RE: Accidental Transfer of $150,000+ in STEEM Reveals Web of Connected Accounts
Nothing to see here Jared...
Blocktrades operates an exchange, so many transfers are par for the course.
Early miners will all have many accounts because that is what was required to mine effectively in the early mining phase. Blocktrades was also an early miner.
We don't need any witch-hunts where none are required...
The witch-hunt genre is out of vogue and will only get you powerful enemies.
People should think twice before writing these types of posts that create suspicions where none is required simply out of ignorance.
Better still just make contact with the persons concerned and find out some facts before potentially calling out the crowds with torches and pitchforks.
I'm sure you mean well but this type of post is just going to get people inflamed.
Self upvoted purely for visibility.
That makes sense. That's why I was careful not to make any allegations. I wasnt so much concerned with the multiple accounts (I have a couple myself) as I was the implications of a witness using those accounts to pad their vote. It seems to me that a witness should be held to a higher standard (and thus a higher level of scrutiny). I agree that it seems there is not anything to this beyond an interesting mishap, but as for making powerful enemies, that shouldn't be a factor when we question some of the practices of our witnesses.
