I have tried sending crypto via telegram sometime last year but it wasn't successful. I don't if they have been able to get it working with the recent telegram upgrade.
I think that this is going to be the next trend in the crypto market for which these messaging apps aside from Telegram, they're all going to be adopted being a wallet and it's going to make the transactions easier because anyone can send any crypto that they support from the sending user to other receiving users. This is going to make things really quicker and easier and it's just a send away but they're going to act as custodial wallets.

Has anyone sent Toncoin through Telegram? Does anyone have any real experience with this new system? If anyone has real experience, it would be good to share it here. Because I think a lot of people have a lot of questions about this new system. As mentioned in the tweet, no address will be required, then how will this transaction occur?
What if the telegram account is being hack or being compromised, maybe sometimes you were login to a web and refuses to logout another user got to know about token that same account won't it be sent out without your noticed?
Ton wallet/bot is a custodial wallet, it tied your Telegram ID into the bot of the wallet. So, in any way your Telegram account is compromised, and the attackers found out you are using the bot, then they surely have the capability to empty out the funds.So, you have to guard your Telegram account securely. Enable the 2FA, local passcode, etc. Besides it is custodial, the whole thing doesn't offer great security, IMO.
Probably need more information about how the transactions are happening,if it can be done without internet then its offline transaction which can't be considered as a transaction is completed until we get enough confirmation which happens only when the transaction is broadcasted into the network and data enters the blocks and moved.
Literally you can send BTC with only email address of someone but this is only for transacting between the coinbase wallet app and these are not real transaction, just a numberical data change though.
Transactions done off-chain or simply in between platform accounts was never been considered to be a tx which does have confirmation since these are internal then its just really those typicalLiterally you can send BTC with only email address of someone but this is only for transacting between the coinbase wallet app and these are not real transaction, just a numberical data change though.
situations but crossing into other services/platforms or simply a wallet then it is really needed to be broadcasted. I dont see for some relevance or truth about sending crypto through
Telegram.If there would be some sort of command then it would be on online or attaching a particular wallet once you do request it out.It cant be possible for having stand-alone.
Does it mean one need no address to receive Ton after being sent to your telegram?

The decentralized blockchain Telegram Open Network (TON) announced this week that it will add a bot that will allow more than 550 million users to send cryptocurrency to other users via chat. The initial launch of the “wallet” bot will enable the sending and receiving of Toncoins, In the process, Telegram handed over control of TON and Toncoin which is now the 205th largest cryptocurrency according to CoinMarketCap.com with a value of US$2.83 billion to The Open Network, an open source community dedicated to developing Toncoin and related blockchains.
This is One good thing for crypto users specially those telegram users , but the problem is? telegram since then being mentioned as a place where scammers uses because the whole conversation can be deleted and no one can recovered the conversation, though I don't see any problem from this (and also Facebook messenger has this option now Unsending the Message)But let's see how this can help the crypto users as TON seems to be a legit currency and can be used as this transaction ,
because Like what you said indeed that it is a scammers place and how could we help this situation to favor all of us?
But maybe I will pass for this as now , and wait for the clarification of everyone if this is same and this is worth a trust .

It's a new system and most people don't know about it. As a result, we will naturally have many questions about it. Like how does it work? How safe is sending cryptocurrency like this? If the person who will receive the crypto refuses and deletes the telegram chat, then what do we have to prove?
Your words are correct, and asking questions is normal. I think if the systems are authentic then there will be more publicity about it and people will know how reliable it is. Although I still can't quite trust it. I still have a lot of questions and a lot to know. So I will not advise anyone to use this system yet

It's only TON coin since it's the native crypto of Telegram. Just as the exchanges work for those off chain transactions, they might adopt that technology and that's the one that they'll use.
But it's actually good if they'll be able to adopt this feature but, I'm sure that many will agree to it that it's just going to be another centralized wallet/platform.

I have a question about the authenticity of using Telegram bot to send cryptocurrencies .I think it is not that much safe because there are lots of scamer coming out who use telegram bot for scaming. From my opinion I will say that avoid these kinds of system and use these kinds of wallet Where there is no access to third parties
about the authenticity of the bot you just need to check it, the real bot has a blue check mark while the scammer bot doesn't have it and the original bot you can find on the official website ton.org.If you want to be more secure and worried when using a wallet with tons of wallets, you can switch to a hardware wallet, because a hardware wallet is a wallet that you own and you have the key and will be safer from scammers.

I'm fine with my current non custodial wallet and I didn't feel it's a problem to enter long wallet address, so I guess there's no purpose I would use Telegram as my wallet. There are so many hack events on Telegram because someone can easily send malware and got downloaded if they're clicking random link. I don't think there's so much demand to create a new wallet when we have so many wallets around us now.
Even if that were true, I still wouldn't use a third party to send BTC to any address. Can't we simplify direct delivery instead of using other alternatives? Obviously, this action can raise suspicion. Even though it was announced by @ton_blockchain though I would prefer to send it directly. This is not a good alternative if the telegram bot has such a service.
There are some ''facilities'' that I sometimes can't understand what they're made for, but maybe it's a matter of the type of users. Sending crypto via wallet is extremely easy now, it's just two clicks. Even in the case of whatsapp payments, the traditional payment system is also super easy, even too easy I think. Then I wonder what is the need/utility of these payments integrated into applications. Perhaps they even have more negative than positive externalities.
