Did you know that you can view the wallets of steemit users.
I don’t know if this is a good thing or not but it kind of makes me feel “exposed”. I found this by accident. I was looking at the trending post page and clicked on a story. What I thought was my “wallet” below the taskbar turned out to be the person who’s blog I was reading. Thinking this was a one-off I opened another steemit user and again the wallet was there to be opened. I have to add that now Keys were viewable.

Now to me it’s a bit like watching your favourite YouTube channel and having access to the backend and seeing what they are earning. Or even having your bank account on show. Is this an oversight on steemit’s part or is it part of the platform. Either way, I think the wallet should be Private.

What are your thoughts. Comment down below.
