7 months ago ...by the way: just because i opened an issue here i got a bunch spam mails trying to convince users to to to certain website and past their seedphrase and PW there via github-mergerequest- and issue-replies from various projects and users (most likely by highjacked profiles). I think this only further exemplifies the importance to have a proper user-communication like stated above.

Of course this is an HTML-eMail and the link does not go to the official wallet-URL... I try to update this comment with further occurences of scam-mails i get via github and report those users accordingly.
Hi Bittensor-Devs,
currently I'm very puzzled about the recent wallet-change, and why there are next to none Informations out there publicly accessible (maybe they are via discord, don't know, but I wouldn't consider discord as an easy accessible public ressource).
Until now i used (and still do) the web-based wallet, accessible at
https://wallet.bittensor.com/. For me it works fine (even tough I'd like to see support for the most used hardware wallets out there).However. Currently the Bittensor mainpage lists in it's headerlinks under
https://bittensor.com/walletstates, that the webwallet will become abandoned in about a month and only this new, shiny chrome-based extension with a single digit number of comments and a handful (sub 1k) of users is the only supported wallet from then on.due to the fact, that TAO recently became a very valuable asset (leaving the usecase itself aside for a moment here), the wallets users own are often worth a little fortune right now, and if i were a scammer, I'd thy exactly this: Try to convince people to use my wallet instead, and try to sell it as official.
I'd be really glad, if the opentensor-foundation would do a little more here to guide users (aside from the primary target audience) to not get pulled off, and make things that are important to all wallet-owners much more available in all prominent places (coinmarketcap/coingecko-links, twitter/x, official website and docs and github at least).
Beside that, i haven't seen yet a repository for the chrome extension wallet here yet. Why is this the case, or did I miss something?
Ah yes, and the dev-docs at
https://docs.bittensor.com/still lists the old wallet in the head-row-links, not the new one. Also the web-based wallet itself does not say anywhere on it's front-page, that it will become obsolete (it this is the case after all...)(yes, i know, this is not the "ideal" place to put an issue like this, but it's the next best thing I suppose... I'd really appreciate some more open communication regarding things relevant to all wallet-owners)
