New Branded Backgrounds for the Coinstash Community

Today we are excited to reveal the official brand refresh of Coinstash. We've upgraded the Coinstash you've come to know and trust, with a revitalised look, an enhanced web app, and an even more intuitive mobile experience, all designed to reflect our evolving vision and mission.&nbsp;<h2>Why Refresh the Coinstash Brand?&nbsp;</h2>The Coinstash journey began in 2017, when the cryptocurrency industry was in its infancy. Bitcoin was still emerging, Ethereum was taking its first steps, and many other blockchain concepts were just budding concepts on white papers. However, the revolutionary potential of blockchain technology was evident.&nbsp; Inspired by this potential, we saw an opportunity to provide the Australian market with a user-friendly platform to easily access and exchange their cryptocurrencies. Our mission was clear - to bridge the gap between traditional finance and the burgeoning world of cryptocurrencies. Fast forward to today, and Coinstash has made significant progress. Serving over 25,000 users, raising two successful crowd-sourced funding rounds, acquiring an AFS licensee company, and gaining numerous accolades, we've become one of Australia's foremost and most trusted crypto exchanges. But we aren't resting on our laurels. The crypto landscape has grown and changed immensely in a few short years. We've witnessed major crypto market swings, Bitcoin's (BTC) historic peak at US$69,000, the rise of Stablecoins, Decentralised Finance (DeFi), Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) and the Web3 space.&nbsp; As the industry evolves and matures, we embrace the need to adapt and grow alongside it. We are witnessing an exciting shift in the crypto space, with more seasoned traders and investors entering the market from traditional finance, demanding a higher degree of proficiency and trustworthiness from their chosen crypto trading platforms. Built by investors, for investors, Coinstash is more than just a crypto exchange - we are a community with a shared belief in the power of crypto to change the world. Together, we strive to empower investors to unlock the potential value of crypto to build a new, better financial future for all. To meet these shifting market dynamics, we've embarked on a strategic brand rejuvenation. This includes modernising our brand assets to resonate with our forward-looking vision and better reflect the aspirations and needs of our increasingly sophisticated clientele. This brand evolution is our commitment to meet and exceed the demands of the rapidly changing crypto industry, now and in the future.<h2>What’s Next for Coinstash?</h2>The launch of our refreshed brand is an important milestone, but it's just the beginning of an ambitious journey. This revamp is the first of many strategic steps in our product roadmap, charting the course towards delivering the best crypto investing experience possible. Coinstash will continue to launch the next generation of crypto trading and investing products. In the coming months, you can expect a host of new innovative offerings, including Coinstash Private, Automations, Derivatives and more, designed to take your crypto investing to the next-level.&nbsp; So, welcome to the new era of Coinstash. We are excited for you to join us on our journey. Together, let's build the future of crypto. The Coinstash Team

Security is and always will be, Coinstash’s number one priority.&nbsp; We’re deeply committed to security and data privacy, and our team works tirelessly to protect your information and assets. However, keeping your account secure is a shared responsibility, where users also need to practice good security habits. Here are some simple ways you can add more protection to your Coinstash account.<h1>10 Coinstash Account Security Best Practices</h1><h2>1. Always use two-factor authentication (2FA)</h2> Activating 2FA is the most important step towards securing your Coinstash account.&nbsp; 2FA is an additional layer of security that requires users to verify they are the owner of the account before accessing their account. Coinstash provides 2FA via your authenticator app (such as Google Authenticator). With 2FA enabled on your account, you'll need to provide a unique verification code to sign in and make withdrawals. If you don’t set up 2FA through an authenticator app, by default we send a 6-digit email code for all withdrawals.<h2>2. Always use strong and unique passwords&nbsp;</h2> Use a password that is long, complex, and unique to your Coinstash account.&nbsp; Your password should be over eight characters long and include a combination of uppercase, lowercase letters and special characters.&nbsp; Avoid using easily guessable information, such as your name or date of birth. Also, avoid using the same password across multiple accounts, as this can increase your risk of a data breach. It’s also important to update your password periodically.&nbsp; <h2>3. Use a secure password manager</h2>Keeping track of multiple passwords across different apps and devices can be difficult. Using a password manager can help you generate, store, and manage your passwords safely. Popular password managers include <a href="https://1password.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">1Password</a> or <a href="https://www.dashlane.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dashlane</a>. These services have sophisticated encryption mechanisms to make password storage more secure. <h2>4. Use a unique email address</h2> We recommend using a unique email for your Coinstash account to minimise the risk of bad actors stealing your sensitive data.&nbsp; This ensures that the email address has not been previously leaked to spammers or hackers via another entity’s mailing-list breaches. Additionally, ensure that your email address is secure and that you are the only person who has access to it.<h2>5. Set unique pattern locks and passcodes across your devices</h2> Having different strong pattern locks for all of your other apps and devices can prevent hackers from gaining access to every account you have in case one of them gets compromised.&nbsp; Use a strong pattern lock or passcode and avoid using easily guessable information, such as your date of birth or phone number.

