RE: The Beginner's Guide to Steemit, Part 2: Logging In and Keeping Your Account Safe
Excellent yet again. The analogy of the house was great, it really helps to picture how important the various keys are.
The only thing I would maybe consider is where you said to store your keys on the computer. As much as it probably won't matter, it's easy to get malware if you're not clued up. USB and SD card are a good shout for your keys, as long as you keep a backup and you eject and remove them properly.
Well written and I enjoyed reading, good job mate. Any clue what the next part is going to be about?
Hey @calumam! Thanks for stopping by! I believe I'm going to go back and add a section about encryption and offline storage. I believe you're right that USB drives are a more secure way of storing the keys in the event of malware.
The next lesson is about the wallet and token system. It explains wallet functions and STEEM, STEEM power, and STEEM dollars. I expect it to be one of the most useful lessons in the guide. It should be out soon!
