I think you are missing something. If you have a wallet with very little or no money attached to it. And the you check for the correspoinding private key. If you find it - you "know" it works and then _might_ be inclined to try the key for a more serious wallet. But if not, then you know this site doesn't work and would have no inclination to try another key. If you enter important passwords or keys into random websites then this isn't about incentive but mere stupidity.
- Ensorceled 5y agoNo, I am not. Follow along: I check my $100 dollar wallet. It's there, doesn't get emptied. Cool, I think! Next day I check my $1000000 wallet. It gets immediately emptied. Alternatively: I check my $100 dollar wallet. It gets emptied. SCAMMER I scream on HN and Twitter. Site gets shutdown. Silly person doesn't check their $1000000 wallet.
