Hello,

I just opened some wallet i not used for a month now.
Here is the strange story now:
I got 0.5 btc on the date of may 5 this year.
But i have no clue from who and even why because i know 100% all my transactions and i would 100% not forget a such large amount.
Now belive it or not but it's not my money and i would like to return it to the sender but the wallet he used to send it from seems like some exchanger to me.

Anyway i can find the original sender?

haha appaluces to your friends, is rarely a good guy now. I think it's hard to find the original sender, but maybe you can post your addreas here or tx of the transaction. perhaps there are some who claim, but it sustenance for you. hehe

If I sent a transaction by mistake I would try to find the receiver as possible as I can specially when the tx is not small like here. so If no one contacts you for 30 days. I believe that the sender does not care for his money because he can find you with google now and he can send a small tx with a note on the blockchain to send you a msg

It was not my plan to launch a wave here.
All i did try to archive is to find the real owner and refund him his bitcoins!
And whoever tell me i did this to gain trust it's false i not except anything for this it's just not my money so i try to refund it.
Now i could keep it yes but i would be happy if i would get a refund if i did send it by accident and i think anyone else would be happy as well!

And to all the haters or the people who call this "a way to gain trust". you can quote this message i will donate it to a charity in after 30 days from now on.

And i will post the txid and all proofs i did donate it!

It is highly appreciable for you to be honest enough to come up and announce honestly that you will return the money of someone else.
You are a kind soul. My idea is that you wait for the right person to come up and claim here with all details or give his signed message. Good luck and all the best. I hope there are others like you.

you can get free btc from btc faucet, like freebitco.in

Hello there! Are you sure you read the main post? I think you're not, it seems that you have a false response to OP. He's not asking for sites that are giving free bitcoin. Just letting you know, so that you will be careful on posting next time.

You are amazing, if you don't find the righteous owner, please take it as a gift.
AND DON'T POST THE ADDRESS!!!!
DON'T POST THE ADDRESS I REPEAT!!!!!
The owner will tell you the exact date and time for such a big amount.
So, you can find the owner without being scammed.

If he didn't post the address, the odds of the real owner stubling upon this thread would be close to zero, also if he didn't post the address, everybody who sent ~0.5BTC to the wrong address during the last 6 months would start to PM the OP. If the real owner can sign a message with 12CGV1ScsKFkGKr2y5MAZfiwfr1wV1Kc6H i think the OP can be allmost completely sure that he/she is the real owner.

He mentioned May 5.
Not everyone is rich enough to send .5btc on that day
And rich people wont bother coming here to get someone else btc

Can you change "send" in the title to "sent"? I was expecting a different story Cheesy

The only thing I can think of, is that someone accidentally copy/pasted your address somewhere, and sent the money there instead of to his/her own address. For this reason I always empty my copy/paste-history by selecting something random after copying an address. I can recommend doing this, it prevents possible expensive mistakes.
If it's an exchange you may be able to contact them and ask if they can help you trace the owner. It's not a request they get every day so they may be willing to help you.

If no one claims can you make a game and give it to the winner.
0.5 btc is a lot of money for me.. and i am saving just to reach that amount .

Honestly of course i would not say no to keep it!
But i would be called a scammer maybe for this?
And the fact that the money is not mine makes me a bad feeling to keep it just like this hence i made this public

I think as long as you did a reasonable effort in trying to find the original owner, nobody will call you a scammer.
You could always just leave this thread online, maybe open a similar thread on reddit, and afterwards keep the BTC. In case somebody ever comes foreward and is able to conclusivly prove they're the real owner, you can still send them 0.5BTC from your own wallet as a refund.

I agree. If you really received this amount by mistake and do such effort in finding the owner here in the forum, no need to worry. Two thumbs up for your kindness. I know bitcoin users were aware that bitcoin transactions are irreversible, but I still do hope that the person who sent it still find ways, so that he will know that he can get his money back as long as he has proof.

Stop lying and sign a message from the same wallet or the wallet where you moved your coins containing 0.50 Bitcoins.Signed message or it never happened.I see this as a shady way for earning trust around the forum.

And trust for what?!
Why in the world anyone should trust someone for this?
This is nothing about trust but about being honest!
I would even post this for 1$.

I would probably say keep it too useless someone who can prove it was them replies to this thread within say 1 month.

Looking at the transaction its almost impossible to know who sent it, unless u send a small transaction back to those sending addresses with a note attched explaining what happened but then you would be flooded with people saying its them without proof.

You could always give it to a charity, Ross had a shit day today in court today and throughout his whole trial so i would give it to the freeross.org appeal.

Honestly of course i would not say no to keep it!

If you are sending bitcoins to someone then unless it's a charity or gambling site the receiver will always be expecting thise coins, if the coins are not received then they will be asking the sender for the tx to find out what happened.
If it is discovered that the bitcoins were sent to the wrong address the the original sender would most likely send a small follow up transaction with a note asking for return of his misplaced coins.
