What does the official client (cli daemon) does with "adxprts.com"? This doesn't sound very private, rather fishy and suspicious.

Code:

I block the adxprtz "Service" at the DNS level, that's why it triggers the errors, else a user probably wouldn't see this notice and get any form of notification about adxprts tracking. I tried the official binaries for Mac OS X (not an own build). What I find very suspicious that there's no hint about adxprtz in the official Stellite GitHub repository, so this is something that must have been slapped onto the builds w/o official commit to the repository.

Obviously my trust in this coin and the provided binaries is now quite non-existent after this discovery.  Angry
