[lilisbet18 231]

Of course, without a doubt, your password should not be disclosed to anyone, they can scam you and leave you without capital, it is good that these types of post are here so we can inform ourselves to avoid it happening to us in the future, thank you very much for warning.

We need to safe our private keys of the wallets of making secure to our account of the blockchain technology system and but private keys and password cannot be shared with anyone.

A private key is used to protect your wallet and a public key is used to receive coins to your wallet. So public key and address are not far apart and don't poses much threat to your account if known by others

[Jacks52 351]

It is not to reveal anyone to secure your account.You can also search on google for more information.It's a link for the storage of that wallet. Always secure your private keys for a better acheivement.

[zeshan1122 654]

I do not think that each coin has its own address of private keys because the private keys are the keys to the wallets not to the blockchain, and they are associated to the wallets only not to the coins.

[Chottisas 330]

Very good question, But I'm a new member here the only knowledge that I have on the difference is, Public key are reveal to everyone, Because it's our address key so there is nothing to worried about public key, But private key it's the key that is made for you only for your security purposes it's not reveal your private key to anybody.

What a beginner seems to understand with this post is that one should be careful in term of his details.your details are for you and you alone.one should be hold responsible for him self if this details are exposed to a third-party.

[Wanderdark 2178]

The public key is your adress and it is safe to share it with people you want them to send crypto to you.

 

Your private keys , on the other hand is the backup security passwords for your account and you should store them safely. You can write them in a paper. You shouldn't take photos or screenshots of them and never keep them in digital environment. If they are stolen or somehow you lose them, you lose the access to your account, as well.

There are public keys, private keys and addresses in the portfolios where demonstrating the public key represents a little danger to the wallet through the fraud stern thinking about the exchanges of this wallet and the sums that are accessible. Concerning sharing private keys, it makes the wallet be effortlessly infiltrated and taken. With respect to the addresses, they are utilized distinctly for sending and getting, not the earnestness of the keys.

[celeste10 251]

Exactly, we must always take this into consideration because we do not want to lose all our capital, so it is important to keep our keys and not share them with anyone, so it is with a cousin because one never knows what he can do with our money.

[Jannati99 8]

Knowing the public keys to the transaction of this wallet and knowing the amount that is available creates little risk for the wallet through fraud.  Portfolios have public key, private key and address etc.

[Oskar334 88]

Dear, not sure but I think the public key and the wallet address are not different.  I only know the difference between private key and wallet address or public key.  A private key will help you protect your wallet and a public key you will use to receive coins in your wallet, thanks my friend.

[Hammad iftikhar 226]

I'm not bit sure but i think public keys is not good because u will share punlic keys to public and get coins on your account. 

But private keys is a good thing to get coins or cash to your account safely

On wallets, I do noticed they have public keys, and warned by the wallet that if the public key is revealed to anyone that all your transactions will be revealed to the person. And what are the other dangers of given public keys to another person?

 

Addresses are for receiving cryptocurrencies like bitcoin, each cryptocurrencies  have their own corresponding public keys and the key likely also generate the addresses, is this correct? 

 

What I think is that the public keys are the information you can share with people while the private keys are the one that you have to keep to yourself alone. If scammers have access to your public key, nothing will happen to your account because the key regulate your relationship with outsiders while if your private keys get linked, all your money could be lost to scammers @Yomose

We have heard about kyc confirmations at some sites this is all about that.These sites keeps our private keys safe by their security system in order to conviniance their users.But public keys are just your personal informations localy nothing else no one can stole your assets if he has your public keys but private keys once stolen can be hacked

[Anwarbhai 425]

Fellow Your topic is very nice and useful. We must not share our personal information with any unknown person or on any online website. We must protect and secure our data and our assets. No one should give out their personal information.

[Bitcoin Earning 249]

We must not share our personal information with any unknown person or on any online website. We must protect and secure our data and our assets. The public key is the exchange of your location if any one have it they can see all your exchange that you do with your location. I only know the difference of private key and wallet address or public key. A private key will help you to protect your wallet and a public key you will use it to receive coins to your wallet.

[Reta 1285]

Showing public keys is a small risk to the wallet

This is because through it, fraudsters can learn the transactions of this wallet and the available amounts

As for sharing private keys, this makes the wallet easy to hack and steal

There are addresses that are only used for sending and receiving

[Mrbeen890 5]

We need to safe our private keys of eth wallets for making secure to our account of eth blockchain and for the address they are used for sending and receiving not the seriously of the keys.

[Jalal_raj 78]

The Bitcoin address is also known as a public key hash (PKH). The point of it is that it is a failsafe in case ECDSA is broken in P. Given an address and a method of deriving private keys from public keys, an address with no outgoing transactions provides no method of deriving a valid private key. Addresses are the same as an ECDSA public key encoded with SHA-256 and RIPEMD-160, and optionally encoded with SHA-256 a third time as a checksum appended to the address to prevent mistypes. The address is typically presented in base58check form, which is what you usually see. For example, this address: 1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa is a base58check address. It is also where the Genesis coinbase pointed to.

Friend there is a mistake in your post, the public key is the one we can share with everyone so they can make a deposit to our address, which you can not share is your private key, is the only one with which you can recover your assets in case of any incident with your wallet

[Asad1122 15]

The public address is a hashed version of the public key. Because the public key is made up of an extremely long string of numbers it is compressed and shortened to form the public address. In effect the private key generates the public key which in turn generates the public address.

[MalikHashi 726]

Yes exactly there is big difference between the private keys and public keys as well. So I think public keys name shows you can share with other people but private is for you only it is your security.

[Rafin478 614]

Basically the public key is not so important because we receive bitcoin or other currencies through the public key .The most important thing is t private key and password that we have.If someone get  private key and password, they can log in to the wallet, so we need to keep the public key in a safe place.
