RE: Automated votes abuse on SteemConnect?
@jefpatat SteemConnect was never blamed. Totally the opposite. You have evidences in Discord and in this post https://steemit.com/utopian-io/@utopian-io/utopian-io-hack-may-3rd-may-4th-2018-no-wallets-or-keys-compromised.
@elear Maybe I worded my comment incorrectly. Please not I explicitely mentioned 'I don't want to play blame games'. You know I value you and Utopian. I was there to help at the very start, remember? Before the official announcement came there was a lot of FUD going around, both on Discord and in steem blog posts. It was not clear if the issue was with one of the apps that use SteemConnect or if the issue was with SteemConnect itself. All over the place it was advised to revoke all tokens, not only for Utopian. So, I didn't imply to say SteemConnect was directly blamed by you guys but it got a lot of negative publicity. That's most probably the very reason for this post. In the meantime your post has been updated to refer to this post.
SteemConnect is something very important to the ecosystem and there was no (big) issue with it. At the time of writing I missed some emphasis on this. But then again, you are correct you shouldn't emphasize on negative publicity for SteemConnect if you didn't initiate it yourself.
I would never harm SteemConnect or Busy even by mistake. They have been a great help for us. There was uncertainty and people made guesses. I made sure the post removed any chance for users to guess the problem was SC.
