Title: BitcoinGold is a Scam!?! Carefull with Your Bitcoin Private Keys!!!
Post by: Chandu141 on October 21, 2017, 06:32:39 AM
hello friends,

The BCG scam site https://claimbitcoin.gold/

people are still not understanding about BCC and yet another BCG is trying to scam people's BTC..

i am just sharing my perceptions and raising doubts...

As per my knowledge BCC (Bitcoin Cash) is worth trusting to claim the free coins and sell them for a quick buck but what about the BCG (Bitcoin Gold) ?

There is no electrum wallet for BCG and the website asking people to enter thevBTC private keys directly onto their website to open an account or wallet of BCG  ???

well i tried to enter my BTC private keys (encrypted) but guess what i only see one error message as shown below ..

https://i.imgur.com/rdB8KpA.png

so friends, after entering all my BTC privatekeys , i see only one message as shown above..

if anyone tried and claimed BCG ???? not sure.. if not don't even think about it because i feel that this site is trying to collect everyone's BCG  :P

Dude, the above image states that your private key you have given to add it not valid only bro. In which aspects it symbolize bitcoin gold is a scam according to your point. Still I hold some bitcoin in online and electrum wallets but I don't get the reward for BTG.

There is no official Electrum wallet for any altcoin. The ones that exist for Bitcoin Cash and Litecoin are forks by other developers who aren't associated with the Electrum project.

You should never enter your private keys into a website like this. What web domain did this come from? This looks like a phishing site intent upon stealing your private keys. I don't even think official code or wallet software is published yet. Official news should come from btcgpu.org or https://twitter.com/bitcoingold -- anything else is probably scammers.

I don't see anything like the screenshot you posted on their official website's cache. At this moment, the site is down, and their Twitter is reporting a DDOS attack: https://twitter.com/bitcoingold/status/921624600907091970

What made you think about bitcoin cash and gold as the scam coins? I don't beleive there is a website that offers you to create wallet for bitcoin gold earlier even before its existance.
You have to wait until fork is applied, thereafter major wallets will start supporting bitcoin gold and you will be freely able to store or exchange these coins.
For me, BCH was a legit coin with highest demand of trade potential. No need to spill out bad words about it.

no hard ford how to get bitcoin gold on the market everything is speculated by everyone. We should wait for harddisk to determine where it can provide the wallet for bitcoin gold or whichever supports bitcoin gold reception and so far there are some supported bitcoin gold platforms such as yoibit But you have to pass 25-10 and you can trade bitcoin gold

You'd better move your Bitcoin to another wallet before they are steal your bitcoin. I see it's a phishing site and they can steal all the data you entered into the site. Once you put a private key there, then be prepared to lose your money.
Hardfork is still not happening and will not happen until 25 October, just hold your bitcoin and wait for the time for BTG to appear.

I am tired of these scamsters. I remember a thread here a few months back, which was posted by an user who lost 45 BTC. He used electron cash.net instead of electron cash.com and all of his coins were stolen by the scammers. I don't know whether I should claim BTG or not. Are there any reliable wallets out there where we can claim BTG?

What is this.Hardfork has not happened yet and you are shouting that it is a scam by entering into a fake website. It is your mistake to give your private key to a fake website.

Post by: miyaka26 on October 21, 2017, 08:11:19 AM
The fork has not been done yet so basically if there is a wallet that supports BTG now, that is empty for now it is for sure, that's a fake and scam site waiting for people to enter their private key to stole their bitcoins, better move your btc to another wallet for its security purposes even though you encrypt your private key the hackers can easily decrypt and get your bitcoins.

I really don't understand what Op is trying to achieve, you want to claim a BCG that the fork is yet to make available? What you should have drawn people attention to is the scam website that claim you can claim your BCG when there is no official release to that. Even Yobit that has come to declare their interest in crediting their customers, you have to wait for nothing less than 70 hours from the time they sent the message. If you are not sure of any site, Yobit has been around for a while, although not suggested to move you coins to an exchange site but its still better than compromising you entire private key. Just send funds there and wait for when its going to be credited.

Beware! Never send or paste your private key to NO ONE! That is a phishing site! Bitcoin Golds will be active from 25th of October and you will see the coins if you own the private key of the wallet (not from exchange with single specific exceptions). Even if your current wallet doesn't support BitCoin Gold, having the private key you can always load it in the correct one in the future.

