RE: VOTING NOW CLOSED - Foundation Structure Proposal Election - UPDATE: NO REGISTRATION REQUIRED
dPoll can now vote using Steem Keychain
See this post for details, but you can basically use the "vote with keychain button". 
Some tips from @happyme:
- Click on the check-box(s) next to your choices BEFORE clicking to log in and vote.
- Do NOT put the @ symbol in front of your username when entering your Steem account name.
How to use dPoll without needing to trust Steemconnect with active key
- Add posting authority to
dpoll.xyzusing any means (cli wallet, etc). Steem keychain has the ability, and I've set up an example site here with the ability to do so:
- Use this link to log into dpoll.xyz to log into steemconnect using your posting key. This will allow you to select your user in subsequent logins.
- Use dpoll normally (may ask one more time to get comment scope)
- If you wish, use the same mechanism as step (1) to revoke posting auth afterwards.
How to use dPoll temporarily with active key
- Use steemconnect, vote, and then change ALL keys.
Is sc not open source?
Isn't trusting keychain the same as trusting steemconnect?
I've got more.
Yes it is, but different people are at different places when it comes to what they trust.
Does steemconnect have my active key?
No. In theory (auditable) it's all browser side where you sign the transactions. Steemconnect servers won't see it.
That is what I was told when I got here, but I don't code.
So, this flap is over nothing?
Yes and no. I suppose some people just haven't decided to trust steemconnect yet, or are worried about phishing (which just is a matter of either using a password manager or paying attention to the URL I suppose)
