Good advice! Now I'm not sure if the desktop client could've helped me in that specific case. What actually happened was that I copy pasted my key into the field of smartsteem's vote buying tool where actually the article's URL belonged. So instead of sending the URL to smartmarket's wallet, I sent them my key. I've emailed @therealwolf, maybe we can prevent others from being as stupid as I was, implementing a tool that double checks the information provided in that field. So if it wasn't an URL (which is easy to check), then the operation wouldn't be done.
Again, it was 100% my fault to send the wrong data, yet some additional measures to protect people can't ever hurt I guess...:-)
Thanks for stopping by @aggroed!!
Thanks for explaining what you actually did @surfermarly. I was going to leave a comment and ask you to post a screenshot so I could understand it.
It's really helpful to know that you copied and pasted a key into the field where you should have put a URL.
I really hope smartmarket make the changes you suggest. It's not a big deal for them but a huge one for users.
Glad to hear it was only a small amount you lost. 😊
