RE: Engineering Update: Condenser Split, Key Backup, MIRA

SteemitWallet.com ...., One of my registered domain names.
Glad Steemit Inc. was able to snag it after I released it.

I realized the domain would be under copyright/trademark laws.., well that and I didn't want to be a prick squatter.

I had originally registered the domain back in 2016 out of ignorance regarding Steem vs. Steemit. :-)

So you are welcome, Steemit inc., for at least not making it all a hassle.
:-P

Now if Anyone would like to offer crypto to me for:

STEEM.BIZ
STEEM.MOBI
STEEMTOKEN.COM
STEEMTOKENS.COM
STEEMWALLETS.COM

Then I am all ears! :)

Cheers Steemians

hey @steemitblog I am worried about the attack vectors of printers and their cache which can be hacked,

In your Blog post here, you write about the backing up of steemit keys by PRINTING Them, a worrying affair

and strongly suggests that they print it out as a backup

The Bitcoin paper wallet community is full of horror stories of having printer caches hacked and since manmy printers KEEP COPIES of what they print and you have all these attack vectors on the way to the printer from teh computer, and how you have to save those keys in a PDF on yoru desktop environment before sending it to a printer, how most people dont even use printers at home anymore and would hve to take their keys to a public printer, probably college kids using school printers, i mean so many attack vectors. cant we just go back to 12 word phrases so people can WRITE DOWN their keys on PAPER?

Or why doesnt Steemit inc open an official partnership with Lastpass or its open source FOSS equivalent OR maybe steem can sponsor the creation of its own lastpass style system for backing up steem keys

Also steem needs a recovery system for inactive accounts where the owner has lost the key, we need to have a recovery partner style person you can set up as your recovery partner if your account has 6 months, 1 year or 2 years of inactivity, then the account ownership is sent to that person or backup account.
