Stop whatever you are doing and review the following! You may thank me later!
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><h1>So the last 24 hours was awful. And it’s shocking to learn someone who follows processes as much as I do lost his Reddit account, and almost lost his vault.</h1> <p>Hey all, this is your captain speaking. So yesterday was the first time in 6 months my phone booted me out of Reddit. Was completely random, and having not really thought about it since my account’s inception, I was disturbed to find out none of my standard passwords (or their variations for that matter) worked. No big deal, I’ll have them email me a password reset!</p> <p>… and I sent a request to my email. Nothing. Nada.</p> <p>…okay but hey I’ve GOTTA be able to retrieve my account by phone number or something right?</p> <p>Narrator: “He would in fact, not be right.”</p> <p>Apparently, when you set up your phone account via Reddit, they don’t require an email or anything. Apparently, I had to back it up in the settings, and I just had glossed over that. Probably because I came to Reddit to learn about the GME blow up, and actually found out about <a href="/r/cryptocurrency">r/cryptocurrency</a> like a month later. And opened my vault a month after that. After two months of auto signing in, you don’t even think about things like backup.</p> <h1>FUCK. What about my 10k moons?!</h1> <p>Thank GOODNESS I had written my seed phrase down. I’ll just have Reddit team verify the seed phrase is linked to my account and…</p> <p>Noopppppee. Right. It doesn’t work that way.</p> <p>Several hours of attempted work around later and I find out that I can in fact send the moon from my old vault to this new (AND BACKED UP!!) account’s vault. All I need to do is download meta mask and set it up for the Ethereum Testnet and create the wallet for a specialized token and… oh… oh you have to delete and reinstall metamask and…</p> <h1>Does this sound -awful- to you yet?</h1> <p>Needless to say, I’m creating a hard set of passwords and testing all of them for all my accounts, along with resetting my email passwords and backing them up via 2fa too.</p> <p>Sometimes crypto can be really fucking stomach churning. Special shout outs to <a href="/u/Nanooverbtc">u/Nanooverbtc</a> (yes, the mods absolutely deserve their moons) and the two guys who helped me figure this crap out yesterday. There are some -heroes- on this sub.</p> <p>Some things still suck. I lost my Reddit coins, as well as a free 3 month (I think) premium upgrade, and I posted -a lot- this round. So yes fellow mooners, probably a good 3k more moons lost to a dead vault. But hey, that’s crypto right? TL
R</p> <p>-Back your crap up</p> <p>-Back up your backups</p> <p>-Never assume anything tied to your coins</p> <p>-Elon still sucks</p> <p>-Safemoon is still a Ponzi.</p> <p>-Fuck Robin Hood with a pointy steel-toed boot covered in Dire Ants</p> <p>EDIT: THANK YOU FOR ALL THE AWARDS AND KARMA!
