(ENG/ESP)Homework task 2/Steemit Crypto Academy- Blockchain Wallet- Chapter-2
Saludos estimados amigos de steemit! Antes de comenzar quisiera agradecer a @steemitblog, @steemcurator01 y @steemcuratosr02 por esta inciativa de la steemitcrytoacademy que respresenta una gran oportunidad de aprender para nostros que nos iniciamos en el mundo de las crytomonedas y la blockchain.
In this post I will perform the activity proposed in his lesson by @sapwood "Blockchain Wallet- Chapter-2" for this I will propose the download of a wallet that I have been doing for some time, as it is Atomic Wallet this has as a reference a seed that allows to recover the account, but if you lose the funds are lost forever.
En este post voy a realizar la actividad planteada en su lección por @sapwood “Blockchain Wallet- Chapter-2” para ello voy a plantear la descarga de una billetera que hace tiempo estoy por realizar, como lo es Atomic Wallet esta tiene como referencia una semilla que permite recuperar la cuenta, pero que si se extravía lo fondos quedan perdidos para siempre.
How do I download & install a wallet? Examples(Hint- Etherum, Tron, etc or any other you wish to)?
To begin I wanted to download from the official page, as seen in the image from there was directed to the googleplay (I am an Android user) from where he proceeded to download,
Para comenzar quise realizar la descarga desde la página oficial de la billetera, tal y como se ve en la imagen desde allí fui direccionado a la googleplay (soy usuario de Android) desde donde se procedió a realizar la descarga.
From there the app requests an initial password, once indicated the seed of 12 words that one must carefully save is provided (I wrote it on a page that I saved in a safe place).
Desde allí la app solicita una contraseña inicial, una vez indicada se proporciona la semilla de 12 palabras que uno debe guardar cuidadosamente, (yo lo escribí en una página que guarde en un lugar seguro).
Once you have the page open, you can go to settings at any time and locate the seed, so you can save it.
Una vez con la página abierta, se puede ir a ajustes en cualquier momento y ubicar la semilla, para poder guardarla.
How do I restore a wallet using a Private key/Mnemonic key/Keystore file?
To test the seed, I logged in the part that say restore, and entered the words from the seed, then the wallet was set up again without any problems. (I had to create a new password)The truth is that for a beginner like me, the procedures were quite simple.
Para probar la semilla, ingrese como si fuese a reataurar mi sesion en este equipo, e introduje las palabras de la semilla (tuve que crear una nueva contraseña), acto seguido la billetera se configuró nuevamente sin problemas. La verdad que para un principiante como yo fue bastante sencillo los procedimientos.
How important is the Mnemonic key or Private Key or Keystore File during the installation/restoration of a wallet?
I think it is very important to have this secure element in the wallet, many times people put a password and trust that they will memorize it, having these keys allows to be aware of the importance of security and to keep them in a safe place, apart from its main security feature that would be to prevent anyone to duplicate our wallet knowing our key, or in case of theft or loss of the mobile device.
Considero que es muy importante tener este elemento seguro en la billetera, muchas veces las personas colocan una contraseña y confían en que la van a memorizar, el tener estas llaves permite tomar consciencia dela importancia dela seguridad y de guardarlas en un lugar seguro, aparte que su principal característica de seguridad que sería el impedir que cualquier persona pueda duplicar nuestra billetera conociendo nuestra clave, o en caso de robo o extravio del dispositivo movil.
Any Blockchain wallet that you have used before, that has the experience of any / all three forms of keys: private file / mnemonic / key store?
Well the experience presented here with Atomic, Trust Wallet (both mnemonic key type and steemit's tron wallet in which the key is sent as a private file once it is created.
Bueno la experiencia presentada aquí con la Atomic, Trust Wallet (ambas del tipo de clave mnemónico y la billetera de tron de steemit en la cual la clave la envían como un archivo privado una vez se crea.
Finally I would like to thank @sapwood for his excellent lessons this has been a great help to understand the importance of the keys in the security of the wallets, I look forward to the next lessons.
Para finalizar quisiera agradecera @sapwood por sus excelentes lecciones esta ha sido de gran ayuda para comprender la importancia de las claves en la seguridad de las billeteras, espero con ansiasa las proximas lecciones

Thank you for submitting homework task-2 in Crypto-Academy.
That seed is known as Mnemonic key, which is a simplified version of the private key which are generally 12 words phrases (15, 18, 21, 24 words also). When you save your Mnemonic key, pay attention to the correct sequence of words, the correct sequence can only unlock your wallet.
You can also find the other forms of the private key(Mnemonic/Keystore file) of your Tron wallet, by clicking on "Export Account".
The best practice to secure your keys is to write it down on a notepad/piece of paper, better break it into 3/4 parts and keep them safe, off-line. Never take a screenshot, never try to store them in an email or cloud storage facilities. You can use a brand new Pen drive to store your keys. But always keep a hardcopy.
Thank you.
