Sicurezza#

Se sei nuovo alle criptovalute, il cambiamento più importante da capire rispetto al sistema bancario tradizionale è che le transazioni avvengono ** direttamente tra due parti senza alcuna autorità centrale ** per facilitare la transazione. Ciò significa anche che ** sei responsabile della tua sicurezza **: non esistono banche o società emittenti di carte di credito per annullare una transazione se i tuoi fondi vengono rubati o persi. Se dimentichi o perdi il file del portafoglio, la frase di ripristino o il PIN, perderai definitivamente e irrevocabilmente l’accesso ai tuoi fondi.

Dash è progettato da zero per essere veloce, sicuro, fungibile e privato. In questo senso, è simile al contante o all’oro, ma la criptovaluta può essere spesa a livello locale e internazionale con la stessa facilità, se sei sicuro di inviare fondi alla giusta destinazione. Per questi motivi, la documentazione di Dash è fortemente incentrata sulla sicurezza e sulla comprensione dei concetti e delle caratteristiche che guidano l’ecosistema Dash.

Alcune linee guida generali sulla sicurezza:

  • Non fidarti di nessun servizio o persona online perché suonano o sembrano affidabili. Utilizzare sempre un servizio di deposito a garanzia se si acquista peer-to-peer.

  • Store your Dash on a hardware wallet if possible. If not, then store your coins in the official Dash Core Wallet or the official Dash Electrum Wallet.

  • Non utilizzare gli exchange come portafogli. Gli exchange sono per il trading, non per il risparmio.

  • Mobile wallets should be used for day-to-day purchases, but do not keep large amounts of funds in them. Transfer funds as necessary.

A list of known scams, fake wallets and Ponzi or pyramid schemes can be seen below. Do NOT trust them.

Impersonation#

Scammers may attempt to impersonate well-known community members and manipulate you into granting them access to your system or wallets. This is usually done via private messages on the forum, Discord or email. The attacks are often targeted against masternode owners. If you require technical assistance, it is best to ask in a public channel/forum or go to https://support.dash.org and open a ticket. If you engage in personal chat with a well-known community member, verify their identity by their chat history or through their publicly available cryptographic keys. All community members and Dash Core Group staff will be able to verify their identity using signed PGP messages. Identities can also be verified on Keybase:
