Supported.

Don't believe in it just because it is advertised as a fork/airdrop of XLM - just because they are doing this does not guarantee their legitimacy or security in any way.

Instead, see through what their intentions are. They do not need your private keys to distribute funds through an airdrop, yet they choose to do it this way. Why? Because they were never a legit fork of XLM to begin with and their ulterior motive is to steal your funds. Never provide a third party with your private key, especially when it has funds in it (which has to be the case for you to receive the the airdrop).

Also, I wouldn't recommend downloading anything from their github repos, including software that they release. Might contain malware for all you know.

This is a scam project that asks for Stellar private key on their phishing site

Already have a scam thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5154525.0

This is not SCAM

Their response to the accusation is comical, but I can't believe in the amount of shills they've got in the form of bounty hunters still doing jobs for them despite the warnings. Absurd.  Roll Eyes
