RE: SteemConnect 3: A better way to sign

in #steemconnect6 years ago
  1. Since I don't understand the technology completely I'd love to know how similar this is to KeyChain to it can give me a bearing for what steemconnect3 will be like. I understand that you're going to do something that facilitates more than just chrome which is great.

  2. Also could an extension like keychain do a couple things to be the chrome app we use to interface with steemconnect3 i'm pretty used to it but if more apps integrate steemconnect3 I'd be using that anyway.

  3. Finally is there any possibility to withhold a permission from an app or even give that app the ability to give the user the choice? There's a lot of talk of extended access to Posting key. Per need basis no one has problems with but with steemmonsters cards being a posting key thing for transfers those users may not want to give steempeak for example extended access to use the posting key and they'd understand they'd give up some of those features that need extended posting key access but it could be their decision to not have those features in return for feeling more safe about their cards.

Anyway maybe i'm not thinking about it correctly, just trying to get a grasp.

Well i guess i'll bump the comment... since @steemscript or @fabien may not have seen it... we are honestly considering it at @steempeak and @peakmonsters so i do have some questions and just want to understand it better.

Hey @jarvie sorry just caught your message, here is some answers hope it helps:

  1. We are going to release signer apps for web, chrome extension, desktop app etc... these apps integrate a keychain and will work similarly than "Steem Keychain".
  2. Our signer apps and SteemConnect SDK will use the "Steem URI" standard to talk to each other, if another signer app / keychain app is using the same standard it would be compatible with our SDK, this would make possible for an user to login and sign tx with a non-SteemConnect signer app.
  3. It will not be necessary for the users to add an app account as posting authority.
