You quoted badly and your premise is faulty, if not based on omniscience.

I quoted badly? How does one quote badly?

try to sent a message but you can keep 1 BTC - i guess that is fair.

This is funny because today I had a dream where I received like 7 BTC with some weird, random signed messages written on the transactions. The transactions where something like 1 BTC, 1 BTC, 3 BTC, 2 BTC, and every transaction had a message, I don't exactly remember what the messages said, but I remember being happy when I opened my wallet and my balance was 7+ BTC up out of nowhere, then I woke up. It felt so real that i had to check my own wallet, sadly looking as empty as always.

That's awesome. Too bad you can't remember the messages, it would have been interesting to see what the unconscious was telling you.

send it back if it comes from a single address. If it is from multiple addresses, I would try to investigate a bit.

50 bitcoin , lol.
I usually open my wallet and find 0.00001000 BTC in my wallet from one of those stupid double your bitcoin thingies but if I find 50BTC that would be nice but I think I have to search for the owner maybe he/she made a huge mistake

I'd definitely move the coins to a safer, offline address and post about it here, on reddit, vout and phez and try to find the owner. As said before, it's not a good practice to just send the coins back.

i would go on the forums and see if somebody accidentally sent out 50btc to a wrong address. if someone did I'd contact them and after verification send them back 49 Btc. Gotta keep 1 for my troubles  Grin

Return all the money would be the most honest and fairest thing to do.
Perhaps someone thinks that it would be stupid to do something like this but I could not spend money that is not mine.
I would not ask for a tip but will accept any expression of gratitude.
From my life experience I learned that people who help and support others have more happiness and blessings in their own lives.

I would have to give it to charity, that which you have not earned is not yours to keep is what my grandpa always said. It has kind of stuck with me.

Hey I just mined two solo blocks!

That used to happen all the time back in the day - but before my time.
At that time, the block reward was 50 BTC.

I'd keep it unless they contacted me to try get it back and if they sent it in error you can be sure they will. How do you know they haven't sent it to you as a gift for some reason? Sure, unlikely but so is getting a random 50btc.

As a related question (but with slightly different options and outcomes), if you found 25 or 50 BTC in your wallet suddenly and it was a coinbase transaction with no details such as coinbase text that specify who mined it, what would you do?

I just think - there are a lot of nice people, who can share some BTC, for example 50 BTC  Grin

Yes, this is one of those 'transacted with you/etc.' options.  The point is, they know who you are.

Or they were snooping on you, trying to track down your sock puppet accounts by linking public addresses of other accounts, in order to fill their imaginary neg rep quota for the day. In which case I'd say - they damn well deserve to lose those 50 coins.

has transacted with you/etc.

Or they'd had your address in their clipboard, randomly putting them into bc.i, but they didn't immediately recognize it when pasting, and they freak out after the erroneous send, and post a thread. Pretty sure this has happened at least a few times before. Google isn't 100% either.

Try to at least see if you can contact the sender in the first instance as it is quite a substantial amount, even if it were 1 BTC it would be right to try to reach out to them, if you have no luck then I suppose you could just keep it there on the off chance that they will realise what has happened and then reach out to you at some point.

What would you do if you found 10k in your bank account?

If i found 50BTC on my wallet the first thing i will do is to go to the fridge and drink a cold beer, maybe later i will try to contact with the guy throw a new transaction ( with a message ) or something like that, dunno, but ofc i will ask at least for a compensation.

Thats at least what i would like that someone do if this happen to me.
