RE: A hole in the Blockchain: Steemconnect? (Please take the time it is important)

in #steemit7 years ago

I realise that the douchery is not Steemconnect but without any way to tie the transaction to the douche, it enables more douchery.

Thank for the info. In my opinion, there should be a flag marking the app responsible. If they had followed child porn instead of themselves.. what then? What if another app with permissions used it to false flag a rival app?

Sort:  

I think the problem is that there are currently no ways to distinguish the difference between you or the approvee ... it is as if you yourself instigated the transaction ... it would take a modification of the steemcode i suppose to add hooks or flags to see if the post is 'on behalf of'

yes, well HF20 isn't done yet.

fair point. Let's hope this get's noticed. the more holes that get plugged over time the better.

.

and where would you see this signature key ? I assume it’s in the transaction. How would you cross reference the signing key with the owner ?

the fact that it would be probably to’ve been signed by steemconnect instead of the user would already go a long way I suppose

Ok that sounds at least like it’s traceable and therefor (as OP was looking for) probably that at least it wasn’t himself that instigated the follow transaction.
