Can you describe and investigate more details ? We can't tag just for domain name. Need more evidence that they are same. If there is no team nothing we can do, it means investors are aware about team. If use fake team then I will be happy to tag them. Domain name could've similar, it's not enough. Report to moderators who are shilling on the thread mod will take action.

Is this hitting two birds with one stone? Or are they using Waves X edited website and that section is being hidden.

You'll find more if you'll examine it. I may update here what will I found. Their source JS is pretty interesting to examine.


EDIT
Correct me if this is to get the private key of a user under the Metamask file folder.

And is it just a coincidence that after two days that Waves X has been exposed they created this fork thingy again?

Bump for visibility!

Go to their website (https://stellar-lightning.org/) > Ctrl + Shift + I > then you'll see why this fork is totally fraud.


You'll notice this section being hidden:

Your PK will never be stolen if you click or go to their website, it will be stolen if you participate on their shitdrops and give your private keys, seeds and whatever you called is private and shouldn't belong to anyone.



Funny to think that their ANN thread is active by some Junior Members doing a question and answer portion. They considered it as an airdrop yet the Github of it has no activity yet or no commit when in fact this fork will happen 4 days from now.
