Title: is "bitwallet" real?
Post by: viewvm on December 02, 2020, 08:40:20 AM
can you check if the wallet is legit or have you heard about it? wallet website is: bitwallet.at
it looks like real but no any contact info on the site (no any social media account)

No, it's a scam. Rule of thumb: if it asks for your backup seed on the spot, then it's probably a scam.

They are also using Bitcoin.org's design.

This website and "wallet" looks ridiculously suspicious. The logo on the website is not even sized properly for responsiveness and the format of the website screams a scam. Do not download this wallet.

If you are starting out with bitcoin the wallets I recommend for beginners is Exodus or Electrum.
You can check them out both below:

https://www.exodus.io

I wonder.. how do people find those shitty scam wallets all the time?

Just check some reputable sources for wallets, you will always be presented with the same X reputable wallets.
How does one find such a horrible one?

Also, don't use any web wallets. Use a software- or hardware wallet.

It's probably a rhetorical question... but they don't "find" them. They shill their scam links here hoping for some google site rank points or whatever the fuck it's called these days.

Funnily enough though, though I'm definitely not saying that OP made this topic for nefarious reasons, a lot of the scam advertisers don't even URL tags hence it wouldn't even count as a backlink.

Is there anything that suggests that the wallet is real? Everything is fraudulent from domain, name, design and being anonymous wallet.
Wallets are the only key to control your private keys, so be sure to have good programming and reliable sources instead of looking for new wallets.

Why does the wallet need contact information? They are not a company.
