RE: Steemit's Security Values & How Steem Keychain Can Help
Yes, you're right, but here's why Keychain is still a better solution (IMO):
- It's MUCH easier to install and run the Keychain extension locally than it is to do the same for Condenser; and
- If you use the Keychain extension then you can securely use your keys on ANY Steem-based website that supports Keychain (which will hopefully be almost all of them in the near future) whereas you can't realistically install and run every Steem-based website you want to use locally.
- It avoids copy/paste errors. I know I've forgotten that I had a private key copied to my clipboard from logging into a Steem-based site and accidentally pasted it somewhere it wasn't supposed to go. Luckily I never published it or anything, but I know people who have and who lost funds because of it.
Lastly, aside from the security aspects, it's a really useful tool, especially if you manage multiple Steem accounts. At this point I couldn't imagine using Steem without it.
When you install an extension from the Chrome web store, it simply downloads the files and drops them into a folder for Chrome to access. So yes, you can verify by running a diff on the folder vs. the github. Or download directly from github, skipping the web store.
Thank you for your conversation.
Yaba, how about you spend your time doing something for steem that we really need, if you have all this energy, like running and paying for an instagram campaign to promote steem, and organzie your followers with a trending post to register to post on reddit with you maybe meet in a discord and all upvote and post about steemit... or do it in stealth to avoid getting banned by reddit for brigading.. but come on breaking the reddit rules is so sweet and we can totally take over reddit with our numbers but in a polite way, maybe do a steem,it post once every other day..... hey man
hey man, in the words of @walden ,lets go, lets go mother fucker, huh?
U gonna sell some of ur steem monthsers to us huh? Overpriced SHEET
hah cant u imagine walden sayin that?
