RE: Very expensive lessons

in Weekend Experiences11 months ago (edited)

Ah I have this annoying thing on PeakD where if I’ve not interacted with an account I don’t get a notification for things like a tag. I didn’t see this, dubbya tee eff!

I just powered up 50 hive to you, to hopefully help get you back on your feet! Looks like I have to do a few HSBI units as well to get that started :D

I wouldn’t go too hard on yourself, it happens to us all! It’s a lesson and the ones we remember the most are the painful ones.

Good to see you back, I will edit my post about snakes right now and fix the tag!

One of the things I did a few years ago when I thought I was dying (unfortunately not an exaggeration lol, story for another day) I wrote down all the stuff for my wife. I just have to update it since I’ve added a few accounts since then but a piece of paper with the important stuff on it is great to have!

Also - one thing I’m thinking of doing is creating an alt account and sending an encrypted memo to that account with just the active key as the text so that it can be a little insurance if something goes awry, at least you have the memo and the transaction to refer back to so you can power down and change over. Might be easier to just keep it on a piece of paper lol

Hey @cmplxty, Thanks so much, I appreciate it. I felt such such a moron 🤦‍♀ but yes, these things happen and I've made sure it won't happen again. I've now changed my recovery account as well, written out my keys numerous times and stored them in various places.

You thought you were dying? That's scary. I've actually had to get all my affairs in order like that previously as well, where there was a chance I could have died so I get it. It's not a nice feeling to have to do it, but it's better to be pragmatic about these things. It also gives us a new lease on life when we don't die, so that's a positive.

I'm happy I'm back in the saddle, it just feels right 😊
