Privnote or not, nobody should be sending their private key over the internet. Just because the site adds privacy to your messages, it doesn't mean you have to go all out and send your privates keys and most sensitive personal information.

@OP, please add a warning not the click that site with 's'.

wow... that sure is tricky.
I mean other than the s its a pretty good copy of the original site.

I mean from the word of mouth someone mentions privnote and someone opens the website using the privnotes website isnt going to know what hit him until it is too late...
Sites like this should be reportable to Google to not take it up in the index...
I mean its obv Scam and Phishing.

I have used Privnote.com in many occasions but never thought of an imposter of them to be existed. I think it's better to have peer to peer PGP communications if we are exchanging sensitive information between us. No third party site is safe.

In one occasion I have sent one of the multi-sig key using Privnote.com.

Doesn't really matter which service you use (the legitimate one or not).
You can never rule out that the server has access to your information.

You might as well just send your private information via a PM here. Same effect.

If you want to securely transmit data, encrypt it.

Yeah, but I think there are crypto enthusiast who are really confident that this so called self destruct private notes services are really safe, but they are not. Everything that passes to a third party should be taken very seriously because the server can be access by anyone. Never been a fan of this services in the first place.

People must realize that technology like bitcoin offers the same benefits as physical cash does. The only difference here is that everything now is in digital space, it doesn't have tangible expression. So, in order for your money to be secured, you have to behave the same way you have behaved before plus study through some basic guides regarding computer security to avoid being scammed. Like it was with physical cash, it is better to use the same practices when dealing with bitcoin, don't put all your money in one wallet, don't tell anyone about money you possess, don't keep and send important information about your money online, don't use private notes whether they are trustworthy or not, especially when it comes to huge amounts of money. Everything is the same your money is your money, you are only one who control it.

Sending private keys over a service like that is very wrong...
I have used a service like this for sending my address to someone.
Yes I could have sent it via PM but it gave me a better feeling that its gone after opening it once... (yes he could have copied to his computer and saved it there... I know =))

Very true. I fully agree with you dear sir. Luckily my friend kept tracking the address and it finally reached Binance. He then contacted Binance for help. Maybesome use of centralization. lol

Greed and quick money is probably a driving factor for many to part with their precious BTC. And with easily replicatable websites, people forget how precious their BTC is and how much it's going to hurt them sometime in the future.
