RE: My Steemit Saga, part 2
I understand the reasons for security. I think there could be provisions added to this 30 day limit that would protect those who can prove ownership of accounts if they are not successful in recovery for circumstances beyond their control after the time frame ended. It is something worth considering. At the time I tried account recovery during those initial 30 days, no box appeared telling me I had a 30 day limit the way it does today. If it was written in Steemit's protocol, it was not clear to the new user trying to recover his or her account at the time.
You are right. Thinking about it, something like re-enabling the recovery option after a year without outgoing transactions could be a fine solution. I'll try to start an "internal" discussion about it, let's see if it leads anywhere.
//edit: so that's a clear statement. steemit inc feels not responsible. And in some way it's understandable, regarding their workload and the complexity of a change like that. I don't know who else would be capable to modify the recovery feature, which could be a last straw. Good luck.
//edit2: Not so fast! @ned seems to like the idea I proposed. Still good luck! ;)
Thank you. I hope we can come up with a solution that makes everyone happy.
