Please see my post history if you are unaware of the previous information I shared a few weeks ago.

It was brought to my attention today that another Dread user has been conned by the user/group /u/Thotbot by using the Feather wallet and by extension Morphscript and Morphtoken. You can see that post here⚠️.

In addition to that disturbing revelation it appears that the Feather wallet scammers have pretended to remove the XMRto service from the program as you can see on the "repository" (not the one they really use to compile the program) here⚠️.

If you decide to visit the repository I highly suggest using a disposable Whonix VM from inside Qubes as the repository website may execute malicious Javascript if you don't have it turned off, though this has not been tested fully.

Whatever you do, do not download Feather under any circumstances. The binaries being distributed may contain XMR stealing malware via the XMRto and Morphtoken exchange function. In addition, it may also include malware to search and steal other cryptocurrencies from the same drive (e.g. from wallets such as Electrum or MetaMask).

I kindly ask this post not be removed for spreading FUD as it is simply the facts and the facts only. Shakyboots was responsible for removing much of my account's content as they may be getting a kickback for introducing people to the XMR stealing wallet. I ask that /u/Paris please investigates this.

I can't believe I'm wasting my time responding to this. All your accusations are false. Here is a timeline of events in regards to MorphToken: 2 November 2020 The first report comes in that MorphToken may withhold funds until support is contacted. I respond a few days later that I remain cautiously optimistic⚠️ as it hasn't been the first time in their 3 year run that they've had temporary issues. It is worth mentioning that up until this point MorphToken had built up a reputation for their quick support and reliable service. 11 November 2020 MorphToken was added⚠️ to Feather as an alternative to XMR.to in responsive to their blogpost⚠️ about increased IP blocking efforts. 12 December 2020 I lose faith in MorphToken⚠️ and tell people to start looking for alternatives after having received multiple credible reports from users getting their funds withheld until support is contacted and add a warning to the wiki⚠️. 17 December 2020 The first reports⚠️ come in that MorphToken started blocking all Tor exits 20 December 2020 MorphToken was removed⚠️ from the source code 25 December 2020 Beta-3 is released⚠️ which no longer included MorphToken There have been no reports of users losing funds with MorphToken. From the reports I received, when asked to enter into contact with support you are given the option to get your deposit refunded. have pretended to remove the XMRto service No. It's still in the repository⚠️ and I never pretended to remove it. XMR.to is not a scam⚠️. If you have evidence that suggests otherwise it will be removed. The binaries being distributed may contain XMR stealing malware via the XMRto and Morphtoken exchange function. Did you know that the Feather linux release binary is reproducible? That means you can compile the source code yourself and get exactly the same binary! Go ahead, give it a spin. The instructions are here⚠️. If your accusations are correct there must be a backdoor somewhere in the source code. The burden of proof is on you now. Point me out the line of code that supposedly steals your money and I'll send you 100 XMR.
