SteemHunt decides to steal tokens from users

In a recent post by @SteemHunt on Steem, they have come out and said they are going to steal HUNT tokens from people who received them in the past.

Currently the list of users they stole tokens from are:

  • roelandp
  • netuoso
  • ausbitbank
  • therealwolf
  • followbtcnews
  • stoodkev
  • themarkymark (and his alt - buildawale)

BuildAWhale was added shortly after I managed to transfer 10K tokens out (the daily limit), they immediately blacklisted that account as well stealing 77K Hunt tokens.

Steem has truly become the place where nothing is safe and stealing tokens is the new thing to do.

In their post, they claim they need to steal Hunt tokens from these users to protect the community. They don't go on to explain how stealing Hunt tokens from users protects the community, or answer comments that ask this direct question. Instead, they are handing out 100% downvotes to comments who question their motives using Steemit Inc delegation.

They have a poll you can vote on inside of SteemHunt, which is dominated by SCT commmunity voting for stealing these tokens.

In fact, as I was the only one voting against it until they saw that and froze my buildawhale account.

Any tokens you own that have any connection to the Steem blockchain are at risk of being frozen and stolen.

They are ERC20 tokens, so once you have them in an ethereum wallet, you can do what you want with them.

Probit exchange has HUNT/USDT trading pair. They also have HIVE/USDT trading pair.

it's really absurd to lock someone's coins for any reason.

If I bought the coins with my money, nobody can block them ... and do they call this decentralization? i am really shocked

HIVE didn´t block anybody? What did I get wrong, your leaders was the first who have done that on Steemit, and the still do it with their blacklist !

But that´s something most of you not take in account, because its a shame too, and let me state it clearly they are the first, no SUN, nobody else has done this before, think about that before criticizing others.

The old Steem-Gang is the only responsable for that mess (and now they all are howling like the wolfs because the other party strikes back, thats what I told you all before -but nobody wants to hear it- bad luck), they decide to take action, not the other party, keep this in mind before answering to my comment.

each reaction corresponds to an action. Sun had decided to turn Steem into a Tron token, without asking for community opinion.

For an action of this magnitude, part of the community decided HF, not inviting a part of those who thought like Sun, being profoundly different from the censorship.

The community is the real success of every project.

really that´s what he´s telling? I don´t find that!

And who knows maybe this was the better option instead of installing this fork, you never know.

And just some words which result in such a heavy action, this so much over reacted, freezing a third-party share for this is still an act of piracy in my eyes ;)

Nice, I guess you believe that, and under other circumstances I would agree with that.
But please keep in mind that I know that it is exactly the opposite, because for my company-accounts opinion I am on your censored list (blacklist) so this is freedom of speech and free opinion, yeah well done ;)

Same here for me. Probit was what I used. Worked pretty well. Good luck with your school 10k tokens. With like $26 at current prices, and there’s an buy order out there for 12k HUNT at 0.0026 so you might be able to get that.

Tradable on daybit and probit. Daybit has hunt/btc pair but requires kyc while probit has hunt/usd pair without any need for kyc.

Steemhunt is a nice concept to have a blockchain version of product hunt but unfortunately, it was hijacked by spammers and abusers. I'm quite sure you will get your token. Some members of the community including myself pressurised them into making a poll.

If you define "scam" with intentions in mind, then you may be right as I can't know theirs. And there are plenty of people striving for money but add value for others who enjoy their product or service. Steemhunt never added value, but instead took it from the reward pool to enrich themselves and spam networks, which is why I considered them scammy imo.

Well they have added some value, at least if compared to dlike. Dlike did nothint while ended up having decent support. Guess we were despret haha

The only platforms that actually added value are those who migrated to hive.
Except splinterland, not sure if they're migrating.

STEEMHunt has always been cancerous, they suxx on every level.

  • Bad Payment for tremendous work
  • Bad Actors by frauding numbers
  • Switching around between chains and company goals by comparing posts written in different languages
  • And the last one: always kneeling for J. Führer Sun

Pathetic.

So unless one has their tokens in ERC-20 wallet, they shouldn't vote against this community poll, else their tokens will be seized. Thanks for the alert!

What an absolute circus this has all turned into! I'm sorry about your tokens... but more than that, I'm just sad to see the entire "dissent will be punished" climate that has arisen.

