Can Steemit be hacked ? Is our Steem Power really safe ?

in #steemit8 years ago (edited)

Hi Steemians,

I am quite new to Steemit and I locked up a bit BTC in Steem Power with the feeling I want to hold Steem long really long. Now there comes up this thinking how safe steemit is ? (I bet you can calm me down)

Normally I try to hold my crypto on a hardware wallet. Now I wanted to ask for your opinion is Steemit really safe ?

Thank you for calming me down
By the way sitting in the Steemit train feels great

You can use it in a more safe way. Only log in with your posting key, hold your master key offline and only use it on trusted computers, whiteout keylogging possibilities ! And don't forget, Steemit is still in beta, who knows what kind of securities measures will come... 😎

Thank you -straight and honest answer. I appreciate this.

Good contribution! how is it today. the contribution was 8 months ago and is still a beta version: / do you have any information about the future?

I think all man-made is not perfect including steemit. Although later the steemit can close the open bugs . but thank you for sharing and sorry for my bad english

I feel as if it is quite safe, nothing to worry about, unless you have hundreds of thousands of dollars on your account!

There are people with over a million USD in Steem Power. I would not be able to sleep with that amount of crypto not locked up in a HW Wallet.
