Witness Update Report #10

Happy dance and champaign all round we are rank 49 as of yesterday, so a big thank you to everyone who voted for the Adsactly-Witness, we can't do any of this without this amazing steemit community. We would especially like to thank those members who have taken the initiative and have been actively promoting the witness within the community. The witness server has been running without a hitch as well as the prices feed, and not a block have been missed. All in all it has been a fairly quiet week on our witness front, and still no news of when we could be expecting HF20.

Please take a moment to read our Witness Proposal, and if you support the same fundamentals and vision as we do for the future of the Steemit community, please consider voting for us as witness here.

ADSactly Education :

We have decided that as part of our weekly Witness Report post, we will be choosing different technical topics to discuss.

Please feel free to request a topic in the comment section.

Secure your Steemit.com password

One of the main reason users are losing their STEEM / SBD is because they forgot their Active Password.
Here are some simple rules to keep your password safe.

Rule number one: Keep your password encrypted.

Keep your password in a safe place. Avoid using any basic text editor; if someone hacks your machine, your password will not be encrypted!
Instead, you can use an open-source software named KeePass which is free and use SHA-256 to hash your master key. No attacks are known yet against SHA-256.

Rule number two: Keep your old passwords

Never delete your old passwords. If for any reason you want to change your current password, and you make a mistake without being aware of it, and you erase it, you will not be available to retrieve it!
Keep all your old password in a safe place to avoid any mistake.

Rule number three: Backup your password

Even if you encrypted your password, you are not immune to someone stealing your computer or of a hard drive malfunction. Backup your encrypted password to multiple places; Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive for example. Even if your Google account got hacked, your password would not be decrypted before you change it.

Rule number four: Keep an eye on what you allow.

Steemit apps such as Utopian, Dmania, Steembottracker use a login tool called SteemConnect. SteemConnect grant access to the app to some functionalities of your account. As time passes, you probably don't remember which App got your account authorization. To revoke any access, go to https://v2.steemconnect.com/dashboard, and in Authorized Apps, you can cancel the access to any app that you do not trust anymore.

Last and most important rule: Change your password at least once every month.

ADSactly

There has been a buzz of activity within our discord server as of late and the new implementation of hosting a daily hangout has just been fantastic. We are getting to know more of our members and getting feed back on how we can help them with projects. When we say help, this does not always mean funding, it means advice or getting them connected with the right people or providing them with platform to get the support of fellow community members. We have also been sharing our communal knowledge with others during these hangouts and we alway make sure to rain out some of the coins which we support, like Okcash, Polytioms and Piggy coin to name a few.

We welcome you to join the society, meet and talk to people, make friends and establish relations with other ADSactly members. You will receive ADSactly community units just for showing up and taking part in our voice hangouts, for helping out with promotions, for helping new members feel welcomed, showing them around and helping them get familiar with the society, for finding new projects that might catch interest of other members. Sometimes even for being generally a good person willing to help others.
