Day 5 and Steemit still haven't found a solution about how we are to retrieve our compromised accounts.

They were supposed to have a solution within 48 hours - it's now nearly a week. Doesn't say much for their competence - really really sucks.

If it was a tiny amount in the account, I guess I'd let it go - but it's not. What do people suggest I do? Time to report them? Does anyone know which jurisdiction they are in?

Devs works hard for this, I think the solution will be released today (EST).

I got a canned reply to my email from Ned (2 business days to respond, pretty good actually).

So you can see it's not a priority, "ample time" probably means weeks.

If you are a hammer, the whole world is a nail...
If you are Dan Larimer, every problem in the world can be resolved by witness voting...
If you are Steemit with a $300 million cap, this can wait.

I'd bet they will roll out some super-complicated "delegated voting" solution...
Though my account was funded by a specific BTC account... and I can PROVE that I own it in 60 seconds.

Sigh.
