Steemit, I NEED ANSWERS!!!

in #steemit8 years ago (edited)

Yesterday I made a post about an account on here but I didn't get much of a discussion going.

https://steemit.com/steemit/@ibai/check-out-this-account-probably-the-largest-account-on-steemit-worth-almost-the-entire-market-cap-right-now

Here are my questions:

1. Who manages this account (https://steemit.com/@steemit/transfers) and the accounts attached to it, such as "steem", "steemit1", "steemit2", blocktrades, bittrex, ...?

2. Why does the account "steem" (https://steemit.com/@steem/transfers) have no history showing even though just 5 days ago 50,000 STEEM were sent to there?

3. Where are our private and public keys for transacting? Is it easy to have a wallet apart from steemit.com?

I'll probably have more questions later but I'll be happy if these ones are addressed. Thank you! :)

Sort:  
  1. "steem" accounts are technical acounts used to run this site and bittrex is bittrex - an crypto exchange
  2. it has no history because no one uses it to post posts ...
  3. your keys are in permissions tab in your profile @ibai

I understand you don't know these things and you want to ask but please do it without spamming other categories ...

Thank you for your reply! I want to know who manages these accounts. "steem" has no history of any transactions even though payments received are logged in other accounts and payments were sent to "steem". Can I create a key pair in my computer and send STEEM to myself away from steemit.com? Can I see a block explorer for the Steem chain?

steemit is just a site ... your money are in a wallet on the STEEM blockchain and you can access it trought this site or via a cli_wallet ... the wallet as the name suggest is Command Line Interface only and can be downloaded from github here: https://github.com/steemit/steem/releases ... also if you want and "independent" account you'll have to mine at least one block od STEEM to an unexisting account which will be created in the process of mining (there are mining tutorials on this site) ... if you want some more info on everything there's a less user-friendly site steemd which includes more in depth info on posts and accounts:
for example check your own account here https://steemd.com/@ibai

Thank you so much. This is very helpful. If I'm not able to mine a block I cannot have my own account away from the site. oh :( No block explorer? Is it true that I need to connect to a specific server to mine?

It's more like solo mining and you'll be able to do it with any computer that has a CPU ;D ... you have to set up a steemd node, sync the chain and mine for about a half a day on an intel i7 ...

this is a good guide to mining both on windows and linux (as it describes a linux vm on windows):
https://steemit.com/steem/@pfunk/guide-maximize-your-mining-hashrate-in-windows-by-mining-steem-in-a-vm

just remember to also set the "private-key" in config ini ... it has to be without quote marks, unlike other keys in that config file ...

here's a hashing comparison for some CPU's:

As it comes to block explorers ... that steemd.com page is the closest thing afaik ...

Not many people seem to care.

Im very interested in seeing where all this goes.

It seem that most of the money is in Steem Power and in these accounts. Here is a post I made about liquidity. https://steemit.com/steemit/@ibai/the-reason-for-steem-s-low-daily-volume

Aah i agree but i don't care may b that's admin accounts for test because the site still in beta version he may b testing and even he can't answer every questions so don't worry

Over 58M STEEM are becoming liquid in a single account, that's about 250M USD at the current exchange rate. Why do you not care?