Complete identity verification for your Coinstash account</h2> Completing identity verification for your Coinstash account can help increase your account security. It provides an additional layer of authentication and can help prevent unauthorised access to your account. Additionally, it can help you comply with our regulatory requirements. <h2>7. Keep your software and apps updated</h2> All of your software and apps are constantly updating and improving, with regular bug and security fixes. Make sure you install updates as soon as they become available, and avoid using outdated or unsupported software and apps.&nbsp; This goes for all of your apps and your phone operating system; not just the Coinstash app.&nbsp;<h2>8. Keep your devices clean</h2>There are many types of malware that can be used to steal your sign-in credentials and gain unauthorised access to your account. To protect your devices from these types of threats, consider using the latest version of anti-virus protection and scanning your device regularly. Practice safe web browsing habits and never click on suspicious links or download suspicious programs. <h2>9. Be mindful of what you share online</h2> Be mindful of what you share online, especially on social media platforms. The more information you put out there, the more data for an attacker to target you. Don’t make yourself an easier target. Where possible, avoid sharing personal information, such as your full name, address, date of birth or phone number. <h2>10. Never share your Coinstash account credentials&nbsp;</h2>Never share your Coinstash account credentials including 2FA codes with anyone, even if they are your family and friends. Keep your account information private and secure, and avoid using the same login information across multiple accounts. Recommended Reading: <a href="https://coinstash.com.au/blog/crypto-risk-management" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">5 Crypto Risk Management Strategies</a>&nbsp;<h1>Need help? Contact our support team</h1>If at any time you have an account security concern or question, please do not hesitate to contact the Coinstash Support team.&nbsp; As a rule of thumb, remember that Coinstash staff will never: - Ask for your password, 2-step verification codes, or email access;- Ask you to install remote sign-in or remote support software on your computer;- Ask you to send money for resolving issues with your account; or- Direct message you on social media channels

