Scam is still happening, did anyone do something with that person?

I even contacted him via [email protected]:

Hi,

When you create a wallet, you, and only you have control/knowledge of your address and private key.

Keys are generated in your browser locally.

There is a few things I can recommend checking:

1. Do you have an up to date antivirus?
2. Do you have any browser extensions?
3. Are you sure you were using our domain and not a phishing site?
4. We're you using TOR to access the website?
5. Are you sure that you and only you had access to your private key?
6. Did you run the website offline?

I know of a website out there phishing on google called PaperWalletBitcoin.com that steals your private key. I have already reported them to google but no action has been taken. If you inspect element on the page when you generate a key on their website you can see your private key being sent out 5-10 seconds later to their server. Did you by chance click on this website and not the official BitcoinPaperWallet.com?

I hope you can find out what happened to your coins,

Regards,

BPW Team

I urge everyone who wants to help keep people away from the BitcoinPaperWallet site review my merge for its Bitcoin Wiki page: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.56522876

As much as I'd like to see said warning above this topic, the Flag itself would be incorrect.
It would probably help much more if Google would stop showing the scam site as #1 when you search for "bitcoin paper wallet".
I am aware of the description of the first level flag, I meant that this flag will not cause any damage to canton within the forum, but will protect guests and newcomers who come to the forum from outside. As for the bitcoinpaperwallet site itself, for prevention purposes, I will probably report this to Google support.

I have a question about the flag, since on the one hand canton no longer seems to have a relationship with BitcoinPaperWallet, but nevertheless the thread created by him is indexed in the search engine. Maybe you should at least consider creating a level 1 flag?
A Type 1 Flag has this description:

Due to various concrete red flags, I believe that anyone dealing with this user has a high risk of losing money. (This flag will only be shown to guests/newbies.)

Apparently, it's enough just to sign a message to absolve yourself of all responsibility ... I have no complaints about canton, given that he announced the sale two years earlier, but who knows what kind of loophole he could have left for himself before the sale. I am convinced that the former owner should intervene in this matter.

WARNING: BitcoinPaperWallet.com is (now) a scam!

I've recommended this website to my friend.
Don't do that anymore, this site is now a scam!

@canton: please add a warning to the title. Also: do you know who the current owner is, so victims can add that information to their police reports?

I've recommended this website to my friend. He just got back to me saying, that the wallet he just generated had previous in and out transactions starting in Jan 2019 and ending last month - March 2020. I spoke with him extensively, and I can't find any reasonable explanation. This is the address he "generated" two days ago: https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/1PoZHV4rrftuv8YuoDgRqji1syuSw141q8

Any ideas?

Think. Positive. Thoughts.
Would the new owner please make themselves known? Easier to use a service when you know who is behind it.

Thanks.

it's only my problem ? after creating a new paperwallet and entering the password bip38 , when I go to print , do not see the qr code , the space remains white .... someone could help me ?

I printed a couple paper wallets a couple of months ago and everything was fine.  I am trying to print a new one today and I am having the same problem as you.  The QR codes show up find on the screen, but when I print the wallet, the spaces where the qr codes should be are blank.

I am using Google Chrome v 43.0.2357.81 m if that matters.

EDIT:  I also just tried with Firefox v 25.0.1.  The qr codes still did not print.

EDIT again:  I tried with a different printer and it worked fine.  So I guess it's something in my printer settings.  I'll be checking into that later.

ok, good to here that i'm not the only one, i've used 2 different printer, but always the same white square instead of the qr code, let me know if u find an error on printer's setting..

What do I do if my deposited BTC (moved to paper wallet for use later on) is instantly forwarded to a differ address. I used a completely offline pc to generate and print the paper wallet and deposited .02xxxx BTC only to find minutes later on blockchain.info that my BTC was sent to a different address. Clicked on it and from there it was forwarded two more times until it reached an account with (current as of 12/22/14 22:35 cst) over $78,000 in BTC.   This makes me feel as if I have been scammed, please someone help me. I know .02xxx BYC is nothing, but after 3 months of mining it was all I had.....

This note is to announce that the bitcoinpaperwallet.com generator has been updated as of June 25, 2014. Both the GitHub ZIP and the Ubuntu CD have been updated.

Images: http://imgur.com/a/a2BDz
Github: https://github.com/cantonbecker/bitcoinpaperwallet
Ubuntu CD: https://bitcoinpaperwallet.com/ubuntu-linux-live-bootable-cd/

In addition to the improvements mentioned last week (dynamic background "guilloche" patterns, more translations, ability to have denominations on wallet fronts, different coloration for BIP38, etc.) these last-minute features were added:

* Ability to type in your own message to be printed on the reverse

* Option for typing in your own denomination (e.g. 1337 mBTC)

Seems I will be redoing some of my existing paper wallets this weekend!  Wink

Tip: Especially if you're using Firefox, you can use the "Validate" tab to scan your old wallet's private QR code with your webcam. Once scanned, there's a button to load in the address as a wallet, whereupon you can add BIP38 if you like, change the design, and print a new one.

Also, last night I updated the beta to allow you to type in your own message on the back if you don't care for the instructions. You might use this to record a hint for your BIP38 password, etc.

I notice you changed the pattern on the private key obfuscation panel - any particular reason?

As a matter of fact, yes!

* On the front side, the obfuscation is now truly random, unique for every wallet. Important for defeating someone smart enough to be doing candling and looking for a "difference pattern" with the old predictable

* On the rear edge, the obfuscation is now simply more attractive. I use a flowery guilloche pattern instead of those colored dots. It's placed so that its most dense ink areas go right over the QR codes.
