RE: I dissected Streemian.com's user account creation privacy and security code live in a public chat room & found out it's all good!
Honestly, here's the proof I'm not an "insider" defending this app lol. I have no idea what the full range of streemians offerings are. I was in the middle of signing up for the whole Minnow Support Project when this came up in chat, and I dove in to reading code. I know all about how their login auth works, but I have far less idea what they actually sell. I just know that they cannot take over my steemit account or play with muh moneez ;) I could undo or delete anything else they could do, so... who cares? More or less? right?
Lol, well I really appreciate the research and the post, because I was not going to join until I felt good about it. I really don't understand it all, but you really seem to have checked all the bases. I assume you've joined already? My last question about Streemian is regarding being able to cancel or deregister should we decide to. In your findings, did that seem like an easy thing to do?
I joined last night. I must honestly admit I don't know about cancellation. But let's take the example there is a kill switch on your account. Unfortunately they would be storing their personalized key on their side for the operation of their services, and cancelling your account may disable your access to their site, if cancelling IS an option, but I cannot see from outside that they delete their personalized RPC key or not. Again, my position after 30 years in software though, is that is doesn't really matter. If they abused this, so many people would complain to steemit so fast that steemit would kill their RPC keys, and if they don't well, they were never malicious to begin with. Also, if they did, you'd see the activity in your account. They couldn't hide it. It's bad business and there is no valuable reason to "hack" you in the first place. Occam's razor. No reward, no reason to hack. And there is no reward available to them to do so.
Got it. Thank you SOOO much for all the info and answering my questions!! Talk to you soon and have a great night!
The pleasure is all mine! I love to help out wherever I can!
