RE: A conversation with Steemit HACKER @accounttransfers & IMPORTANT SECURITY SUGGESTION for EVERYONE!

in #steemit7 years ago

The "Transfer To Savings" is where you are supposed to move Steem or Steem Dollars that you intend to hold for a while. It takes 3.5 days to get those out of savings, and what I understood was that this was supposed to be enough time to recover your account if you need to.

But it appears that 3.5 days just isn't long enough in many cases.

Thanks for sharing your whole experience and what you have learned with everybody.

This is true. Keep the majority of your money in SP then. I only keep SBD and Savings when I know that money will be needed in the near future to pay for some service or give to some charity. Right now I have almost 1K in it, but it is because I'm preparing to pay a large bill in the near future. :) Otherwise, I would never have that much in SBD.

Good point. Though as you say 3.5 days may not be long enough. It wouldn't have been long enough in my case... though this was a slightly different situation to the norm. Assuming everyone else has access to the email with which they set up their account.

Thanks as always for your support & encouragement 🙏🏻
