I’m curious to learn how to avoid self custody wallet scams. Are there any? Can you paste your private key to the wrong place?

Forgive me if I am asking the wrong questions!!

What do you mean paste a private key to the wrong place ?

It seems “third party custody” wallets is a term that can easily be given to a scam website, or a scammer can mock a website easily, with the intention of stealing private keys. Not sure that is a threat yet, but in time it could be as more migration from fiat occurs.

Here’s a great introduction to different custodial and non-custodial options, courtesy of nostr:npub18kpw3akvdsyk239lx0jgwksr74sq4nlha3r8u9g2rnrhztfpfhysy469c4

All the wallets we recommend are self-custodial 🫡

Nice update 😉
