6 safety concerns?

[Reid]

Should it really be 6 on the list? 

Scammers is what I am concerned by now.
When you go to telegram they are non stop.
They post different links in different groups and there are chances that they will PM you directly if they see you posting newbie questions in one crypto group.
All of a sudden you will have three or more guys pretending to be administrators.

Is that really difficult to make money nowadays? Or are they just really lazy to do the job?

Scammer is existing on many different platforms, Even on real-life scammers are just scammers taking advantage of others.

I believe that we can't get rid of the scammer because it exists everywhere, It's just they find using blockchain technology is easier to use on scamming comparing to other platforms.

I think educating ourselves and controlling every activity is the key to avoiding these scammers.

My main concern is about security of my crypto wallet and also the security of the exchange account, for exchange security aside from the user (myself) it also depends on the exchange, that's why I hope someday DEX can replace CEX.
When open my exchange account I try to make sure many things, like the url, the browsers i use etc.

Try to use a easy to remember address in exchange and your transaction for much faster and secured crypto wallet. Having short and easy to memorize address will help you to prevent wrong sending of money for you to be able to avoid loss. Always check your browser and as soon as possible use other browser with private security and safe to use.

Scammers is one of my top priority when guarding myself.
They have been lurking around in shadows and just waiting for the right opportunity to abuse your weakness.

Specially with ICO threads here.
You will be shocked with a lot of messages that will be sent to you offering some deals which came out of the blue.
You don't even know a thing about their project and yet, they will offer something in return or other excuses just so it could look more inviting or you look like the winner in the deal.

Personally, the only safety concerns I have ever thought of as to do with wallet protection and exchange platform account protection. These are the only media people can actually lose their Bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies.  For scammers and integrity of content creators, you can easily avoid them compared to your wallet or exchange account getting hacked.

When it comes to exchange, the most important thing is that you shouldn't store your cryptocurrencies on an exchange. From what I have seen these exchanges are not to be trusted with your coins because they can get hacked at anytime. The only exchange that has proven to have strong security is Coinbase, but I will still advise you to be careful with all of them, anything can happen. If you can store your coins yourself then you should that and make use of paper wallet or your hard drive, or hardware wallets. If you don't trust your safe in handling these, you can make use of Xapo's cold storage to store your coins.

As for scammers, you shouldn't trust anyone or any project easily. You should do proper research about any project before investing your money in it. One important thing to check is the team, you should get to know who they are and if they are active on LinkedIn or any other social media and have been active for a very long time and the people they have as connection, all these matters a lot and some people still don't check them.

I think my only concern is the security of the hardware wallets.
Just imagine if those hardware wallets get penetrated then there is no such thing as a safe place for our crypto currency.
But other than that I think most of the problem is up to us to avoid just like scam it is our choice if we want to avoid it or be scammed most of us are too greedy that they would get scammed easily.

This shouldn't be a concern for you anymore because you have grown well in cryptocurrencies and I think you're using a hardware wallet which is more effective for people that want stronger security.

And as for exchange accounts, there is 2FA that you can activate for the 2nd layer security of your balance. That's why whenever someone gains access to your account, they will hardly take your balance because you have activated the 2FA feature.

Agree when you use hard ware wallet for saving your altcoin assets, how ever is the best place very safety keep hold and save your altcoin assets although with long term holding, my friend have use hard ware wallet and their assets keep safety after for long term but for online wallet it safe but when you use wrong link you will lost your assets later.

For me, the security of common exchanges and wallets. How many times they have been attacked by the hackers? Even though they are claiming to have a highest security they can offer, but still there security isn't that 100% secured at all. I experienced the hacking account issues before that gave me a lesson to always set 2fa.

On the other hand, I always have a concern with the reputation of cryptocurrencies especially with bitcoin. In most cases, it was used as a back up for illegal purposes that may drag the bitcoin's name down. This concerns me for the reason that it may have an impact for fully adoption of it in various areas.

