Oh and another workaround could be to change url for your cover image in the settings to: https://steemitimages.com/2048x512/https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2015/09/17/10/31/banner-943868_960_720.jpg
And your profile image to: https://steemitimages.com/120x120/https://steemit-production-imageproxy-thumbnail.s3.amazonaws.com/DQmZX1vBWmQW4YPvomvTSpf4DSHHrVLupzWb2kbSSsvx3n2_1680x8400
Would be great if you can try this. But I can do it myself later, too.
I'll keep it in mind if I'm about to use this in the future :)
