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

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

This is the transaction from the example here:

You can see a line "signatures" with a lengthy string. By feeding the this whole operation including the signature as a JSON string in for examples steem-python's transactions.verify() together with your public key, you'll know if it was you.

So it's all pretty technical and not easily visible , but at least it's there :/

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.

yes, it wasn't him, it was signed by steemconnects private posting key.
