RE: Does the Steemit community care about privacy?

in #steemit8 years ago

In the future we will be adding support for confidential transactions. Your Steem Dollars and STEEM balances will be kept private, but your Steem Power must still remain public to support voting / reputation.

Excellent!

Good to know, thanks Dan

I love your engagement with the community! Keep doing what you do!

Interesting targets for hackers can still be detected then by looking at their steem power. This really stays a problem. So security has to be tight.

security in what sense? it really becomes a user level problem I believe- I'm mostly concerned about phishing and malware attacks happening to high value targets

Transparency is very important - Steem Power must still remain public, because is an incentive for voting, but crucially for reputation.

Transparency does NOT need to be sacrificed for Privacy to exist, by any means.
And most certainly not in how it corresponds to Steemit specifically.


Signed,

Agreed. Also it's very hard to add privacy when it wasn't thought of from the start

If you have time, I have some concerns as to the overall outlook of the site once mainstream media establishes a presence here. As the co-founder of the site, I am very interested in your opinion towards the role they will play https://steemit.com/money/@mrzazaful/mainstream-media-influence-in-steemit

I think this is an excellent solution. It is good to know who has influence but IF I had a lot of steem dollars or steem I would not want that to be public.
