I have noticed a few users suggesting to use paper wallet once someone from newbie ask about the wallet. But always I discourage to use paper wallet anyway. There was much reason why I discourage to use a paper wallet. And the most important reason already post by you. The phishing attempt is the main prevention of use paper wallets. Users would lose the funds at any time. Another is unaware of proper uses especially change address, saving seeds, encryption with passwords, and so on. Thanks for creating this thread. Hope others would get the correct reason why should avoid using a paper wallet.
You are recommending people to avoid using the most secure way of saving crypto? You have open source code, you can do everything by yourself. Why would you need to trust online website? The only thing is that you have to use the proper way and that's it. Your coin is safe. No other wallet can guarantee such security like Paper wallet.I think coolcryptovator only wants newbies to avoid trusting paper wallet services from websites they aren't aware were only Phishing sites. Paper wallets are indeed the safest ones to store your credentials IF and only IF you would use pen and paper to store your public and private keys rather than using an online platform to create it for you. The only reason it should not be suggested is because people and newbies to be exact tends to search it on websites like google and use the websites shown in there without further searching on what is the most effective way. I've seen tons of users searched and used such phishing websites and it is really alarming hence making others discourage newbies to use it.
