RE: I used BlockTardes when I came into Steemit- Forced to on the way out.
Now I am uncertain if SteemConnect is part of blocktrades. Either way, that key should not traverse the nic cable that goes to one's router.
I have seen the same request on eSteem, the mobile app and if you switch to advanced sign in mode, it will allow a posting and active entry instead. I have the developer's email address and will bring this up with him.
Lastly, I am glad to see your exchange much more in line with prices on the average prices on other exchanges. I lost thousands using blocktrades when I first powered t is account up into the top 100 on steemwhales (in two weeks), compared to what I would have spent sending bitcoin to Poloniex and then bringing it in $2k per day. But I needed the SP right then to double my power against people who were crushing new comers.
