Hey @yogajill. I'm not the right person for that. The main problems we see are people accidentally posting their passcodes publicly. Obviously that's a very bad idea! So try to reduce the risk of doing that. We're also working on/have implemented some UI changes that help prevent people from doing this, but user error will never go away. Another suggestion would be to use a password manager like dashlane, educate yourself on general computer security (there's nothing anyone can do about your computer getting hacked but you), and only use Steem applications that leverage SteemConnect or that have demonstrated clearly that they handle your keys securely. If you're not comfortable evaluating an application, then steer clear of any that don't use steemconnect. Hope that helps.
I actually agree with you on the term "cryptocurrency!" Unfortunately there is value in using words that people already understand and are comfortable with, so we work with what we have. Thanks for this great comment!
You're a sweetheart! Really appreciate your insight on the topic(s) 😊 and also grateful for your vote of confidence on Steem connect. I have been curious about that too but have not seen much about it. Just wish it would operate with posting key rather than the active key!!
Damn that rancid term 'crypto' it's gotta go!!
We're using the term "token" now more and more, so that's one way to go.
YES!!! Tokens Tokens Tokens!!!! E'ry where tokens 🤣 That's a real good way to go! I am glad to know keen folks such as yourself are thinking about things like this too! Little ripples makes big waves! Put some heat on it you have STEEM! 🌸🌸🌸 powerful force that steem!! Have a fantastic day 😊
