I'll bet one dollar if anyone manages to generate an address which already has BTC in it.

The probability to get struck by lightning 4 times in a day is bigger than that.

Lol I thought it was an impossible thing happens I'll bet a few dollars if there is someone who gets bitcoin when they do generete bitcoin address, and bitcoin already exists at that address lol. because it is an impossible thing to happen. generete address is an address that has not been used and is still new. so there may be people wrong before sending money to that address is impossible

Let's say I generate a new address and by some miracle it has Bitcoin already in it belonging to somebody else. Is it legal to just take it? I understand those odds are very low, no need to lecture me, I'm just interested.

From your topic you already said stealing and you are still asking whether stealing of bitcoin is legal, please it's very illegal to steal any man's property be it bitcoin or not

I think it is not form of stealing because bitcoin wallet not gives you already owned bitcoin address they always gives a unique bitcoin address if your generated address has bitcoin already you are lucky but do not think the bitcoin included have owned already.

That's even beyond lucky to receive and address that is pre-owned by someone else. That is actually a glitch and it would be needing a fix as soon as possible. More over bitcoin addresses are designed to be unique always at an incredible amount.

Stealing is stealing , of couse , that is illega. Sad

Stealing bitcoin is illegal. But stealing Ethereum or the DAO tokens is legal according to some of the people.

Why? Who said stealing Ethereum is legal? I believe stealing any crypto currency is illegal, even if there is no authority who could hunt the thiefs.

I believe it depends on the quality of the lawyer..

Yes, it depends on the quality of the lawyer and as we know a good lawyer can make you go free from the court even if you've committed a crime, but still we can see and decide by ourselves whether the thing is right or not. Stealing Bitcoin is like stealing any other valuable thing, it's illegal and it's really bad in general.

What is the meaning of Stealing - it means that you are taking others belongings without their consent, which is anything that is considered as stealing , and bitcoin is not other it is also the same thing, But for other stealing their is a law and you can catch the thief but in bitcoin you cannot find who have stolen your bitcoins through Wallet address as it dont contain any information about the owner of that wallet address. That is why most of them today are mostly on stealing bitcoin as it is untraceable.

Stealing is always illegal things, even on bitcoin too. But there is no big rule to rule that thieves, like a jail for them, so it's make anyone want stealing bitcoin out there.

Just follow the rules

yes of course. Stealing bitcoin is illegal. from the word itself "Stealing". we all know that stealing is illegal. all of us are working very hard to earn bitcoin and then someone who has a power to steal has stealed all of your bitcoin from your wallet, do you think it is legal? those who steal may have some suspension or worst, be jailed. it is not fair really.

Are you generate a new address then get some miracle has bitcoin alreadt in it? not realy this are happens mate. but you experienced this your words, may it's back again to your-self. this are money not yours mine all in yours hand, wanna take it or not. But for stealing bitcoin is are illegal.

If he generated a new address then theres already a bitcoin inside it then it would be rare situation because i do beleive your the only one who are experiencing that i guess. since bitcoin addreses are genrated automatically and its impossible to have a funds already maybe its someones wallet. It couldnt be called as stealing since you dont have an intent to get those bitcoins from the owner.

Thats right if you dont have intention to get those bitcoins then it cannot be called as stealing, you can just keep those coins and be thankful to the owner of that bitcoin since you wouldnt find him anyway. Grin

Just assume it that its a blessing, that a very uncommon situation that does not happen to any one.

you are right some lawyers could definitely answers that question. haha. Couldnt believe you can escape such crime that you already commit but it doesnt mean you guilty? Who the hell gonna believe you? Once you have intentions to a certain thing then you really meant to do it. I was really surprised what type of lawyer can he be.

Yes! Of course stealing bitcoin is illegal. Still, if you find a forgotten wallet/lost wallet, it'll not be illegal. Because, owner of those bitcoin might have forgot about that.

disagree you are wrong because stealing of bitcoin is illegal in any situation ,so you can not say legal if one person steal bitcoin from other .

Agree with you about this but have one question then what to do with this if some one find any forgotten/lost wallet because he has no contact or any thing about him ?

If you find a lost wallet or a forgotten wallet, then I guess it's both fine and not fine to spend them for yourself as the decision would depend on how you would see it for yourself. Since, you do not have any contact with the owner of the wallet, it would be a waste to just leave the coins in there but then again, the owner might have been saving those coins for a long-term and you just happen to accidentally run across it.

yes but if you find a wallet and you do no know that who is the real owner of wallet and the owner also have no contact with you and you become satisfy that now it become difficult to find the owner of the wallet then you have to distribute it among the needy people but you have no right to use it for your self,

Not all people have the same thinking as yours that they would donate the money that they found to needy people. As you know we are different in any ways we have our own decision, Some would probably use that coins for themselves and dont matter what would others say as long he benefited from that coins.

I think we will not know if the wallet was still used or not by the original user. we do not know is it the owner of the wallet forgotten their password or not. because there is no activity in their wallet does not mean it's not in use right? It is quite clear. stealing things that are not your privilege is illegal

It shouldn't matter if the wallet is in use or not. Because my money hasn't moved in the bank does it mean its not in use? Stealing is stealing.