For me, security is the highest concern issue in this platform, When a hacker focus on your account, then how could you escape from this type of stage? I don't know what to do? so in this sense, if you can check for your security purpose then you may have not any concern here, but the scammer is not a problem at all, just you need to be cautious about every step and make every decision after a proper analysis on this regard, basically, those people who are not aware of the scammers those are really affected to this platform, so need to be patience, make a slow and steady way to get a anything.

Most of the time, we want to have the maximum security over bitcoin transaction. But we aren't really happy if our information and transactions will be monitored. we often ask ourselves, who will be responsible about it? For me, it is not always that bitcoin should be responsible. Take note, we are the one who are making transaction and have the total control over our bitcoins in the market. So, whenever a breached or some faults happen, we should also consider blaming ourselves not keeping our funds in the safest place possible.

when using cryptocurrency honestly I personally am very worried about scammers because apart from that problem of course we already know how to avoid those problems, unlike scammers who are very difficult for us to predict because they are certainly very good at making projects or platforms that are attractive to many people to try to invest in their projects, and now it's not surprising that some people suffer losses due to the actions of scammers.

[veleten]

don't know about 6 safety concerns , but the ones I'm concerned about are hackers and scammers
I'm not an easy target for something fishy , I can sniff when they plan to deprive me of my well earned coins from a mile
but nevertheless you never say never and some attempts I experienced were very creative , people fall for it easily
hackers take the matters out of your hands an if you are targeted by a pro , you are in trouble
the good news , most of the hackers are not interested in the targets like me , they shoot for bigger fish
but it is unsettling to send money to exchanges with all of the news of lost funds and whatnot
every time you want to sell or by it is like fueling paranoia , checking if the money is still there in the account, haha

[ololajulo]

I only have one concern about crypto,

Cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin should not have a huge transaction fee. Because in order for Bitcoin to become the world's leading cryptocurrency, it needs to be utilized by many people around the world. And if they can see the transaction fee is quite high, they might end up choosing other cryptocurrencies

The management of the transaction fee can be impressing base on the medium of transfer. the higher the price of bitcoin the lower the value of bitcoin as transaction fee. Except for ignorance anyone should avoid exchanges and wallet with high transaction fee, I believe the low turn out for such platform with high tx fee should compel them to reduce it. There are extortioners every where and we should punish such.

Security is top importanct as we cant control scammers now, at least there should be some security measures crypto should implement in selecting or accepting projects. May it be in exchanges or in some ICO platforms. The rest that I consider too is projects product, legalities, application they have ,platform they use and adoption. There are still many flows that are need to be solved in bitcoin or crypto space.

That's the issue we always in counter. so many of us here priority that kind of concerns because its always happen to newbies and to those even have secured their accounts. with this kind of concerns we warn every each of beginners to avoid putting too much funds in any wallet or exchange platform they own. let's be sure that our concerns is fulfilled before we take any kind of action to put too much risk in our funds.

Spiritual Factor Authentication (2fa) may not always enhance your security. To date, this may be a weakening of your security. It is very successfully bypassed because there are attacks on SIM cards. The news. Twitter allows you to disable two-factor authentication via SMS. 07:54 / 22 November 2019
"Twitter is two-factor authentication."
The ability to disable two-factor SMS authentication was added to protect against SIM swap attacks.

“In order to access all your emails, you only need one SMS message,” the experts emphasize. Billions of Android device users are at risk of cyberattacks, Check Point experts warn. Using just one phishing SMS message, an attacker can trick a user into changing the critical network settings of a device and stealing his data. According to Check Point experts, some manufacturers of mobile devices, including Samsung, Huawei, LG, and Sony, use OMA CP with insufficient authentication, which can be used by cybercriminals. A remote attacker is able to trick a user into updating the settings of his device using a malicious proxy. Thus, he will be able to intercept a network connection, including browsers and built-in email clients.
