The basic security in steem is an issue that for me is one of the most important because each user must understand that their keys are non-transferable, that they must be protected and not lose it because we run the risk of being stolen all our rewards that generate the publications. Remember! they are unique keys.

  • Are there different keys?

Yes, certainly yes. When I registered with Steemit, it immediately gave me the option to download the keys from my wallet associated with my user. When I opened the pdf file I was surprised to see so many qr codes, numbers and letters, and immediately wondered what this is? My friends Steemians who helped me sign up for the platform, explained to me why there are several keys and when reading a little more of other publications, I understood their true importance. In summary there are the following keys:

Memo key is used to encrypt or decrypt memos. This when done to transfer.

Publishing key This key is used to activate the account and have access at the time of publishing. Also the option to vote and comment and edit.

Activation key this key is used to activate the wallet, to make transfers of funds of steem and steem dollars, to do power up, to enter and buy or sell steem /sbd in the coin market.

Owner key is the most important and the main one, because this key allows you to change the rest of the keys.

  • Have you obtained and saved all your Steemit passwords?

Yes. It was easy to get the passwords from steemit and immediately save them on my personal computer which has a secret key to log in. Also, print the sheet and store it in a safe place that only I know.

  • Do you know all the functions and restrictions of the keys?

Yes. I know each of them and their restrictions. As I explained at the beginning. Keys: memo, publication, activation, owner and master.

  • How do you plan to keep your master key safe?

The master key like the other keys I have safe on my personal computer. I configure the file, so that when I open it it asks me for a key, which only I know.

  • Do you know how to transfer your Steem tokens to another Steem user?

Yes. It's very easy. Only the active key is needed to activate the transfer option. He then indicated the procedure.

First, you click on the wallet, then in the option three stripes located in the corner, you can click and choose the option to register, with the purpose of activating the wallet and being able to make the transfers.

Second, the user and the active key are placed. You click Start Session.

Third, click on the tab where the amount appears in steem, displaying a list and choose to transfer.

Fourth step, the user is placed where the steem and the amount of steem are destined. In the memo, place some comment, such as payment or transfer or you can simply leave it blank and click next.

Finally, the data is checked and then clicked ok to confirm the transaction. And that's it! The steem have been transferred to the destination account.

  • Do you know how to perform the power up process in Steem?

Yes. It is also super easy to do Power up in steem. Doing power up is extremely important for my account, because that helps to strengthen the account, that it has voting power and it also helps that the posts I have a little more reward. The important thing is to publish quality and exclusive information. He then indicated the procedure to follow to make power up.

In the wallet, the option is activated to enable transfer and do Power up, placing the user and the key active.

Then, in Steem you click and unload a list where you click on power up. On the next screen you should place the amount of steem to convert and click on power up.

Finally, the transaction is reviewed and confirmed. And that's it! On the wallet screen you will see that the steem is subtracted and added in power up.