The spammers are having a field day, of course... not realizing that spam takes away value, and eventually anything spam based ends up having next to zero value. Sadly, I doubt they care since the M.O. of spammers tend to be more like a flock of locusts: When the supply runs out, you merely migrate to a different ecosystem and harvest that, instead.

This might be a little bit off topic, but I'm actually worried about my Splinterlands cards. I reckon they are both on the Steem blockchain as well as on the Hive blockchain, but everything that one gets after the fork will (I presume) still be on the Steem but not on Hive. That's why I haven't been playing Splinterlands for a while.

The pack tokens are fully on Steem, but anything in Steem Monsters is in their own database that is not on either chain.

I believe there will be an option to have your Alpha/Beta tokens on either Steem-Engine or Hive-Engine, but I am not 100% sure on that.

I hope they'll make a complete switch one day. It looks pretty bleak for every dapp trying to support both chains. Even DTube was eventually hurt by the JSteem.

I would personally feel very trapped if I was a Dapp dev on Steem trying to diversify to other blockchains..

I'm sure they will muster up enough support to justify stealing tokens. Even if they lose the poll, I wouldn't count on getting the tokens unlocked. They want to take them, they will take them, just in spite.

Too bad this is happening. I guess that they are so hurt that they are trying to find every option to hurt the Hive community.

And As you say they can take the tokens but that at the end that will not be good for them... They'll just sink deeper...

By their logic, burglars should conduct online polls before breaking into houses.

Once upon a time, I delegated to them based on their promise that their tokens would be convertible to SMT’s (that I could convert to Steem). That promise has died. I have zero knowledge of ETH, ERC-20, or how wallets work in that universe. My 19K HUNT tokens might as well be on the moon.

I actively encourage people to leave a review on Trust Pilot, write blog posts and ensure their reputation is updated to reflect their new scammy ways. Just when you thought the Steem blockchain couldn't get any more pathetic, Justin's delegated lapdogs find new creative ways to make it worse.

All Steem and all tokens are being forced toward Hive. Every move these guys make just causes more people to leave there, sell their tokens and coins, and go 100% on Hive. I'm shocked that Hive hasn't gone up in the past couple weeks... in fact it continues to go down and down. Unreal! I wish I had funds to invest in Hive right now!

Steemit is in a lot of trouble and I don't think anything good will come out of it anymore. They're saying a lot of ridiculous stuff over there too like that Hive is "the most centralized ever" and that the "E" in HIVE stands for "ethic cleansing".

I think the first clue for me something was wrong was when they approved a product that shot out a 4 watt laser beam. I questioned the moderator why that didn't count as a weapon violating the guidelines and provided links to show how dangerous a 4 watt laser was to human eyes and skin. The moderator brushed off my concern.

Then they approved a perpetual motion machine on kickstarter which SURPRISE turned out to be a scam....Then they approved another perpetual motion machine scam.

Then they approved a drone with a flamethrower. I guess at least you can theoretically outrun a flamethrower on a drone while a laser beam blinds and burns your skin at the speed of light.

You equate bid bots to supporting someone doing a hostile take over of the blockchain and illegally using customer funds on exchanges to facilitate that. Look what is left of Steem now, what will it look like in 3-6 months?

All comparaisons deserve consideration, even if it is for exclusion :)
The abuse of bidbots was a hostile takeover of the reward pool and a threat to Steem. I agree with you, the damage was not the same.

These tokens were never enforced by the blockchain rules and the blockchain rules can be easily changed. There is not even a way to obfuscate who owns what because Steem is like Bitshares not like Bitcoin. Now, this has already been done with Steem Power and now Steem tokens itself. I don't think the current Hive witnesses would do this to me but what's to stop a future quorum of evil witnesses from robbing people at random on any bitshares like blockchain with hardforks?

I have to say, token stealing started on STEEM when witnesses froze Justin's stake.

There were good reasons and I am not looking to reopen that debate, but to expect no consequence from a group of people who want to build on a centralized blockchain is naive.

I am lucky to be a small holder of SP and will get away with my powerdown. However, witnesses who take action, freeze accounts and organize forks should expect to lose their STEEM holdings.

This is a war. Kings always stood in the front line in battles because they are the ones who declare the war.

Time to focus on HIVE now, try to get as many STEEM out as possible but consider it lost.
