When I first looked at Coinos wallet several years ago now I looked at reviews at some platform I think it was trustpilot or the like anyway the reviews were both harsh and looking more closely clearly fake and malicious. There were clusters multiple bad reviews all done on the same day. I made complaint to the platform and some of these obviously fake and malicious reviews were removed. My feeling at the time was that Coinos was being targetted, quite likely by competing wallets- because Coinos offer such a low cost and excellent product and the rentseeking competing wallets cannot compete so they diss instead. I cannot prove this but my hunch is based on the plethora of boosting and touting of other wallets that is found online. My experience using Coinos has been great- its so easy to use and the low fees are amazing- my impression is that it is operated by a true Bitcoin enthusiast- whenever there has been a problem there has been very swift and good support. I suspect that not just the 'bad' and fake online reviews but also potentially some of the attacks on Coinos have been from malicious competitors- but such attacks have ultimately failed (so far) and only make Coinos stronger. While I would never put a very large amount of sats on Coinos I do use it as my primary LN wallet - and yes it requires some trust of the operator and some small risk of the funds deposited- but if we are to build a broader use of sats we need operators like Coinos. Long live Coinos!
