I really do not know why people do not listen or they just tend to take some unnecessary risks. I really do not know how legit this news may be but one thing people should always do before the try to claim another chain is to move out their funds from that wallet first. Any shit can happen and you have to be prepared for the unspeakable.

This whole BTG thing is really getting out of hand and I really hope it does not end up being more of a huge disaster than being a shit coin.

Seems this coin is run by amateurs.  They can put a disclaimer up to say they don't take responsibility for links from their web site, but it is their responsibility to check they aren't scams - don't advertise the third party if you can verify them.

I do not understand why people say do not trust any website and do not import private key or seed. mybtgwallet was on the official bitcoingold website, that is why people trusted this.

I do trust myetherwallet.com and put my private key there, I do trust neowallet.cn and put my private key there, I do trust waveswallet.io and put my seed there, I do trust mymonero.com and put my private key there. These are official or supported wallets by the coins themselves. I thought mybtgwallet is also one of them.

This should be a really bad reputation for bitcoin gold, but as I see most people do not think so and blame users. This is not right.
Exactly. People who say never give out your keys don't know how crypto works themselves and should rather stay away. It is all about trust and in this case we trusted the wrong people. They are responsible for this mess.

Satoshi Nakamoto ripped me 10,000 BTC when I have wanted to buy a pizza from him. Some of the users claim that they lost up to 30,000 BTC (3 x pizza).
Watch out guys. But unfortunately there is no real evidence.

Common, this is nothing but FUD. It is really interesting how hard some people try to defame BTG in any possible way.
It is not a FUD and it is good this is being exposed right now before more people fall for this same shit. This should have been looked into first even before dropping that wallet link on their website, but I guess they did not expect it.

Moreover, the users are to be blamed as no matter how sage, you are not supposed to on any account leave your funds in your wallet before trying to claim most especially from a wallet you do not even know. Come on!

There are also some victims into that community that moved the BTC before using their Mnemonic Phrase to that malicious website. They lost the BTG though. We are talking about aprox. 1800 BTG stolen.
Even if you protected your BTC, you got robbed of your forked coins...

I'm studying the business opportunity and feasability of helping bitcoin theft victims when the hacked service
cannot refund the customers. And this scam can be a good proof of concept example.

There's 2 main challenges:
1. investigation to track bitcoins transaction
2. legal to force btc services (like exchanges) to disclose scammer/robber identity,
   block funds if the service hold somes,
   and perform a lawsuit up to recover lost funds

On investigation challenge, I can say that some btc of this scam passed throught some well known exchanges.

Now I need some victims support to start a "disclose KYC request" to continue the proof of concept. I already contact
the exchanges and based on their responses, I understand that a lawyer is needed.

I need real victims mandate to continue this proof of concept, I will not ask for money compensation, but it may have lawsuit expenses
and no garantee of success. My main motivation is experience/know how and verify the business opportunity based on a % fee of recovered btc for next actions.

I would like to be in touch with several mybtgwallet scam victims, to see if it's an interesting opportunity for thems. So victims, feel free to PM me. We'll see together how to reach the right lawyer.

As it's a Proof of concept, all feedbacks are welcome.

Hitbtc is the best for trading the Bitcoin gold and its pairs. Hitbtc has the biggest Bitcoin gold volume currently and they have a partnership. For scam BTG site, I never visit the sites for storing my crypto and I only use the known wallets.

Wow, we need to be very careful in this crypto space, we should know that crypto is being our own bank, and we have to do everything possible to make sure our bank is being secured, I never saw this topic till now and I am very sorry for those that have lost their funds already to this scam company.

But, we should try to make sure we make good research about a project before sending our money there, because we have a lot of haters that want to make sure that the crypto community crumbles and will do anything possible to see this happen.

People are the ones to be blame for there actions, why can't you stick to the wallet on bitcoingold.org itself? Or Other popular mobile wallets to store your btcg coins? I'm just hearing this website for the first time and I'm sure they are scams
