Damn hell, someone just send me 3892 USD in BTC ! what?

[cuno]

I just checked my wallet and thought, okay, the exchange rate must have gone up,‌ until I realized I had received an extra $3,892 worth of BTC in my wallet.‍ I haven't shared my wallet address with many people and only use it for business,⁠ but I haven't invoiced that amount!

Has anyone else experienced this before?

 

[rss]

My bad, mind sending it back? 😎

 

[JohnLocke]

It's your lucky day I would say. Never happened for me before.

Might be some massive dusting attack, but I highly doubt it (unless someone is trying‌ to launder $10b and doesn't mind wasting a few Ms).

 

[W Fish]

You'll figure it out. The chances that somebody randomly sent you BTC without you giving‌ him the address are smaller than microscopic.

 

[cuno]

I contacted the people I gave the BTC address already, no one has send money‌ so far 😳

 

[brianK]

Still no one told you who send you the coins ?

 

[JohnnyDoe]

You must be joking, right? 😳

 

[daniels27]

Check your Proton that you never gave to anybody.. Maybe, there is a message like‌ this:

You were supposed to assassinate Donald Trump. Why should I pay in full for‍ a job only done 5%. Do your maths, you'll then see why you only got⁠ 3892.

 

[forward]

is it Phantom wallet or Okx / Binance ?

Dude, you’re literally the luckiest person alive. Do you even realize the odds⁤ of someone randomly finding your Bitcoin address? It’s 1 in 2^160 that’s a number so⁣ insanely big it’s basically impossible. And yet, here we are.

Tonight, when you go to⁢ bed, just stare at the universe for a moment and let it sink in: you’ve︀ lived through something truly, ridiculously, astronomically incredible.

This wasn’t just luck this was the kind︁ of mind-bending, once-in-forever event that makes you question reality itself. Odds of , and it︂ happened to you. Out of all the possibilities in existence, the universe just decided, “Yeah,︃ let’s mess with this guy today.”

Enjoy !

So you're using the same‍ UTXO every time you invoice/receive BTC?

Are you using one of the centralized casinos, or⁠ do you self-custody?

 

[JackAlabama]

let us know which wallet you are using. Maybe we are also lucky.

 

[cryptofriendly]

Go with the flow.

You got the payment from me, please pay it back Sir

 

[cuno]

No
No joke, real‍
Ledger wallet

Could it be that someone has got the address on the blockchain page where⁠ you can fee each BTC transaction? maybe a mistake he copy / pasted stupi#21

 

[thomasparra]

Sounds like Jafo 😳

 

[avalanche]

people dont type every︁ letter of the address separately, they copy paste it from somewhere. so probability should be︂ calculated based on the number of active wallets instead of the number of all possible︃ wallets.

 

[intlman]

Was this mystery payment sent to a⁠ previously used UTXO?

 

[Meta]

Curious. Is it possible to post the address? There is a (slight) chance to see‌ at the blockchain and understand what was that then.
