Hello
My name is Nejc and I am a student of the Faculty of Criminal Justice and Security, University of Maribor, Slovenia. As part of my thesis entitled “The Safety of the Bitcoin Cryptocurrency” I want to gather information on the safety awareness of bitcoin users. Your answers are crucial to the implementation of my study.
The survey is anonymous, it contains 20 questions, and answering them will take you 5 minutes at the most.
Thank you in advance for your kind cooperation.
Link to the survey: FINISHED

Bitcoin addresses contain a checksum, so it is very unlikely that mistyping an address will cause you to lose money.

Hello
My name is Nejc and I am a student of the Faculty of Criminal Justice and Security
Very interesting is it a dual major with criminal justice, and another with security? Or is it two different majors. Best of luck with survey. |

I've done it I hope it helps, Also it's not generally about Bitcoin user's security not the system.
I think you should care about the user's confidence about bitcoin ecosystem. (Technical base of bitcoin).

For now just list all the types of wallets you use under the "other" option. Will we get to see the results? There are many surveys and research things that go on in this forum and not many share the results. Please share the results with us.
Yes, I can upload the excel file when I export the results. Hello

Considering this is about safety, does the option "paper wallet" consider that paper wallets can be encrypted since BIP38 was released? paper wallets are usually underrated because a lot of people dont know this.

I think you would get a better idea of BTC users safety awareness by counting the amount of people that actually went to some unknown site posted by a noob account....

I found one or two quetions somewhat unclear. How would you define "using the ecosystem"?, doing transactions?
I am not really concerned about security*, I have very few coins (cents/satoshis of them) to be afraid of that. I do not either care that much about anonymity, what attracts me of BTC is its low fees.
* I mean, besides the very basics... I use Coinbase, my password there is different to that in other sites, I use two factor authentication, login only from my home, access directly to their site and always check the URL, scan my PC for malware at least once a week, Firefox history disabled, etc.
Bitcoin ecosystem = anything that has to do with Bitcoin. Investing in a company that has to do with Bitcoin is in a way using the ecosystem. The most direct way are transactions through the blockchain, paying and accepting payments. Even if you have few coins you should take good measures to keep em safe. You never know how valuable it would be in 10 years. |

This questionarre is not about bitcoin&blockchain's security. It's about user's security. For example "How are you keeping your private keys safe" etc. |

I am happy to answer to another survey (as apparently we have at least one new survey daily). But I will stop doing that because it can bite me in the ass in the future because clicking links from newbies
(or unknown links in general) are good way to lose your coins to the trojan or some other malware attacking bitcoin wallets.
