-----------> Snippet of post can be read below:
It has recently come to our (Splinterlands Team) attention that there is a list of Splinterlands account usernames, passwords, and in some cases private keys, that has been circulating online for some time. In the vast majority of the cases, the data contained only Splinterlands website passwords or posting keys, which do not allow any assets to be transferred out of players' accounts, but there were also some active keys and master passwords.
Protect Your Hive Keys By:
- Use Hive Keychain
- Stake / Lock Assets
- Sign Up for Notifications
- Review Recovery Account
- Change Your Keys
For full details on each suggestion listed under the above Protect Your Hive Keys section click anywhere on this highlighted link and you will be brought to the official Splinterlands post that goes into detail on how to best utilize each protection method.
Frontier Cards
I haven't forgotten my quest for MAX cards. Originally there was no reasoning to what cards I MAX or purchase. I simply just want more MAX cards. However a week or two back I ventured into FRONTIER mode and found it very interesting. This prompted me to have a look at the Frontier Cards market. I purchased a few cards at that time. Looking at my Splinterlands alt account I have some spare credits so its time to purchase another. Looking at the market I can see there is only one of a specific card at MAX level for trade so I think I'll add it to my collection. What card is that? None other than STURDY AXE WARDEN. At the cost of just $0.28 USD I'd be crazy not to purchase it. If I were to use DEC the cost would be 484.35 DEC. However I used credits which are attainable on-site using paypal. The total credit cost was just 280. Lets take a look at the Sturdy Axe Warden Lore.
Sturdy Axe Warden Lore:
----------> Lore taken directly from Splinterlands.
The sturdy axe wardens are proof that in Grimbardun, martial skill knows no gender. These mountain dwarves train from youth in the deep halls beneath the mountains, forging strength and precision through years of mining, sparring, and tradition. Their beaded facial hair may carry the scent of floral oils, but behind the braids are warriors hardened by stone, steel, and stubborn will.
They hail from the Kingdom of Grimbardun, a city-state carved into the Central Fire's Northern Agniavas, where discipline and accuracy are valued as much as brute strength. Grimbardun is home to the original great-axe-throwing contests, and the sturdy axe wardens remain among its most respected champions. Their voices often echo ahead of them on the battlefield, calling out challenges like “Technique over testosterone!” as they enter the fight with axes in hand and grins wide enough to shake a troll’s nerve.
What Is Splinterlands?
Splinterlands is a #play2earn game hosted on the Hive Blockchain. Assets that have real monetary value are used to earn rewards/ more assets in a robust gaming economy. Such assets are tradable on-site or on many different secondary markets such as TribalDex and Hive-Engine. Don't have a Splinterlands account yet. Well you are in luck because I just so happen to have an ambassador code. Clicking it will start the sign up process. What is an ambassadors code?

What Is The Hive Blockchain?
----------------------> As defined by @rentmoney
It's many things including but not limited to: A source for information. A host spot for many play2earn games. A place to build your own business. A place to run a blog account. A place to interact with your online friends. A place to expand your knowledge. Your imagination is the limit to what the Hive Blockchain has to offer and could be to you. Creating and curating content on the Hive Blockchain will give you the opportunity to earn the Blockchains main currencies known as Hive and HBD (Hive Backed Dollars). No financial advice has been given in this post. Do your own research before investing/ spending any of your hard earned currencies.
A Chaos Legion Only Format
I was scrolling the Hive Blockchain like I sometimes do and stumbled upon a post by aftersound where he suggests a CHAOS Legion only Format. In-short a starter league that utilizes CHAOS cards. Why CHAOS you ask? Because CHAOS has the largest supply of cards out of all the sets. Personally I don't see much an issue with such. One of the points that always gets brought up when talking Splinterland cards is their cost. (1) Some believe cards are too costly. (2) Other's think card prices are too favorable and we need to do things to help increase their trade value. What does @rentmoney think? Rentmoney thinks for anyone who believes point (1) CHAOS is staring at you. CHAOS Packs can be purchased for somewhere around 0.30 cents on Tribaldex. If that isn't cost efficient I don't know what is. As for aftersounds idea; I like the idea but I did put a twist on it. Below is my exact comment left on aftersounds post.

A Rentmoney Quote:
I (@rentmoney) like the idea of endless amount of different ranked play formats. The two main battle-fields being rewarded the most, Modern and WILD. I'd take 1/3rd the rewards from Modern and Wild. Create Classic Splinterlands (Alpha + Beta). Set specific battle-fields (UNTAMED/ CHAOS ect). Then take that 1/3rd reward removal and split the rewards between all those set specific ranked battle-fields. This would mean there would be no reward inflation and no value taken from the over-all community. As you mentioned, game liquidity would shrink due to the ranked battles being so specific so let such battlefields be bot infested. I can't believe I just said that as I'm very much anti-bot but as long as we have Modern that is bot free then I see no reason why we can't let bots run wild in these other potential markets.
In the below video aftersound discuss his idea for creating a format that caters specifically to the Chaos Legion set. Visit his full post here: https://hive.blog/hive-13323/@aftersound/a-chaos-legion-only-format-45t#@rentmoney/t4wvbk

We have a lot of security tools on hive it's just not intuitive for a new user
Absolutely.
One of Hive's most awesome features.
I have also read the security warning post and it is very helpful to me
That is good news.
😳 of course there would be a leak here... seems it hits everywhere eventually. Be vigilant! expect breaches.
Agreed,
Where there is monetary value there is bad actors.
It is great practice to change passwords from time to time
Agreed!
The security warning is really important people often forget how crucial it is to keep their Hive keys safe. I also like your idea about a CHAOS Legion only format.
I read it in a post by aftersound and put my own twist on it.
Cheers,
