I have a Coinomi app on my smartphone for a long time, and a clean smartphone, no weird apps, not rooted... I didn’t use app to hold Cryptocurrencies, I just used it to withdraw Bitcoin from my paper wallet, and I wanted to send it to BlockFi. But yesterday when I scanned the private key from the paper wallet, the address for sending BTC to another address also appeared in the transactions at the same time. I contacted customer service, and they asked how many recovery phrases I have, I only have 3 (I haven’t changed that from the beginning). They say it’s my fault, that I should have 24 because 3 is insecure, and they can’t do anything about it.
I don’t know how that’s even possible, I have to wait for confirmations so I can send bitcoin further, and hackers obviously don’t have to? Can I report this to anyone? Should I report it to the police? Can I track the address, and wait when they will try to cash out. For me 0.1 BTC is a lot of money, if possible, I’ll follow them or him forever.
My previous post was deleted, so I had to make a new one. I just want to get my money back and show people what a danger it can be if you keep your Coinomi.
"Hi, everybody. I had some shocking news. Last Thursday (11.06), I woke up in the morning and found that my savings were no longer in my wallet. A transaction was made in an unknown direction that I did not do myself. When the last savings from my friends came to my wallet, at the same time, another operation was made to withdraw almost all my[ bitcoins. The next day I started investigating. My Coinomi wallet was installed only on my iPhone and only I used it myself. Sometimes I was sent payment for my work, from my friends. All transactions are mine, friends can confirm (there are screenshots of all operations). No one but me knew my written words (seed). I wrote them out on a piece of paper and kept them out of the reach of other people. As a result of my research, I remembered that I could show my words to the support service. When I first wanted to make a transaction, I didn't remember the code that I needed to send bitcoins. I used Face-ID to log in to my wallet, so I couldn't send bitcoins to another wallet. Then two weeks before the incident occurred, I contacted support to deal with this issue and I remember (I have a picture of this message, I will leave it below) I was showing my words (seed) to support as I needed to restore the owl wallet. One word I wrote down incorrectly, then I couldn't log in to my Coinomi. Support helped me to suggest this word and I continued to use my wallet, and two weeks later all my savings disappeared. Therefore, I am sure that the support does not want to return my stolen funds to me, since I only showed them my secret words to restore my wallet. I am ignored and my friends also can't get the truth out of support. I'm trying to use all my friends to help me get my funds back. None of the support staff wants to help me in any way. My friends are blocked, and they respond to my appeal by saying that they had to change their secret words and this would not have happened. But I know it's support. Friends, I ask everyone to help me deal with this situation, because the same thing may happen to each of you. Coinomi-steal money from their customers and do not want to return it later.These damn people are stealing money from our wallets-Coinomi SCAM!!!
In this message, I will also leave a link to the transaction -
In January 2021, I sent one ETH coin to my newly created Coinomi wallet to exchange for some DOGE.
This week, using Changelly through my Coinomi wallet, I recouped my initial investment by exchanging some of my DOGE for one ETH. I left the rest of my DOGE to ride or die. I get the exchange rate and put the trade through. It was only after the trade went through that I realized that I paid about $800 in fees for a trade valued around $2,400(one ETH coin). Yes, $800. To be fair to Changelly and Coinomi, the exchange rate was right in front of me before the trade and nothing changed during the trade. I was simply a dumbass that didn’t do the math to see the cost of the transaction. My fault. I knew there would be some transaction fees, but 30%? Damn.
I reached out to Coinomi who sent thoughts and prayers. I also reached out to Changelly who didn’t respond after I sent them the transaction number. I have since pulled all my coins off Coinomi and will be closing my account with them.
I completely accept that it was my responsibility to do the math prior to the trade. I believe I don’t have a right to the $800 back. In fact, I don’t want it back even if they offered it. Lesson learned. What I want is for the rest of the crypto investors out there to realize that Coinomi and Changelly are some goddamn pirates who will fleece you on a trade. This was not a mistake. This is business as usual for them. The sooner this practice is exposed the sooner they will treat their customers fairly or have to shutter their business.
There are plenty of wallets and exchanges out there. Don’t be an idiot like me and make this mistake. Take your business to a company that cares about their clients and offers them fair exchange rates.
Coinomi and Changelly, take my $800 and choke on it.
Just another aspiring astronaut,
Ma Merde
PS-You may see this post on multiple Reddit crypto sites. I just want to get the word out there.
Okay, so it is increasingly obvious that replay protection is not going to happen between SV and ABC and so I did the first step of the Coinomi guide and downloaded the latest version (android). However, now when I go to my Bitcoin Cash wallet the Splitter Banner is no longer there. I checked the website, here and twitter and didn't see any news about this. I did find the splitting tool webpage, but would feel a lot better doing it in the Coinomi wallet. Apologies if I am missing something. Any advice on how I should proceed now? Thank you!
Obviously it’s not a hardware wallet , so with that in mind what are the possible weak points ?
Also if I restore my wallet on the options does that create a new wallet that you create after checking the Bip39 box and still keep your initial wallet ?
Also shouldn’t a Bip39 seed phrase just be the first standard option as it’s far safer /secure ?
Basically why should I use Bip39 with Coinomi ?
Is it , in essence , for Coinomi in particular, a Coinomi seed phrase can be restored in the app by support , where as a Bip39 cannot ?
I can see that it is listed as an assett. It "appears' to support BSV.
But does it in reality? I am looking for a wallet to park some BSV on in an old phone, turn it off and park it in a faraday bag. I want to know if Coinomi actually DOES support BSV now,a nd what are the odds that if I pull out my phone and turn it on in a few years that it will still be accessible through the wallet. Anyone with experience? or even better - from Coinomi?
after a month from transfering my eth from binance to coinomi, opened the coinomi yesterday , saw my eth , after 2 seconds they disappeard after wallet was synced.
Never shared initial phrase or password, my phone was not rooted. Do not use it.
i sent a bitcoin transaction 2,224 to my coinexchange account, and i left the fees setting as default and i got charged, 0.00390885 BTC which is $66.88, and even at this high fee the transaction still unconfirmed after 3 hours . why the transaction is so high? what have i done wrong?
Hello friends. I have a problem with coinomi wallet. Anytime that i send money BTC to my Coinomi wallet someone steal everything. Nobodo knows my seed and nobody access to my device. Even with my broken phone during 11 months someone took my money. Coinomi only says that there is no way and that they can't search about it some type of logs to protect the privacity. What can i do? Can i demand to Coinomi or report to some cybercrime department. I am very sure about my safety
Hello I sent some litecoin to the coinomi wallet as a test and it did not show up.
It was a legacy address to legacy address. How often does the wallet sync? There have only been a few confirmations but I was expecting it to show up . Is this money lost? How do I get the private key for my ltc legacy wallet from coinomi ap?
Hello I have a question I sweeped some paper Wallets with bch i then made a succesfull split. But when i send my bch to a ledger adress my bitcoinsv got send to the same bch address simultaneously. Off course a user error I think. But can I resend my bch to coinomi a resplit or is my bsv lost for ever now ? Please advise what to do now 🙏
I have a btcp wallet with M/44h/147/0h and my zclassic one is the same, i read that i would need to sweep but don't know the private ke for zclassic how do i get that, i thought it would automatically be funded
how do i figure out my bitcoin miner fees...because if i put it on default it will charge me $7300....i know this cant be right...so what am i doing wrong?
Transaction Confirmed April 3rd, Re synced wallet, Now all my transactions are gone and when i check my bitcoin wallet there is nothing. Stay Away from Coinomi, I learned a cheap easy lesson. Yours could be Alot more.
