It has come to our attention that certain social media accounts have popped up which are impersonating our project or its team members, or trying to get people to follow instructions to split their coins or run (likely compromised) wallet software not produced by BCHN. In other words, scammers. See known scam URLs below.

Note! BCHN does not have any "Web Wallet"! There's nothing to "Claim" - such sites are only after stealing your money.

Screenshot from a scam site. BCHN is a full node software, not a currency (that's BCH!).

We never ask you to put your keys into a website or send coins to a website!
If you see anything like that, it's a scam site - leave and warn others.

These accounts (examples below) are NOT linked to our project and do not represent us:

If you see such accounts not listed above, please report them to us via our Slack or Telegram.

If you are in doubt whether something appearing to come from our project is authentic, please contact us.

To those who are our genuine fans and would like to assist us in promoting Bitcoin Cash Node:

Don't open accounts which appear to be or claim to officially represent our project without consulting us.

I didn't know there were so many scam sites and repos going on. This is insane. We could try to report those users / repos at the very least.

Oh no, it got updated...

I think these sites are trying to make more people that we're intending to onboard, the unaware, become misinformed. We need to find a way to mark them as scams.

Hmm...

All the links are bad links.

The links are disabled on purpose by replacing the 'tt' with 'xx'.

We don't want to drive more traffic to them.
