Jameson Lopp posts a screenshot of a Telegram account impersonating COLDCARD WALLET that messaged a user on 1 August, opening with rapport rather than an immediate credential request: the sender claims database records showing the recipient was an early user and asks whether they moved their funds safely. The capture also shows Telegram's own contact panel marking the account Not an official account, registered March 2026, and the blue mark identified in-app as a Premium subscriber badge rather than verification. Quoted above his 31 July warning that phishing mail posing as Coinkite security notices would follow. First-hand documentary evidence of an impersonation channel exploiting this incident's migration guidance.
This post is registered as evidence and has locally held capture artefacts. The original remains the canonical publication; hashes below identify the files held by this project. Last checked .
Snapshot and diff bodies for this chain monitor are held in the local evidence archive but withheld from the public site because they can contain victim addresses. Integrity hashes, capture times and reviewed change summaries remain available below.
Each copy above is identified by the SHA-256 of its extracted text, shown beside it, and the diffs are plain unified diffs. To verify a quotation, compare it against the page itself or against the Internet Archive's copies, which are independent of this project.
Complete captures are held offline rather than mirrored here, so this page shows diffs and excerpts. If a quotation is ever disputed, the full copy can be produced. Ask.
The SHA-256 prefixes above identify each held copy without turning this page into a mirror of somebody else's post. Compare a quotation against the original. If the post has since been edited or deleted, ask and the held copy can be produced.
