Hi There!! I'm happy to be with you guys again and i must confess i am having a wonderful expirience on the steemit platform.

Question 1.

Have you retrieved all your keys on steemit?

Yes i downloaded the keys and the day i created my steemit account and saved it on my laptop, printed a copy out, backed it up on my google drive.

Question 2

Do you know each of these key functions and restrictions

The pdf I downloaded on the day I created my password contains a number of keys with numerous functions. These are examined as seen below;

The Master key.
The master key is like the mother key. Mother key in the sense that it can be used to generate all the other keys. It should therefore be kept jealously.

The Posting Key

This is the most widely used key on steemit as it is used to login to your steemit account, Make a post, upvoting, down voting, commenting, editing and muting an account.

The Memo Key.

This key is rarely used but it does not mean it does not have a function. It is used to encrypting and decrypting Memos when transfering funds.

The Active Key.

The Active key is mostly used to validate financial transactions on steemit. These financial transactions may include; The transfer of steem, power up, coverting SBDs to steem, transfering SBDs to other accounts, powering down, Voting for witnesses. It is of utmost importance.

The Owner key.