There is nothing wrong to be careful.i think we should see how to the claim bitcoingold,if i prefer to save my bitcoin in one exchange that they can automatic claim bitcoingold. it further reduces the risk of the private key that we enter to claim btcgold.I've often lost eth because of entering private key in the phishing website.

This site does not look safe, looks like a simply scan site plus you never put your private key in anywhere. I don't think BTC Gold would ask our private key in order to receive their coin. The fork will happen only 25th october and if you have any bitcoin amount in the exchanges, they will let you know when and how much you will receive of BTG, don't be scammed.

exactly .. i tried their website which is posted on BCG twitter account everything is just useless but a scam. BCG is total waste in my opinion, and BCH is way better.

yup i am being careful already , tested their website for public and now warning everyone. i din't lost ant of my coins but there is no BCG claim working even though their website saying people can claim.. i think they are stealing the BCG  ;D

Dont know what this site is, but BCG is not a scam, LOL. Its an unnecessary shitshow, but definitely not a scam ;D

It seems like you simply entered in the key wrong, if this interface you are using is legitimate and not a phishing attempt. Make sure the address is formatted correctly; make sure you copied and pasted the right address/copied the whole thing. If this isnt legit, then wake up dammit.

Never import private keys to anything other than a wallet; always remember that whoever controls your keys also owns your coins. If you dont mind having your coins hosted, just leave them be on an exchange that will support both sides of the fork. You dont quite have the "spidey sense" about you yet (that interface asking for my priv keys would be a non starter).

You will lose your bitcoins because you don't seem to be a very bright individual, as you have demonstrated by entering your private keys in some website.

I don't care from where that website is coming from. Even if it comes from the BGold twitter, and assuming BGold team is legit, their twitter could have been compromised to post a phishing website.

When it comes to claiming keys in forked chains, downloading the full node client is the only "safe" way to do it, assuming all forksoftware could potentially be a scam.

Im not touching BGold until the main node software has been audited, then I will just dump it, if the price is high enough, if not, I will not even bother.

just trying to make awareness about the BCG scam .... i took precautions .. i encrypted before entering my private keys on that website which i  got from BCG twitter account.. hope people be cautious from this shitty BCG scam..

and yes, we all together in dumping the forks.. we dumped BCH and will dump BCG and any future coin that is forked in future,,.... Long live BTC and BCT  :)

you know, creating a website very easy. i can create one right now called "claimbitcoingold-verylegit.com" right now.

will you enter your private keys there also?

the bitcoin gold "website" is called btcgpu.org and i can not see any section there that is for you to "enter your private key".

a dozen other impostors exist out there though!

hardfork at 25th october, so dont entered your private key before bitcoin hardfork. maybe some one can use your wallet after you put keys. if you have balance, move to other wallet, if you want btcgold, you can go to market whos accepted btcgold

Post by: PhucS on October 21, 2017, 04:13:59 PM
I think you need to be more careful. You should transfer all Bitcoin to a completely new wallet to avoid being unluckily stolen. Hardfork has not yet come to light, there is still no clear information about getting Bitcoin Gold for free, which is obviously a scam to steal Bitcoin Gold, and they can even take over Bitcoin of you. This is not the official website of Bitcoin Gold, you should only hear the information from their official website. Before the hardfork occur, keep the private key and the security information associated with your Bitcoin wallet

You should transfer your BTC private keys before it's too late. This is not a legit one mate. I made a research about that site. I found that this is based on US but the real location is hidden. https://www.scamadviser.com/is-claimbitcoin.gold-a-fake-site.html

https://i.imgur.com/JQ4ad1i.png

Be careful with your private keys. Don't believe on everything you see in the internet. Read very carefully the do's and dont's when receiving BTG. The site is obviously a scam. Just only use an exchange that supports the fork

Hello. What a price of BTG will be at Bittrex?

I don't they are going to accept Bitcoin gold.

Quote
Bittrex noted that Bitcoin Gold does not meet the necessary requirements to be listed on its exchange. They also pointed out that taking a snapshot of user balances is extremely disruptive and they will have to suspend all deposits and withdrawals 24 hours before the snapshot is taken.

It is better to read first before you speak. Bitcoin gold is a free coins you can receive when you hold a BTC. it will automatically receive you once the hard fork is complete. You should still be happy because you will have free money here. And yet you do not need to have private keys in your wallet to receive your BTG. All you need to do is to hold in the supporting wallet and wait after the hard forkdond.

