Is it safe to store coins in the telegram wallet?

[Mia Chloe]

Have problem face by my friend when purchasing their assets in telegram wallet and all KYC reject there are not possibility any more get restore back their fund. I don't know what happen with telegram wallet after KYC rejecting and the user can't withdraw their fund, its reason for us never store any assets in telegram wallet behind easily got banned with our telegram account have bad possibility with KYC rejected.

I think reasons like this are part of why people are scared of making use of telegram wallets. I haven't really ventured how the whole telegram wallet looks like however I think the best your friend could do is contact their customer support service and if it's possible to move coins to a wallet too without doing any KYC then I believe another suitable option is for him to move those coins to another wallet of his choice suitably an open source one till he can fix his issues with the telegram KYC if not I guess he'll still need to wait till customer support can probably help.

I won't do that to be honest. Telegram wallets are susceptible to attacks and if you have heard about sim swapping attacks then that's your key in understanding why it is very risky.
I know that many are into airdrops and requiring telegram wallets for them to transact and get some better points before any release of the tokens that these projects you're working on.
Small amounts are fine but using it as your main wallet to hold all of your assets is a NO-NO. Long term keeps, use hardware wallets for better security and use only telegram wallets for claiming those airdrops or by doing tasks that requires you to a transaction in the TON network.

You can use any kind of wallet as long you consider the risk of having funds on such kind of wallet, it means that your total assets will not soo affected if your access on this kind of wallet lost. There are many or few uses telegram wallet for p2p purposes, but i would suggest not to store longer on the wallet for safety purposes.

You need to know that Telegram has no customer support for anything. There is only a moderator team that works for Telegram and of course they can't help you get inside your wallet, nor do they want to because their primary function is moderating chats (if Pavel lets them do their job, that is). Because these wallets are non-custodial (I think) meaning only you have the keys to them.

agree with what you say, but in my opinion, actually all wallets are made with well, thought All security and no wallet is made with too little protection. All wallets can be safe or unstable depending on what we do to the wallet we use, because if we cannot keep it well, of course, at any time, we can be the funds we keep there will move.
But if the telegram wallet is because it is connected to our telephone number, controlled by a third party, then maybe just this time I see a wallet that is a bit vulnerable, and I agree not to use it to store funds for a long time.

In some countries it is not hard to reissue sim card with someones phone number and get an access to his telegram if persons hasnt set any protection. With that, I would not keep anything valuable on a telegram wallet, or would keep something in a wallet that I dont have full control or dont have full understanding how it works. No one has canceled "not your keys, not your crypto" rule.

I think it's best not to take risks and only use reliable wallets.

Do you mean SIM swap or telecommunication provider who give their customer a phone number that has been abandoned by old customer? Anyway, i believe such attack could be avoided if you enabled two-step verification (2VA), where the attacker also need to know the password. And it's definitely better to use self-custodial wallet since the beginning.

Most CEX p2p requires mobile phones thus this doesn't differ from the rest of CEX p2p platforms requirements, unless you used DEX p2p like bisq. Although, i'm still wary of using it, despite of its being new, less buy/sell order ads, its rates are so low. Last time i checked there with my local currency it has 8-9% difference than the rate of my local currency to usd and to other p2p platforms.

Initially we have to remember not your keys not your coin. And now you can trust the wallets that will give you keys, i mean private keys, because they are decentralized wallets. But I'm not talking about wallets that give keys but they are not decentralized. But I'm not talking about wallets that give keys but they are not decentralized. Wallets where you have to give password that's mean centralize wallet centralize exchanger means control of it to one person. Now you notice whether the Telegram wallet is private or you have to enter your password here. And if there is a private key here then I would say it is decentralized wallet so you can trust it to store your funds.
But if your fund is of huge amount then I don't suggest any hot wallet, in this case I suggest you to use cold wallet.

As far as I know, when creating a wallet on Telegram, the private key is not known, this will be a problem because we cannot control our assets on Telegram. Many also discuss the dangers of storing coins in Telegram wallets and there are many issues that if Telegram is hacked, all the coins in Telegram can be sent by hackers. I will give advice, it is better not to store coins in Telegram wallets, it is dangerous.

Let's keep the issue of Simcard in one corner and discuss the brutality of Telegram wallets and the useless developers. They are making it difficult for people to have access to their wallets. I have a friend that was disturbing me to help him send out the DOGS airdrop he sent to the wallet to an exchange but Telegram disabled his account even though he had done KYC.

Why make people do KYC when you called TON telegram open network and yet people are been verified to have their rewards. Don't use telegram wallet, if you need one, better use Tonkeeper, that's the only decentralized TON wallets I used for some airdrop tasks.

Well now that Pavel Durov's been arrested and being charged....

It theoretically means that the authorities can backdoor the Telegram wallet. In fact, they can do pretty much whatever they want with the app since the code is closed-source and nobody would be able to tell if they hid a landmine in the wallet or not.

So do yourselves a favor, everyone, and just send your TON somewhere else.

Bad ways for accessing to Telegram account must using number phone and in my country Indonesia easily how to duplicate phone number due lack security from provider.
I think Telegram must change their way when accessing telegram account before checking telegram wallet from mobile phone number to email or using 2FA.
Beside easily with telegram account got banned I think big problem with telegram access by using mobile phone number with number expired or loss it and get difficult recovery if our telegram account have been out from mobile phone access.
