A month has gone by, I think you did not find the person. Keep it. You might also keep your words and conduct the giveaway you said you would commence. After all, many users doubted this was an attempt to gain trust ratings. I doubt if someone really lost .5BTC since any sane person would hunt wildly to get back the said amount. Anyways, good luck

If something got accidentally, sure it has got the access to send it back to the right address. But upon one's eagerness to send it back he can find the right bitcoin address, else once again it reaches someone unknown.

As per my acknowledgement anyone can see from where flow comes but its impossible to trace identity. So its so simple to revert back same amount to sender address.

I think there is no other option to know more about that particular transaction within block.

if you the person. then you should try to return it to him. and if you do not know the person then try to find him through this topic. and if even then you did not find the person then give the amount to a poor needy person.
It's very hard task to find who is the real owner of that btc that he received because bitcoin is known for being anonymous so it will be hard to track down the real owner because many members in this forum will act like the real owner.
Giving that accidentally received btc to a poor person is not a good idea because just like finding real owner, many members also will beg for that and manipulate that they are very poor and really need bitcoin but the real thing is they have many bitcoin and they want some more.
So it's better if he keep and save that accident btc that he received so someday he will earn great amount of money.

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?

I remember a story of a guy who was wearing a shirt with his BTC QR code on some party and came home and someone gave him $30000 worth of BTC.
Just like you being honest about giving it back if it was mistaken, there are also some generous people who like to give it away.  Smiley

It's hard to find the original owner. Buy yourself something nice...  Grin

Just send it back to the address from which you got it.

I'm not sure if i agree with this... Chances are:
  • the original owner no longer has the private key (this can happen). You would just burn the coins then
  • the address belongs to a mixing service. You would either give a donation to a bitcoin mixer or (in case they recycle deposit addresses) you would give a donation to the person that is now using this deposit address
  • the address belongs to an exchange. You would just give them a  donation
  • the address belongs to a different service, like a gambling service, a monthly subscription,... You would basically give them a donation
  • the address belongs to a criminal. In that case you'd just be refunding stolen money... Rather give it to a charity in that case
  • there was no mixup, somebody actually tried to pay the OP for something (a very, very, very big tip for example)

All addresses and tx id's have been staked on bitcointalk. It should be indexed on google within days... If i were the OP, I'd just transfer the coins to my own address and in case somebody steps foreward and proves he owns the original input address (with a signed message) and has a reasonable explanation of what went wrong, i'd refund him or her 0.5BTC from my own address.

You are lucky. Even when the halving is getting closer you've got a good amount which describes how lucky you were  and if you need to be good, then cross check and make sure its not yours. Just send it back to the address from which you got it.

if you are sure that it is not your money and some one has sent it to you accidentally then it is your duty to return this money. Hope that you will get a very positive result of this kindness. but you must be careful while sending him his money back. you may not sent his money to some other person accidentally.

0.5 btc is a lot of money for me.. and i am saving just to reach that amount .
Lol its impossible to give it for a game.. maybe the owner is there.. just wait for a days but many impostors there just be careful to choose people who is real.

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

Did you even read any of the posts in the thread or you are just posting for the Yobit in your sig Undecided

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!
But i would be called a scammer maybe for this?

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.

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.

Grin 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

Thanks to decency of adreld you can still get them back.

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

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.

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 Smiley.

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