STREEMIAN.COM - can't unlock !

in streemian •  8 years ago 

This is what I found:

I've got really confused...
I can not in any way to unlock my acct on STREEMIAN.COM. I've stuck here:

First i understood it unlocks with my POSTING key.
I have tried both the public and the private keys (POSTING) , and nothing works....all i get is error

And then I found this:

So WTF? They ask my OWNER key? The one which controls everything? My all account completely?
This is weird, and looks dangerous.
Looks like a SCAM?
How many people have posted their OWNERS keys already?
I would never ever show this to anybody.
Unless I do not understand things here at all....
Any help?

my though is the same.. that is crazy.. the only way we should save our acc.

as of now... it asks for at least the active key... that's not as bad but still does technically provide access to our wallets...

I am trying to find out what exactly is happening on a technical level. What is "adding new posting authorities" actually doing and why does that need an active key?!

here's what the streemian page says about it:

Since new posting authorities can only be added to your account if the transaction is signed by the active key, it is required that you provide either the password or the active private key to your account. However, because this particular key has access to your funds, we have taken some pre-cautions to prevent your funds from leaving your account...

if anyone could shed some more light on this... or do I have to go digging in the source code now?!

To bad if we as users have to dig in the code. I am not coder, I can't. Best if we could get some attention from the devs

yeah... i am no whiz-kid either... i can read code but it's probably going to take me hours to learn whats going on... I'll keep you updated if I reach any conclusions though!

It's not a scam, but I think it has been broken for a couple weeks. I can't get a response either.

any update on this? My account won't get unlocked

I used both of their apps & got messages from both that it was successful but my account is still locked.

Yeah same here. Any update on your situation?

Streemian fixed it in a few days.

I think it's a scam. I don't get verification of a streemian account and they don't reply to my emails.

giving away OWNER passw is just like giving to someone a full access to your account. And naturally, to all money in it. That is how I understand this

yes and also that, indeed
