Why is it that I keep getting locked out of my account? I have bared with it for 24 hours to be locked out 21 times now on this profile but now my @steemitbc profile having the same exact issue constantly. So its not my delegated SP nor anything I been told so far. Maybe this doesn't effect everyone but in the last 24 hours its clearly effecting a lot of people after hearing from a bunch of them. I am not going to slap a photo or clean this post up to fancy it up for money because lately money doesn't come in through Steemit anyways but constantly being locked out from an account I put hard earned finances into it, is ticking me the hell off here pretty fast at this stage.
So what is the deal? Does anyone have an actual solid answer to this situation or is it not being understood that there is something seriously wrong with our accounts?
Im sorry to hear this is happening to you. It must be extreemly fustrating
It is really frustrating. So much I am rethinking this platform completely if someone doesn't come out with some info fast. I am sorry I was actually going to do a featured steemian on you today but I can't get into the account long enough to post anything. I will fight that situation and try to get it up for you. Actually sent you an alert in the Slack general area because I selected you for today and wanted to apologize for this issue effecting my ability to get it done for you.
Not having the same problem. That sucks though.
I thought this maybe had something to due with me delegating power but I found out from other users its happening to them with a ton of SP and no delegation. Now its hitting my delegated account over at @steemitbc and I haven't been allowed in there to do anything for an hour with bandwidth exceeded messages, that is got plenty of SP so makes no sense. Not sure what is up but needless to say being constantly locked out from doing anything and cutting into earnings plus holding my coins hostage is not making me nor the 30 other people I have met so far with this same issue to happy. Post payouts nose dived before the crash for me, then the price dip and now the constant bugs has me not so sure what to think at this stage. Hopefully someone says do this and its fixed soon lol
I had this too when I used two accounts. I think changing between accounts leads to this
I thought maybe something do to with that but about 30 people came to me with the same issue and pretty much all of them are with only 1 account. If that is the case though I may cash out one of them lol....not feeling to safe keeping money in Steemit at this stage anymore. We lost quite a few people due to this issue, I tried to talk a good friend out of leaving Steemit not but a few hours ago but he has officially powered down and don't think he is coming back. This is serious and I hope someone explains what it is because an issue to lock you from your own funds is not going to look too good if it keeps going on.
What the crap? Really? That sounds so annoying!! Didn't happen to me so far, but if you talked to other people and it did then yes, it seems like something is seriously wrong :/
I think I have met around 30 people with this issue constantly happen and you might as well count me as an extra 3 because all 3 of my accounts here are constantly getting that bandwidth exceeded issue. Can't touch my @steemitbc one now over an hour. Definitely have enough SP but it keeps asking me to put more on my account to unlock it, feeling pretty extorted out of finances at this stage so not putting anymore on it.
Man.. that is EXTREMELY TROUBLING, to me at least, to read that you are receiving notifications from Steemit which ask you put more (buy more?? or power up??) Steem Power into your account in order to get your account unlocked.
I agree this one is really troubling. 4 more times since I post this. I think I am about ready to tap out and just use this as a hobby thing and wait it out with less investments into it til they get out of BETA. Its just not making sense to me anymore to risk my money in here with it locking me out so constantly. I will look more into this but this maybe my last post for a long time. Just not feeling too good about this anymore
Really?! Oh my, then it is serious indeed.... :/ Can't you report it somewhere? Maybe it's a flaw in the system or a bug/ virus or something... I'm not the super-tech person, but this is the only thing I can think of ... :( Good luck and let us know how it goes 'cause it might affect all of us sooner or later...
Maybe we have attacks happening? not so sure but rumors are hitting my Slack community with that due to them having issues growing as well. I will see what i can dig up, I am not so sure who we would even go to with support issues. Seems to me there is kind of this weird community support system but nothing officialized
Hmmm... Since you're more of a tech person than me -clearly...and most people are haha- you can look into this more in depth... Let me know what you find out!!!
I will, so far all I hear is speculation but if I find something solid I will let you know and announce it. Was locked out again lol....getting to the point I think I will just take a week off and pray when I return its normal again lol
Did you recently update your password? If so, I would say you are logged on somewhere with a token that is not up to date. If not it is probably someone trying to log on to your account.
No recent password updates but I keep hearing this is happening due to me delegating my SP to my projects account. Issue with that is I keep refeeding this one more SP off the markets but then it goes right back to the bandwidth exceeded issue. But now its happening to my other account and I been with that issue now for over an hour which is seeming to constantly go back and forth. We lost a few minnows today due to this, have a few friends that told me they are done. So its happening out there past myself so I hope they get this fixed or announce something. I hope its not people trying to hack Steemit
Keep calm!
There is something afoot and I think it is bigger than Steemit.
Somebody out there is rattled.
You are too valuable a part of this to give up, though I totally understand your frustrations my friend.
Either someone is trying to get into accounts or there is a huge flaw here and its being not look on as a big issue because its hitting lower SP accounts. That is going to drag me off this platform though, well with this account. I am not going to stop doing the SBC thing but I am seriously thinking a few more lock outs and that delegation stops and I am powering down to invest the SP in something tangible like maybe more miners to feed SBC so there is a bigger stream to build that up with. 24 times now, since I wrote this it locked up with bandwidth exceeded limit and wanted more SP but I have no more to give financially. So I suspect I will keep seeing this till something is told publicly on what is going on. I am just tired my friend. I have worked hard here, took my time to really put great content out and I have literally nose dived. I am getting $20 a week at this stage off of this account so the community has spoken, its just not profitable to continue on here with this one. Maybe its for the best so I can focus on SBC fully and look at the PIVX stuff as well
Totally understand.
I would suggest easing back and trying to find through other means what might be going on here in the background.
The support certainly seems limited as does the needed improvements all round as if the site has been almost left to tick over.
Perhaps it has and they are all fretting over the segwit.
I'm just going to sit and play on here until then and make a judgement about if it is worth my time.
I don't have anything like what you have invested and I won't lose any sleep if mine disappears, but I really do want this to succeed for all of us.
We shall all know soon enough I reckon.
That is what I am thinking, dabble here in play and take it less serious and cash out for now to take my money earnings side more serious to survive. Not quit but definitely not bank so much into this anymore. I just got locked out 3 more times since I last commented you, dude that is enough for me. I think I will take the delegation off and power down tonight. I will still do SBC for you guys and maybe get a few more miners with my power down cash outs so I can feed that account on a more autopilot way. When they get their system a bit more together I will return to using this account but its just not worth the time and headaches for me anymore. Steemit is really needing some serious fixing before I can back it up financially.
Dude whats up with your steem power? Is that big negative due to delegation? Just trying to help and i noticed that...
yea I delegated some, well most of it to my @steemitbc project but that isn't the issue. I have plenty left over for this not to happen. Its happening to a lot of other people so I am lost on what is going on. Just got locked out again for 30 minutes. Telling you I maybe folding up the old Steemit lawn chair and venturing into the blue if it keeps happening, I am not feeling safe having my money in an account that keeps getting locked out. Trying hard to bare with it but 24+ Hours of this has me thinking this has become very dangerous for me to trust
