So — filled out the application, but I couldn’t view the calendar either; had to request access, which meant revealing my email address. As soon as I did that, my alarm bells started going off.

I realized I have no idea who’s launching this initiative — yet now I’ve given you two valuable pieces of information; my birthdate, and email (which I very rarely divulge.) Had I not followed a link shared by a friend whom I trust, I’d likely have been more discerning. Really — there sure are a lot of links to click, with not one word about who you are or why we should trust you.

Seems like a lovely idea. Yet — on a platform crawling with phishing scams — I think it might be wise to give a bit more context about who’s behind this — what inspired it — who’s supporting this initiative.

The only clue is your screenshot sample of delegating via steemconnect. As someone who’s worked in photoshop for nearly 2 decades, I know how easily such things can be falsified. I do hope it’s really you, Hive account@sumatranate!
