in Newcomers' Community3 years ago (edited)

Hello steemians,hope you are good

Today i will be writing on basic security on steem i.e how you can ensure your steem details are well protected and safe..

Question 1
Have you retrieve all your keys on steemit?

This is one of the most important part in steemit retrieving your keys and ensuring they are being kept in safe hands..you neccesarily dont need to keep your keys online incase there might be an hack on your account ,you can just have it safe to your computer or an external hard-disk just like i did so as to avoid any unnecesary mistakes like your computer might crash sometimes so its better to just have it saved on an external device..

Question2
Do you know each of these key functions and restrictions?

Yes i understand lots on the keys fuctions according to my understanding i will shed light on it as well.
so there are four keys with specific functions ..
the keys are listed;
1.Posting Key
2.Memo Key
3.Active Key
4.Owner Key

Now let me give details on each keys mentioned above:

1.posting key: These key is more of a presenting key which permits accounts to post, give remarks, allow users to vote, resteem, and follows account or choose what to see on others records. and as well you sign in consistently with this posting key.

2.Memo key: This key is mostly utilized for encoding and decoding reminders when moving coins on steemit ,examples of coins on steemit are (TRX,STEEM,STEEMDOLLAR,and SBD).

3.Active key:The key is dynamic in a way by which it is intended for more delicate undertakings like transferring funds, powering up/down exchanges, converting over Steem Dollars, deciding in favor of witnesses, refreshing profile and putting in a market request at a time.

4.Owner key:These key is proprietory simply implied for use when vital. It is the most remarkable key since it can change any key of a record, including the owners key itself . Preferably, for safety its best if these key is kept offline, and simply used to recuperate a compromised account.

Question 3
How do you plan to keep your master password?

master password are believe to be the most relevant because it can be used to retrieve other keys so its best to have a spare safe box for it,simply in a way of creating a separate online safe account purposely for it or have it saved offline and an exernal storage kept hidden..

Question 4
Do you know how to transfer your steem token to another steem user account?

Yes, i understand how transactions work on steem ..so transfering token from my account to another steem user is easy for me which i make use of the active key..
Here below am going to be giving details on how to transfer token on steemit follow up.

First step

you have to log in to steemit then by the top right you see a wallet icon then you click on wallet icon then you get something like this

Question 5

Yes,i do know how to power up on my steem and am as well going to be giving details on how to do that.
powerin up on steem simply means converting your SBD to steem..which all are still done by going through the process similar to the one above .so before you can power up you simply need to log in to your wallet with your ideal key as well..
