Not possibly. Those are guaranteed a scam. Stay away from them. Bitcoin core and Electrum would never push an update outside of their official repository and definitely not without signing it. I'm curious as to where did you find these though?

100% scam. There's no reason to give obfuscated command, especially when GitHub allow people to host cryptocurrency code.


That's good question. Although i also wonder i notice more newbie/new account ask whether one or more website/service is real, fake good or bad, where they also include suspicious link.

If any of you has a github account, report those repo's please. It will potentially help protect naive users from being hacked/scammed ...
