RE: SCT Update 1.0.6 ~ Too many 'Challenges' in your Feed? Here comes the new 'Challenge-Filter' for Steemit ;)

Thanks! Did you use your 'private posting key'? Never use your Steemit-Password! You should use the posting-key for the login on Steemit too.

In your wallet go to tab 'permissions' and click on 'show private key' to get your private key. I would recommend you to copy the key to a text file on your computer so that you always have fast access to it. Same goes for the 'active key' when you want to make transfers or use the market.

Thank you for that, and yes I did copy and paste my Posting Key from the "Account Details" part of steemworld. Same error msg ?
And a huge thank you for responding and helping me figure this out!

Copy it from your wallet on Steemit. The keys you see on SteemWorld are the public ones. They are public because they are only being used for transaction signing checks (to see if it was your account that signed a transaction)

Your private keys are secret (nobody knows them and that is important) and they can be used for posting, voting (posting key) / transfers, market orders (active key), etc. The most important keys are the owner key and your Steemit password because with them one can change all your keys and take over your account.

As I said, copy the private posting key from your Steemit Wallet and it should work ;)

Hooray!!! You got through my thick head using bold to show me private posting key...that's the part I was screwing up!! Thank you, thank you! There are so many people I know that are wondering..I'm heading over to Discord to fill them in! Cheers :) And thanks again for such a cool creation!!
