If we talk about wallets then we will also talk about the wallet keys. There are two kinds of wallet keys; the private key and the public key.

 

The public key is also known as your wallet address. This is the alpha numeric number which you give to someone in order to receive a certain coin or token. The word public means that you can share it so you can make transactions.

 

Next is the private keys. Private keys are like the keys you use to open your door. For example you are going to unlock your door and you need a key to open it. It is the same with your private keys, this is the key that you will use to unlock or access your wallet. The word private here means that this key needs to be kept by you and never be shared otherwise other people can access your wallet.

 

So always keep in mind the difference so that your wallet will be safe and your coin or token will not be taken away from you. Share only your public key (wallet address) and not your private key.

These two keys are different. It's has different purposes. Public key is use for transaction. We can recieve payment through our public key. And private key is our wallet access key. We have to always secure it. Otherwise we cann't log into our wallet.

Wow this is really informative actually I didn't know that there exist two keys public and private key not until now thanks to you mate I can now tell the difference between public and private keys 

[ValentineJon 12]

My understanding about both the public key and the private key is limited because i usually use coin base wallet and they only provide the public key. public key is used to get payments from anyone. and the private key is used to secure and modify your wallet settings .. 

[magd 5231]

The private key is the most important isn't it? I mean that the private key should not be shared with others because it is responsible for accessing the wallet and the balance in it which may cause the wallet to be stolen. As for the public key, it is temporary and can be modified. Please explain more about this and correct my information.

It's a good post I have seen many users being confused among the private and public keys of the wallets while seeing this post all the new members and the beginers will be able to remove their confusions through it.

[Cladioverse 8]

The public key can be shared on any platform .But the Public key is most important for wallet opening.We can not share this with people.We can see other people balance in MEW(My ether wallet).Other people can also see our balance from our public key.

[Neymer jr 19]

Private key is the key which you do not sell anybody public key is that with you share with everyone but I would ask you to do not share anybody your private key because now they are increasing which day will misuse of your private key.

From the word itself public keys are widely distributed, while private keys are kept secret. public key use to encrypt a message and private key is use to decrypt,so the person with the private key can decrypt and read it the encrypted messages on a public key.

[Syedaltafshah 19]

Public Key: In Public key, two keys are used one key is used for encryption and another key is used for decryption. One key (public key) is used for encrypt the plain text to convert it into cipher text and another key (private key) is used by receiver to decrypt the cipher text to read the message.

I additionally don't have a clue what is private and open key. 

I think it is something used to exchange among bitcoin and numerous different monetary standards which are less expensive in our platform....

The personal terms at this point poor that this major must be held in reserve by you and should never be shared, if not other associates may hold log on to your wallet. The classified keys are the keys old to commence the entrance to your key, for paradigm you are up for grabs to unlock your door.

An open source key is not always safe. Using the private key is much more efficient, and that’s the difference. Thank you for setting out in this thread and clarified in detail.

In any crypto wallet we get two keys. One of key name is public key and another one is private key. Private key is use for access wallet and public key use for transactions.

Is the first tome i heard about private key and public key, but i understand the definition between theme. I like your topic my friend you give us a good information to developing our self , we are beginner and we need like this topic.

[Virgil dijk 1431]

Yes this information is vital to many who doesn't know , public keys is our wallet address which we give out to people in other to receive cryptocurrencies.

While private keys is the code we use in accessing our wallet which should be kept safe and not disclose to anyone.

[bentayebsalah 2280]

The public key can be shared with others for the sake of currency exchange, but the private key is yours and should not be shared with others because you will lose your wallet in that.
