Hello Wonderful steemians, how are you all, hope you had a nice day, after my introduction which I did in my acheivement 1, I'm here once again to write on acheivement 2, which talks about security in steemit.
So please you all should go through. Thanks.
SECURITY
Security is simply the state of being free from threat or danger. We have to take safety measures so we don't loose something precious to us or even our lives.
SECURITY IN STEEMIT
Steemit as a body took measures to protect the account of it's users, so they developed 5 keys known as permission keys.
These keys are
- Memo key
- Posting key
- Active key
- Master key
- Owner key
MEMO KEY: this key is used to encrypt and decrypt Information, encryption means transferring information into secret code while decryption means decoding secret codes.
POSTING KEY: this key is used for posting, it enables you write to the view of others, it is used for downvoting and upvoting.
ACTIVE KEY: this key is used during transactions, when transferring from your wallet to another wallet or when powering up, you make use of this key.
MASTER KEY: this key surpasses all other keys in steemit, a master is one that is supreme to others, so this key is the first key you come across when signing up.
OWNER KEY: the term ownership means possessing something or asset legally, so this key makes you have full access to your account.
SECURING KEYS
When opening a steemit account, the first key you come across is your master key, after that You are going to see a PDF containing all your keys, download it and it will be in your PDF, now the best you can secure them better is by saving it in your email, so incase you lost your device, you can still get your keys in your email.
HOW TO TRANSFER TOKEN
In order for you to be able to transfer steem to other accounts, you will have to follow these few steps
- Click on the round Icon at the top, you will see post, notification, comments, wallet etc, click on wallet.
- A page will appear showing STEEM TOKEN, click on it and options will appear
- Then click on the transfer option.
- A page will appear where boxes are been provided, then you can fill in the username and amount of steem you want to transfer.
POWERING UP
*To power up your steem token, go to wallet, tap the options and click power up.
- Boxes will be provided where you can input the amount of steem you want to power up.
Thank you all for going through my post, I really appreciate, do have a nice day😊
