Sad Story How I Lost Bitshares Account

@hipster · 2017-04-29 18:01 · blockchain

Yesterday I was not sufficiently attentive while changing my keys in Bitshares. Instead of changing keys for child account I changed keys for the parent account. As result, I have account hipster with active and owner keys from account hipster. So recursive, wow. Here is proof. I am bit disappointed that neither frontend app nor blockchain itself was not able to understand that user is gonna make stupid mistake.

Want to leave here for history my loss: - 226,599.99403 BTS (2.3 BTC) - 600 BitUSD (0.4 BTC) - 17611 BTS (0.2 BTC) lifetime subscription of account - Future revenue from affiliates - Trust from using this account since inception - priceless

Total about $4k USD which is not huge but sad.

Fortunately, some assets such as SFUND, CFUND and SPIES will be possible to restore due to issuer policy somewhere in the future.

@abit, @xeroc, @roelandp, @xeldal - just curious is there any way to find a solution to restore this account? I understand that this requires hardfork but I don't think I am the only loser who will have such problem in the future.
