Than they misspoke in this clip, because word for word you can no longer use higher authority keys for other actions. That is what was said, again not a issue for me, but as dumb as it was there were accounts who don’t even understand there keys and are missing half of them , then they hear a week b4 this is changing. I’m with u that is beyond foolish! But just wish this wasn’t so confusing. They say in clip , now you say no not case?
Let me make sure I’m saying it right, and yes nobody’s saying this account was not incredibly foolish! - One guy doesn’t even know what key he’s been using for wallet, he just knows it works. He hears after fork higher authority keys will no longer work so he’s concerned, he’s also missing master key since 2018. Whatever is working now will still work? He wrote down wallet & posting, and has just never started over which he should have but anyway that’s the case I’m talking about.
PS- I appreciate the direct reply 👍
Much thanks!
There's no such thing as a "master key". Hive knows only about your owner key, active key, posting key and memo key. In some cases those were derived from a string that was called "Master Password", as it is a seed for those individual keys, but that's irrelevant to the change.
For example, before the change you could sign your upvote transaction with your active key, after HF28 goes live, you can't. If you've lost your posting key and no longer have it, you can still use your active key to change your posting key - problem solved.
If someone lost their owner key, well, then game over. They can still use other keys if they have it, but without owner key they are at risk of losing access to the acocunt. HF28 doesn't change anything in this matter.
still don’t understand why in the Hive fest video they said it then? But much appreciate you clearing that up! Yes I meant owner key not master key. Sorry for misspeaking, so even without owner key they should be fine using whatever key they have been that works for wallet, I understand 👍 thanks again! I know you get a lot of people reaching out and I appreciate u taking the time to reply. Cheers!! !PIZZA
I'm glad you are happy, and it's even OK to unapprove my witness by you ;-) (because active participation in Hive governance is really important, regardless of personal preferences), just please while you verify your witness list, at least stop voting for witnesses that don't even produce blocks, because, that actually is objectively hurting the network by increase in missing blocks.
Mind telling me who to Remove? I honestly am outta the loop and have no idea who to vote besides a small handful. I usually just copy friends choices. I added u back in meantime 👍, wasn’t personal, I just removed at random to vote a new one. But I have no idea about this stuff. But for now ur back as one of my 20 👍
OMG, OK, please, be aware that taking part in the governance is an important (both in real live and on Hive, as if we won't take decisions others will happily do that for us). Of course all is up to you, but for example thecryptodrive isn't active for years, and klye is missing blocks for days already.
I appreciate you letting me know 👍
Making fixes now 👍
Awesome, thanks :-)