It was a trick, a clever plan to make you buying Bitcoin and pumping Bitcoin price, we were $6100 last night, we're $5700 today. if you want to start a new coin based on BTC with GPU mining, investing millions, why would you give 16.5M to people for free? keep your Bitcoins in your wallets, never enter private key to claim anything, if BTG is a legit fork, wallets will add an option for claiming it like Bitcoin cash and blockchain.info.

I guess i am thankful for this user who made effort to claim this sites as scam. Because their are really many sites promoting btcgold for free but it is not yet activated. People should avoid certain new sites when visiting and rather read at least some vouchers if it is legit or not. Because it is not really easy to be scammed when hoping for some money.

I believe the have cloudflare.. I’m not sure but I assume it protects against ddos, and heavy traffic... right?
Wrong, there is no such a thing as protecting against DDOS, if 2 million people try to visit a website all at once, it would be considered as DDOS attack.
Claimbitcoin.gold
Claimbitcoingold.com
Claimbtg.net
All websites like that are phishing for private keys.

I also suspect the site, I always see the development of this thread
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2284289.0
At least I know where the wallet supports BTG later on and I only recommend it for better security to keep it on a trading site that will give BTG free of the number of BTCs on the trading site's account

Yes bitcoingild is not a scam but they will dump it after receiving it or will not care if the price is not worth much as per someone's post from this thread.  ;D

Also can confirm that "secure DOT claimbitcoin DOT gold"  is a scame site that asks for BTC  PRIVATE key, which you should never ever give out for any reason ever.

It is linked to via this twitter account @btcgpu

Here is a screenshot of them asking for PRIVATE key.

There are two potential problems with this:
1. If you did not move your bitcoins from original address, you effectively gave them the key to your funds. They could swipe them into any wallet and goodbye.
2. If you have moved you bitcoins to different address, they can still take you btg since you have to trust them with the private key. Not really sure this is a smart move. Especially since they're promising free 100 btg
Br extra careful. I would avoid this site.

hello friends,

The BCG scam site https://claimbitcoin.gold/

people are still not understanding about BCC and yet another BCG is trying to scam people's BTC..
i am just sharing my perceptions and raising doubts...
As per my knowledge BCC (Bitcoin Cash) is worth trusting to claim the free coins and sell them for a quick buck but what about the BCG (Bitcoin Gold) ?
There is no electrum wallet for BCG and the website asking people to enter thevBTC private keys directly onto their website to open an account or wallet of BCG  ???
well i tried to enter my BTC private keys (encrypted) but guess what i only see one error message as shown below ..
so friends, after entering all my BTC privatekeys , i see only one message as shown above..
if anyone tried and claimed BCG ???? not sure.. if not don't even think about it because i feel that this site is trying to collect everyone's BCG  :P

are you lost your mind, it's very dangerous if you insert your private key into any unknown website. The hard fork is schedule to accur at 25 october, it's still countdown. Why are you in such a hurry to get your bitcoin gold. I suggest you to immediately move your bitcoin to another wallet, before something that you don't want could happen.

I think that its a huge risk to enter your private keys in any of the websites.I'm really surprised to see that people's aim to claim some free coins had made them to even enter their their private keys in some websites.

Op,immediately transfer your bitcoins in to another new wallet.

I could even now remember the incident when a guy lost almost his 45 BTC when trying to claim free BCC coins.He just downloaded wallet from a fake website electroncash.com which was previously named as electrumcash.com instead of downloading wallet from the electrum's official website Electrum.org.

Now,i think that very soon we may hear such familiar stories now in the case of claiming free BTG coins.

Better stay away and be secure.

Thank you for sharing the scam website. Firstly, this scam website does not mean Bitcoin Gold is a scam coin.

Did you lost your Bitcoin since you reveal all your private keys to the scammers? I hope you didn’t. Please send all your Bitcoin to a safe wallet soon. Stay safe always.

You'd better move your Bitcoin to another wallet before they are steal your bitcoin. I see it's a phishing site and they can steal all the data you enter into the site. Once you enter a private key there, then be prepared to lose your money.
Hardfork is still not happening and will not happen until 25 October, just hold your bitcoin and wait for the time for BTG to appear.

I am tired of these scamsters. I remember a thread here a few months back, which was posted by an user who lost 45 BTC. He used electron cash.net instead of electron cash.com and all of his coins were stolen by the scammers. I don't know whether I should claim BTG or not. Are there any reliable wallets out there where we can claim BTG?

