Sorry man there are many users scammed by this wallet already, and there's many negative review about this site months or even year/s ago, did you use this wallet? Then how much. Those coins will be lost forever. Me too scam for 0.15btc Sorry for your lost mate, but there's no way you can get your coins back.

Thank God I came to this thread. I was going to be up for this wallet as I wanted to save up my coins somewhere which I will not use for long. The torr was on my list for this. This forum is such important for me now days. Thanks for sharing your thoughts about it and also creating this thread which caught my eyes very quickly. I would have lost so much money. I hope not to see this wallet again even if anyone tells me positive things about it.

Tor wallet was already suspected to be scam and finally they ran away with all bitcoins users have in their wallets. We should never trust this types of online wallets, electrum like desktop/mobile clients are best to use daily or hardware wallet to store bitcoin safely.

Tor wallet was in the hidden internet where the majority of all things there are scam or illegal. Why you got there in the first place ? Maybe you thought to hide or to be safe from any third party tracking you ? There are desktop wallets like Electrum which you can manage directly from your OS and not be prone to scams like Tor wallet.

I just plan to use their free mixer before but i saw a lots of negative feedback about tor wallet so i think if you deposit your bitcoin in tor wallet expect that you will never get back your wallet.. You can't also trace them because they are in tor network.. Becareful next time if you want to save your bitcoin safety better to use a well known bitcoin wallet than choosing tor wallet..

I'm glad that even I read about TOR wallet (being an Anonymous Bitcoin Wallet) here and there before in the forum, it doesn't caught my attention. There were scam reports posted last 2016 about it (on reddit, here and other sites), unfortunately it seems that you haven't read the news.

I have also heard about them before but avoided them because OP was involved with scams in past. We should always check about the owner of the service before trusting them with our bitcoins. I am using only electrum right now and not willing to use any other online wallets to store my bitcoins.

Yeah nothing beats a desktop wallet with all the private keys and seeds backed up and encrypted. But if you really need to be anonymous and want to use a web wallet, you can use TOR on the trustworthy services like Blockchain.info and Greenaddress. You can use their Tor address if you want. Easy. https://blockchainbdgpzk.onion/ https://s7a4rvc6425y72d2.onion

I learned the bad story of the wallet after I placed BTC .... I would definitely not put it there if I citalate negative reviews. One can not know everything and quote everything. Today, there is a lot of scams with everything that people do not know what a scam or something.

Hmm.
Tor.
Custodial Bitcoin wallet.
Now, what might be the most likely end game for such a set up?
It's fairly easy to guess.

TOR Wallet has always had a bad reputation. As long as I remember users complained about it or openly suggested it is a scam waiting to go live. Just look at these reviews from the past: https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/review-torwallet-1340128815/ Conclusion: TOR Wallet site is a scam, always remember - anonymously operated financial services are in almost all cases not to be trusted.

It's like as soon as people hear about Bitcoin and start using it, they just give up any normal rules of where they put their money, which is strange as hell considering that they should do the exact opposite and be much more careful than they are with fiat. It's like, "hey, people use Bitcoin on Tor, so look at this online wallet that's on Tor! Let's put our coins into that!" No due diligence, no checking if they're a regulated company, no checking for information about the owners, nothing... Same thing happens with investments. Normally none of these people would give their fiat to a company that promises to pay them back >3% daily, but apparently with Bitcoin they feel it's acceptable. Maybe it's a side effect of all the stories of people getting rich with Bitcoin that cause people to lose all of their judgement.

Don't think anyone mentioned who created the site: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=67018Surprise surprise Dr. Michael Moriarity Do your research before you entrust any sum of coin to anyone. In this case, the scammer was tagged long before Torwallet as an experienced conman. And he didn't even hide under any alts, he used his main account which everyone can check... Come on guys its not hard. Hmm.

Maybe it's a side effect of all the stories of people getting rich with Bitcoin that cause people to lose all of their judgement. Whole point of bitcoin is supposed to be trustless and decentralized, so exactly, why would you trust someone to hold your coins for you? Not only does it mean that your privacy on the TOR network is negatively affected you're also not holding your own priv keys anymore, which means that you don't hold the coins.
Moriartybitcoin aka Hotswap has also operated coinmixer, another scam. Read here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1713882.msg17169862#msg17169862Investigation of his alts: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1159906GL tracking him down, though it's extremely unlikely that you'll succeed. But in the end, karma will get him.

Yes. I find this instant abandonment of common sense absolutely fascinating. Why do they do it? Where do they go wrong? Why do they value Bitcoin LESS than their crappy dollars when it's almost guaranteed to be more valuable in the future? The are PhDs to be written about this. When I first got into BTC properly Gox was still the number one recommendation. I spent five minutes googling and could not believe that this wonky fuckhole that had mediocrity and doom written all over it was the blue chip of Bitcoin. I bought from real people instead.
