RE: FREE Byteball Airdrop To Steemians!!!! (Bot Working Again)

in #byteball6 years ago

just discovering this all...

linking via SteemConnect doesn't pose any sort of privacy/security issues/threats, does it?

just wanna make 100% sure all is legit before linking accounts...

Sort:  

Really when it boils down to it everything has a certain amount of risk. Like the main STEEM wallet being a web interface for instance. Browsers always touch the Internet and are inherently more insecure than a hardware wallet for instance. SteemConnect is pretty safe and pretty proven as a lot of us have used it to connect to DTube, DLive, Busy.org.

That being said I always use my Private Posting key when I SteemConnect so that if something was compromised somehow all a person would be able to do with my account would be to post and vote but they wouldn't have wallet access or the ability to change my password.

Kool. Golden tip. 🙏

Don't worry, there are no security issues.
About privacy, the bot will ask if you want to store your username private (in your own wallet and only a hash is published) or public (details visible in the Byteball DAG).