I don't suggest you to claim BTG, but I hold my BTC in the wallet of an exchanger (until now) that will distribute BTG to users.

yup i am being careful already , tested their website for public and now warning everyone. i din't lost ant of my coins but there is no BCG claim working even though their website saying people can claim.. i think they are stealing the BCG  ;D

They will not only steal BCG, but all the data we put into that website, haha :D

this is your own mistake and you blame others for your stupidity, because the Bitcoin Gold doesn’t spread it, it is clear that they told us to save our money in the wallet but then because of your curiosity it eventually led you to the scam website. But with you spreading the news here, hopefully nobody else won’t follow your curiousity and hopefully the scammer will get bad luck.

if you see the website it may looks legit but the Bitcoin Gold has never released anything regarding to this site, so we should be more careful especially about our private keys, this is our money and we have to find out the risk we will face. and thank you for sharing this, maybe more people will be deceived if you didn’t post it here.

you know, creating a website very easy. i can create one right now called "claimbitcoingold-verylegit.com" right now.

will you enter your private keys there also?

the bitcoin gold "website" is called btcgpu.org and i can not see any section there that is for you to "enter your private key".

a dozen other impostors exist out there though!
but I have to admit it, that scam website looks legit enough and like a pro, it will make clueless people be trapped, fortunately there are people like the OP who like to do a little experiment and happy to share

yes, really nice website , in fact better than the original official bitcoingold website and i am sure many might fall for this trap so i tried with all precautions and sharing the scam report on these bitcoin gold scams. hope it helped some of our BCT folks.

I agree, we must be more cautious on all sites telling that we can claim free BitcoinGold. Also never trust sites that want to get your private keys. We need to research more details before trusting them.

You will lose your bitcoins because you don't seem to be a very bright individual, as you have demonstrated by entering your private keys in some website.

I don't care from where that website is coming from. Even if it comes from the BGold twitter, and assuming BGold team is legit, their twitter could have been compromised to post a phishing website.

When it comes to claiming keys in forked chains, downloading the full node client is the only "safe" way to do it, assuming all forksoftware could potentially be a scam.

Im not touching BGold until the main node software has been audited, then I will just dump it, if the price is high enough, if not, I will not even bother.

I must agree with you. If you know enough to know what your private key is then give it away then you are a moron and it's your own fault. Maybe he also gves strangers the keys to his car to "hold"

Noone can get btcgold untill the 1st November as far as I can tell. Not those who had BTC on supported exchanges have some.

I concluded that the scam is only a wallet made by irresponsible people, but for Bitcoin Gold it will be a coin that will develop in the future, I'm sure Bitcoin Gold will be like Bitcoin Cash but it will be better development

Bitcoin gold itself is not a scam but many would try to use this situation and big desire of every bitcoin user to get free money so they will try to scam naive users. So be very careful which web sites and wallets you are using and what information you trust.
In situation like this when once and a while new "promising" coin appears scamers just can't wait to take their share. The more bitcoin related coins, the biger confusion on the market and biger chances to lose money if you are not careful enough.

That's why you need to transfer the coins first to another address/wallet before trying to claim it in order to avoid loss of funds. There wouldn't be any problem at all if you're able to do the recommeneded steps on claiming your Bitcoin Gold, and if you're familiar with the steps on claiming BCH then it's essentially the same thing. Also, you said it: there aren't any official wallets yet for the forked coin so why would someone in their right mind try to claim their share of the fork knowing that no official support is out yet?

thank you for the information, but you should find and then move your coin to another wallet before the contents of your wallet is lost, because I can see that there is phishing that could endanger your account. do not let you enter your private key to the application.
I suggest that you be more careful and keep it, also secure the contents of your wallet until BTG it appears.

I would be more wary of this from third party scam artist. the whole concept of bcg or whatever the ticker is feels scammly in itself, but i digress. the legit site has little incentive to pull this; this would be the one way to completely undermine the trust on something that barely has real legs to begin with (before you argue, observe the price, and stop yourself). there will be a grip of people that take advantage of the fact that folks will be entering keys trying to get these coins; be careful community, always be diligent about where you expose the plaintext of your private key. you cant come back from a mistake ;)

bitcoin gold is a new phase but that doesn't make bitcoin itself invalid, it has been noted and acknowledged by the bitcoin and blockchain framework. so i can say that the bitcoingold is no scam.

Is it a scam? There is no well to tell until it is too late if you give out those keys.  It is up to you if you want to trust a dev group of strangers with your money. If a total stranger approached you in your bank and said that the bank was moving(say that it is moving) and that they are collecting the deposits for the day to run to the new location, you would never give them your money, but I guarantee that people will here and then be amazed of something happens.
