    Even the Bitcore developers advised BTC holders to first move their coins before importing private keys to the Bitcore client. This is a basic security measure to prevent your bitcoins from being stolen by potentially malicious software.

    I think Bitcore is a great project, but you should never import private keys which contain bitcoins into any altcoin client. The vast majority of users do not check the source code, so moving BTC to new addresses under your control is always the first step you should take.


    You are correct, it is very good advice, thanks for correcting me. As I use Bitcore's own qt wallet I tend to think that it is not necessary as I trust that it is genuine software which has no known bad issues. However using third party software such as Coinomi, yes, I agree with you that it is wise to move the Bitcoin to a different address first before claiming BTX.
