RE: Network issues over the weekend and questions about Steem attestations

in #steemit6 years ago (edited)

I downloaded the wallet originally under a name other than the rebeccabe in steemit as I see the intructions say to do.

As far as the email. it asks if you would like to receive email updates once installed.

Tried to uninstall .. when reinstalling must be the same wallet.

I am just a contributor on Byteball. There is no way to "download" the wallet under your Steemit name. You just download it and install it and that's it.

If you mean that you named your device or wallet as some other name, then these you can change anytime:

  • Home > Gear icon -> Wallet alias
  • Burger menu > Settings > Device name

But these names doesn't matter much, what is important is the Steem attestation with chatbot.

If you mean by "downloading under the name" as you already made a Steem attestation with other Steemit user then you need to do the clean install.

You are wonderful. Thanks .. I am going to follow you.

@tarmo888 apparently I missed something it must be the same wallet it did not ask me to name it or which wallet I want. It is the simple wallet. So I am not sure how to go about unintalling off my mac. Maybe just create an extra wallet. Waiting to find out what to do. As you can see I am not a techy person.

If you plan to create another wallet inside your current account, make sure it is single-address wallet because only single-address wallets can do attestations (the first "Small Expenses Wallet" created for you is already single-address wallet by default).

If you want more privacy then you can create an extra multi-address wallet, which is bettefor privacy because they are more difficult to track, but not impossible.

If you want to get total privacy then you can buy blackbytes and install TOR (configurable from Settings) to hide your network traffic.

My husband has a steemit account and I have another account in Steemit for photography. So when they apply can I get a referral from them? Can they be another wallet address? What is the best way to go about this? @tarmo888 So just create single wallets under mine for my other Steemit name and my husband?

You need to have 2 devices or 2 different users on same device in order to attest more than one Steem user, so they both would have a separate wallets. And then one can refer the other.

On Windows 10 you can have multiple users on same devices like this https://www.howtogeek.com/226540/how-to-create-a-new-local-user-account-in-windows-10/

What is cool about Byteball is that you could also make joint accounts, these are called multi-device wallets, where both of you have separate accounts, but you also have a joint account, which both of you can spend (or you could also make a wallet where it can be spent only if both sign).

thanks I will read this after more coffee...:) You are a great help
