RE: The Most Important Thing I've Learned From Getting HACKED!!
Wowzer. What a wild ride @simplymike!
- I can't imagine and hope to never find out what you just went through.
Still learning about Steemit...
- You can use blocktrades to create a new account?
- Why did you have to go back to them instead of Steemit, for account recovery?
- Thanks in advance...

On Blocktrades, you can indeed choose to buy a Steem account. You can read more about it in this post.
I’m not 100% sure of the entire reason for having to go there, but one poknt for example is that if you go through the SteemIt account recovery process, you are asked for an email address thzt is attached to your account, while you don’t need an email address when buying an acccount through Blocktrades, so you can’t be sent recovery details
Aha!
it would've bit me haha
