I would most likely keep it but not immediately. i would wait some days to see if someone contacts me in case that was a mistake or something.
Topic: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? - page 11. (Read 7099 times)
Let's say you wake up some day and you get like 1 BTC. For me this is a lot. What do you do? You return back the BTC to the owner, do you keep it? and why.
I don't know what I would do to be honest. I mean who knows if the guy that just sent you this is a criminal or a good man? Very tough decision. For someone like me that has a small BTC wallet and is trying to make as much BTC as possible before its too late due price going too high, it would be hard to return it, but I would feel bad to keep it too.
For me it would highely depend on the guy. I would try and read his attitude from what he says to me, if he demands the btc then i probablt wouldnt send it back, but if hes nice i would.

Seriously, how is he going to say anything to you?

For my personal better to return it to their owner, because I don't want to eat the food I can buy from the wrong way. 1 BTC is the big amount and enough to make someone become greedy. I always hold my good thing in my brain to avoid the wrong way. but is sure some people have a different statement about this. I don't know what I would do to be honest.

No I do not think that I would return it, I would sell them right away to make some money. There is no reason for me to return it because I can sure use the money, maybe if that preson really needed it back and send me a nice e-mail on why they need it.

Do you use your bitcoin address as an email address as well? How in the world is anyone going to email you about this error? You have so many posts but don't know the basics of bitcoin...
Also you are dishonest.

i would return, as i think it would be theft to keep it, but i can understand the temptation to keep it.
I'll try to announce in this forum, if it is still difficult to find any signs or evidence of who the owner is. I might save it in a few weeks. then maybe I'll use 
Try it, my addy in my profile.
Even if it came from a criminal, he does not know you.

It would depend on the sum and the original owner would need to make contact that he/she made a mistake. If it was a larger sum (> 0,01 BTC) I would return it on request to a specified address. However the request should be made within two weeks after sending the funds with some kind of proof of rightful ownership.
I don't think it is advisable to simply return Bitcoin received in error to the sender without prior investigation. Among other things it may be possible that the coins where sent out of a web wallet and might be lost, if the sender is not in full control of the sending address.
Also it is extremely unlikely to receive Bitcoin from a total stranger due to error, because he/she needs to actively select your address.
ya.ya.yo!

It would depend on how lazy I am at that moment. I'm usually very lazy overall so no, it's my coin now. If it happened on a gambling site and someone tipped me a coin by accident, then of course I would send it back instantly..
I would return it if it's obvious it comes from one sender.
When it seems to come from an exchange or gambling site with multiple addresses and such i will hold on to it for a while untill someone can send me some proof.

How could they send you proof? Are you expecting a blockchain message in a second transaction to you?

i will return this time when the sender ask me for return his btc other wise if he even not ask for anything then should be not cos he happy to send not for receive.. and only happen this way.. thnx
This question is not about Bitcoin at all, it is mainly about moral code of every single one of us. As receiving BTC is not linked to any possible threat, most of us wount never give it back.
I guess only extreme wealthy bitcoiners (or saints) could potentially avoid temptation and sent that money back. That is the harsh truth.

Let's be honest and don't be lier if we receive just like 1 bitcoin by an accident would you return it? I think almost of the users will say no because first it will be hard for us to know if that bitcoin address that send us some bitcoin is the real owner second why would miss that opportunity to get that amount in a easy as 1,2,3 . Let's be honest guys don't lie to other or even on our selves

To get an error like that is like impossible. But as said there is an if. So I wont give it back. I will gladly accept it with all of my heart and thank him in the air for sending me something that big.

Well I certainly wouldn't go out of my way to try and find the owner The way I see it if you're careless enough to send BTC to the wrong address, the amount you sent probably don't mean a lot to you anyway. If it happened to me, I would write it off as a loss immediately, regardless of the amount.
I'd likely get the iPhone 7 with that 1 BTC and I wouldn't lose sleep over it either

To be honest I do not think so, it also depends on how much we are talking about. If I just got 0,1 BCT then I would return it because it is not much.
I would not return a whole BTC or above because then we are talking real money and I am not giving that up.
