Achievement 2 @therealtj Task : Basic security system on steemit

in Newcomers' Community3 years ago (edited)

One of the things I like about steemit platform is that, new users are given the opportunity to learn about how this platform works and how to keep one's account safe.
After reading through some guides especially the ones given by @cryptokannon and @kiwiscanfly which were very helpful , I hereby presents my achievement task 2, which requires newcomers to answer some questions.

  1. Have you retrieved all your keys on steemit?
    Yes, I have retrieved all of my keys. I have them stored securely, I don't want to lose them so I have them stored in more than one place.
  2. Do you know each of these these keys functions?
    Yes, after going through the write up by @cryptokannon , I've come to know about the functions of each of the keys generated and given to me by steemit. The keys and their functions are listed below:
    i. Posting key: it is regarded as the key with the least function, it is used to perform any social related activities on steemit, activities like : posting, commenting, follow people, voting ( upvoting and downvoting). It cannot be used to carry out monetary related activities. The interesting thing to know about this key is that, a user can not lose money if someone gets access to this key; interesting, isn't it?
    ii. Active key: This is a key that is used for all monetary related activities on steemit. For instance, if a user wants to access his wallet, he will be required to put in his active key. The key is used for but not limited to transferring and exchanging tokens, conversion of SBD, place an order on an exchange.
    iii. Owner key: This key is required if a user wants to change other keys. It can also be recover a user's account. This key is referred to as the most important key and it is required of all to keep it safe and stored it securely in a place where nobody can access it.
    iv. Memo key: Since blockchain technology is majorly concerned with the privacy and security of the users, so therefore; this key is used for encryption and decryption of messages that are sent through the blockchain.
  3. How do you plan to keep your master password ?
    Master password also known as the active key as explained earlier is the most important of all keys.
    i. And yes, since everyone of us knows that it is very important to have it saved well and secured in order to keep one's account; I plan to keep it saved by having it stored and safely offline.
    ii. Also, I'll not use it for a third-party website unless it is a highly trusted one.
    iii. I'll not share it with anyone.
    iv. I'll not be using it everytime.
  4. How to transfer your steem token to another steemit user account :
    This steps/procedures are listed below:
    This is a wallet related activity, to do this, you'll be required to log in to your wallet page and to do that, you'll be required to input your active key.

Click on transfer; a page which will require you to put the username of the user and the amount you want to transfer will be shown to you. And then input the necessary information and you can successfully transfer the amount you want.

  1. How do you power up STEEM ?
    As it has been explained above, since this is related to a user's earnings on steemit, logging in to the steemit wallet will be required.
    Click on the arrow that shows the amount of steem that you've accumulated.
    Then click on power up.
