RE: Steemit for Boomers: Why So Many Steemit Passwords???
Dear @littlescribe, by chance I've just learned today what the MEMO key is for (and it's pretty cool, too) ! It's explained in this post from @steemmillionaire.
To exemplify here, I've just used the functionality to send you an encrypted message. I see it clearly in MY wallet and YOU should also be able to read it, but someone "snooping" on the blockchain would see this:
Can you please confirm that you are indeed able to read the memo I've sent by replying to this comment with its clear text ? :-)
OK. Got it! I actually own a chromebook, so I record using screencastify which is a web-based screen recording/editing tool made specifically for chromebooks. It's not top notch, as it is cloud-based, and honestly only like $24 per year. But it fits my chromebook, which I prefer right now as it's hack-resistent. I either upload to my google drive, or I just download to my chromebook (which holds it on the g drive anyway) and then upload to youtube and d-tube. Then I delete from my gdrive, as I'm not paying for extra space right now.
As far as my regular videos, I just record from my android phone and edit from my mac using imovie.
This 007 thing is superfly. The only complaint I have is you have to log in to your account with the master key, and I do NOT like doing that. Even on a chromebook. I just have had too many weird things happen in the past. Ya know? Is there a workaround?
Transfers are done with the Active key I believe so you should be able to use your Active key instead of the master password.
I learned about this comment by reading an encrypted memo published on the public blockchain, and upvoted it in order to promote this Steemit feature. Get more details here: Special Promotion for Usage of Encrypted Steemit Messages
BTW, when looking at the blockchain I've noticed your VP is left unused, which is a pity.
Think that the rewards pool is for everyone and if YOU don't use your VP that leaves more $$$ for haejin and other scammers.
You should try to always use your VP to reward authors that you appreciate and never let it unused at 100%.
And because you can't stay on Steemit all day, there are tools such as steemauto or steemian where you can use your Posting key to instruct these sites to automatically upvote your favorite authors as soon as your VP goes above a threshold (for instance 95%)
More details about this and other such topics in this post
I was thinking, maybe you could do a thing where you go through and tag people for not voting their power, and explain why it's important by linking it to a really watered down version of the "Best Way to Grow" post. Most people won't have the stamina to read or understand a lot of what you've put there. But the concept is pretty straightforward. Vote, or else someone else will have access to that untapped voting power.
Vote after 30 minutes, or it won't count toward you.
Don't vote for yourself until you've given other people a chance to vote for you first, so they can reap from the curation pool.
Neat idea, thank you. I'll try to do something like that.
I just VP'd you 100% on another comment. Thanks for the reminder!!!
thank you :)
I'll go check...oooh, this is so 007.
Use "Transfer" - You note that I've transfered 0.001 SBD to you. So you start a transfer of a sum, any sum but the minimum is 0.001 (probably this is to avoid someone abusing using the system to send spam messages). And when you transfer you can add a "memo". The memo will be in clear unless you prefix it with a #
You can answer my question via encrypted message too, if you want to try. Or do I need to transfer more SBD to earn an answer ? :-D
I was too cheap, right ? I should up the ante ? :-D
