RE: The Ultimate Guide for Steemit Beginners: Money, Posts, Design, Topics, Bots, Behaviour, Community and Apps
Thanks for that. It's great. I've bookmarked it as well. There is a question that I'm sure everyone new wonders about and which wasn't answered: What is the number besides each ones' name? I mean the 25 next to my name and the 51 next to yours.
Oh yeah, good question. That is the reputation. It goes up with upvotes and down with downvotes. When it drops below 0 posts previews will not show its content like all adult posts. But I am not sure about that.
I have also a question about the apps that you mention. They require your password when you open them. How do I know my password won't end up in the app's creator hands since these apps are third party, outside of steemit? Also, I can't seem to be able to sign in with chat. I got to the point where they ask me to verify the email they sent me but I received no emails.
So far I have never used my key for anything and all apps work for me. I have seen that you can use your posting key to post directly on ChainBB. But with that they cannot empty your account. Also, one of my links is an incription service for your keys, so you can prevent any third party app to steal it. But I haven't tested it yet.

Never mind my question about chat: I managed to get in using another email. Thank you.

Never mind my question. I just found the answer in the starter guide in the menu. I'm so new here!
