After my big hack last week stealing my 4425 liquid HIVE I was still in the process of changing my keys.

You see on HIVE this was relatively easy. And with this I mean really relatively. Because what you do is you go to you wallet, and there with you master password you are able to change your keys. I tried this initially on hive.blog. Now this isn't easy if you also have Hive keychain working, because it keeps redirecting to it. And with hivesigner it was more annoying because it kept me going in a loop between filling in, hivesiging and getting redirected to the same page. Finally after a couple of tries I sort of gave up and tried from Peakd.com and for some reason that worked like a breeze! Thankfully!

Now in Steem this was just as annoying. I know what you are thinking, why are you even still on Steem, but I was literally using this as an account to milk some nice alt coins from. With using my same blogs I could get some nice side liquid and use this to trade with and accumulate some other funds.

Funds that give me the oppertunity to spread and accumulate some other stuff. So what are you accumulating at this moment? For me this is Rune (Thorchain) Vet (Vechain) and some SXP (Swipe). Why these ones? Because they are still cheap and might have some room in there. VET is a golden oldy but they are working the grind on partnering with governmental stuff. I have a friend who is all in Vet and is always sending updates which kind of make me feel that I need to have some at least.

Rune is a newcomer who has been doing really good and Swipe has something to do with binance and that is never a bad deal I must say. So I was collecting some stuff still over there.

But this just came to an end.

Already also throught the week I was trying to change my password over there but it had seemed I had the same issues as in HIVE with changing the password where the keychain took over.

It was more than annoying to see that this hacker dude got more funds of me by even taken the next powerdown and claiming my rewards and I was really eager to stop him from getting more funds. Not because these small incomes are worth so much (well who knows, I was still accumulating), but more because I don't want this dude to have any more.

So I threw off my keychain and tried changing my password then, and now it seems I had changed it, but I got no new keys. So...I am locked outside the wallet, but luckily most likely also this fucker is. Good riddance. But this meand the definite goodbye of my Steem account, because getting is aint a thing anymore if I can't use the wallet.

Yeah maybe it is also good riddance to me that because my karma was still using steem that I lost my funds...who knows..At least it is said and done now. No more getting in this account, ciao ciao!

Well no more extra acculumation because I don't really want to go and touch my precious HIVE which I still have left. But you know....it is still before the takeoff of BTC and most likely the alts as well, so I might buy some here and there to dollar cost average. What are you buying? Give me some stuff to think about?
