RE: Do you have questions about communities? Fire away!
It was exactly at the point when I clicked continue after downloading the keys. Then this came up.
I just tried it again, and met the exact same fate. This is the second page I arrive at during the process. I never am prompted to enter keys or anything other than name the community and provide a description, and then download the keys. There is a check box verifying the keys are saved safely, and I do check that before clicking continue.
This is an error thrown by SteemConnect and maybe @asgarth can check the logs to see what was going on.
By the way, are you sure you entered the private active key in SteemConnect when you were asked for it, instead of the posting key?
If you are comfortable with this, you can create the community in-between from Steempeak if you install Steem Keychain extension or via steemit.com.
I was never asked for a key. There was no place to enter a key. Before the above screenshot, the only page I saw was the very beginning of the process, where you name the community, add a description, download the keys and check the box to verify they are saved before clicking continue.
Keychain does not work on Tron's proprietary browser Opera, which is what I am using. I do prefer Steempeak to Steemit though. Sorry Tron!
I am unclear as to what you mean by 'create the community in-between from Steempeak..'
Thank you very much for the information that it is a steemconnect error. I do hope @asgarth notes the ping and satisfactorily resolves the issue.
Ok, so maybe there's a problem with the SteemConnect link (for creating communities). cc @asgarth.
I meant using Keychain.
I'm using Opera with Keychain! You just have to install the 'Install Chrome Extensions' extension for Opera first.
I'll be. I undertook no little discussion regarding Opera not being able to use Keychain on a discord last year. I, again, greatly appreciate the info. I will have a look at the Chrome extensions thingie.
Will it give all my data to Goolag?
The extension is created by Opera. I doubt they'll give your data to Google. That doesn't mean they don't use the user data themselves. :D
@justinsunsteemit is far less nefarious than Goolag.
Thanks!
I need to reboot. BBIAF
Back, but now searching for the 'install Chrome Extension' widget...
Chrome Extension installed. Now searching for Keychain...
All installed. Lemme try the community again.
Haha, that might be true!
It didn't try Keychain. It went to Steemconnect again and failed again.
Logout first!
Until asgarth (or @fabien) will fix this, SteemConnect will keep failing for creating communities on Steempeak. It's a good time to try Keychain. Once you install it and enter the private keys for your account, it will be used by default on Steempeak.
Keychain does not accept my active key, and until I disabled it I could not post or vote.
