Question 2

Do you know about each of these keys function and restriction ?


Yes the best and first guideline that we should follow is that we should not share our steemit keys or files with anyone because no one should be trusted. My key must be something personal to me and only we can access it, or until we give it to someone else.

Question 3

How can I secure my keys in steemit?


After successfully creating an account I will download my password to a file that I will open with my WPS app. First I'll login to my Steemit account through my Chrome browser because I have the option to save the password in the browser - because the Chrome browser stores the password which can be retrieved by clicking setting, password, and then can go. On the View icon to view your saved passwords. Another important way to protect my password is to store it somewhere on the Internet. For example saving it to my email or Gmail or Google Drive. Or better yet - write it in a directory that only I can access.

Question 4

What are the types of security keys and their functions in steemit?


Here are the basic keys and their functions in Steemit

Posting Key: This key is a very important key of your steemit account, used for logging into the steemit platform and performing some basic actions such as commenting on other users posts, posting articles, upvoting others, and downvoting posts, etc.

Active Key:This key is used for wallet transactions like sending steem/Steem Dollars etc.

Owner Key: This is the another very important key because it can use to recover stolen accounts.We can also use it to change our current passwords, and getting newly generated passwords.

Memo Key: Avery unique and intresting key to be used for decrypting memo belonging to transactions on the Steemit platform.

Question 5


Do you know how to successfully transfer your STEEM token to another Steemit user account?

I have researched and learnt about how to transfer tokens from one user to another, and I would be sharing it through illustration.

I first go to my profile, select "wallet", and signin my active key.

I then insert the necessary details of the user to receive the the token. For this task I inserted the username of our country rep for the transfer.


Question 6

Do you know how to make power up of your STEEM?

When Powering-up your Steem token, you would be required to follow the same process as transferring a Steem. But instead of clicking on the first option in the drop down menu of STEEM, you would select the third option which is Power Up

For instance, when I must have clicked on power up, I would be required to insert the amount of liquid steems to be powered up. After insert the amount and clicking "ok", the token would be on your power up section.
