A Bitcoin investor was recently scammed out of 9 Bitcoin (worth around $490K) in a fake “Exodus wallet” desktop application for Linux, published in the Canonical Snap Store. This isn’t the first time; if nothing changes, it likely won’t be the last.
Bitcoin is just a scam in general.
“Bro, I’ll sell you this really complicated number. No one else has it.”
“What can I do with it?”
“Sell it for more money to a bigger fool than you.”
"I’m in.*
“Bro, I’ll trade your food for this fancy piece of paper”
“What can I do with it”
“Trade it for more food with a bigger fool than you”
“I’m in”
(Not saying that you’re wrong, just your argument is stupid)
So you think Blackrock fall into a scam too?
Ppf. It’s digital currency. It’s not a scam.
You sound like an 80-year old who refuses to use debit cards because they aren’t cash.
That’s how all currencies work.
“Bro, I’ll sell you this piece of paper with a number in it” etc.
It’s sad, but as a crypto user I’d be sketched out enough about using a centralised hot wallet app like Exodus in an official capacity, let alone entering my private key in something installed via a 3rd party app store. This probably happens on the Play Store a few times a week, and that’s on a bigger platform with a full security review process. It’s ultimately unavoidable.
Targeting linux desktop. Damnn
Are we finally famous?
Lol
It’s a good thing bitcoin is more secure than fiat money
It is on the FlatHub as well.
That’s is the genuine one. There is a genuine company called Exodus for Crypto. The problem is that a scammer made their own clone and nobody verified whether they really are from the Exodus company.
If you check the manifest on Flathub you’ll see they verified it belongs to the real Exodus
Yes. You are right. Thanks. Just listened to the Linux Matters podcast episode about this. Crazy.
It’s produced without upstream involvement but does seem to be legit so far. I placed a post seeking clarification about the Flatpak situation on Reddit 6 months ago. I quickly got a response after posting it. However, the response was from some scammers and I never got a response from the company behind it itself.

LOL, you should have DYOR and used a cold wallet. You clearly don’t understand the complexities of Bitcoin, have fun staying poor!
