Does anyone find Hive confusing?

avatar

Okay, here goes nothing.

I've been a member of LeoFinance, and thus a community member of the Hive blockchain since February 2021. I've posted a few blogs and interacted with a few people on this blockchain, but I must admit, I find the entire system a bit confusing.

I'm back, here on Ecency, which I'm pretty sure is another client side of the Hive blockchain, and I'm here because I'm trying my very best to figure out how to post on Splintertalk through my Splinterlands user id.

Here's the thing. My user id on Splinterlands is Flarnrules1, and my username on Ecency and LeoFinance is Flarnrules (without the 1). I must assume that I set up my Splinterlands account not knowing that it was on the Hive blockchain.

Here's the other thing, whenever I attempt to access my private keys via Hivesigner, I am not able to access those keys, because I guess I don't know my master password to unlock the account.

Yet, I'm able to login to Ecency and LeoFinance.

I really need some help. Every time I attempt to interact with Hive I just begin to feel overwhelmed, and eventually I give up.

This time, I really really want to interact with the Splintertalk community, but I literally just.... can't figure out how to access my account.

I am probably just shouting into the void, but at this point... that's all I've got.

I don't know exactly how those accounts are created or how you would end up with 2 different user names.

  1. You are correct Ecency is a Hive front end.

  2. Did you save your master password when you initially signed up?

I would recommend jumping into the splinterlands discord for more information. https://discord.gg/

If I knew more about the way Solinterlands creates keys, I'd have more information, but I'm afraid to give you inaccurate information.

The wallet keys are confusing at first, but for people to trust their valuable crypto wallets are safe it does create some challenges.

To start, get keychain for log in. It is much more stable than Hivesigner. It is an extension for your browser like Chrome.

As for the rest, take your time. It is a slow process. There is a lot of things to it. This is not an easy platform but you will be thankful you stuck with it.

There is a lot of things unfolding so stick with it.

Head over to @leomarkettalk each day to ask some questions and get feed back.
