddenly some BTC arrived out of nowhere?
like someone sent it to the wrong address or something?
like suddenly 0.3777 BTC are rolling in but u don't know who sent it, why it was sent and what it is all about?
~CfA~
That would be a happy accident won't it? But no, nothing like that ever happened to me. like someone sent it to the wrong address or something?

I never got any amount of Bitcoin accidentally or randomly. It is not possible if I have to get any Bitcoin some have to sent me this coin. It is not possible Because every one have their own unique address and also if we make any mistake also it shows error.
But it does happen sometimes, I mean, if you have had a transaction with someone a long time ago, then he accidentally copied your bitcoin wallet and pasted it on the "sending" address, then that is how things happen, when you are accidentally received some random bitcoin from somebody, though just like you, I've never experience something like this since I started earning bitcoin last year.
You're lucky if you are going to receive some from somebody, especially if it is a big amount of bitcoin like 1-2 bitcoin, or even more.
Not actually, but yes I have received some bitcoins as a surprise. As I have opted in for yobit signature campaign, I found a bug in the system a few months ago and without having any idea, they sent me 0.1 bitcoins as the reward for the discovery of the bug. It was not an accident but sort of it.
I have also mentioned the story here - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/i-just-got-011-btc-as-bonus-from-yobit-1701611

I have never received any btc accidentally or randomly till that as I feel that its impossible to happen as everyone will recheck the address before sending their bitcoins but I always have a dream that I should receive a huge amount of bitcoins accidentally which can change my life.
Ive recieved a bitcoin on a ghost wallet one time . And after an hour some one messages me here in the forum. He said he make a mistake on copying a bitcoin wallet . He is so thankful because I sent back the ghost bitcoin I recieved on my wallet. Im glad that I help on such a simple way.
