How do you sign into Steemconnect?

in steem •  7 years ago  (edited)

I am trying to sell some steem for bitcoin and I notice the blocktrades site has recently changed.   You can only transfer from your steem acount with SteemConnect now????

this is fine with me and it connects my account but asks for a password.   What password do i need.   I have tried my steemit password but that doesnt work.   

Is there something I am missing?  

How can I sign into steemconnect? 

How can I transfer my steem to bitcoin through blocktrades without steemconnect?


Thanks guys:)

You need to enter your private key. Always check that the website says steemconnect and shows the secure certificate before you enter your private key. It ensures that your password is encrypted when you send it.

Thank you, I am glad I could help :-)

I hope you're not still using your master key to login into steemit and do transactions with? You should only use it in case your account gets compromised. Only use your posting/active key (posting to login, active for transactions)

I gotta be honest my friend all this key talk still confuses me. I dont think im using any master key for anything. (head scratch)

When you look at permissions in your wallet there is only 3 keys; posting, active and owner (owner = master key) (well... 3 that you use, not sure what memo is for :P).

Posting = for posts/upvoting, and used to login into Steemit.com
Active = for transactions (so sending steem/sbd to other accounts)
Owner/master = ment to be kept offline, so incase your account gets compromised you are able to retrieve it with this key.

Just think private keys as passwords and public keys as account identifiers. You rarely need public keys for anything as regular user.

very simple my freind enter your private key
Find it here

woohooo hahahahah

I used my active key and it worked! Thanks everyone

how do you think about current and steam prices at this time?

I think we are seeing the dip I talked about when you asked me after it shot up to $9 . A dip is expected, and its recovering now. I think we are prime for that $10 steem price very soon

I think with Blocktrades you can still manually trade like the old way. I tried steemconnect and got scared because there was steemconnect and steemconnect v2, so I traded the old way no problem two days ago.

Berney stinson:"I awesome" :)))) I could not read more. My handwritten comments automatically when I saw Barney.

So many things to know about steemit.. I still dont even know what they use all those keys for. Lool. Where are the doors.. #Smiles

Thank you muchly for this post. I've been experiencing the same issue. Then remembered the power of google!!

what is the user name? is it the same as my username on steemit? i cannaot login, and it says my email is already in the system

Using Bittrex is pretty easy if you have an account there. I'm under the impression that Blocktrades fees are a bit more than Bittrex's small fees, but maybe I'm wrong. Transfers to Bittrex take only a few mins, and you can trade your SBD or STEEM into BTC there.
