PSA: Watch Out for Scam Wallets + BTC, BCH, BTG Markets Overview with A Comment.

in bitcoin •  7 years ago 

Im sure Google will fix this soon but currently, someone is spreading malware through Adwords.

Electrum is IMO the best desktop wallet out there, its light, simple and gives you full control of keys (so you can redeem Bitcoin Cash and others easily).

With recent Bitcoin forks and Segwit Updated to Electrum many people seek for it, so do not be fooled, only https://electrum.org/#home is the right spot to download.

Electroneum is fork of Electrum for Bitcoin Cash - https://electroneum.com/

Remember to always verify checksums (if possible) of downloads and verify sources and urls. Loads of hackers are waiting to steal your coins.

Bitcoin Gold Fake Wallets

Almost no one knows how to redeem BTG right now (due to faulty code and stuff) so greedy people get on fake wallets/redeem services. Do not be one of them. Better to not sell on pump than lose all coins you have.

Bitcoin Markets


From those i personally use BitFinex, Bitstamp and HitBTC everyday.

Bitcoin Cash Markets


KRW exchanges are really loving this coin. Most of them have no trade fees - keep that in mind.

Bitcoin Gold Markets


Notice price differences HitBTC is the only exchange that allows deposits and withdrawals of BTG. Binance runs top price but you have BTG only if you had BTC there on time of fork. Same with BitFinex. So sometimes it is worth to have coins on exchanges during split chains.

Thanks for this, I really appreciate this because these scammers out there never get tired of trying reaping where they didn't sow...
I'll be ever careful

Thanks for the heads up! I wasn’t aware about that desktop wallet, I’m definitely going to have to get it!

Thanks for looking out for everyone. As crypto currency grows, the amount of scams will continue to grow

Thanks

Excellent tips, especially this one:

"Remember to always verify checksums (if possible) of downloads and verify sources and urls."

I wasn't too interested in Bitcoin gold, i'll take a look once my wallet enables it I guess.

Steem On :)

Yeah, true; be careful of spams.
Though first move all your Bitcoins to a new address before playing with any new Forked coin/dividend if you don't have a HW. There should be some strict rules that we need to follow for safeguarding our main investment (Bitcoins) else we could get into some trap for peanuts.
Ledger Nano and Trezor just released their Bitcoin Gold claiming tool within their hardware wallets. This is the safest way to claim crypto dividends if you are OK loosing some over-hyped/spiked price when it is usually released.
Always have focus on the main investment than the crypto dividends.
Be careful community and invest safely. Let's make a better crypto space.
Thanks to @kingscrown for making the community aware. Cheers!!!

Lovely review! My wallet find something of value, but that's scam wallet speaking, not yours stomach is.

you guys should check out https://www.binance.com/?ref=10923198 for free coin bountys and cheap fees.

I have been a victim, everyone should be careful.

Super knowledge sir thanks.

Heyyyy I just recently got involved with BitConnect and its really allowing me to go out, party, and live how I want to - I am giving back full ref-back + 1% as greeting bonus, so you can receive not 5%, but 6% of your investment

Sponsor name: monerolisk

If you already created an account without sponsor, you can choose us as your upliner. Go to "Management Tools" > "Profile" > "Edit Sponsor" and type in : monerolisk

Example:
If you lend: $100 get $6
If you lend: $1,000 get $60
If you lend: $10,000 get $600
If you lend: $100,000 get $6,000

I did ten thousand on Nov 4 and Ive got about $4K back in interest already for doing nothing....and then after 120 days they will give me the original $10,000 back----taking advantage of the rise of cryptocurrency :)

I am also following you now :)

I keep all the coins on the stock exchange, I do not give a damn about anything, hackers if they want and cold wallets will devastate, especially our hackers from Russia, they also influenced the American elections, this sarcasm do not take it seriously))

nice post and i know it

Thank you for the insight on this.

please upvote, comment, and follow me

People always trying to ruin a good thing for the dirty money.

excellent post

Yes there is no easy way to claim your BTG if you had an electrum wallet at the time of its fork. Coinomi has a different BIP from electrum so you cannot claim BTG from there. Unless you run a full node, which is several hundred GBs of HD space.

Goodness. I'm glad I never got started in Adwords then. I use AdSense and it seems to be safe. As for Bitcoins, I wish I had the insight back in 2009. Now it's probably too late for me.

No it is not too late. Go to coinbase and deposit $10.00 or $20.00 at a time then purchase bitcoin. You will be surprised how fast it can build if you buy a little each month. Bitcoin and the others have a very long bright future ahead.

Thank you this was very helpful

Electroneum has nothing to do with Bitcoin or Electrum, it's fork of Monero.

@kingscrown
I really like your posts but you are wrong with one thing. https://electroneum.com/ is a different cryptocurrency. It have nothing to do with BTC or any fork of BTC. Its new alt created about month ago. It was made to mine on mobile phones.
