Another stupid victim here, my whole Jaxx wallet was emptied (it was a lot..not only BTC) about 1 day after I used http://mybtgwallet.com. I can give all the details if it's of any use. Because it was referenced on the official http://bitcoingold.org/ site, I assumed it was safe and checked by the devs. They now removed the link from their site and also at the bottom of their page it now says they are not responsible for third parties, bla, bla. At http://mybtgwallet.com it now states 'Access to the site direct from your browser, dont search in google or access from any other website. It’s reported that some hackers are disguising the real wallet. We are investigating the problem.' Also the github is updated. What to do now?? |

Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

For now i've created a new wallet on jaxx latest version & transfered all my other funds (Eth + LiteCoin + Zcash) that was still on my old wallet to my new one. So new Seed (Pass-phrase) and new wallet addresses with new private keys. (All fresh) For BTC i'm now runing the full bitcoin-core deamon and need to resync whole blockchain (already BCH chain on my pc). |

At least they didn't empty your whole Jaxx wallet.. What's the use of running the whole btc core deamon for this case? I just send an email to support@btcgpu.org, they are at least partly responsible for this (didn't they do any due dillegence/code checking before giving this wallet as link). |

Nothing special, just a full deamon with full access on the wallet + a Password to access the wallet.dat file. Blockchain, wallet.dat, logs, backups, tx's logs, fees choice. At least they didn't empty your whole Jaxx wallet.. What's the use of running the whole btc core deamon for this case? I just send an email to support@btcgpu.org, they are at least partly responsible for this (didn't they do any due dillegence/code checking before giving this wallet as link). they did for all my BTC (200$). They just dont get the time or don't notify to take my ETH because i was able to transfer them to another wallet. |

I think you all guys victim of phishing site?
Just always check first before doing any transactions for a new wallet provider if it is legit...

Yup. For my first post, I was just about to sound off about this. Same exact thing. I thought it was safe, because it had been (previously) listed in the "Ecosystem" at the official BTGold site, and was actually one of the first ones available. Otherwise, I would never have entered my private keys there, or the private keys to my girlfriend's wallet. She had about $2000 in BTC in her Jaxx wallet, and we were getting the BTG. We entered our private keys into mybtgwallet.com ... again, thinking it was safe. I had told her to move her BTC asap, but I didn't push it super hard, because I couldn't imagine an official website linking to a scam right on their website. However, at the time, the "wallet" couldn't transfer the BTG, saying that the mainnet hadn't been released yet. Once it was released, we kept refreshing the site, only to see that it still hadn't been updated since the 10th, or two days before mainnet. Eventually, we just used Coinomi to transfer the BTG and she kept her money in Jaxx. The *only* other place we exposed the private keys would have been to the Coinomi wallet. And I don't think that they're sucking money out of accounts these days. This evening, we check in, and guess what? All of her BTC gone (except for $7). Also, all of my BTG gone. They wiped us out. She called me crying; that was a lot of money for her. I feel super guilty, because I was the one that talked her into investing during the last dip. Of course, when I check the site now, it's changed. The other two options are gone, the certificate is expired, it links to a *different* github address (it used to be this guy: https://github.com/iancoleman/), and all the credits and other info are gone. And, of course, it's disappeared from the Ecosystem section of the official site without a word from the BTG devs. There's absolutely *no way* it wasn't mybtgwallet.com. I can post the transaction later, on. But here's the real question: how involved were they with these folks? Because the person who's currently linked to mybtgwallet.com is, at the moment, a contributor to the BTG project on Github: https://github.com/John-Dass?tab=stars... and the "official" wallet, as well: https://github.com/John-Dass?tab=repositoriesDid we just get scammed by the official creators of Bitcoin Gold for our Bitcoin ( and our Bitcoin Gold)? I'm sick to my stomach, here. |

Looking through here, there were all kinds of warning signs as recently as two days ago about mybtgwallet.com. It was totally a super expensive lesson; but we got burned hard. Next time, I'll follow my instincts; I *knew* I should have moved the BTG and had *her* move her money, too. I was just lax about it, because the Bitcoin Gold developers were pushing the site on Twitter, on their site, etc. I thought: "why would they do that if it were a scam?"
Well, again, I'm actually kind of thinking now that it's not some "3rd party". I bet you if we followed the money and cross referenced at least where the BTG that was stolen went, it'd likely line up with at least some of the wallets they used for their little "premine" right after mainnet launched.

Exactly my thinking, I even chose the 'official' wallet on purpose, thinking it would be safer than coinomi..how wrong was I.. My loss was even much greater. But what do we do now? I want them to give them the opportunity to sort things out and not immeaditely start screaming on (social)media they are a scam. I send them an email, but no reply so far. Is there anybody out there who is closer to the BTG team? |

Problem is this site was linked directly from Bitcoin Gold website, and it was advertised on BTG twitter as "valid online wallet". |

Yesterday I checked the balance on your website, and today you stole my money. Yes, I went to the link with BitcoinGold.org, which was yesterday under the balance verification window. You are the fucking SCAMMERS!
