Hello lovely steemit community, I am Emediong Bassey and I am very delighted to be here and also being able to learn, grow and improve my personality at a very accelerated rate. My major source of grow, inspiration and motivation on this platform is that everyone on this platform is nready to teach, guide and support me towards achieving success on this platform. As a newcomer , I was clueless but with the help of these great people, I’ve been able to grow into great steemian. The moment I kick started my journey on the steemit platform, I enrolled for Achievement 1 and I was verified but I’ve not been upvoted uptil now, although I’m very confident that this lovely family will be of full support. The link to my post on Achievement 1 is https://steemit.com/hive-172186/@ebedossantos/achievement-1-introduction-through-verification
The Achievement 2 is of necessity for every new Steemian because it guides you on the the important security system of the Steemit platform, how to use the respective keys to login into steeemit posting platform and also access the steemwallet platform too. I would be supplying answers to the questions asked:
QUESTION 1: Have you recovered all your keys in steemit?
Answer: Upon my full registration on the steemit platform, I downloaded the PDF file that included all my active keys and further proceeded to saving and backing it up for safe keeping, after understanding that steemit does not make provisions for account recovery after account loss. So, my answer to this question is YES!
QUESTION 2: Are you familiar with each of these key features and restrictions?
Answer: Yes, I’ve succinctly studied and gotten myself acquainted with these security keys, their purposes and the points of their utilization on the steemit platform. I can also show you the different keys and their respective purposes on the platform.
Posting Key: This is a very sensitive whose function enables the posting , upvoting, downvoting, resteeming, following and even commenting on the steemit platform. Without this key, it is difficult to post or blog on the steemit platform.
Active Key: This key is tagged “The Transactional key” that enable financial transactions on Steemwallet (the steemit wallet). These transactions includes Transferring of steem cryptocurrency or the steem dollars (SBD). It enable powering up or down(gaining or losing) of Steem Power. This key is also required for the conversion of SBD to Steem and upvoting of posts on the steemit platform. Without this key, it is difficult to make transactions on the platform, and worthy to note is that the posting key cannot replace this key when trying to make transactions.
Owner Key: This is a very important key that is utilized in the reseting of other keys in events of account thefts. It is a very sensitive key that must be well secured because your account can be compromised if it falls into the wrong hands. This key can also be used to redeem an account that has been compromised after 30days period.
Master Key: As the implies, this key acts like the highly regarded master key. This key is the most superior key and it is the key used to generate other keys. So therefore, the master is capable of being used to steal your account or assess your blog or wallet. Therefore it is of most importance that this key is concealed from anyone and must be safely backed up, so as to enable account recovery, in events of account recovery.

QUESTION 3: How do plan to keep your master key safe?
My Master key has successfully saved on my Google drive cloud storage account, on my email account, and I’ve written it down on a jotter and safely stored it amongst s my important cred entials at home. All these options are safely beyond the reach of any third party.
QUESTION 4: Do I know how to transfer my steem token to another steem user account?
Answer: Certainly, I do. Of which I’m going to share the steps below:
Step 1: Login into your steemit account using your private posting

Once you’ve inserted your Active key, you’ll be powered up. Not powering depends on the steem value or SBD value utilized.

Hello my friend welcome to the steemit platform. You will never regret being on this platform. On this platform there are many activities that you can partake in. Join communities and start blogging. You can post anything in the website such as cooking, sports , medicine,music or just post your talents and good ideas. Avoid posting pornographic and harsh words. It's advisable to join steemit nursery were you can post anything and know what you are best at. On the platform if you're consistent, you will have success. Know that good things take a while to be enjoyed, so do not expect fast and magical success, put in your time and talent or ideas and be consistent. You cannot post many things in a day if your steem power is low. You need to do contest and post often so you can get rewarded and have a good steempower. You can use a 100 percent power up or 50sp and 50sbd. Do not try to compete with any one, it will only make you confused and make you stressed up, so work hard to be good for your self. Another way to get good up votes is by joining community support programs. As a new comer you can do a quick reading over acheivement 1 to 3 and get basic rules that are obligatory for you . Acheivement 2 is talking about your keys, if you misuse them or loose your account it cannot be retrieved. You need to keep your keys well, by sending them to your email, note pad, printing them etc . Check your wallet transaction daily to know if someone tempered with your account.
After you have logged into your account,and your wallet, sometimes you will have pup ups that ask you often to put your active key before carrying out any action, do not put it, tap on the (x) above it and reload your page. If it persist, contact your country representative or an old member you know so that you will not risk getting your account hacked. Acheivement 3 is about plagiarism. It sounds like a very big word. It means you should have nothing to do with copying and pasting if you cannot site a source. If you want post the same thing in more than one community, you have to use #tags so that your post will appear in the other groups. If you find something online do not fail to cite a source before posting or your post will be down voted , muted, and flag which will only tarnish your reputation on the platform because people will not take you serious and you will be stagnant.

The number next to your name is a reputation number which shows how you have been up voted and down voted, the more good Content you post, the more good reputation and followers you will have and the more down votes you get will not be good.

Do not see people happy or getting up votes and be discouraged. When you are consistent and discipline the curators will visit you.

Note that the more you do your acheivements, the more educated you become about the steem platform. Always comment and upvote post of people and replied comments from people even if it shows 0.00.
Follow steemblog for updates and always pass by the newcomers community daily to check the notice board for announcement.
If you find difficulties in anything, ask your questions under comments in the newcomers community. Steemit and steemians love you and wants to see you succeed. Steem on and meet you at the top.
