Maybe you have already seen Wallet Addresses from other crypto currencies.
An address for a Bitcoin Wallet for example looks like this: 17HYBSkRmSaR4U6ZaopsDSNwZJhkoodCJq
On Steemit in contrary it is just your user name. In my case, it is Steempowerwhale.
But just your user name is not enough if you would like to send Steem from outside of your Steemit account such as from any of
the crypto currencies exchanges where you can buy Steem or from a Steem Faucet (https://www.eobot.com/).
Besides your Wallet Address you need to use your Memo Key.
In the following I will show you how to make a deposit to your Steem Wallet.
In this guide I use Poloniex a crypto exchange as an example.
Before you transfer any Steem from Poloniex you need to get your Memo key on Steemit.
Go to your wallet.
Click on Permissions.
On this page copy the MEMO key. Because it is private I covered mine with a blue line in this screen shot.
Go to Poloniex and navigate to your Balances, Deposits & Withdrawals page. All of the currencies you hold on Poloniex are listed there.
Go to your Steem holdings and click on Withdraw in the same line. Then enter your Steemit username, paste your Steemit Memo key in the Memo line and enter the amount of Steem you want to transfer to your Steemit wallet. Once done click on the Withdraw button.
Poloniex will send you an email. You need to open the email and click on the confirmation link to activate your withdrawal request.
Poloniex will display a withdrawal confirmation once successful.
It will take some time (approximately less than an hour) until the Steem amount will show up in your Steemit Wallet.
I am on steemit because I have a mission

Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

That's what I was wondering! I assumed it was public because cryptos usually have a public address, but the author wanted to hide his, which makes me think it's private. Now I'm confused...

As it seems it is in fact the public key.

I feel the same way, why does he not specify which key to use? He does mention that the Memo key he used was private and that's why he covered it in the image but he did not include "Show Private Key" in the instructions. I am sending 1 Steem to test before I make my full deposit...

Its good to keep your public keys also private if possible. Thats why bitcoin changed itβs adresses from public keys to hashed public keys a long time ago.

The part with the memo is indeed very confusing, especially, because you can check a box on some exchanges saying "no memo", whereafter you don't have to provide it.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

Watch out guys, as I understand it the Memo is PUBLIC:
DO NOT put any private keys in there.
(See in your wallet at the bottom)
Beware of spam and phishing links in transfer memos. Do not open links from users you do not trust. Do not provide your private keys to any third party websites.

I believe that the Memo key that is visible is your public Memo Key so you really don't have to hide it... You would have to click on 'Show Private Key' in order for that to be displayed.

All due respect to SteamPowerWhale for putting this together! Awesome share (it helped me out)!
There is one thing I thought should be clarified though.
I'm not a master Steemer yet but... I work with private and public keys very often for my line of work.
Please don't use your private key for this. It's private, so it is best kept private. Public keys are used for encrypting information that is meant to go to the holder of the private key. The private key is used for decryption.
Decryption is how you (or the bad guys) unlock information that was meant only for you to see. Give someone else your private key and you have given them the ability to decrypt things that were encrypted with the public key.
Here is another article on this same topic (that tells you the correct key you're supposed to use):
https://steemit.com/steem/@cryptos/how-to-transfer-steem-from-poloniex-to-steemit-com
Here is another article on public and private keys (complete with great animations that illustrate what each kind of key does):
https://steemit.com/security/@noisy/public-and-private-keys-how-they-are-used-by-steem-making-all-of-these-possible-you-can-find-answer-here
Also, I just moved some of my STEEM from Poloniex to Steemit.com using the public memo key. I did not need to reveal any private keys to Poloniex for this transaction to complete. The transfer went through in under a minute.

To withdraw from Poloniex your should use your public memo key not the private one.
Otherwise your security is compromised. If you give your private memo key to Poloniex they could have full access to your Steem wallet.

This is a dangerous post with a dangerous inaccuracy. Primarily the insinuation that the Memo key is private. It is not! @SteemPowerWhale's Public Memo key is "STM7i2ZKwuyzGj4mUkJnnkMwcwpKEwVevTGSmd69r4he2nrwWk3az" which I can easily find here: https://steemd.com/@steempowerwhale
DO NOT CLICK "Show Private Key" in your wallet and use that Memo in your Bittrex/Poloniex transfers. I believe that may reveal your private key to the world, which is NOT what you want to do! Please, please, please use your public key, not your private key.
This post distressed me so much, I wrote and posted the following up-to-date guide (this one's screenshots are out of date) which does not make the critical mistake of this post: https://steemit.com/steemit/@hansmast/introduction-and-answers-to-common-questions-how-to-transfer-steem-from-exchanges-binance-bittrex-etc-to-your-steemit-wallet

BE CAREFUL, don't put your memo key on memos, otherwise anyone could read your (not anymore) private messages on wallet (memos). I don't know if on some exchanges it is required.
On binance was a fault for me to set my memo key on MEMO field.
To fix it, you should change your master/backup password to change all your keys. Please, upvote so this can be seen by others.
