First of all Id like to say hi to everyone who still remembers me, Ive been here all this time watching everything, mainly playing splinterlands but still I was here every day as a reader and many other hive games engager.
While I used to blog here a lot 4 to 8 years ago I stopped with that for lots of reasons at the time, hell I don't even remember the reasons, but unfortunately I stopped and never continued. This will be a short return just to tell you what happened to me and its a very sad story.
My SSD drive with my only backup died and unfortunately not even disk recovery can help me recover private keys saved there, I only have a posting key I saved on different machine which is why I was able to write this.
This is a warning to backup your goddamn Hive Private Keys and to set your recovery to hive.recovery. I haven't done all that even though I had many chances to do so and now Im left with only posting key for all eternity, which means all my Hive and Splinterlands assets are forever locked on hive blokchain unable to be transferred or sold.
This account used to be worth more than 150k $ 4 years ago, I sold crumbs back then, now its worth 8k with Hive and Splinterlands cards, land and SPS, Zing, Crownrend, sim, lots of Hive engine tokens. Well its not worth anything now, its almost fucking unfair that nothing can be done with this. Imagine losing years of work in an instant. Im just saying there needs to be more options for recovery. This will happen again to someone who is worth even more in $value.
Any idea what to do with this account now? Its just web2 now. I can play splinterlands just for fun now lol, glint can still be spent to earn even more glint.
I can stay here and post memes, but I can do that on every other platform. I can start from scratch but that would be way too depressing. Every suggestion is welcome, jokes too, I can use a laugh right now.
Also no need to upvote this because my account is now a new @null.
