RE: 💡Steemit in a minute #6 Who are your most important upvoters

Yo im just a cook, but that link doesnt have the green http thing before the address... yet you show the link as http:// - this is suspect or I am overly paranoid?

Thank you for reading. All the links in my post are working well. Alternatively, you may also google steemreport and see how it works.

Yeah np dude, my question was not about the functionality of the links at all though but are about the trustworthiness of them. Providing me with another way to click the link wasnt inspiring confidence; However! I did decide to read about http vs https on my own.

I have trivial programming/admin/etc knowledge and honestly am curious if there is a reason you chose not to use https for something you plug username data at least into. Only trying to learn something.

I didn't aware that was a question about http or s. Well, it is generally a good practice to do everything on https. For the particular case of steemreports, it does not involve any sensitive data. Data on steem blockchain is openly accessible for everyone reading. e.g. You may see how much money in my wallet and vice versa. There is no secret (and no privacy to a certain extent) at all. But it definitely works on https as well.
