Thank you Lyndsay. Glad you are here and my first comment here. I knew I was coming, but was prompted to hurry by Mr. Sun deciding he gets to decide who I vote for or not. Will be waiting a day or two before checking to see if they have the wallet issues fixed so I can power up my liquid in my wallet (began powering down on Steem a few weeks ago once Justin announced he was going to destroy the chain).

I feel the same optimism now as I felt when I first joined Steemit.

If you use peakd.com, which is the same style frontend as steempeak (created by the same awesome folks) you can use the wallet right away! I logged in with "peaklock". It was very simple to set up, you just have to have your private posting key ready <3

PS I'm glad I was your first comment, that's awesome!

Thank you. I used it (steempeak)last night before being directed to Hive IO. I will need someone more educated to explain to me how the process works of inputting my active key without the owners of the peaklock actually seeing/recording the key. I assume that's the case, but never could understand the concept with Steemconnect so never used that.

The funny thing is if my meager holdings were stolen/destroyed, it wouldn't amount to much, just the principle of the matter, lol.
