Topic: Have u ever received BTC accidentally or randomly? - page 17. (Read 12290 times)
Never had and probably never will. It's just nearly impossible. The chances of me receiving bitcoins randomly or mistakenly is less than winning the lottery. Just imagine how much of an address there is, and how much is created daily.
There was a thread recently that someone put up, they received an amount and was trying to find out who the sender was so they could notify them and send it back.
I think it is the decent thing to do in the first instance making public the address it came from and txid in the hopes that someone searches for their address to see if they can find their missing bitcoin, then if you cannot find the person at least you tried, it could be that persons last penny, you never know their situation and although they should have double checked the address accidents can happen.
Then if you can't locate them it's down to you what to do with it.

That's not happen to me, buta lready happen to me is double sending with my btc address I receive it double , I don't know if it's normal but it happen 3x in me, just only small amounts. Like 0.001
I guess I am not that lucky to receive free bitcoins out of the blue. No such things never happened to me.
I had to always earn my bitcoins. Be it from trading, mining and signature campaigns. Nothing came free to me. I had to spent a lot of time to earn my bitcoin. Instead I received less bitcoins few time than expected.

I actually did. It came from this address: 1Enjoy1C4bYBr3tN4sMKxvvJDqG8NkdR4Z
Also, if someone were to mistakenly send me maybe 150000 bitcoins, I would not return it since they know better than to ignore who they're sending it to.
"I accidentally sent them, may I have them back?"
Pfft. Impossible for you send me BTC by accident, especially with that large of an amount and considering I usually use vanity addresses. As if 1PandaExaY8XmCLSWbAw2prEjbYKgHY2g wasn't obvious enough.
It's your responsibility to double check, and it's your fault for not doing so. Therefore, your stupidity will give you an expensive lesson. By accidentally sending BTC to that address, you are completely giving up and transferring ownership of said bitcoins to PandaLion98, implicitly or otherwise, and it is at his sole discretion as to what he'll do with it (definitely not going back into your wallet). You have/had all the opportunities to make sure that your bitcoins be sent to your intended recipient, but you blatantly ignored them.
Moral lesson: Always triple check your destination address, especially with large transactions.
I'll be sending a link to this post to whoever messes up and accidentally send me their bitcoins.

I had funny situation like that. Well, not exactly - I will explain. One day some time ago I received random amount of btc - IIRC it was something like 0.01 or less something like that, quite insignificant really.
I was wondering where this money come from, and at first I couldn't figure it out, initially I thought someone tipped me or something.
But after day or two I realized that this BTC was bonus from some new casino I said I will test with free money. But I was confused AF back then because I forgot about this offer at first.

It never happened to me, but if that happens that would be awesome, but in case i receive any donation i would search first for that address if i can found any contact info about him and if i could i would as if he sent accidentally or it was a donation to me.
Yes 2 times.
Once I received 1.14+ BTC on a dice site. Turns out a chat user withdrew his money to my address by mistake. And I returned it at that very moment.
And the second one is even more surprising. I received a 0.004 BTC payment from a random address. The address was spamming the bitcoin network with 1 satoshi transactions and I don't know why it sent 400k satoshi's to my adress.

Haven't been lucky to get such bitcoin. But mistakenly I've send bitcoins to wrong address which I never got back.
I am not that lucky to receive any amount of btc randomly or accidentally as God has already told me that if you want to earn money then you need to make efforts, don't look for shortcuts.
Yes i did, I was able to received two times already once every 2 weeks. I want to know where it is coming from so i could say my thanks to him or her. It is a small amount of Bitcoin but still it is a big help to me.

because many people are looking after it becasue the price of one bitcoin is really high so you dont make mistakes with it.
I think i got lucky sometimes, but usually i get very small amount (0.0001BTC or less) which can be considered as dust and it only can increase my tx fee because many input.
Maybe you guys still remember when scam investment advertising through blockchain.info by send small amount of bitcoin to many addresses with message

Not till toady its happened with me but I think some day it will happen. If i got some free btc then it will be a good thing for me. But as i know about btc it will never happened. Because everyone copy and paste address when they send btc. No one type an address.
I have never received bitcoin accidentally or randomly! Probability of happening so is very less. I have never sent bitcoin to any wrong address as well because I always double check before sending bitcoins and sometimes when I send large amount, I use to check up-to five times.

This never happened to me but I would love if it did. To suddenly and unexpectedly see 0.3 BTC in your wallet is something no one would mind I guess.
The chances of that happening is very slim. You do get people, who would send a few Satoshi's to a known address, just to advertise something, but that cannot be defined as accidental. There are simply too many possible addresses for people to make that mistake. ^hmmmm^
I once received a low amount of bitcoins randomly, I honestly still do not know from who and for what.
Of course I do not mind that it has happened but it stays weird.

AS much as i want to receive huge amount of btc in my wallet. no one seem to accidentally sent it to me.
i might not believe him if he wants it back actually lol.
