RE: How Medium Can Morally Monetize In One Month Using STEEM

in #steem8 years ago

I was under the impression that they blocked the thief and reverted the transactions. You sure you're right? I'm honestly not sure where I'm getting that idea from except some crease deep in the recesses of my unused grey matter.

Sort:  

If you find the old posts about it, they only talk about reimbursements, not transaction rollbacks. Steemit paid for the stolen funds because it was relatively small ($85,000), a benefit of the fact that most Steem was locked up as Steem Power. I believe that Dan also clarified in a post that there was no rollback, but I can't seem to find it now.

We added account recovery to fix stolen accounts. We reimbursed steem for stolen funds.
