I'm really sor-

If you're for real, this is a tragedy and a bitter learning lesson. You'll recover; put all your effort into securing a better job in the next 30 days, and double down on USD.

i mean, you could try and tweet a Mr. Skeltal. maybe there's a white hat savior out there.

>>3024781
There is zero chance of recovery

>>3024781
? It doesn't even ask you for your private key. LOL It asks for your public wallet address.

>>3024838

Who is that? Can you give me a link? I am willing to give everything a shot, I have no other options anymore

>>3024851
it probablly asks you for your private key after you enter your address

>>3024851

It asks for your private key after you put in your wallet address.

you'll feel like shit for a few days but life goes on

always be incredibly sceptical in crypto and the general rule is never ever reveal your private keys to anyone

>>3024860
Yes, Vitalik will certainly hardfork Ethereum because a NEET with $10 in Ether fell for an obvious scam.

8.2 ETH may not seem a lot to most people here but where I'm from that's basically a fortune given the current economic situation

I googled the address it went to and got a bunch of Chinese website results so I'm assuming I got scammed by someone in China

How could it ever possibly seem like a good idea to share your private key on the internet?

>>3024962
I'm curious as to what it said.

jesus fair play to the guy, only about 6 hours work to setup the website/backend and advertise on twitter

>>3025029

My brain just turned off for a second as I got hyped at the prospect of free OMG, I don't know what else to tell you. I've been dealing with a lot of financial stress which clouded my judgement

Any tech guys know how someone (in a first world country) could go about hosting a site like this without it being traceable back to them? I imagine maybe buying a paypal account on the deep web then (while using tor / proxy) using it to register a domain and a VPS to host the site.

He's just posting this.

>>3025054
I'm a nocoiner so I don't even know if it works like that
But couldn't you have created a new wallet with nothing in it to use in that sketchy website, then send the monies on the new wallet to your actual wallet?

That way if the scam was a scam you wouldn't have lost anything
But if the scam was real you wouldn't have missed out on free monie

>>3025140
Im guessing the website automatically initiates a transaction as it receives the private keys. So when you realize its a scam you cant do shit.

>>3025140
The whole idea behind the scam is that you have to use the wallet containing etherium and give your private key so they can verify you own the wallet

It was honestly pretty convincing, with the domain name, SSL certificate, site design and everything. I could see myself possibly doing it if I was drunk.

Glad someone else made the mistake for me, someone send OP some ether..

>>3024781
is this new larp pasta? pretty shit tbqh

>>3025163
>The whole idea behind the scam is that you have to use the wallet containing etherium and give your private key so they can verify you own the wallet

If they're just supposed to give you free stuff what's their excuse to ask for a wallet with anything at all in it?

I'm sorry this happened anon. I tried warning people about that and reported the account the twice in the past two days.

>>3025193

I wish this was some larp but unfortunately it's just me chainsmoking and trying to calm my nerves with cheap vodka right now

>>3025208

>>3025194
airdrops usually give you stuff according to how much ETH you own, that way you can't just create thousands of empty wallets

well technically there are infinite private keys and therefore infinite wallets, if you are getting an airdrop you need to have your wallet on the blockchain which requires you to have ETH pass through it

>>3025089
Just make an ICO and scam people the right way, don't be a soulless bastard

>>3025242
>technically there are infinite private keys
>therefore infinite wallets

Interesting.

>>3025233
if $2400 is going to break you, you absolutely should not be investing in cryptos. you should be happy that you learned this valuable life lesson by ONLY losing $2400. if I lost my private key, i'd be out $80,000 - but guess what, even losing all that I would still be just fine because my day job supports my entire life style.

you need to find a steady job and wagecuck your way into a steady income before even thinking about investing in cryptos again. learn from your mistakes.

>>3025242
Ooh right
That makes sense

And since the whole thing with crypto wallets and transactions being visible to others, it makes sense for freebies that need to check your current balance to exist and still not be a scam, so OP isn't THAT retarded to think this could be real, only retarded for thinking giving them his password was necessary?

>>3024978
>0x97CA1cc29beb6A58eEc4a50Fc75afA187Ad928d9

what the fuck

>>3025301
looooooool he has 0.01 ETH left, hope he shot himself

>>3025301
there's a guy there who sent 700, fucking devastating

>>3025300
ya exactly it's a pretty plausible scam to be honest and i can see a lot of people who aren't too knowledgeable on the technical side of crypto falling for it

never EVER give out your private key, it's like handing someone the password to your bank account

>>3024781
Nothing is free. You fell for a trick that is as old as man.

>>3025089
suck dick fagit

I feel you, OP. I lost a bunch of ether in a similar scam a couple months ago. I felt sick to my stomach like I was going to puke. After I while I felt better. Life goes on. I hope karma catches up to these "people".

>>3025402
nah wouldn't actually do it, just curious as I've studied cyber security in my comp sci course but this type of stuff was never addressed

>>3025415
Maybe I'm an extreme goody two shoes but I can't imagine being able to feel good after putting people in distress like that

>>3025323
Could you even imagine? That was probably his life savings. Holy shit

>>3025323
Hell, I'm just a bystander but even I am a little shook up by that.

>I got hyped at the prospect of free OMG
Read and reread that phrase. How do you think you would sound explaining the situation to a police officer?

This is the guys wallet transactions from that day. Looks like he put his money/assets into etherium after seeing the site, then immediately lost it all.

meant to put the link

might be the alex jones in me but it could have also been the scammer sending it to himself to make it seem legit to the other retards.

though retards cant check block info, if real thats raw

>>3025754
This can't be real

>>3025810
Nah, he wants to make it look like he ISN'T taking etherium, and we were only able to find the scammers wallet by OP posting his.

He posted a pic of his ass with a sharpie in it but it has been deleted. Oh trust me, it is real.

Move the ETH to a new address!!

Hurry, before the scammer steals it.

>>3024781
dumbass

>>3025855
I saw it on warosu
Sad situation

>>3024946
Fucking soulless chinks.

>>3025855
the guy who lost 8 ETH or someone else?, i sent $5 to the sharpie guy kek

>>3025859
if the scammer is competent the second they receive the private key a script should automate the withdrawal of eth instantly

>>3025901
They're one and the same

>>3025901
That means you got the uncensored version. Can have pls?

why hasn't the scammer shapeshifted his shit yet?

the address is gonna get seized

Yeah, was thinking of a US-based person. It's a helluvalot of money in many other countries.

Yeah, it's a lot of money, but not like life savings.
If you save 10%-20% and invest in Vanguard, you ought to have way more than that.

I'm aware that a lot of people don't save, I just assume that a guy with $200k falls has a grasp of personal finance.

To verify an address all it needs to do is to tell you to send a very small amount of ETH such as 0.00000001 to their address within a limited time interval, such as an hour. The great irony is people are reluctant to send someone an insignificant amount of ETH to prove ownership, yet some people have no qualms handing their private keys over.
