After he discovered the hack he wrote: I am revoking all delegations
This screenshot shows that this is not true. I haven't checked all his accounts, but on @scilwa you can see that:
r2cornell withdrew the delegations before the hack occurred
He then sent 200K BLURT from scilwa to r2cornell (2023/11/28 - before the hack)
Also before the hack he start powering down rest of his funds:
scilwa start power down 250215.676 BP 2023/12/01
now some questions;
why did the hacker only steal 241481 BLURT? There were at least 200K BLURT more in the account (transfer from scilwa)
why the hacker transferred 1 BLURT to his account (richardman) and waited 12 minutes before transferring the rest of the stolen amount?
(r2cornell transfer 241481.417 BLURT to richardman 2023/12/01 08:44:0335,091,808 | 459d845
r2cornell transfer 1,000 BLURT to richardman 2023/12/01 08:32:3935,091,585 | 4bb536b)
I'm not saying @r2cornell is @richardman and this hack is an "inside job" , but this is all very suspicious and requires an answer and confirmation from r2cornell, who has not written a word about what happened
EDIT: it was 20K not 200K so it makes more sense
EDIT: it was 20K not 200K so it makes more sense, but un-delegating BP and powering down all funds says to me that he was preparing for leaving this chain for a long time before the hack
very accurate observations. It's good that you did better research, but unfortunately I haven't had time for it lately.
So it turns out that he played the bluff and intended to ruin us. because somehow the way he presented it suggested that there was something wrong with Blurt's security. Because withdrawing from somewhere after the theft is a suggestion that it was the portal's fault.
The question is whether, if so, it was his unintentional action in which he simply came up with such a bluff to justify his withdrawal, or did someone suggest it to him, e.g. from competing blockchains on which this guy also earns quite a lot, just to knock us off before the boom?
Where on earth did you get that I was suggesting something was wrong with Blurt's security. I reported the theft in hopes we could figure out what happened. I never placed any blame on Blurt, only the thief. By my reporting his account got blocked.
I would appreciate it you would stop trying to make it sound like I was the thief. You even said that person was a scammer for a long time on other platforms.
My projects on other platforms, like Blurt were to support those who got little or no support from others. I have tried to stay above the petty bickering between all competing platforms. It serves no purpose.
50% of my earnings on the 3 platforms go to my curators. That is why some of them have stayed with me all these years.
I have explained elsewhere what I was doing with power-downs before the theft. The full powerdown took place after the theft when I was emotionally upset. Not sure may would not be upset if they just lost 240,000 plus Blurt.
I also wrote in a comment below that it could have been different and that the thief took advantage of noticing your powerdown. he hid and on the day the funds were withdrawn he broke in and transferred them.
As I replied to you below. These speculations about the veracity of the claim arose because you made the decision to withdraw shortly thereafter, and this would suggest that you blame us because if you considered that your security had been breached, most people would most likely want to try to find out the truth before making such a decision, and not from it immediately withdrew.
although it could also be that the fraudster noticed that the cornell was powerdowning some of the funds and simply took advantage of it. Because it is known that the most dangerous time for a hack is when the funds are withdrawn. Then they can be easily transferred quickly. For example, I also triggered full powerdown many times to withdraw 1/4 of the stake and then cancel the rest and leave it.
Powering down all funds took place after the theft. Look at the other accounts. Do complete research before making such statements. @scilwa was being powered down before because it was no longer being used as a curation account. I did not want to deal with that account anymore and was simplifying. Some of the power-down was to be shifted to the other accounts, and yes I was selling small amounts. I was selling a little Hive and steem too. Hell, I was selling small amounts of BTC and BCH too as the prices of those pushed up. Investments in crypto is just that. I sell other investments outside the blockchain realm too. I like taking profits from time to time and reallocate where needed.
Just in case you do not know the active curation accounts prior to the theft were: @r2cornell, @r2cornell-curate, and @dsc-r2cornell. For the record I had not been in the r2cornell account for awhile, so I was not aware of a full power-down taking place prior to the theft. I cancelled the power-down when I noticed the theft, and reported it. It should show in the wallet. I am not about to dignify any of this by double checking. I know I did not start it and when I saw the money moved out I immediately cancelled. Later when emotions got the better of me (after changing password/keys) I started a full power down in that account and the others.
All this BS of trying to insinuate I did it all is not reflecting well on Blurt. I have tried to make sure I was not blaming Blurt. So, now Blurt users have taken it upon themselves to blame me. I have no clue what happened. Yes I shut down the curation project. Some of my followers have been trying to have me reconsider. I stopped some power-downs. Left some in place with plans to move Blurt to two accounts to simplify things. I still had not made up my mind about the projects future. Now after reading all this crap I have to work back through my emotions so I can make a decision without emotion.
"I'm not saying @r2cornell is @richardman and this hack is an "inside job" , but this is all very suspicious and requires an answer and confirmation from r2cornell, who has not written a word about what happened."
This BS.
