Previously, I linked a "tutorial video" in a reply. That video claims to teach the usage of the official wallet. DO NOT FOLLOW THAT VIDEO.

The steps in that video are incorrect and can cause your XRB to be stolen. That video does not tell you to backup your original seed first before updating the data file used for synchronization. So if you are a firstimer and follow that video, you will be sharing the same wallet/account with someone. And that "someone" can steal your XRB.

I lost 1,698 XRB today because of that video. And I guess that was also the cause of my number of captcha claims increased abnormally because I probably shared the same wallet/account with "someone".

That's too bad bro I feel bad for you but thanks though for sharing that in here. You will save a lot of xrbs from being stolen. I guess for beginners it's always best to just stick to the web wallet. Don't worry man karma goes around so to whoever stole your xrb something or someone will be coming to them.

I really appreciate your comfort. That makes me feel better.

I guess you are right. It's best for beginners to try a web wallet first. I will try one then.

To be honest, this doesn't make sense. When you when install the wallet, an address is generated and it will not be the same with any other wallet. Also, if you share an account, it has nothing to do with captcha claims increasing.
