Nobody should expose their private key whether newbie or they are veteran within this ecosystem and I think iltgst coil have been done erroneously or the person in question is downright stupid

I believe that those people who somewhere reported their private keys, themselves to blame for the fact that their funds are stolen. Those people who cant take care of the security of their funds, most likely should not engage in cryptocurrency.

A place for orientation is needed, in which newbies will be properly educated on how to keep their assets safe. Although, there are several of the! Online. Not only newbies make mistakes, those who have been in the space for years can also do thee same.

sometimes people have the attitude of forgetting if you have trading experience when prices fall will definitely rise and when prices rise there will definitely be a time to fall so that it makes traders come back like a newbie trader because he might forget and accidentally.

Quit underestimating wallets and figure out how your wallets works either its ETH erc20 based wallets or multi walllets,you lose your private keys or recovery seeds you lose your coins and tokens,I was in a gathering on message when somebody posted his private key guaranteeing he didn't get an airdrop tokens,I wonder what may have transpired as of now,its like some still don't have the foggiest idea how genuine there wallets recovery seeds and private keys are,quit playing with wallet private keys and take them more serious like you doing with your bank account.
My question is the air drop tokens are worth the embarrassment. Did he even know that he is giving the whole wallet or what. I am sure that not all newbies are this ignorant but it will be better to help them as early as possible. I hope you told him not to do that again or else I predict another post about a newbie being hacked will surface once again. It really needs to be said that the security of your wallet starts with you. Be cautious, doubt the unknown especially if you won't earn anything from it. It is bettet safe than to be sorry.

is that kidding or is it deliberately not knowing? private key is not supposed to be published or told to others, because it is the key to unlock assets, and I believe the incident was done because he might be upset not to get airdrop and it should not be done because according to ethics it is not appropriate to do.

You should always have control over your private keys and secret phrases. Write them down, create a USB stick only for those purposes or make a separate file, but you should have those files accessible at any moment.

Still many of newbies are not aware of their private keys. I see some of them do provide private keys to get some free tokens either from airdrops or from fake bounty projects. Some of them unknowingly save their private keys on their Bitcoin Forum account. In fact I did save my private keys on my bitcoin account. Newbies should know the fact that they should not share their private keys to anyone. Only they should share is ERC address.

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.
yes, if storing it on a computer and the computer is still protected by security, I think the keystore remains safe. if not because of his carelessness, the keystore will never disappear, I think this is a very simple problem.

Newbies always mistaken that private keys are also their wallet address. I've encountered a lot even before. They just dont understand that their private key is the heart of their wallet, once it was stolen or given to other person, the chances to compromised their wallet is 100%. It is clear when creating a wallet, an instruction was posted to avoid giving or sending private keys to anyone, they should know and understand it very well.

Most of them make this mistake as either they missout on saving the private keys or else save it in their bitcointalk forum account I lost access to my blockchain wallet due to same stupidity in the past and they should save the private key in their email to keep it secure and accessible.

That's what you can expect from a newbies since all of this is new to them so they probably do some mistakes. The only thing I can suggest is not to put the privatekey and address in one place or close to each other because its likely to happen when you want to share your public address to others that you will copy your privatekeys instead of the address. Always make a seperate file/record for privatekeys and wallet address only so whenever you want to check your balance or share your address then just open that file where your addresses stored.

In most cases mistakes are made due to carelessness. I do not want to tell that I am a very big professional, because when I started working with cryptocurrency, I also made a lot of mistakes. Once I also lost access to the wallet, because I gave not the wallet address, but the secret key. And I made this mistake due to the fact that the wallet address and secret key were saved in the clipboard of the keyboard of my smartphone. The sensor responded to finger touches, but I did not bother to double-check the data that I sent. I want to say that everything happens and everyone can be wrong.

somehow what's on the newbies minds, they are very easy to provide the identity like KYC, other important data and the worst is exposing the private key for small penny, without thinking about the problems that will be caused later, the internet is an open world and small mistakes can punish you severely.
These happen to mostly beginners in crypto industry taking lenient on private keys even clicking phishing sites that make their wallet got hack. Even my friend is a newbie in crypto he doesn't know what he is doing to protect his wallet. So by giving him advice to always keep safe the private keys and never shared with anyone.

They are newbies and it is one of the factors why they lose their private keys. When I was newbie, I always double thinking about my decisions for me to protect my funds from scammers and hackers.

Nope. The best thing still is using metamask to secure your coins. That's still far the best. If you'll be storing your private key somewhere, it could still be compromised. But with Metamask(also recommended by MEW, it has layered of protection to secure yourself.

I don't how can someone expose their private key. It is like your are opening your gate for scammers to pillage your assets. Im sure these are newbies trying to learn the ins and outs of the crypto space. Feel sorry for them to loss their assets that way.

My favourite of all times is a colleague who left his seed words on the office common table after discussing his wallet with friends.)

Private key is the most important thing in a wallet so it must be well guarded too. privatekey should be stored on disk and Google Drive and don't forget to pack it with WinRAR then give a password so that no one knows it.
