Topic: Stupid mistake newbies still do till date - page 3. (Read 5016 times)
as you have explained, if someone or maybe really a beginner gives a private key just to get an airdrop token I think that's very silly. I am also a beginner but not that stupid either, I mean give my crypto asset key only for airdrop tokens? it's the same as feeding a hungry crocodile.
I think they really don't know what they're doing if they are exposing their private keys. Even in the creation of the wallet, it is already stated that you shouldn't be doing that. I would recommend them to use other ways in opening their wallets like using a hardware wallet or the file. And they're "newbies" btw.
Newbies often skipped everything they need to know regarding important information such as keeping private keys and passwords. They focus on making a money which is not actually the first step in cryptocurrency.They lack the knowledge and they do not understand everything they do. They just know that earning is possible.

Most newbies doesn't know the difference between a private key and a public address. That is why a lot of newbies lose their funds easily, either by scam or foolish mistake. However, I've been in a telegram before where there was an instant someone purposely posted a private key, which has a lot of token, so I was watching the wallet and seems like a lot of people had sent ethereum for gas fee. And after a while, someone posted never to send anything on the wallet since you cannot withdraw it, surprisingly the wallet was able to accumulate almost one ethereum from that scheme. I don't know how it happened but, just be careful.
Quit underestimating wallets and figure out how your wallets works either its ETH erc20 based wallets or multi walllets,you lose your private keys or recovery seeds you lose your coins and tokens,I was in a gathering on message when somebody posted his private key guaranteeing he didn't get an airdrop tokens,I wonder what may have transpired as of now,its like some still don't have the foggiest idea how genuine there wallets recovery seeds and private keys are,quit playing with wallet private keys and take them more serious like you doing with your bank account.
This is often done by newbies because they don't know much about it and they easily trust the words of others. So in my opinion, it's better for newbies to not easily trust others and also share their private keys with ease. Ask your closest friends if you don't want to experience things that might happen to us.If you're aware how important your private keys you wont do this common mistake of a beginner.
So to avoid this from happening dont jump in any earning opportunity if you dont fully understand it.

I was in a gathering on message when somebody posted his private key guaranteeing he didn't get an airdrop tokens,I wonder what may have transpired as of now
This is so unfortunate. I think in my early days, I did such mistakes too but I got to know somehow that I was not to expose my private key. I was lucky I have no coin yet on the wallet, so I had to abandon that one and generated another. As a newbie, yes you are prone to such mistake. A time when you really don't much in the world of cryptocurrency. All thanks to this forum.
It is true that we need to pay attention to the private keys that we have, such as ATM cards, or our bankbooks, because when you lose it, you lose all your assets. some people try to cover this using hard wallets, but most people save their private keys on hard disks and other data storage places.
Every time we create new wallets, there is always an instruction regarding the details of our wallet including a warning where you should not share your private key to anyone and keep it as this is the only way to open your wallet.
Newbies are actually skipping every instruction they have to understand which they shouldn't.

The number one mistake would surely be selling at times of downfall. Most of the new oned are not yet aware of the nature of market volatility. They do easily panic at times like this and we cannot also blame them for doing so. Even those who are not new panic due to the situation we are currently experiencing. Investing is highly risky at this moment because stability is still absent in the market. But if we would trust the process, holding would be beneficial someday once recovery take place.
Offline wallets are by far the best and most secure but you still have to keep your backup safe, new wallets are the most dangerous one to use but mobile wallets are still cool for everyday use, keeping private keys safe is where most have issues
I think not only a newbie to experience something like that. Even my friend, a Pro, lost more than $ 60k. I think storing privatekey safely is still not enough because a fake web can also be a threat to the loss of our valuable funds. So increase your knowledge more than anything related to securing your assets or funds from internet crimes.
newbies make lot of mistakes on crypto field common one is struggle with scam project , i have do search and study on hawk network and their team also whitepaper, acualty this can be a best project everyone can take a part of it, check with twitter page on them https://twitter.com/Hawk_HKC/status/1185539270456553472
Most newbies dream of fast enrichment and simply don't want to spend time studing , many of them don't even read the forum rules, let alone read about security measures of their keys. Although the forum has a lot of thread dedicated to this topic with professional tips.
I can't blame the cryptos newbies if they make the mistake for the first time. I just hope it doesn't cost them much harm and they learn from it. Experience is the best teacher.

Too many newbie wallets, maybe? of course the stupid thing is to eliminate the private key that contains cryptocurrency. Some of my friends have lost the private wallet, usually offline wallet which often happens, a slightly complicated method to open a wallet. The reason is because you want to save for a long time. There is also because the wallet contains only a few coins, so deliberately post a private key or ignore it.

Yes, this is the common mistakes of the newbies as they didn't care what will happen to their wallet as they don't have funds yet. They didn't think about the future, private keys are very important and once it was expose to others then your incoming funds is not safe anymore.
I also experience plenty of newbies in the past that gives private keys instead of Ethereum address just to receive the airdrop tokens of shit projects.
Private key is the most important thing in a wallet so it must be well guarded too.
privatekey should be stored on disk and Google Drive and don't forget to pack it with WinRAR then give a password so that no one knows it.
I think online storage will also be risky and should not be used for security. In my opinion you should only use 24 characters for security because the private key is now no longer as secure as before and if it is revealed, the possibility of losing the entire property will be very high. In addition, Ledger Nano S should be used to avoid attacks because this is the safest cold wallet in this market and has many security functions for investors.privatekey should be stored on disk and Google Drive and don't forget to pack it with WinRAR then give a password so that no one knows it.
I don't trust any of the wallets available in this market because all wallets hold our account information and if lost, no one can help us get it back.
I don't understand why newbies keep making such mistakes. Everywhere on the forum talking about the safety measures for beginners and I believe that it is impossible to ignore them. Anyone who comes to the crypto should first learn all the safety rules. The, who this not made, himself is to blame in is that his coins stole.
Because their popping like swarm bees here knowing to earn some dime here, and will have an easy money. Some people have been scammed by those who are good in acting as if their management. Coin stealing is easy especially those who have skills. Yet those newbies literally blown out their keep safe data by clicking phishing and other malicious link.

Yes, this often happens. Even though seed words or private key are the most important thing to open a wallet that we have. Without that, we can lose the coins or tokens that we have. Better to keep the private key in a place that is not connected to the internet
