My research colleagues and I are analysing cryptocurrency related “wrench attacks” (physical attacks or threats targeted at cryptocurrency owners) for an academic project.

One of our objectives is to understand the dynamics of these attacks and therefore we are interested in interviewing cryptocurrency owners that are familiar or have been exposed to these attacks. Would any of you be interested in being interviewed as part of our research or do you know someone who would like to be interviewed?

Privacy is very important for us so we have taken several steps to ensure the confidentiality of our research participants. One of these measures is to apply pseudonyms to the data that participants provide. Additionally, we do not retain or disclose any identifiable information about any participants.

Our research is focused on both Bitcoin and altcoins and we're interested in understanding the following main topics:
  1. Identifying specific details of a $5 wrench attack (how did attackers find you and/or why did they target you in particular?) and the subsequent actions taken to report an attack (if any).
  2. Physical and digital security practices and habits taken by users to avoid becoming a wrench attack victim.

Please dm me if you are interested so I can provide more information about the interview schedule and additional measures we are taking to ensure confidentiality of our research participants.

Thanks in advance!
