RE: Utopian: The Project Liked By Steem Whales and Why You Should Join it Too
Hello @sanjeevm.
Sure, running initiatives to make Steemit more popular is exactly the kind of contributions you can post on Utopian. You will post on Utopian for example once one of your initiatives is done and write about how you made this initiative, how many people joined, where it was taken, the results, etc.
Utopian uses Steemconnect, that's mantained by Steemit. Utopian never gets your credentials nor it stores them anywhere. It is totally safe. You can use the transfer capabilities to support other contributors on Utopian, but Utopian will never be able to do that without your authorisation.
Let me know you need any help!
When we provide the active key to authorize, will it not get stored in Utopian ? Or its just to authorize once, and then I can change the key ?
I am worried not to share the active key, because anyone can transfer using that key, if it gets exposed.
@sanjeevm absolutely no. Utopian does not store your key. Utopian cannot even see your key. When you login you are using steemconnect. Steemconnect acts as authentication service and just tells Utopian if the login was successful or not. All the actions are then broadcasted through Steemconnect. Utopian knows nothing about your credentials but only who you are on Steemit. In addition Utopian and Steemconnect both use https, the data is encrypted and cannot be read from outside.
I will have to read a bit about steemconnect then. For a quick clarification, if I change the key, after I give permission to utopian, then will it still work ?
And why can't you take only the posting key ?
Hey @sanjeevm read this comment from the mantainer of SteemConnect V2 and CEO of Busy.org. Everything is well explained there: https://steemit.com/dtube/@elear/18wkyxfc#@ekitcho/re-leprechaun-re-elear-2017108t1638208z-20171008t195118203z
