@artemisnorth.com, this is truly an amazing piece of writing, but I wish you hadn’t had to write it!!
I think there still a notion in the Hive community that it’s a slip up out of convenience or a new user’s rookie mistake, or maybe a change in devices that may cause a complete lack of access to one’s account. But none of these situations is you on Hive as @artemisnorth.
I know you to be incredibly tech savvy, security conscious, and a keen watcher of your wallet — not to mention that you’ve been on the chain for nine years, so you are most certainly OG!
I know you to be an obsessive Hive Keychain user, as many of us are. But it never really occurred to me until now how perhaps old habits of password management might leave a door approachable as a security risk.
In your forensic work of determining who was at fault and what exactly happened, I know we’ll all be safer for what you learn.
Our HIVE accounts have a handful of value types inherent in them. Our Hive usernames are part of our identity. Just like the places where we physically live, I firmly believe that HIVE should be a safe place not just for our wallets, but also for how we’re known to our friends.
Thank you for sharing!! ❤️🙏🏽🥰
Thank you for your support!! I appreciate it more than you know. It's funny the other day, on a different platform we were talking about usernames and how we should be showing our face or we aren't taken seriously. You put into words the feeling... my username is my home. It's my identity. Honestly I think it says more about me then I could tell you. AND...I can't always control my face. LOL
Oh, my (almost) sister, especially for the next few days, I can’t show my face!! My username doesn’t look like any big interesting deal, but it is to me.
It’s brilliant and meta that you are @artemisnorth.com.
I’m happy to know ya!!
