Dear Steemit Team!, thanks for your support and great welcome through your healthy comments you wished me on my introduction post yesterday. It has been so wonderful having joined this amazing team. In fact it's more than a family or a large household that think about human welfare, seeking everyone to build on irrespective of social background and levels. It's out of this love you showed that has empowered me to share my next Achievement task as quickly as possible.

@gyamanie Achievement Task #2 on Basic Security on Steem

To every key that I know for the lay man view is ones security, protection and safety. Like our ordinary keys that we use, they keep us safe from theft stealing our properties or belongings. As soon as we lose these keys, we are unsafe from theft , we are no more secured. In the same way, my steem keys are my steem security codes that keep me log in or open my blog for me to get access and operates. They are tools that protect my wallet and all transactions to be made. It means that when I lose these keys hardly would I get access to my blog and funds which are locked up in steem. Likewise, when different person get access without my concern he may steal my steem tokens away. Therefore the steem security keys are very vital to keep them well.


With the great teachings of Achievement Tasks designed by @cryptokannon to support the newcomers on their journey in steem, I have really learnt a lot about how I would keep my keys safe. I have also received a piece of advice of how to handle Steemit keys safely from other people or losing it involuntarily. I know every key is delicate to handle, one can easily misplace or conflict it with other things else, especially dealing with keys online which are made of generated numbers. With 5 questions availed here for me in this Task #2 I'm gonna answer them accordingly about how possible I'm keeping these steem vital properties.


Question 1
Have you retrieve all your keys on steemit?

  • With the access to my Master password which was the first password generated through signing up to steemit. With the support from my mentor, @oppongk, I am able to use it log in to my steemit blog. Go to where the say: "open my steemit wallet to access and view my posting key" With the same Master password, I'm able to reveal all the hidden keys like; the posting key, private active key, owner key and the memo key.

Question2
Do you know each of these key functions and restrictions?

  • Yes, Master key is the first I got to know which functions as helping to retrieve all the steemit security keys.
  • The posting key is used for posting, commenting, upvoting. Sometimes when one is offline and want to get back to his blog effect posting content, without the posting key, the blog still look in active with all the features, unless properly logged in with the posting key.
  • The private active key also supports one during transaction of funds, transferring Steem or sbd , powering ups and downs of steem
  • The owner key helps in the recovery of accounts in steem when there is a lot of accounts trying to crash or conflict with others.

Question 3
How do you plan to keep your master password?

  • I have devised means of keeping my Master password both offline and hard copies. Though I have saved it in my Gmail draft but I thing isn't safe for me to do so in case someone sees it. I have planned storing it on my pen drive. I have also written it in my diary book.

Question 4
Do you know how to transfer your steem token to another steem user account?

  • With the little knowledge acquired from my friend, the wallet is the source where all my earning are kept secured. It demonstrates 3 main features; steem, steem power and sbd. In my wallet when I want to transfer steem to someone, I just log into the steem option, where it says transfer. I just click on it to transfer. In the next option I type the amount to be transferred at the middle bar. Then write or copy and paste my active key to send.

Question 5
Do you know how to power up your STEEM?

  • In the same wallet, I go to Steem power, click on the small arrow key, select the option "power up" it takes me to another level where I can write the amount to be power up. Copy and paste my active key to power up my steem.

I'm still reading a lot to know more about steem, learning from most experienced people in steem, following @steemitblog to get more updates. I'm new, so I would be very happy if you prompt me in case I miss out some rules here.

Thanks to all lovely Steemians in Steem Community. I still thanks @cryptokannon, @steemcurato01 and all the steemians for your great support and engagement.
