You don't see any problem with handing full control of your steemit wallet to a stranger ? I wish I was as trusting as you are :)
HTTPS only makes a difference if people are trying to sniff the passwords in transit, which wasn't a threat here anyway since signing happens in the browser..
i am sorry that's what i dont get. i am in control of my account in golos. i am not providing any private key to anybody?! When the russian site goes live, i will simply login in the same way like i do in steemit. unless there is something else i dont know about
You dont need to provide your private key if you're giving them your steemit login instead. They are effectively the same thing.
Analogy time - you randomly won a competition ! To claim your prize simply login to this site that looks like your bank, with your bank details. Trust us it'll be fine.
hm are they going to ask us steemit login details?! the only thing they need is the address lol. what login details?
Yes they'll ask for your steemit login details. Your steemit and gollum login details are the same, handled by the same keys. This is the point of my post ;)
