Re: Bitcoin Gold online wallet: mybtgwallet

Looking through here, there were all kinds of warning signs as recently as two days ago about mybtgwallet.com. It was totally a super expensive lesson; but we got burned hard. Next time, I'll follow my instincts; I *knew* I should have moved the BTG and had *her* move her money, too. I was just lax about it, because the Bitcoin Gold developers were pushing the site on Twitter, on their site, etc. I thought: "why would they do that if it were a scam?"

Exactly my thinking, I even chose the 'official' wallet on purpose, thinking it would be safer than coinomi..how wrong was I..
My loss was even much greater.

But what do we do now? I want them to give them the opportunity to sort things out and not immeaditely start screaming on (social)media they are a scam.
I send them an email, but no reply so far. Is there anybody out there who is closer to the BTG team?

We're exactly in the same situation...

For now i've created a new wallet on jaxx latest version & transfered all my other funds (Eth + LiteCoin + Zcash) that was still on my old wallet to my new one. So new Seed (Pass-phrase) and new wallet addresses with new private keys. (All fresh)
For BTC i'm now runing the full bitcoin-core deamon and need to resync whole blockchain (already BCH chain on my pc).

At least they didn't empty your whole Jaxx wallet..
What's the use of running the whole btc core deamon for this case?

I just send an email to support@btcgpu.org, they are at least partly responsible for this (didn't they do any due dillegence/code checking before giving this wallet as link).

Another stupid victim here, my whole Jaxx wallet was emptied (it was a lot..not only BTC) about 1 day after I used http://mybtgwallet.com.
I can give all the details if it's of any use.

Because it was referenced on the official http://bitcoingold.org/ site, I assumed it was safe and checked by the devs.
They now removed the link from their site and also at the bottom of their page it now says they are not responsible for third parties, bla, bla.

At http://mybtgwallet.com it now states 'Access to the site direct from your browser, dont search in google or access from any other website. It’s reported that some hackers are disguising the real wallet. We are investigating the problem.'
Also the github is updated.

What to do now??
