Hey @PicoParadox,

as far as I know and I’m very sure about it, this bot has no affiliation with the cosmos network. Rather, this looks like a shady Bitcoin Mining Pool. I would recommend you to stay away from it.

Schönen Tag,

It’s a scam. Ignore it. (And don’t send it anything.)

Good to know. There are so many Telegram bots pretending to be official these days. If it isn’t linked from the project’s website or verified channels, I usually avoid it.
