Achievement 2 post - all about keys

in hive-172186 •  5 years ago 

Hello guys!

I have already posted my first achievement post i.e my introduction post in steem greet. I am going to post another achievement in this steem greet community 🎉

In this achievement post of mine, i am going to discuss about what i have understood about the different types of keys and their importance in online platform like steemit.

            Posting key

This key is used for social networking actions like commenting, posting and voting. Since this key has a limited set of actions so if we shared this with someone we did not have worry because we can't lose money.
Here is an example of posting key

It is used to edit a post. It is also used for resteeming the content, follow people and mute accounts.

It is also used for up voting and down voting. The green mark is used for up voting and red mark is used for down voting. Here's the example

            Active key

Active key is one of the most important and powerful key in the steemit universe. It is mainly used to perform financial tasks like transferring tokens, powering the steem up or down, SBD conversion etc.
Here is an example

It is also used for creating a new user. It is mostly used for transactions.

          Owner key

It is also the most important key in all the keys out there. This key has an additional benefit that it can used to recover your account and can change other keys also.
It can also be used to decline voting rights
Here's an example

            Memo key 

Memo key is mainly used to encrypt and decrypt private messages. But, this is feature that most of the users does not use mostly,but,in future it could be an important one.
I have used this memo key to send a message to @cmp2020. Here is the screen shoot of that

Now I have understood the importance of all the keys. I would recommend that all of you should store your keys safely (most probably offline).

Thank you!
