IF you remove your account PLEASE reset your keys/password!

in #shadowbot6 years ago

This goes for not only ShadowBot but ALL systems you give your key(s) to. IF you decide to leave a system such as ShadowBot, you should reset your Password/Keys. Why? Simple! Systems use your key to SIGN transactions. Just like in Bitcoin where there is a mempool where transactions queue up, waiting to be published to the blockchain, systems like ShadowBot can do the same. We may sign a transaction hours even days in advance on the presumption that it will get published. This is how we are able to process soo much information so quickly and handle the ever growing number of users we have!

Remember IF for any reason you want out of a system like ShadowBot, CHANGE YOUR KEYS after you delete the account. This will ensure if the system has any cached valid SIGNED transaction on your account's behalf still stored waiting to be published to the blockchain, they are INVALIDATED. Once you change your key those transactions won't be valid and will be skipped over! This is not just for ShadowBot remember that, this is for ALL systems in crypto!

When in doubt, change you keys/password!

Great advice. I wonder how many Steemit uses don't even realize they can change their key. They should treat it like giving out their password.

Also remember that if you log back into shadowbot to check if your out of the system,(It will sign you up to shadowbot again) If you want to check to see if you're out of the system you can just look at the caster page https://shadowbot.us/shadowbot/casters.php type your name in the text box and see if it shows up.

Please add this point in the post above. This is crucial info.
