I have been posting these reports since the beginning of interests. I haven’t heard any complaints or concerns yet. My savings are included in the list as well. I don’t see a problem. I would gladly redact names/wallets if anyone doesn’t like to be in the list.
Main reason of these posts has been to keep track of the progress in HBD adoption and choosing HBD as investment. Some find it useful.
I agree Hive wallets lack privacy features. This is the case with most open and transparent networks. I doubt anything will change in layer one. But privacy features can be built in layer 2 applications.
As you have suggested there are ways of keeping funds private, alt accounts. Not only they won’t be associated with social profiles, but may actually provide more security.
HBD interest payments are newly minted coins, additional inflation, and no coins are burnt to create them.
