sendbit.io (web wallet) is shady and might be malicious.

Code:
$ whois sendbit.io
Domain Name: SENDBIT.IO
Registry Domain ID: D503300001183785123-LRMS
Registrar WHOIS Server: whois.namecheap.com
Registrar URL: www.namecheap.com

1) sendbit.io is deceiving potential customer:

They claim:
Just to clarify we do not have access to your private keys we use something called "createwallet" (https://bitcoincore.org/en/doc/0.17.0/rpc/wallet/createwallet/) using JSON RPC [...]
(archived)

However:
  • The encrypted file is stored on their server
  • The password used to encrypt it is send in plaintext to their server

This concept is not similar to blockchain.com, where the keys are created and encrypted client-side and only are stored on the server.
They have full access to the private keys.



2) sendbit.io is donating to themselves:

sendbit.io donation address: 32xTvYfrjf8KMemRfbmz9CrcBo6Q8YK6aq (archived)
Outgoing transaction to address 3AN8iJKd8VaVfczVY4Vvj8CQtMxZeNCFiP.
The very next and only transaction from 3AN8i.. goes back to 32xTvYfrjf8KMemRfbmz9CrcBo6Q8YK6aq and 34Yam2jeDX348v6KtN6d21psC1gxn1o9tD.
The very next and only transaction from 34Yam2.. goes back to to 32xTvYfrjf8KMemRfbmz9CrcBo6Q8YK6aq and 2 other addresses (34pVKwsP8YmyifjPBAWGnjcQKj4UNag3Gq and 38FrvmdxuHud75gQQqjA5fmp7rb3YxfrUy) which both again fund the sendbit.io donation address 32xTvYfrjf8KMemRfbmz9CrcBo6Q8YK6aq and other address... and so on.. This continues.

This seems very shady to me. The only reason one would do that, i can think of, is to increase their reputation or popularity by pretending there are a lot of donations coming in.

He is heavily shilling sendbit.io:

I don't know what programming language you're using based on PHP this is the best I could find https://sendbit.io/page/api-documentation other than coinpayments.

Sendbit.io allows you to have private key access so you're in control of your funds.
Can anyone look into https://www.sendbit.io/page/api-documentation and suggest?
[...]
The top two wallets for me are:

https://blockchain.com
https://sendbit.io

But I still recommend anyone reading this to go with a wallet that gives you your private keys...https://sendbit.io does.
[...]
In the future double-check the address before you actually send the payment.

checkout https://sendbit.io they prevent clipboard hijacking and even give you private keys for each address you own.


Sorry for your loss buddy.
If you're looking for a secure online wallet check out https://sendbit.io or trezor.io


Sendbit.io allows you to have access to your private keys... That's pretty cool and they have an awesome API
Trezor.io you'll need to order their hardware device your private keys are inside that.

3.2)
Address used from cryptoworld99 to send out 40$ in a contest/donation : 3AkoGZo64KFZ6GrsjxDiwUoR5puAW1x (archived).
This address has:
  • 1 incoming transaction, from address 1hasanwdFRZkZn665PLrNMjsJyqWBuecy which has an incoming transaction from 38q7yuD28n7mQ6uecQRT6z9ux6ygLkPPK4, which also funds 32xTvYfrjf8KMemRfbmz9CrcBo6Q8YK6aq and also received a transaction from an address which also funded 32xTvYfrjf8KMemRfbmz9CrcBo6Q8YK6aq.
  • 1 outgoing transaction which funded 3AkoGZo64KFZ6GrsjxDiwUoR5puAW1x and 32xTvYfrjf8KMemRfbmz9CrcBo6Q8YK6aq
    The address used by cryptotalk99 (3AkoGZo64KFZ6GrsjxDiwUoR5puAW1x) seems to be included into the self-donation-circle.
