Title: Carbon wallet ? Post by: OmegaStarScream on September 25, 2016, 04:07:54 PM Someone asked about it couple of days ago and I think he got scammed but I want to make sure and ask people who already tested this wallet before.
I googled a little bit about it and found some results (with pictures) but they are too old , Github repository didn't change since 2014 and the pictures of the website aren't the same . I don't want to feed them SEO and clicks so I will post unclickable link carbonwallet.com just in case they are a real scam. Title: Re: Carbon wallet ?

https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/introducing-carbon-wallet-1367863785 It have published in around 2013 so showing this wallet is pretty old but haven't tried them so don't know how they works. Also i was unable to find any recent comment / review about this wallet, never heard of them before. Blockchain.info is enough for me as web wallet till now. Title: Re: Carbon wallet ?

I found that article as well but If you look at the picture shown on the article and check how the website actually looks like now , you will see that they don't look the same , which makes me think that the actual carbon wallet went off and someone else bought the domain.

Post by: Patatas on October 01, 2016, 06:20:49 AM Dude,I can assure you the wallet is a scam just by opening the front page of the website.
Scroll down where they compared themselves to coinbase and blockchain.info.No service would ever degrade other reputed services on their front page to promote themselves or even mention their name if they're serious about the business. |
