The best thing is you can save all the keystore files, private keys in a safe place. If you save them on your computer, keep in touch with your computer security.

[Starfranko]

Exposing one's private is just like given away one's bank account pin to outside. You never can tell what they are gonna do with it but trust me they won't say you some dollars for Christmas gifts.

The name is also a newbies, so there must be more harm than right, but if the ETH ERC20 wallet loses the private key, there are still several options to open it, and beginners can also correct their mistakes over time, except for those who are lazy to learn.

[Starfranko]

If an individual does not know that their private key should be private and we'll guarded I wonder what other things they might have learnt . I think most people are quick to get into crypto-currencies without taking time to gather the rudimentary information that would make their stay in Crypto safe and secured

Newbies are bound to make mistakes that is why they are knows as newbies and not experts. That is pretty normal, they should make the mistakes and then learn from them, if they keep doing that then its not an issue but if they fail to learn from their mistakes then yes there is a problem.

Those are newbies who don't read and pay attention to instructions. Some people are just loose and ignorant like that. They will be willing to drop their debit/credit card pins too if requested by third parties.

it use to be funny when i see someone fill the google form where they input their private keys instead of their ETH address. of course that looks stupid. but when i saw someone acted like a newbie and posted his private keys along with a link going to a MEW phishing site, it changes the mood since he is up to make users login using their own private keys.

[levyashin]

I was a newbie and i was doing stupid things.

They are (and we were) newbies, it is very normal to do stupid things. Yet giving out private key is very stupid even newbies shouldn't do that.

[Ridwan Fauzi]

The focus of most newbie who comes to this forum is money, they forget the security thing such as private key, their identities ane something else who related to money.

Actually this problem can be solve easily if they want, just simple they must come to begginer and help section and active for a few days before they make a comment on this forum then I believe there is no one who will be scammed by other people. Even their knowledge will add because there are many usefull thread for newbie and generally for all members.

Maybe he completely surrenders and gives up his entire career as a bounty hunter, giving his private keys on the net sounds stupid. What on earth did happen out there, where did that happen? Did you perhaps see his pk and get a peek on hi account since you manage to get a message.

Nothing much here to discuss, the Private key share was that of an airdrop wallet meaning the newbie must have been an airdrop hunter which I'm very positive they don't earn much to worry about their funds been stolen. In most cases this guys (Airdrops hunters) have numerous wallet for different campaign so some of the case you think are mistakes aren't.

On the other hand, ignorance is the cause of this problem, just like the user above me mentioned, if you consider the security of your coins as a priority, spending some time to get educated on how to safely store your sensitive wallet information should be your number priority. But instead most newbies aren't concerned about that which is why, they get punished by the scammers out there. The good news here is that, those experiences (lost of funds) comes with lesson and since experience they say, is the best teacher. It's quite ok they make this silly mistake now (involving less funds) and learn from then.

This is a financial system. Each hunter takes his accounts seriously. Let's say I have constant monitoring. Many copies of the hard disk and data. I do not want to lose access to my financial instrument.


  One thing to understand. No one can help us if we lose access.

[toydoll]

Let them learn from their mistakes and lose their money if they are so lazy just to read the necessary information on the forum.So much is written about wallets.The first thing to think about is the safety of your funds.

If any airdrop hunters are giving out their wallet private keys just because they dont have any funds in it or they have many wallet address they still need to be very careful because one day the hunters can become the hunted,they can mistakenly make deposit to the address of the eth wallet theyve already shared the private keys on the internet

If the wallet where he is posting his private keys do not have coins anymore or no coins are coming then it's up to him to show or give his private key, but it's not a good practice, even if that is a useless wallet, we never know, like for example, you entered it in an airdrop or a give away and the coins came when you already exposed your private key.

We must be responsible and educated never exposed our private key, and always learn how to protect it at all cost, remember the last guy who claims to be Nakamoto stated that he lost his private key through negligence.

[domoy77]

It should not be repeated to share a private key, it is very stupid, must ask or learn from experience, if you continue to lose tokens

Wow, it's quite unfortunate that people enter the cryptocurrency space without getting information on the basis. The most important aspect of one's journey in this space is the security of wallet. I do hope that people entering the industry would take some time to study and familiarise themselves with the necessary modalities.

I cannot believe that such people are still here. There are thousands of threads on this forum where is stated that you should never provide a private key to anyone, but it seems like people would likely lose their account, rather than to spend some time by reading posts here.
