Great question!
Grateful to see you tuning in here.
Quite a few reasons some of which may have been solved had I know about busy.org possibilities though still not clear on that either as to if I can do everything there that I do on here.
First being that I lost an ENTIRE post of which I spent hours on, time is money no doubt about that.
Second over the last 4 days or so Steemit.com has had a lot of downtime and there were many hours where I would have been posting but couldn't, nor respond to comments. I had some time sensitive matters to attend to and also have lots of other responsibilities/jobs I attend to in life besides Steemit so have various windows of time I can use Steeemit and not. When its down during those windows I can't attend to various matters.
Also because there has been so much confusion and down time some of my posts of recent have not had the visibility, interaction, comments and up votes as usual.
Plus all this phishing and scam stuff I have some friends like @samstonhill who got hacked and and others affected which has also affected me in various ways. Thankfully my account did not get hacked and I investigated some of phishy stuff instead of falling for it, though thats just even more time.
That reminds me, I wanted to change my password. Any other suggestions from you?
SteemOn!
I don't want to play devil's advocate here but you didn't express what you meant to say. You meant to say you didn't make money that you could have potentially made. We can't lose money we haven't made yet.
Also about the lost post, this has been discussed many times for probably more than a year that no post should be created on Steemit directly and this so for any post on any website.
I'm really sorry you had to learn it the hard way. I've been linking the software markdown pad in all my last 20 posts or so. You should check it out if you are on windows. You'll see how much better it is than creating your post directly on Steemit.
Yes I understand what your saying and don't disagree. Though lots of time was lost and time is $$ as they say or in my case even more valuable. So I did loose even if it wasn't hacked out of my account.
Thanks for all your contributions to this community. Your posts are very well done and informative. There is so much good info here on Steemit that could help so many.
I don't have windows, but have taken pro cations to to make sure that it doesn't happen again.
Thanks for sharing your perspective. It is right on as usual.
I understand that it was a very frustrating situation. Posts are sacred thing and losing them can be terrible. Take care Quin!
Yes it was, but as you know there are ways to mitigate or prevent it. It was MY mistake not anyone else or even Steemits.
That was a big point in my post or at least the point I intended to make. Is that blame doesn't help and I must take responsibility for my life and make it better.
I feel like I did that and thus this was a blessing. I am grateful for all you do its really quite awesome. This community is so revolutionary and all your help and information is a big part of that.
SteemOn!
