Well, thanks for jumping in. It is frustrating. I get we need to remove accounts that plagiarize or aren't real. But it only takes a second to look at my account, what I post, and the interactions I have with fellow users. I am not some bot or part of a social media farm creating fake content! I use my real name! Seriously.
Anyways, I will try to post again before I head down to San Diego. I don't use PeakD or any other of the interfaces as I don't like the fact I have to use HiveSigner or whatever that requires my private key. I don't give that to any 3rd party, just out of principle!
I will keep boring people with my cybersecurity posts unless these @HiveWatchers continue harassing me for no reason.
Peaks does not require you to give them your key. It is only stored in local storage and transactions are signed locally.
This is true with peaklock (which I only use for mobile) and keychain which is the most popular Hive solution for authentication. Your key is never sent over the wire in either scenario.
Hive also has multiple keys that compartmentalizes authorization, in most cases you only ever need your posting key which has no access to funds or critical operations.
I need to look at it again then. As I remember there was a webform that required one of the sensitive private keys. I recall not wanting to put my key into their website.
They all can take a key if you choose to use that method. They all handle it locally only and broadcast signed transactions.
They all can use hive keychain (extension) that holds keys locally and also broadcasts signed transactions. This is what 99% of people use I believe.
Peakd also has peaklock a local wallet for keys simpler to keychain but without the extension.
If I have to input it into someone's website, it is not truly local.
Browser extensions are pure evil and a hackers wet-dream, so I don't use those for authentication.
So, I think I am out of luck. Which is fine, as long as HIVE is working properly.
If they ever allow just a posting key, then I would reconsider. Otherwise, I don't like the risk calculus.
How are you using Hive.blog?
I have to put my key into the site. But the site is foundation of trust, as it was created when the fork occurred. It is a first party. Any layer above it is a higher tier party, and therefore less trustworthy.
I.e. logging into my banks website is much more secure than logging into another website that will log into my bank.
I've been getting downvoted by your friend for no reason and did you know your friend runs a comment farm
If you want to speak in private message me on Instagram @kgakakillerg
Which friend?
The marky mark is a bad man who has hurt a lot of people on Hive you should really distance yourself from him but of course you can do as you like I hope you have a wonderful day ahead ✌🏾
Which friend?
He is referring to me, I run the buildawhale burn posts that burn all the rewards and around $10,000-$20,000 a month worth of Hive and HBD.
Ahhhhhh!
