This is an expensive and emotional lesson for you Xioran and it needs to be a lesson for all parishioners and Steemians in general.

Every Steem account has permission keys. A posting key and an active key....

USE THEM!

The master-key should be stored offline and somewhere safe.

If you had merely pasted your posting key into the comment - your account would have been safe. Same with the active key - your Steem Power and the account would have been safe.

The fact that you were using your master-key for regular operations demonstrates a lack of attention to security.

For Steem users who don't know how to access their posting and active keys go to:

Steemit / Wallet / Permissions

This Knight can certainly understand the anger and frustration that might make you want to give up after this Xioran - it is a credit to you that you have not.

As such, this Knight will do what he can to help you build your SP back up. However - this will be the first and final time he does this for someone. Each Steemian must be responsible for their own keys.

I am... SirKnight.
