3speak required I link my hive account with my active key..is that safe?

Yes you will need to to that on any hive front end.

How did you hear about hive?

Through a friend.. I was just skeptical about using my active key elsewhere like 3speak other than logging into my account

Same way you used it on peakd ov eccency.

Ask your friend for proper guidance. You need someone to show you these things properly. A standalone would be hectic and tiring which is why people don't stay long.

Or join communities on discord.

You can also search. There are guide posts for all you need as a newbie.

Thanks..I really appreciate your help..
