(SOLVED!!!) - Can't login to DTube?? Private Posting Key is Wrong??
Hey Guys!
Have you recently joined Steemit and found that you can't login to DTube? If you got the error "Private Posting Key is Wrong" then read on for the solution.
My first post to Steemit is born out of my mission to discover more about the platform and to share what I have learned along the way with the Steemit community and the world at large.
Having discovered Steem, Steemit and DTube in the last few days, I was anxious to get started posting content and discovering the possibilities of the platform.
Why is my Private Posting Key Wrong?
Upon trying to log in to DTube using my Steemit username and Private Key I, too, was met with the error message "Private Posting Key is Wrong". Figuring I had made some mistake I decided to investigate a little further and found that the "Private Posting Key" is a separate beast from the "Private Key" used to log in to Steemit.
To find your "Private Posting Key" do the following:
1. Log in to you Steemit Account STEEMIT.COM
2. Click on the profile icon at the top-right and select "Change Password" or "Wallet" from the dropdown menu
3. Next, click on the "Permissions" tab and you will see your posting key and some others listed there. NOTE: THIS IS NOT YOUR PRIVATE POSTING KEY
4. To the right of the listed "Posting" key is a button labeled "Show Private Key". Click this and your "Private Posting Key" will be revealed.
5. Copy the newly revealed "Private Posting Key" and paste it into the password field on DTube and, voila!!! you're in.
.
I hope this post is useful to new users to the community. I will be posting mini howtos and problem solvers as i go along, not just about Steemit but regarding anything I learn. Steemit is a truly exciting platform, though, by my reckoning.
I have decided to try posting all content to Steemit in the first instance to utilise the features of the blockchain. Can't wait for the Smart Media Tokens. Oh, Boy!!!...
