DTube Account: Lost Key Replacement (a one time only process)

Where did I...?

Hi fellow Dtubers/Steemians,

For the vast majority of active DTubers at the moment who doesn't have any issue with their account keys: this post does not apply to you :)

This post details the required steps needed to perform account recovery in the event that you have lost your key

N.B.: we intend to ensure that all users are very well aware that they own responsibility for their keys and that ...

...this will be a one time only process

We are able to perform this activity only because DTube is transitioning between a testnet and a mainnet in the near future.

We will be bringing a lot of content from the testnet into the mainnet - including accounts.

If you have lost your key and notify us via the process defined below, DTube to replace the public key for your account during this transition - and during this transition only!

This will be a one time only process

If you lose your key again, your account will be unrecoverable, you will need to make a new account and you won't be able to get the DTCs from our main-net airdrop.

**DTube does not intend to perform this activity EVER AGAIN! This is your only opportunity to recover your account if you have lost your keys, it will not happen again**

Having heavily stressed upon the one-off account recovery, lets move on to the process:

Step 1: get a new key

You will need to acquire a new key pair from here

Click "Save to Disk" and download the provided file, then ensure the file is backed up in at least two additional locations (desktop, phone & laptop for example). You can now close this page.

Step 2: send an encrypted memo to @dtube containing your new PUBLIC key

This step verifies that you have created a new key and that you are the holder of the key which has been created.

Send 0.001 STEEM to @dtube with a memo which contains your key in an encrypted form from https://steemitwallet.com

To do so add a hash at the state of the memo.

#<pub_key>

For example I would send

#21Yk6EJ2kT16T9woXXqNuZKtNk6RwvFRrd3PiNF56NoiR

Plain text keys will still be counted. However users may receive messages from key-protection services warning them they have divulged a key. As long as only your public DTube key has been sent, you are free to disregard these messages.

Step 3: Giving us the information we need

Paste the new public key into the form
Provide us with your account name

Step 4: Wait for mainnet

During the account creation process for mainnet, your old key will be replaced with your new one - should you have performed all the actions correctly.

If there are any issues with the information provided, a member of the DTube team contact you.
