Current Status of the Steem Keychain

in hive-102132 •  2 months ago 

The steem-keychain is a very useful/important wallet that runs in the browser. For the new joiners, they may not know which are the trusted version to install given that after the split 4 years ago, the original version is outdated.

Outdated links:

From: https://developers.steem.io/resources/steem_keychain

The links need fixing:

Current version

The @happyberrysboy is maintaining the fork at the repo: https://github.com/HappyBerrysBoy/steem-keychain

And you can install at Chrome Webstore:
https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/steemkeychain/jhgnbkkipaallpehbohjmkbjofjdmeid

As far as I know, he will be fixing the following issue soon:

TLDR;

We can fork from this branch.

Use https://github.com/HappyBerrysBoy/steem-keychain as your base fork

You can either install from https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/steemkeychain/jhgnbkkipaallpehbohjmkbjofjdmeid
or install locally from your github repo.

I've re-forked based on the version, and I may contribute to this if I have some time.

TODO:

As google is deprecating v2 manifest, this extension needs to be migrated to manifest v3. see: See https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/develop/migrate

Steem to the Moon🚀!
