Google bans 8 crypto apps

[boyptc]

It is good that they ban apps.

Next should be those scam advertisements that are bypassing their approval. I guess that Google is enlightening us with such actions that they do like banning these apps.

when google ban some app within the store, it's either not safe anymore because of hacking issue and etc or there's a problem in it since the very first day reason mostly feedbacks were negative and google decided to remove them.. By the way thank you for posting this information this can make people aware especially members here in bitcointalk forum.

Google Play store bans 8 crypto mining application which  describe below ..
~
Please don't use this apps any more...

Well, its needed to clean PlayStore because of these fake cloud mining apps that sometimes contain some malwares or anything that can clean up your bank accounts in an instant.

Hope that Google will make more actions to these scamming and hacking apps because I know that some of these apps on playstore contain malwares. Maybe lets not fall into these kind of traps anymore. We know how to mine Bitcoin and Ethereum right and we know that cloud mining isn't profitable and mining Bitcoin and Ethereum can't be done using just a simple phone so don't install anything that is related to mining these 2 coins.

Great step by google against fake and scam programme, it’s will be blessing over crypto trading, i wish they will keep their step over this type of scam in future.

One of the main reasons for banning the above eight mining apps from the Google Play Store is that all these mining apps try to make extra profit. They cheat in the name of mining in various ways. So do not use all the above Cryptocurrency mining apps.

Google needs to take more steps in banning other cryptocurrency cloud  mining apps because they are just too many on Google play with so many promises that is used to entice more victims especially those persons that have no concrete knowledge in Crypto. They have caused more to the society than good making ignorant investors to loss interest in Bitcoin. The fight against these scammers that are building different apps just to steal people's data and valuables need to continue to reduce the risk of being unfortunate.

Yeah, those are fraudulent crypto applications related to mining with thousand of users as victims. 
As the information one of the posts in https://cointelegraph.com/news/google-bans-8-deceptive-crypto-apps-from-play-store
Those applications have been reported significantly because of their reputation. 'And actually, there are still several other fraudulent applications again that we can find out. So be careful always when going to download any application in the PlayStore.
there are also some fake applications resembling the official one.

Commonly, they will do activities based on the reports from us. So be pleased to report any suspicious or fraudulent applications if we found. We can help Google to filter and do such banning actions.

Thats better that google play will not allowing that kind of application to be installed by other people just to scam. Cloud mining is just a sucks platform to earn crypto currency I already scammed with that kind of shit application, at first they will get your trust by just giving you an earning of what you invest then after that you will get hook on that scheme and you will going to add more money in your first investment to earn more but after you do it they will gone they will shut down theyre server and you will lost all of your investment.

There we go again, these news has been really annoying everytime btc starts to boom and soar fruitfully and bad news like this gone so bad.
Who cares if they ban adds about cryptocurrency? People nowadays have been educated by the system that runs in digital currency. Holders who invested their future in cryptocurrency won't turn their backs but rather fight for their independence in taking financial freedom.

Apps that Google had been banning since, are either doing false advertising to dupe some innocent people into fake unacceptable plans of mining where scammers lie to them saying that they will be giving huge returns to them for mining some value in BTC or ETH or whatever is shown as a mining alternative in the app. We recommend to stay away from such apps because they can also hack your phone and ask for ransomware once they get all your personal data.

[TelolettOm]

Good job Google.
Many fake applications are still there, impersonating the official one.
There are fake mobile wallets, fake crypto mining, and also sometimes fake exchanges.
Be careful.
I really appreciate the step done by Google. And I do agree that we must continue reporting the fake ones and scammers to google so they can easily ban and take down such applications.

I think Google play is not permitting that kind of apps who bypass your approval and of course, there's always a warning sign at first when you try to install something on your phone that you need to accept in order to use the app. Of course, they ban apps that doesn't fit for every user to use and is trying to steal data to a user(s).

I hope they did it a long time ago because such apps existed because of their help and it's their fault of allowing these fake apps. I think there are more apps out there that still existing and I hope Google play will do their work to just vanish them and never let any kind of apps that has the similar agenda when installed by the user.

I hope this initiative will continue because not only 8 crypto apps are fake on their platform but there's a lot more. Not only crypto-related apps but many "money-making" apps as well luring gullible people to try for the promise of earning money but ended up wasting your time for nothing. They will find out that they are now home of a lot of fake apps needed to be removed immediately in the market.

Are all cloud mining apps a scam though? Or just some of them, like the ones you've listed here? I realize that it might be unsafe and opens so many rooms for scammers that "rent out" hashing power, but can't that be legit sometimes? I don't see what's wrong with someone investing money in pool mining in exchange for a Bitcoin reward share.

Anyway, that got me thinking, is all those apps are scams, how did they wind up on Google Play in the first place? Shouldn't there have been an inspection of some kind?

Google Play store bans 8 crypto mining application

Those mining applications are scams. It is good news that Google play store already banned them. I suspect some people reported them and Google play store take the necessary action by banning them all. We must thank Google play store teams that they want to accept our reports and care about people's security. If they don't ban it, possibly some people can be scammed.

Enough for the hoping. There are a lot of fake apps in Google play.
I think Google's power to detect fake apps are only limited and So they aren't able to detect most of these fake apps.
One of the most noticeable fake app today is the Fake Ronin wallet. Several Axie players have lost their Axies, AXS, and SLPs because they downloaded the fake apps and exposed their private keys.
Im surprised I didn't see Ronin wallet app included in the OPs list.

Google really need to up there game in preventing the flood of fake app into the google app store, it is risky for users when they will install a fake app on their device unknowingly thinking it is from google store am safe, the action already long over due, especially in crypto space where funds are involved it is easy to have so many fake app in disguise as the original only to scam people of their funds, people should very vigilant.

Not only fake Ronin wallet but there are also many fake applications that have not been detected and banned by google. The 8 apps OP listed were removed in hundreds of fake apps. Hopefully next time google will be strong with fake apps to protect its users.

[FinneysTrueVision]

There is already a proliferation of scammy crypto apps in the Play Store. Good for them for taking action but I think there is still some work needed. I have seen a lot of apps that are pretending to be legitimate wallets like Trezor or Ledger. There has even been some cases where people lost very large amounts of crypto because they downloaded a fake app.

[UserU]

^ Exactly. It is worded like Google is against crypto.

Just another common thing on the Play Store though. Remove 10, there are 100 still hiding.
