Send him back 20, of course
Nice try Fed…. you are not getting them back
Now you're talking.
Thing is, these scenarios never really happen. Unlike an accidental bank transfer to a sequential bank account, the probability of accidentally stumbling on a public address in which someone else knows the key is so infinitesimally small, it is not going to happen.
It’s more likely to be lost for all time. A gift to all other Bitcoiners.
So true.
Will most likely be lost like all the other bitcoins.

I would most probably return him his BTC only when he apologizes to all Bitcoiners for being so careless that he didn't/couldn't confirm address twice for 10 BTC.
His apology must be written on SN while forwarding all his zaps to me. Also, the apology needs to be approved by all stackers before I return the amount.
Great answer
Accountability for all
Thanks mate!
As soon as I read it, I thought of the best punishment that a person should have for a blinder of ignoring the basics and I came up with that.
haha
this is an epic answer.
And 100% he would do it.
The best answer until now! Like it!
Send it back. What man wants to live off someone else's mistake? Better to be poor than despicable.
Another very good answer!
Nice reply
Send 20 back
Same, and also waiting for 100 BTC then ;)
Let me ask you one question. Did it ever happen? Not 10 but even 1. How dumb that would be of a person! I can't think of such stupidity from someone. However will return all what is his with a stupid inscribed in 1 sat. Hope you understand what inmean.
I believe that honesty is the best policy. But (for 10 BTC), you get the right to ask who made this policy.😉
Very funny!
X100 long it on Bitmex and pass it on the the next guy through my negligence
Immediately go on a boating trip.
Post on SN say sign a message from the public key and I will return your corn
Do I know the person that sent it to me? If I know them I would send it back.
Give back 9.5.
If that happens, I would ask on SN what to do...
Who this? new number 🤣
loose it most likely, then have to go ahead and pay for it on taxes. then get mugged by the dude who sent it to me, for not returning it.
If it’s possible to send it back and the owner has been verified somehow, I’d keep 10million sats and send the rest back. An expensive lesson but I’m sure they’ll still be happy to get back 99% of it
I agree with others. Very unlikely to happen. I could see it being a fat finger mistake with someone that I'm transacting with though.
Regardless, it always amazes me how cheaply people value their own integrity. If possible I'd send it back.
I will never know about it cause I check wallet only after my own transactions
Triple it by gambling!! 🤑
I sent 1 back 😂
Finders keepers. Code is law. Honestly, the coins are in my possession now and I am the true owner according to the only rules that matter (consensus).
Those who have proven incapable of HODL are not entitled to a second chance. What if they burn it next time? Better to let them learn and re-earn the hard way.
I am not more likely to give someone a random payday just because I just had one myself.
Go plead to the FBI and use the violence of the state if you want to steal it from me using fiat laws and customs as justification for your theft.
Otherwise, I'll just assume I earned it as a tip for delivering a pizza in 2012 and the customer just got around to sending it.
"Finders keepers. Code is law. Honestly, the coins are in my possession now and I am the true owner according to the only rules that matter (consensus)."
Yeah, go fuck that sorry ass of your's, what a bunch of crap.
That might be the only reason I would keep *some" of it, but everything else you said was psychopathic and asinine.
I accidentally turned my ASIC miner off for a few hours and missed a block. That miner stole it from me. If they were good natured and honest, they would send me that block reward for my mistake. /s
If we could rely on people being good-natured, we wouldn't need bitcoin.
Furthermore, what is to stop me from claiming every txn I made was a mistake? In fiat world, you can clawback almost any payment if you make a big fuss about it. There's an entire industry of scammers who exploit "good natured" people, because fiat allows them to get away with it.
Hey, however you want to justify your disdain for the average human being...
Its not distain for humans. Its ultimate respect for protocols.
If someone disrespect the protocol, they deserve what the protocol decides is their fate.

You would likely send it "back" to the custodial service from which it came.
And this hypothetical suicidal person would never know, nor ... depending on the custodial service, ever be owed the funds by the service (e.g., as-is Coinbase's policy).
