Shameless plug: At baseshift.com we're building a solution to this. We generate isolated clones of production databases and expose operational control of clones via MCP (start/stop…

To be clear, it didn't take my keys. It generated a wallet to which I sent my bitcoin, which was then promptly sent somewhere else.

> Mistake #1 : switching to an even more closed computing environment, where user has strictly no control I've been with Google Nexus and Pixels for many years, roughly starting wi…

When I installed it, it was the #1 organic search result. Other commenters report seeing the same app as #2 organic search result. Just because an account is newly created does not…

Yes, but how does following the tx trail help me in any way? They've moved the BTC a few times since the wallet sent it to them.

I didn’t put a seed phrase into the app. I created a new wallet in it and transferred the btc to it.

Others have reproduced it, see others comments. Perhaps for them the ranking changed slightly but the fact is a scam app is ranked as high as serious companies. Gmail / Google are …

If only there was a website I could use to contact other like minded people where they could vote on posts they like and discuss them in comment sections. Oh, wait

How am I supposed to prove I didn't seek the app out? What level of proof do you expect? Do you expect me to create a brand new apple account, replace the one in my phone (which mi…

> (1) How much more valuable do you think it is to the scam app developer to appear at the top of the search results than for a legitimate wallet developer? Well, the scammer got C…

Fair enough. I removed it and recorded the screen again: https://streamable.com/y5nhy7

Here is a screen recording including this hacker news post + your comment & and a switch to the app store with the search phrase. The first result is the scam app. I scrolled down …

I just took a screenshot of the app store about an hour ago: https://pasteboard.co/bZ7qQvAzYggy.png

It wasn't a promoted result, it's an organic search result, and it's still there!

In hindsight, this is quite obvious. Coming from years of using Google Pixels I just got used to trusting the search results. I've never hit a fraudulent app when searching in the …

Honestly, I got lazy, and that's on me. I was using the standard bitcoin wallet app on android. It did seem weird I can't restore the wallet I backed up in the android app, but the…

You're right, I shouldn't trust a random app. Also, it's pretty much my first serious foray into Apple land. I trusted Apple's search results. There are multiple apps, far more mat…

You're right, and I've done both. My review doesn't appear in the list of reviews. What's crazy is that a scam app is the #1 organic search result for 'bitcoin wallet', above block…

Earlier today I decided to switch my Android for an iPhone. After moving all my apps I decided to make the jump and move my bitcoin from the android wallet. I searched for 'bitcoin…

Nice work! If I'm not mistaken, the root requires morphological disambiguation, which may change depending on the context/phrase in which the word is observed. This is an active ar…
