How the heck do I use the Vessel Wallet to Hodl my STEEM?

in vessel •  7 years ago 

So the apparent best wallet for hodling your STEEM is the Vessel Wallet.

Yet it doesn't seem necessarily user-friendly.

Where and how do you generate an address to send your STEEM to?

Keeping your HODL's on an exchange is a nerve-wracking, less than optimal situation.

May I suggest to Vessel's developers to make this simpler.

Are there any guides and tutorials one could recommend to greater understand how to operate the Vessel Wallet?

Steem doesn't have addresses, you have an account name and keys to that account.

To securely use the wallet all you have to do is import your active key, and then stop using your active key on Steemit.com, and only use your posting key.
