CAUTION : HAVE ALTERNATIVE SAVING FILES FOR YOUR KEYS ASIDE YOUR PDF FILE || 9596 TRON LOST FOR LOSING MY TRON PRIVATE KEY IN MY PDF
I would have shared this with you since I speak in grievance for losing 9596 Tron, which might be equivalent to 1,900 Steem; closely to 2,000 Steem. But I have say it for the sake of Newbies or any member who maybe a victim.
Thanks to Mr. Frankenstein Victor; one of the generous Steemit Team on Discord who has been my supporter and advisor when it comes to seeking info concerning challenges I face on Steem.
For almost 7 Months my Tron Private key disappeared from my PDF file. I was unsure I deleted it. What I remember was changing my phone for new one. Even with that, the old one that stored my Tron Private Keys in the PDF still exist. But I can actually describe the cause of losing the Tron Private Keys from my PDF, this is indeed a mystery for me. Since many old documents way back 2018 are still found in the PDF, yet I didn't find.
As I said, I fell on Mr. Frankenstein for help if I could retrieve it by any possible means. I did some back of files in case it was actually deleted. He gave me some app to try, but I couldn't get. I saw the situation could worsen things and I would continue to lose some Tron if I don't generate a new Tron Wallet. This made me generate a new Tron Wallet to receive new Tron rewards. As soon as I did, all my Tron funds wiped off. This was indeed very difficult decision I took, since that Tron worth of 1,900 Steem could have been use to increase my Steem power. But I have started over with only 73 Tron.
I thought the PDF is trusted place for keeping documents permanently. So, I refused to save my Tron Private Key somewhere. That caused me all this great lost of tron assets. The PDF isn't safe, so I would entreat Steemians to have many alternative ways of saving their keys, else, you would one day regret as I have regretted.
On more serious note, I thought the Tron Wallet is like Steem wallet where all other keys can be retrieve in as much as one had the Master key. This isn't the case in Tron Wallet. Once the Tron Private key is generated in the PDF, you can't get it in the Steem wallet. I believe developers should look into this again and fuse it as we have in Steem.
Now that I have been successfully generated the new Tron Wallet, I have safely kept my Tron Private key somewhere aside the PDF. I am about keeping my documents well and highly protected. I hope you really learnt something. Thanks for your attention!
Ohh
I think this is the best post I would even see.
Sir, I'm a victim of this, I lost my Tron keys😔 even now I don't know how to recover it.
Please is it possible to reset it with my steem master key?
Sure boss. I have really learnt a lot @oppongk . I encountered similar issue but my own had to do with password. Because it had been 2018 and my phone was changed and retrieving it was a head pain. Thank you for this notice. You have said it all . I will personally keep my things well.
@juzkid
So have recovered your Master password? That's the most important one. When you have it you can retrieve all the rest of your password.
My pleasure 😃
Sure thanks
This is so bad and hard to accept. I understand that feeling, it's really a bad one.
Thanks for sharing, I hope everyone gets to take precautions by safeguarding their keys other than just the pdf.
Don't worry, you will generate more trx in subsequent times, though it might take a little while.
Thanks so much @talkofaith for your encouragement. Yes, I will generate more soon, though it hurt. As a man, I should swallow the bitter pills.
My pleasure 😃.
I'm sorry to hear about that, such a shame. Thanks for posting about it though, at the very least others can learn from it
I'm crying for you 😢😭 😢
too bad bro, and I think we all learn something from post...
Thus quite unfortunate to hear, $900 worth of tron which could have bought steem to powerup just went down the train, sorry about that though I hope after resetting your keys are saved and secured well now?
This is is not a good one to here at all. Sorry for losing such a great amount.
I am greatful for taking it upon yourself to give us this important problem that can happen to anyone.
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks very much edmund.net, yes, we should all learnt to protect our assets.
It's very unfortunate, and it's good to give education about this, thank you
This is so sad, but thanks for educating us on this, I will surely take precaution on this.
