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 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.

At first, I really appreciate your honesty. Your wish to give back those bits should be congratulated.

This way, the orignal owner might be able to find this thread when he punches in his address Wink I already used the searchfunction and did a quick google search, couldn't find anybody claiming the coins... https://www.walletexplorer.com/wallet/000001e522b362b7/addresses shows this address being part of a very active (and big) wallet... maybe somebody will know whose wallet this is.

I think that 0.5 BTC came from a HYIP or Betting (Gambling) site's owner. We should try to keep this topic active, then maybe that adress's owner will contact tou you.

lucky you.
Its very admirable the you want to give those bits back but there is a thing:
its not like you found this laying on the street, nobody lost those BTC by accident,
some foolish user just sent you those coins, series of sane decisions where made
for that transaction, many confirmations etc. If somebody transferring money with a blindfold, on random than he is not worthy of having them.
You should keep them IMO.

lets make it google friendly

12CGV1ScsKFkGKr2y5MAZfiwfr1wV1Kc6H to owner of this address, your coins are here.
Thanks to decency of adreld you can still get them back.

12CGV1ScsKFkGKr2y5MAZfiwfr1wV1Kc6H I lost my bitcoins.

12CGV1ScsKFkGKr2y5MAZfiwfr1wV1Kc6H bad transaction.

12CGV1ScsKFkGKr2y5MAZfiwfr1wV1Kc6H wrong dress, what to do?

18SS5BMvK4dpRGVEAtCLAUix2kvd7aeSx7 mistake send bitcoins help

What is very strange is the fact he have a lot transactions in the same ammount range .5 - .51 or .55

However it's not my money and i would be happy myself if i got this back.
Ok if it's now 5 bucks i would say he will not die for this but hey it's still some cash!
And it's not my money as i said i can not keep this

Sure here is the txid in question :

https://blockchain.info/tx/699c2aeafd4efae43a91b9955c87178bd1cb08fb70c3e8b616ac4978e25e8c0f

Please note i moved them now to another wallet because the one i found the coins where on my ipad and i am about to format it.

If the original sender can proof the ownership i refund it!

If no one claims it for 30 days, i will donate it to some charity (i will proof i really did donate it)

Again it's not my money and i see no reason to keep it!

Quoted, and in order to help the original owner find this thread:
the inputs from the transaction came from 12CGV1ScsKFkGKr2y5MAZfiwfr1wV1Kc6H the outputs of the transaction went to 18SS5BMvK4dpRGVEAtCLAUix2kvd7aeSx7 and 19nhJiDsovs3CfQ4F4Dj6u5m9CPHYUQK3B

The sending address already has 277 transactions, and it has received over 100BTC, so the original owner might not even know he misplaced this 0.5BTC

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?

Maybe you can post the tx id here, that way we can have a look.
It might not be a good idear to just refund the coins to the sending address, since, like you said: it might be an exchange or a mixing service and not the original owner.

In any case: if you post the tx id here, together with the input addresses and the output address and publicly state you'll refund the coins in case somebody can proof he's the original owner (preferably by posting a message signed with one of the input addresses), you did you civil duty

.

I always find it heartwarming if somebody is doing the right thing!
