RE: Hive As Freedom System! My Comments on "Using Bitcoin and Stablecoins to Expand Dollar Dominance" - A Whitney Webb & Mark Goodwin Discussion

in Deep Dives5 months ago

I do put my name in to sign in on Peakd, it keeps saying an account already exist with that name. If I could honestly get in by signing on, I'd already be posting there.

I tried to delete the key in the keychain but it won't let me.

Nobody seems to have any solid answers. I asked what if I just delete the keychain and start over, one person said I'd lose my account, another person says that won't happen. To be two months down the road without any real answers, that just sucks.

Sort:  

That doesn't make sense. Peakd is not separate from Hive. Signing up and logging in are different. You can't sign up because you're already signed up, but you can login.

I'm confident it's confusion based user error. Removing a key in keychain is as simple as hitting a button that looks like a trash can. Perhaps you're doing something wrong.

At this point, I don't think I'll be able to help you either.

Give me a screen shot of what that trash can looks like.

  • Press the white menu button, top left corner.
  • Select the word "accounts" (it's a button)
  • Select "manage accounts"
  • Be sure your sunlit7 account is the active account
  • Now look at that little trash can with the x in the middle off to the right.
  • Press it to remove key

It's the same for everyone. You don't need a screenshot. Your private keys are hidden behind your public keys. By following the directions, you'll be able to see which keys you have. The directions are clear. There are only two options. View private key, or the trash button to remove it.

I just did exactly what you told me, the keychain was open right next to your directions. There is no trash can.

Find someone else to help you.

That's all everyone else says. Now it's evident why a decentralized money system is never going to work. Like if that measly amount of money I got in my wallet meant anything, like it was what was left for me to live on for the next week, I'd be frantic someone could just hijack it like that. A few months back someone took a couple of my cards and ran up charges on them. Within 24 hours that got shut down, the charges were reversed, new cards on the way, and my main account even I had to call for a few days to assure them it was me they had put so many barriers in place.

I don't even know if you actually have keys entered in that need removing, sunlit. Only you would know that. So maybe there's no trashcan, because you don't have any keys entered. I don't know. But you would know. You're the manager of your account. Nobody else.

In all due honesty, now I fully understand why on a system such as this, no one keeps all their eggs in one basket. Thanks for trying.

I'm not having the same problems. I don't see others having the same problems. Everyone else using Keychain took the time to learn how. You can, too.

Do I have to right click to bring it up or something? Both those keys, the one that starts with sm and the one that shows up when you click to show the active key aren't consecutive numbers and letters, there's a disruption of dots (....) in them.
