@dan, this is remarkable. I haven't read through all the comments yet, but here is my biggest concern:
If a thief gains access to my account and powers-down to try to steal my SP, is that power-down request still set in stone when I recover the account? I.e., even if all my wealth is held in SP, it seems like a thief can effectively destroy my account by powering-down. True, he won't get any of the steam points, but now all of a sudden I don't have any SP because they're powering down for the next 2 years.
My question may actually not be relevant, depending on the answer to my earlier question about the timing of power-down.
from what i see. power down can be canceled at anytime. after 1week or 10. So that's not worrying. Also, if this will work, you'll have access back to your account in a day not 2 years, as much as i understand it at this point!
You can cancel power down.
And there it is. Thanks!
