The official BitcoinPaperWallet.com thread -- updates and news.

I have a question about the flag, since on the one hand canton no longer seems to have a relationship with BitcoinPaperWallet, but nevertheless the thread created by him is indexed in the search engine. Maybe you should at least consider creating a level 1 flag?

A Type 1 Flag has this description:

Due to various concrete red flags, I believe that anyone dealing with this user has a high risk of losing money. (This flag will only be shown to guests/newbies.)

As much as I'd like to see said warning above this topic, the Flag itself would be incorrect.
It would probably help much more if Google would stop showing the scam site as #1 when you search for "bitcoin paper wallet".

I am aware of the description of the first level flag, I meant that this flag will not cause any damage to canton within the forum, but will protect guests and newcomers who come to the forum from outside. As for the bitcoinpaperwallet site itself, for prevention purposes, I will probably report this to Google support.

I urge everyone who wants to help keep people away from the BitcoinPaperWallet site review my merge for its Bitcoin Wiki page: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5322560.msg56522876#msg56522876

Scam is still happening, did anyone do something with that person?

I even contacted him via bitpaperwallet@gmail.com:

Hi,

When you create a wallet, you, and only you have control/knowledge of your address and private key.

Keys are generated in your browser locally.

There is a few things I can recommend checking:

1. Do you have an up to date antivirus?
2. Do you have any browser extensions?
3. Are you sure you were using our domain and not a phishing site?
4. We're you using TOR to access the website?
5. Are you sure that you and only you had access to your private key?
6. Did you run the website offline?

I know of a website out there phishing on google called PaperWalletBitcoin.com that steals your private key. I have already reported them to google but no action has been taken. If you inspect element on the page when you generate a key on their website you can see your private key being sent out 5-10 seconds later to their server. Did you by chance click on this website and not the official BitcoinPaperWallet.com?

I hope you can find out what happened to your coins,

Regards,
