RE: [Negotiations] Succession of Streemian.com - Reactivation

Revoke posting authority ^. Or disable post promotions here https://streemian.com/profile/platform to stop streemian upvoting on the background with your account.

Yes that is one another option, but we didn't or at least I didn't expect Streemian to use accounts in this way. I left the authorization as I thought they would recover

You didn't expect them to use accounts in a way they disclosed they would use accounts?

If you didn't change your voting weight or revoke authorization, then you gave consent for this to happen.

You are missing the part where they announcement they were dead and sundelly put a seanky post that get half the users vote.

This could all be solves If this post had been set to reject the reward. They would get the visibility without the bad publicou.

In that announcement, they gave notice that a) service could continue if a successor was found, and b) users were still able to revoke the authority you gave them to post on your behalf:

Until a successor is found that wants to continue this service, all operations and services are halted. The login will be kept available, as well as the Lock/Unlock App, so people can safely remove authorization to post on their behalf from their account.

-from Shutdown of Streemian.com

Again, if you didn't change your voting weight or revoke authorization, then you gave tacit consent for this to happen.

Of course it could have been avoided had they rejected the reward. It also could have been avoided if users chose to practice due diligence and educate themselves on a service they chose to use.

Take a note that he is also powering down and transferring funds out of account. Not assuming anything yet, just asking for explanation of suspicious behavior.

Pretty simple explanation: the funds are owned by the company, and the platform is sold. Those funds are not part of the sale and hence they need to be moved out.
For suspicious behavior i should have powered them down instead of having them automatically powered up again, he?

I would have considered including the funds in the price, just to avoid the unhappy fiasco that you are seeing now

hindsight is 20/20 though, you know you would want your steem too.

This is not hindsight, it is pretty obvious that when you upvote using other's account without informing them will invite all kinds of trouble. You could have cashed out your Steem directly from the buyer with his payment. This would not have been an issue, if the upvoting didnt shine a spotlight on the account

For real, who is going to want to use the service with a new owner when we can all now see how easily they can just use all of our accounts after the site had been down and no-one was able to change their voting permissions.

Pretty disgraceful the way they rope their users into voting for them. And the amount of money they've made from it!

Thank you for the post Gregory, sounds like it's time to take cover and run for the hills.

What ever happened with your KMI long position?

You have not spoken about it lately. But you did say today that you are "out of the market".

How long they gonna give the money ?? I really want to know
