RE: The bar has been raised for hive proposals
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I am happy to see a substantial post from you.
"I would like to be able to see a down vote option for each proposal."
I have seen this same sentiment from every rational consideration of the current situation. For small proposals like that you suggest to IronShield, or for the CBRS classroom renovation that has been completed (without DHF funding), such individual downvotes are of critical import, rather than a bar that has to be set to prevent theft of $M's.
It is extremely discouraging that this has happened to IronShield. It is potential to the consensus witnesses to stop the hemorrhage of those funds and restore that account to Ben, but that would set an extraordinary precedent that has been heretofore avoided by the provision of account recovery mechanisms. The failure of those mechanisms is an extremely rare and unfortunate event that seems to be unique to him, and I am quite empathetic - my account has been hacked and was saved by the restoration mechanism being operable, but not without loss of liquid assets - and deeply saddened these mechanisms have been incapable of availing him relief.
Thanks!
PS. Pinging or tagging folks is considered poor form, and you can see how I avoid it in my comment. It is particularly to be discouraged when you make typos in usernames, as you did by referring to 'blockades' instead of 'blocktrades.
I need a bigger keyboard...
I corrected the typo and will keep that in mind too about tagging others. I can see why you say that. It can be annoying sometimes.
It is unfortunate it happened. I hope it reminds people to be more careful how they store their info. I'm not aware of how it happened but giving from the frequency of what normally happens is through some phishing scam. As actually hacking the keys, albeit doable, is extremely difficult even for the expert hacker. So I have read and heard anyways. I don't know code so I can't really say for sure, but the fact that it doesn't happen often in that manner is something to think about and probably a reasonable reason why crypto wallets is safer than the bank.
I think theft would subside substantially if artificial boundaries to abundance was not normalized.
May hive prosper beyond poverty.
So mote it be.
My account has been hacked, but it was through pilot error, which is almost exclusively how 'hacking' is accomplished - simply taking advantage of mistakes people make. For a long time I just used my owner key to post.
Oops! live and learn.
" that would set an extraordinary precedent that has been heretofore avoided by the provision of account recovery mechanisms" If there is a solution that doesn't set any extraordinary precedents, I'm all ears. Otherwise I'm at peace.
I only mentioned it because it was the only possibility I could think of. It is my strong suspicion that, like I did when my account was hacked, you somehow posted your keys and that bots that scour the chain continually for such posts found them there. While that posting may not even be recent, because the blockchain is permanent, it is almost certainly how you have been discomfited.
It is good you have peace. I have undergone - not to be unsympathetic at all - far greater fraud and theft, that occasioned me the opportunity to eventually shed my expectation of entitlement and gain peace. I have learned brutal lessons I did not want to know, such as that if it happens to me it's my fault, and if 'they' can take it from you it was never really yours.
I am sure all I can offer your ears, you well know, as you have that peace.
The expectation of entitlement is dangerous. It usually ends in misery. There is no problem with entitlement itself, if a person is truly entitled. But the expectation (and presumption) of entitlement will often create disappointment. And it messes with the human psyche.
Rather than developing an "entitlement mentality", I want to develop a "gratitude mentality". Grateful for what I have, not longing for what I don't have. I'm not entitled, but I'm grateful. And if I am entitled, I don't want to know about it.
By shedding expectations of entitlement, it does grant a measure of peace.
Can confirm.
While I can relate, we really must acknowledge our equality of rights to the things we are equally entitled to, lest we end up groveling before masters that sell us our air, water, food, and space to reside.
Oh, wait...
LOL Peace of mind is essential, but we are preyed on and must also accept our responsibility, hoist the black flag, and slit throats that need slitting. Life is an act of war, and peace is only truly availed them with the strength to cause our predators more suffering than our stuff is worth if they manage to steal it. It isn't wrong of us to be equally entitled to the blessings God has provided, and to insist depraved megalomaniacs keep their hands out of our pockets.
Carlos Santana once told me, when I pointed out life is an act of war, that of all the living things there are, people can alone make peace, and this is our purpose. That profoundly changed me, I hope for the better, but peace does depend on the ability to inflict too much suffering on our predators to be worth stealing from, and we have a responsibility to mitigate our peace with war, that there might be any peace at all.