10 Coinstash Account Security Best Practices

Cryptocurrencies have become increasingly popular in recent years, attracting more and more traders and investors into the space looking to make huge returns. Unfortunately, with the rise in popularity, it has also attracted several bad actors leading to a surge in crypto scams. In this article, we'll explore the top five common crypto scams and provide tips on how to avoid them. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned investor, this guide will help you identify potential scams and protect your investments.<h2>What is a Cryptocurrency Scam?&nbsp;</h2>A cryptocurrency scam is a type of scheme that is designed to steal your crypto assets or steal your fiat currency using crypto as a medium. While financial scams have been around for millennia, they have become increasingly more sophisticated since the proliferation of the internet. Given the highly technical nature of cryptocurrencies, scams in this space can be even more advanced. Because cryptocurrency transactions are immutable and irreversible, once a scammer gets hold of your crypto and sends it on the blockchain, it is very difficult to get it back. Knowing what to look out for and how to avoid scams has never been more important.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<h2>Common Types of Crypto Scams</h2><h3>Social Media Giveaways</h3>It’s amazing how generous everyone seems to be on the likes of Twitter and Facebook. You only need to check the replies or comments under the posts of high profile accounts or celebrities like Elon Musk and you will likely find another <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/financial-influencer-red-flags-5217694" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">influencer</a> is doing a giveaway. All you have to do is send them some Bitcoin and they will double it and send them back, out of the goodness of their heart. Sounds too good to be true, right? Unfortunately, that’s because it probably is.&nbsp; These types of social media giveaway scams have become all too common. Scammers have begun to create fake accounts and impersonate celebrities, influencers, or companies to attract unsuspecting victims. These accounts often look identical to the verified accounts you follow, but this is part of the trick. The hundreds of replies thanking said account for successfully receiving the giveaway are likely just fake accounts or bots deployed as part of the giveaway scam. It is strongly recommended to ignore these giveaways. Even if you are tempted and believe that it could be legitimate, take a closer look at their profiles, followers and social media handles, and you’ll likely see signs they are fake.&nbsp; Coinstash or any legitimate company doing a genuine giveaway will never ask you to send funds first.&nbsp;<h3>Fake Mobile Apps</h3>With the rise of mobile devices, scammers have started creating fake mobile apps that mimic legitimate crypto wallets and exchanges. These fake apps often look and feel like the real thing but are designed to steal your login credentials and access your crypto assets. Indeed, despite being malicious apps, some can rank highly in the Apple Store or Google Play Store, giving them an air of legitimacy.&nbsp; To avoid falling victim to these scams, only download apps from official websites or trusted sources. Check the publisher’s credentials when using Apple Store or Google Play Store, as well as the app's reviews and ratings before downloading it. Be wary of any app that asks for your private keys or passwords. You can download the official Coinstash App from <a href="https://coinstash.com.au/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Coinstash.com.au</a>&nbsp;<h3>Phishing</h3><a href="https://cointelegraph.com/blockchain-for-beginners/what-is-a-phishing-attack-in-crypto-and-how-to-prevent-it" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Phishing</a> is a common tactic used by scammers to steal your login credentials and access your crypto assets. Phishing scams can take place across many mediums including - telephone, email, fake websites or messaging apps. In crypto, scammers commonly send emails or messages through messaging apps such as Telegram, impersonating representatives of a crypto exchange or wallet provider. The message will usually contain a link that will redirect to a fake website – similar to the original one – that will prompt you to log in. Once you enter your login credentials on the fake website, the scammers will steal your information and access your crypto assets.&nbsp;&nbsp; To protect yourself from phishing scams, always double-check the website's URL before entering any login credentials. Avoid clicking on links in emails and private messages, and downloading attachments from people you don’t completely trust. And most importantly, never give out your wallet private keys or seed phrase.&nbsp; Coinstash or any legitimate service provider will never ask for your password or private keys.<h2>Romance Scams</h2>Unfortunately, love can make you blind, and scammers know it.&nbsp; Fraudsters are now using dating websites or apps, such as Tinder, to create fake profiles and lure victims into seemingly real romantic relationships. After gaining the victim’s trust, the scammer then turns the conversation to lucrative cryptocurrency investment opportunities and tries to convince the victim to invest. In reality, the scammer has no intention of investing the victim's money, and the victim ends up losing their investment and potentially their personal information as well.&nbsp; There are many red flags you can look out for in relation to <a href="https://www.scamwatch.gov.au/types-of-scams/romance-scams" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">romance scams</a>. Be wary of individuals who ask for financial help or bring up investment opportunities early in the relationship. Look out for profile pictures that seem fake, low-resolution, or could belong to someone else. Like the previous examples, always verify the identity of the person you are speaking with and be cautious about giving out your personal information.&nbsp;<h3>Rug Pulls through ICOs</h3>Finally, rug pulls are a relatively new but increasingly common crypto scam. Rug pulls most commonly happen through <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/i/initial-coin-offering-ico.asp" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Initial Coin Offerings</a> (ICOs), where projects claim to be launching a new token to support their project. These scams occur when a developer or team of developers creates a new cryptocurrency project, raises money from investors, and then disappears with the funds. They do this by creating fake hype around the project, attracting investors, and then pulling the rug out from underneath them. Always do your own research before investing in a new cryptocurrency project. Look for projects that have a strong and active community, a well-defined roadmap and a transparent team with the expertise and experience to deliver on what they are promising. Be wary of any project that promises guaranteed high returns or absurdly high annual percentage yields (APYs) that far exceed the market average.<h2>How to spot cryptocurrency scams</h2>There are several common red flags that can help you spot a crypto scam. These include: - Unsolicited messages or emails asking for your private keys or other sensitive information- Promises of quick or guaranteed returns on investments- New cryptocurrencies with little or no information available about them- Social media profiles or websites with little or no information about the people or organisations behind them- Exchanges or wallets that are not registered or licensed in your jurisdiction Malicious actors have no shortage of techniques for targeting unsuspecting cryptocurrency users. To avoid the most common scams, you need to remain constantly vigilant and avoid engaging in any risky activities. As a general rule of thumb, remember that if an investment sounds too good to be true, it probably is.<h2>Invest in crypto with confidence</h2>Starting your crypto trading journey can be simple with an online exchange like Coinstash. Coinstash offers low fees, low spreads, a feature-packed app, and a secure platform for buying, selling, and holding crypto in Australia.
