Recovering your hacked account with a local MS Windows Steem Wallet

Hmm...I get the message that miners and witnesses are not configured on the first CMD window, and the cli_wallet CMD window just keeps saying head_block_age is 24 hours old. Do I need to change something in the config.ini file?

"The miner and witnesses not configured" message can be safely ignored.

You may need some seed to speed up syncing. Add the following to the L:\steem\chain\config.ini file.

seed-node = seed.steemed.net:2001
seed-node = seed.cubeconnex.com:2001

(If you need more seed nodes, you can get them here - http://status.steemnodes.com/)

Save the config.ini and restart steemd.exe

Nice, that worked, thank you! Next question -- how do we contact our recovery agent (@steem in my case) without being able to private message? It looks like the slack is down, too...
