STEEMIT 101 | ~#43: Basic Resources to Help You on Steemit. | For All the New People Arriving Daily.

in #steemit6 years ago (edited)


Keeping my word to continue to share / re-share Steemit 101 type things because I had help when I was new, and we have new users daily who are lost like we were when we were new!

Hoping my regular Steemit 101 / Crypto 101 type posts continue to help all the new people coming daily.

It may not help YOU if you have been here weeks or months, but I always remember some people have been here hours, or days, and they need the resources like we did, when we were new.

Everyone will be new at some point, we should help one another how we can. That is what community is about.

Attached just below are screenshots / overview of the page / resource today:

I was tidying something up online tech wise on another computer awhile back, very late for me here, when I noticed my friend and yours - @shayne post about this and I figured it was my prodding to finally get to it and do a post myself so if you have not followed Shayne, please check out his page and posts.

He does support people online with his comments and votes and puts out good content!

-- He's an Independent Optimist! LOL

Shayne has a YouTube channel also if you would like to learn more about the Crypto life...... and he is on the twitter also.

Thanks Shayne!


You may have to delete the letters in the field and enter yours and make sure you insert the @ symbol or it will not work. Some say it works either way incl. the developer - but I tried it all, and that was the only way it would work for me.

It was designed by @ ausbitbank who knows his coding and developing, and who cares about TRUTH being reported to the masses.

Here's what the landing page looks like when you arrive:

Everything has changed there now. It then asks you to input your keys and info, via SteemConnect to use it which is a bummer.

It used to be nice and easy like this:

The page and tool was clean, loaded quickly and was effective. Simple.

I opted not to login and show all this.

I am not a fan of how so many things here now create so many extra steps for everyone, the new users are getting lost.

Having some things connected to SteemConnect before you can even use it, and force you to login with your various keys, confuses people and seems to lock in profits or something for the developers -- which likely do not benefit the average user much....

When you input your @username -- the site thinks for a bit and then (used to) spit out something like this:


Recent Past Steemit 101 / Steemit101/ (#Steemit101) Resources...


Today I am sharing some tips I gave to a Minnow on one of my posts who asked for some advice.


TLDR: Make GOOD COMMENTS that are RELATIVE to the post you are commenting on.

... here's part of that convo from my blog unedited but cleaned up:


@chr7is

Any tips or tricks for a minnow?

... but you seem to usually make pretty decent comments relating to the posts you take time on, keep that up.

That is one of the big lessons to learn and practice early on...... many fail here and people READ the comments on their blogs looking for this.

Trust me.

Even go thru 5 of my blogs, pick any 5. I cannot get here as much anymore for replies and curation but when I do, look at the votes I give, to whom and who I reply to.

And most Sr. Steemians do the same.

........Case in point, there is an UV and a decent reply to you right here today LOL

We had that talk on my post HERE


Steemit 101 Balance of Resources/Template:

BONUS INFO:


TODAY: What is a Private Key?

First AND MOST IMPORTANT BESIDES PROPER BACK UPS/INFO: You should NEVER share your private key with anyone else and you should never store your private key online.

I repeat .......... You should NEVER share your private key with anyone else and you should never store your private key online.

The private key is crucial to keeping your coins /account safe.

It's the counterpart to your public key that you use publicly and is expressed at times as a wallet address. This is unique to you and only you should know/have access to your private key. It's an alphanumeric string that signs a digital communication once hashed with your public key.

You can dig deeper into the technical stuff here: https://blog.wetrust.io/why-do-i-need-a-public-and-private-key-on-the-blockchain-c2ea74a69e76

Another way that a private key is expressed is referred to as the recovery seed, a twelve to twenty four word phrase that allows you access your coins through any wallet or device.

Keep an eye on your Crypto and Security!!!!

Steemit has a slightly different key system but the basics are THE SAME!

Let’s say you have lost your your hardware wallet or your current wallet provider does not support a coin held by your address, but you have responsibly kept your backup seed phrase to restore the wallet.

You'll find the recovery wallet option of the third party service you are using and the seed will allow access after entering the random words from your seed, the interface may ask for a password or pin and your new device/wallet should show your funds.


Today I am sharing/reposting/reminding Steemians of this resource!


Give it a Try & Bookmark It Today To Help You Friends!


Some sites that were always up, have gone down - some for good I think.... some for days or hours.... then some new ones have popped up also, we will cover them one by one.

Stay tuned here!!

We have to keep things simple here LOL.


If you do not like this resource I will give you your money back you spent on this post reading it LOL

(:


Here is the Site Link: Bookmark and Share w. Others

https://steemd.com/

Stick your @username there at the end for YOUR page. The SteemD.com link without it shows all current PLATFORM activity and stats. Both are useful, believe me!!!! (like this -- https://steemd.com/@barrydutton)


Now be advised, these are older screenshots above and below but the pages are laid out the same.

I edited and made many months ago, for the Steemit101 series, but the essence of everything you need to know has not changed in that nothing is missing -

  • the new SteemD.com is a little cleaner, with some extra features -- here is a quick screenshot of my page and then a screenie I made a few mths ago, when the changes came out, you can see that:


Notes:


Point 1- Use this url / domain to track ALL your up to date account info on the Blockchain.

--

-- I just leave it up on a tab most of the time. Easy way to remember the url / domain name is it basically matches your Steemit.com/yourname address, -- you just swap out the "it" and insert a "d" -- and really, it shows you what has BEEN Steemed... not what may be steemed! (:

2 easy ways to remember this resource, that I did when I found it as a new Steemer.

--

Points 2/3/4 - Live / Up to date Trackers of all your key stats ie -

--

-- Post Counts, Voting Power, All your STEEM currency + Awards etc. and more -- ALL your activity on the Blockchain in one place!


Barry, Why Do You Keep Sharing Steemit 101 Resources??


I hope to continue to help people here. I really do maintain a Minnow Mindset.

There's new people arriving daily -- I've always been highly aware of this.

I know what it feels like to be new, overlooked, or forgotten about. I say it often to remind people I do care -- and do relate and remember.

We can do more together. That is my philosophy.

Resharing this one..... This is a KEY everyday thing to understand in the markets. So many new people coming daily and posts often also miss people in other timezones..... 2 things I try and remember, to help people and be aware of, thanks.

My Philosophy In Daily Life & Travels:

--

I have always tried to be kind to people every day, as part of my life Philosophy, since I have always believed we can achieve more TOGETHER.

Please note -- I will have limited internet access for awhile -- so PLEASE do not be upset that I cannot reply right away, or to everyone. I am dealing with some changes, and will have limited time online and will be happy if I get a few blog posts up a week.
This has really upset some people but I do not force my opinions on others, or need to communicate every detail of my life or issues, most people do not care anyways. I invested around 10 hours or more a day on Steemit most of my first 13 mths here, I just do not have that time in my life right now, and that includes for replies and voting/curation.
I have done my best, sorry if you do not understand like some are clearly having a problem with. It's a blogging platform, and I will do my best at everything, and to keep blogging.
Carry On.

Around 9000 members can join steemit daily. and 95% of them will struggling on steemit

Resteeemed, especially for the warning about private keys.

Some applications demand private keys to login. Is it safe ? I guess dMania does that. It uses Steemconnect to login I guess.
