I need help! My computer crashed with all my keys 😱
I found Steemit keys, but all my money is in Hive where I now post, regularly.
Tried to login at peakd or hive.blog & they don’t work...
Good news is that I can access Hive through esteem app on my phone, which is how I’m posting this.
I can access my wallet, too, but unable to transfer funds...
Got message to check private key permission.. so, I guess,my active key would have to be in there for it to work
Any help appreciated 🙏🏼 @tarazkp, @fredrikaa, @ericvancewalton ?

Thanks, @nathanmars. Would be great if @guiltyparties can help 🙏🏼
Hey, message me on Discord please.
Any luck yet @yahialababidi?
Thanks, for your concern and follow up @ericvancewalton. Still no luck... If you wouldn’t mind, I could try (as a test) transferring to you say 1000 Hive and —-if it’s not too much trouble —- you send it to me as Litecoin?
So sorry to hear that! I’d be happy to do that for you but, unfortunately, here in the US we have to pay a 30% tax on those kinds of transactions. Someone based outside of the US might be best. Have you tried using Blocktrades? I don’t know if there’s an LTC option there but you can exchange Hive for BTC or ETH.
Thanks, for letting me know, Eric.
Just wishful thinking as it seems I only have posting key & can’t do much.
You’re welcome. That’s horrible! I hope can recover your keys.
Me, too 🙌🏼
Dang computer problems! Maybe you can boot it in Safe Mode and run diagnostic tests. For Windows, you get into Safe Mode by holding down F8 or F5 or Shift when you power up your computer.
But if you have all your Steem keys, they should also work on Hive sites. Try to login with your Private Posting key first. If that doesn't work, you can try your Private Active key or your Password.
I hope you are able to resolve this annoying issue!
Thank you, for your sympathy, Kenny.
I’ve tried safe mode (I thought it was f4, but no luck... Can try, again, with f5 & f8 once it starts.
I thought Hive and Steemit keys were the same, too, @ericvancewalton, but they must have changed, as I can’t get into Hive account, now.
Frustrating seeing my wallet on @esteem but not being able to access my funds...
Computers, like animals, must sense fear and act, accordingly.
if you did not change them, they are the same.
I must have changed them 🤦🏻♂️
Sorry to hear your computer crashed. Let's see. First things first:
1: Did you change your Hive keys after the Hive blockchain was launched?
2: Which Steem keys do you have? (Posting, Active, Memo, Master password?)
You need:
Thanks, @Soyrosa for your help & concern. Yes, it seems I changed Hive keys, at some point, since I have all 4 Steem keys and none of those working :(
I’m sorry to hear your computer crashed! I assumed the Steemit and Hive keys were the same. I had issues yesterday trying to transfer HBD to another Hive user, I kept getting a “broadcast transmission error”. It worked after about the sixth try though.
