Remaking an experiment that was introduced by @forykw
Some time ago (3 years) @forykw created the account @active.key and shared the active key of this account on hive so let's do the same.
Account : @key.active Active key : 5K4wSQQkL9mHDprqwv6AW3bvhF3Xc71nxUdRLv3sbQfGWoR7PAZ
If you don't that's what active key can do (source) :
Transfer any currency or tokens out of the account
Stake HIVE or HiveEngine tokens
Unstake HIVE or HiveEngine tokens (aka power down)
Vote for Witnesses
Set proxy for voting
Revoke or authorize keys to other accounts
Now that you know what the key can do the Active key is : 5K4wSQQkL9mHDprqwv6AW3bvhF3Xc71nxUdRLv3sbQfGWoR7PAZ
Same as @forykw did i will keep the: master, owner, posting and memo keys
Why did i do that ? In order to evaluate the human.... nope just for fun an because why not and because 3 years ago i wasn't on this blockchain and same for a lot of user so i want to bring the same "joy" to some people to participate in this "experiment" and yeah i would have enjoyed if someone did it so maybe someone will enjoy when i do it
So after reading all this shit just take the key and do things wait maybe wait the payout of this post so 10% of the post income go to the account key.active or if you have any aset on hive you don't need why not send it and see who enjoy it
It was a great way to put it out there... "hey, if you think you can hack it, try it, so I can learn from it and help to further protect the network".
Will be eager to see what you get on this one... if you find anything weird and wish to share some moments, ping me. Gave it a vote just for the audacity.
I guess i won't help to secure hive but yeah maybe it will, its more like wich ppl will take things they are allowed to take
That's a form of securing too, because you will expose some accounts...
One thing to note down for future consideration, is what changes with time that "invalidates" the initial thoughts of the experiment.
I have had a couple of examples already in crypto, and I can tell that will eventually happen on any blockchain. So for me, it's also a future proof of how resilient things can be, which also promotes security. It's all over the internet if we think about it.
Just to know what do you mean by expose some accounts, i mean i gave the private key thats mean thething on the account can be grabbed
Well lets see how it will turn i will probably send some hive-engine token to the account sometime
After they send to their personal accounts... =)
But all good, the intent of these is not go chase good people, but instead educate newcomers (or existing ones).
