Damn you post a lot! Impressive.
Alright man I don't know if I've mentioned it but you know how German Shepherds are eerily smart? Like smart-smart, I've always waited for them to talk English, I'd be "finally!" Thing is you gotta taallkk reeeeeaal slooooow.
So I uploaded my private key on keychain. Dude wtf am I missing?! I still can't search or browse or anything. I kinda looked around and I have to sign back into PeakD from keychain to browse and not sign into PeakD online? It's the same PeakD right?
I must be missing something. Is there a reason you use keychain over PeakD and Ecency and, if so, why and how do I do it?
Thanks for your patience.
Edit
Don't worry about it dude, I removed my account. I spent at least an hour just now trying to figure out wtf its use could be. :crickets:

Never did figure it out. Anything that difficult isn't worth it. I hope brand new people don't try to access the blockchain through Keychain. I must be missing something.
Go through all the sign in process and validate your pin and shit but then you can't use it and have to use hivesigner anyway. That was my first wtf moment. I never learned how to see my comment section, that was probably the 5th or 6th wtf moment. In plain sight is my wallet balance which is in plain sight anywhere. I never saw my content, couldn't find it anywhere unless of course i wanted to install more apps and sign in with hivesigner again.
I'm sure it's just me but Keychain is pointless. In more than 4 years that's the most confused I've been.
@stoodkev sorry for the random tag but do you know if anyone has done a video tutorial for how to use the Hive keychain app for phones? Trying to help my friend here! Thanks for any help!
Not a video, but here's a great guide written by a community member for Splinterlands (mobile is on the bottom of the post) :

Works the same way with PeakD or any other dApp that supports Keychain login.
@dandays
Awesome thank you! Hopefully he can figure it out now!
Thank you!
Don’t worry man! I use keychain for active key transactions.
When you log into keychain, go to browser and then on the choices for Social go to PeakD which brings you to their site.
When you are on the PeakD site when using the keychain app, you log in just by entering your account name then a pop up will appear asking if you want to authorize PeakD to use your posting key which you will do. Then you are logged into PeakD now and you can even choose “do not ask me to sign posting key transactions on this site again” and it won’t ask you. It should stay logged in now.
I use the keychain app on PeakD to claim account creation tokens on the wallet page. I also use the wallet page to transfer HBD to my savings account or move funds back to my liquid. I use it to power up as well on power up day. Then I used it to send you that memo a few months back with the memo key.
The reason I prefer it over others is you know the active key is encrypted on your device versus being broadcast over the internet. That’s important security right there!
I know what you mean with visuals and stuff, let me see if there’s a YouTube video on this!
Here’s a video that applies to the desktop version but works very similar for the app!

Dammit. I removed my account already. I just edited my previous comment to you from a concern to a full blown tantrum.
👊🏼
Hold up taking screenshots for you
I can't believe that just happened!!!!!!
This is all Keychain's fault. I've responded to myself countless times dude but that is the 2nd time I upvoted my own motherf'ing comment!!
How embarrassing.
Hahah ok so it sounds like you're done with keychain?
I know it’s a little challenging to get it rolling initially, I think I’ll work on a video tutorial if I can figure out how to do that lol
This screenshot section comes second to the one earlier
I SO appreciate these screen shots cmplxty. You're right, it would get easier over time I'm sure. I should've maybe kinda steered the course now....
Video sounds cool. Thanks for attaching that YouTube tutorial. I guess I could always give it another shot, I'm sure it's simpler than I'm making it. Just seems most things that require a YouTube tutorial are too complicated to begin with.
You're welcome man, let's see if stoodkev has any help he can offer! He's one of the devs for the thing I think.
