Hello steemians. Today I am writing my achievement 2 about Steemit wallet and security. So lets start.
1. Have you retrieved all your keys on steemit?
To my little knowledge, I know very that keys are very important I'm the platform. So I would say a "Yes" to this question because I have retrieved all the keys.
2. Do you know each of these key functions and restrictions?
This is another question to bear in mind before making use of the keys. I have fully understood the functions of the keys, and would be discussing briefly about them.
Posting Key: Posting key as the name implies, is used for posting articles on the platform. To my understanding, the platform is divided into steemitwallet.com and steemit.com where steemit.com is for making publications and Steemitwallet for storimg your asset. Now the posting key is used to login and enables you to make an article on the platform.
Active Key: This is another important key in the platform. Like I said earlier, the platform is divided into 2 being the Steemitwallet and the steemit.com which is restrictly for posting articles. Here the active key is used to access the wallet and it enables monetary transactions like transferring the steem coins from one wallet to another.
Owners Key: To the best of my knowledge, I trust it is the most important key as it is helps to change other keys. It is meant to be kept safe, ideally offline because if it is compromised, it can lead to lost of account.
Memo Key: Memo key, to best of my knowledge is less important because it is only used to decrypt and encrypted messages across the platform.
Master Key: As the name implies, it is used to access other keys in the Steemitwallet, the difference between master and owner key is that the owner key has the ability to change other keys while master key is only limited to accessing the keys. Now let's proceed with question 3.
How do you plan to keep your master password?
A wonderful question! Since the master password has the ability to access the ability to access other keys, it means I will be storing it offline where I will be the one to access it alone. Currently, I have stored them on my hard drive, I have also printed it out.
Do you know how to transfer your steem token to another steem user account?
Yes! After signing in the platform, I practically did that and would be sharing with you again. In order to carry out the monetary transaction you will visit your wallet like I did below.
Then, I clicked on the steem button & a drop-down menu opened, there I clicked on transfer. Then the below image came up.
From here, I inputted the name of the recipient and the amount of steem asset. Then, I clicked on the next button to confirm it below.
Do you know how to power up your STEEM?
Powering steem is also known as transferring your liquid steem into vesting shares. I have also practicalize this aspect and would be displaying to you my understanding. See the below images.
Still on my steemit wallet, I clicked on the steem button where I got a drop-down menu to click on power up as the above image has illustrated. I clicked on the power up option and the below image appeared.
Here, I filled in the amount liquid steem to transfer to vesting shares. After inputting the amount, I clicked on the ok button. The next page is to finalize the transaction with your active key.
Thank you for being here on this article. Thank you all steemian friends.
