Yes, this is a scam. Now can we please stop giving it free publicity?
Does the scammer stand to benefit from the publicity? I'd like to know what tricks people try to pull on me.
Yes, every social media headline that is not unambiguously calling this thing a scam has the possibility of confusing more people. Besides, there are thousands of crypto scams out there today and nothing makes this one more noteworthy than all the rest. We can't have stories about each scam because we'd never be able to post anything else.
I still don't get it. What does the scammer gain?
Can you describe your crypto holdings?

With all these forks I am confused. Are the forkers just issuing to themselves a generous 'premine'?
I thought they wanted to 'reclaim' Satoshi coins? When I first read about that, it reminded me of Margaret Thatcher: "The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other peoples' money."
They don't even pretend they are concerned about the destabilizing effect of large balances. Sad.

What is going on? There seems to be more than few of those addresses. Not sure how many would be in the code.
EDIT : Nothing to see here.
Apparently, they are trying to run a scam.
