Hey there!

Heimindanger is around again and now he started to post in the name of joythewanderer. I don't know how he got her keys but it could be an exploit on the DTube website back in the days. So be safe and change your keys asap!

I am guilty of changing them not often enough so I just did it and it is easier than you might think. Just go to peakd -> wallet -> account actions -> keys & permissions -> change password. Obviously save your new keys lol

Stay safe and please share this so he could not spam in your fiends name next time!

Peace!

Thanks for the advice. I'll take the precaution of changing my keys. I can't remember if I used DTube back in the day, but I'll do it just to be sure.

Yep - thankfully there are global mute lists - I dont know if all the frontends use them tho

No wonder I saw Joy suddenly starting to comment. I know she had rage quit, but that return seem so random. How do you know it was heimindanger?

@tibfox | Feb. 19, 2026, 9:21 a.m. | Votes: 1 | [ VOTE ]

I don't know but I assume him because joy did reblog his posts and the aggressive spamming looks just like him tbh

You assumed wrong. Are you gonna make a post to apologize now and farm another $30?

A few years back, his ego got hurt, and now he tries to cure that by spamming the network.. Open chain comes with many tools for spammers and scammers ¯_(ツ)_/¯

My ego is fine. You can call me a spammer, that's fine. Please don't call me a thief when I never stole a single cent in my life. Instead look at your master who stole tens of millions of $ worth from Justin Sun, as well as the investments of the community.

About changing keys a friend of mine change his keys recently but right now it is only his posting key that is working all others are invalid please what can he do?

@tibfox | Feb. 19, 2026, 9:28 a.m. | Votes: 1 | [ VOTE ]

Uhm I can not help you on that tbh. The most important step of changing keys is to copy the new keys. Since some of the keys are invalid I would assume that your friend only opied the private posting key and not the whole file that he had to download. Maybe he can find that file in the download folder of the pc he changed the keys on (?) I hope he does!

I changed key after i used DTube - should be fine then? @tibfox

wouldn't revoking permissions be enough? I don't think dtube asked for keys directly back in the day

@tibfox | Feb. 19, 2026, 9:48 a.m. | Votes: 3 | [ VOTE ]

I am pretty sure that DTube allowed private key login.
But yeah, revoking permissions is definitely another important thing to check!

@heimindanger | Feb. 21, 2026, 5:10 a.m. | Votes: 3 | [ VOTE ]

Dude seriously. I knew you were dumb when you started tainting your hair while asking me for money to pay your rent, but I didn't think you were THAT dumb.

It would never cross my mind to steal anybody's keys. I am the good guy here. I fight for private property. Stealing keys would destroy my reputation. The entire history of DTube's v1 code is on github.com/dtube, and the frontend has ALWAYS been hosted on github pages, which means I couldn't have run a modified version. It would have costed you nothing to check the code history before making up stories like a retard.

I don't have her keys, she's just supporting the movement and using claude code or something like that.

P.S. The thieves are the people you are sucking the dicks for upvote/money. I call them 'the cartel'. @blocktrades is the leader

@thefed | Feb. 19, 2026, 11:03 p.m. | Votes: 1 | [ VOTE ]

Yup, this is fear mongering to extreme. I assume he legit wants to help but this isn’t helpful at all. A thoughtful post about changing keys is great, but this is just fear mongering.

@heimindanger | Feb. 21, 2026, 5:53 a.m. | Votes: 1 | [ VOTE ]

Yes, it's fear mongering, but it's also smart reward extraction.

And that's why he is posting that. It would have costed him nothing to check the code history, especially since he pretends to be a developer himself nowdays...

@hurtlocker | Feb. 21, 2026, 7:12 a.m. | Votes: 1 | [ VOTE ]

I honestly do not think it is fear mongering. Like if a project or project owner appears to be compromised I think warning people about it makes sense.

No one was expecting the joythewanderer account to start reposting heimindanger. It was weird at best and people were talking about it in HIVE discord when it started happening.

I haven't been around long enough to even know what Dtube is so I cannot speak to how it worked and what the login options were but I am glad people are raising awareness.

Check the "comment conversation" between these two.

overvalued post making panic.

Care to proof anything?

Revoking access is probably enough, but I get it. Be on the safe side.

Still overvalued circlejerk voting on this post which is actually the bigger problem of this platform.

@tibfox | Feb. 19, 2026, 10:35 p.m. | Votes: 2 | [ VOTE ]

Just look at the comments of both accounts and how one account acts with the other. You don't need to be a genious to come to that conclusion. Also I have worked with that guy for a long time and know how he ticks. Revoking permission does not change anything if you logged in with your private keys back in the days. I did not ask for votes - I can not control who votes on my posts - that's it.

@heimindanger | Feb. 21, 2026, 5:27 a.m. | Votes: 1 | [ VOTE ]

We dont have to be a 'genious' to understand you're just farming rewards here with a clickbait title. You obviously don't have any proof. If I had her keys, the most likely explanation would be that she gave it to me. She didn't. She just wants the same thing I do: make sure the few real people who still believe and invest in this cartelized blockchain are aware of the danger.

@woelfchen | Feb. 21, 2026, 11:12 a.m. | Votes: 0 | [ VOTE ]

So you can just assume that reposting is being compromised?

Why do you have such a small stake after 8 years and all these big votes on all your posts?

@hurtlocker | Feb. 21, 2026, 7:22 a.m. | Votes: 1 | [ VOTE ]

Does it actually matter if a bunch of people upvote the same post?

To your point, normally the trending page makes no sense. Like most the stuff is not something you would expect to be trending.

That being said, I think from a traditional social media perspective something like this being trending makes sense to me.

I am also not questioning that HIVE has problems I am more just saying I do not think this is an instance of the "circlejerk" as they say. Also, I think we need something better to say than "circlejerk." I feel weird even typing it 😅

Yes it does actually matter.
It destroys duration, 'proof of brain', the whole incentives structure of the platform and therefore the platform itself.

It is only sensationalism.

And from you, also some relativism ^^

Why do you care to explicitly not answer the question?
Just a question

but simultaneously making bucks on assuming and accusing another one of account compromising?

Maybe I should also start assuming and accusing according to your small stake after 8 years and all the big votes on your posts?

I transferred 8888 Hive to Magi running a witness and some more to be able to do stuff there. I still have around 2000 Hive in DIYHub because that is my project and it needed stake and the rest I probably transferred to real cash because life is life sometimes. Also I stopped posting for a very long time building things in the background - what are you doing for the chain except to care about other people's assets? That was just rhetorical because I muted you

1) claudcode isn't that hard to use, anyone can vibecode a bot like that. Just as easy as any hive witness vibe code hive code :p
2) why do you think as a crypto og (10 years in cryoto) who never lost 1 cent (by trading or other), would give anyone my keys?
3) i dont need to explain, but this is just insane haha.

this post actually gave me a good laugh

That is simply not correct. Back in the days you logged into dtube with your steem/hive keys. Only when dtube had it's own chain it also got other accounts. I worked as dev for the platform and should know
