Steemit-Tronlink Integration by @hdnakum Steemit Crypto Academy Season 4 - Homework Post for Task 9.
Hey Steemians,
Good evening to everyone,
Greeting to #steemitcrytoacademy -The most amazing community on the steemit platform.
I'm @hdnakum. first of all, I would like to thank @sapwood for teaching a lot of students, including me, about various types of wallets, the importance of private & public keys and various type of keys. In Homework 9, most of the students are attending question 1 about basic types of wallets and installing Tronlink wallets. I have found no Homework who has attended question 2 dealing with how the steemit wallet can integrate with the Tronllink wallet. When I used this facility on steemit, I was very much confused at first thus I have decided to attend question 2 about how to intergrade your own tronlink wallet with your steemit wallet.
MAIN QUESTION:
Please indicate your Steem integrated TronLink wallet in Steemitwallet.com? If you already have the private key/public key of your Steem integrated Tron Link wallet, demonstrate how do you restore this wallet in a fresh installation or device? How important is the password that you set locally in a fresh installation? Which form of the private key needs the password too to unlock the crypto asset? Include Screenshots and hide/blur the sensitive information.
Question 1
Please indicate your Steem integrated TronLink wallet in Steemitwallet.com? If you already have the private key/public key of your Steem integrated Tron Link wallet, demonstrate how do you restore this wallet in a fresh installation or device?
1. Get the information of your Tron account integrated into Steemitwallet?
As we all know that when you sign up on the steemit platform, you not only make a steem blockchain account but you also make Tron account parallel to it. Once you are done with signing up in Steemit, you will be able to download pdf file of all your steem and Tron account's private and public keys.
I can get all the information about my Tron account by using the public key: TFW3JeWvdbgWLG5XLMbFqsPKLhHSFRwgAi in Tronscan, You can get details like token balance, transaction, transfers, votes and stake details at Tronscan.
2. Integration of steemitwallet integrated Tron account to Tronllink wallet
As we have all the details of the Tron account that is connected to the steemit wallets such as Private key and public key. Having this all information, we have to connect our steemit integrated Tron account toTronllink wallet because that's where you can do lots of things such as to send, receive, swap, and stake on the dapps that is built on Tron blockchain (just swap, sun.io).
As you can see below, I have already integrated my Steemit integrated Tron account into the Tronlink wallet chrome extension very earlier.
To complete the homework, I will restore my Steemit integrated Tron account into the Tronlink pro mobile app. So far, I was not using the Tronlink pro wallet on my mobile. I have restored the Steemit integrated Tron account in my mobile using my Tron account's private key (The one received through pdf upon signing up on the steemit platform) as below.
You need to remember the password and account name in order to restore your account in a freshly installed app/ios app or chrome extension. I had successfully restored my wallet as above by using the same name and the password I had taken while integrating my steemit integrated wallet to the chrome extension.
Question 2
How important is the password that you set locally in a fresh installation? Which form of the private key needs the password too to unlock the crypto asset? Include Screenshots and hide/blur the sensitive information.
In order to learn how the password you set while restoring the Tron account is important, I will make a new Tron account (by following the below method) to explain how the Keystorefile+Password makes a private key.
We all know that there are three types of keys to restore your wallet and your crypto assets
- 1. Private key:
Once you sign up on the steemit platform, it will make you an account in Tron blockchain too. The pdf you received at the time of signing up will have Private and public keys (as shown above). You can restore your wallet address by only having private keys. The private key is the master key and control all your assets.
The typical Private key look like this
4CFE51F09890AA03D721EE49B196F8A831F973C2679764B06B1902B519A5B305
2. Mnemonic Key:
This kind of key provides you with 12 to 24 phrase words in order and you have to remember (write down somewhere safely). The modus operandi of mnemonic key and Private keys are almost the same and both the keys don't require any kind of password (the one you set) before you sign up in the wallet.
Once you provide mnemonic keys to the system (wallet), it will convert your mnemonic keys to the private key and will allow access to the wallets assets stored in that wallet address, if the provided mnemonic key is true and in order.
3. Keystore Key:
The Keystore file is quite different from the private key and mnemonic keys. The form is different but the work is the same as both other keys. When you sign up (make) for a new wallet you have to set your own password on your device (android/ios/laptop) for that wallet.If you have saved up the Keystore file, you can easily restore the master private key which will allow accessing the crypto assets are in.
Conclusion
All and above, we are now sure that private keys such as master key, mnemonic key or Keystore should not be revealed in any condition. If you do so, be ready to lose all your assets that are stored in it. We have seen how the steemit use an integrated Tron wallet. You can use the Tron (TRX) cryptocurrency that you have been rewarded from the content writing in staking or buying another crypto from earned TRX. I would like to thank @sapwood for creating an amazing piece of lecture about wallets. The topic was discussed in depth by him.
