Be extremely careful providing your active key to anyone or any site.
This key allows anyone in possession of it to access all the money in your account.
It is not recommended that you share this key with anyone for any reason!

So if i understand correctly you don't recommend to use this option to delegate SP?
Thanks for warning! I nearly did it!
Thanks @sneak! I updated the post with a warning.

Hello I have a question, (because I trust you and vote for you as a witness)!
This cool dude called @artopium wants me to join his project " @ArtTurtle", and he wants me to sign up by using: https://www.artopium.com/space20/myartopium.cgi
This sounds really cool, but is this safe?
I would really value your opinion since you are so knowledgeable in these matters.
And Im not...Trying to read up on it... Thanks for sharing this article!!!
Sincerely!

I haven't heard of it before. If it is an independent sign-up (doesn't require you to ever enter your Steem keys) then I don't see any issues on the surface. I definitely would not enter your private keys into the site though.
Okay thanks for the advice @timcliff!
Would private "steem-keys" include for instance my steemit password?
(Thanks again for your advice, I appreciate it!)
Cheers!

Yes
Okay, thanks!
So can I trust the Busy.org team to keep my key safe? Or will they one day deplete my account... :S
If you see a powerdown you didn't authorise, you can always use your password to change your active key and cancel the powerdown, as I understand, although you'd lose anything you were holding in liquid form.
Either way, just dropped in to confirm these instructions worked a treat.
I'm going on holiday for a bit, and just delegated my voting power to @holoz0r.
I can already see it in his wallet. Thanks @timcliff.
Actually I guess with the possession of an active key you can always change the active key itself..
And undelegated okay a month later. Thanks again.
I have successfully delegate before and now for some reason I cant, its saying my active key is invalid. any ideas?
I am unable to delegate
