[zain5680 89]

according to me the defination of public key is;

Quote

A public key is a cryptographic code that allows a user to receive cryptocurrencies into his or her account. The public coupled with the private key are significant tools required to ensure the security of the crypto economy......................................................................................................................................

I really thought that public key is just another private key but public, so it's just another term of the wallet address. Thanks though for clearing that out. Well, the private key is what you have to protect and the one to open or get access to your wallet. Protect it, no matter what the cost, because it's a key to keep all of your assets safe.

Very good comments and information that helps us as a community, for my part I did not know anything about the public and private key, my doubts about this are now clear.

Please if you are new here never mistake this two thing which are the private key and the public key, your private key is you personal key for your bitcoin wallet never share it to any one to avoid loss of bitcoin you can only share you public key.

[Mr.Bit 212]

Thanks for sharing this brother but i think the difference to public key and private key is like the private key is more secured than the public key.

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.

Sorry dear mate i also a new member of this cryptotalk community i am very confused about the public key and private key.. i also want to know about this question i think experts of this forum gives us a good answer

It is very important to keep your private keys safe and not s=to share them with anyone as this is the easiest way for someone to hack your account and withdraw all of your bitcoin. You public key is your bitcoin address which you use to receive bitcoin payments. This is okay to distribute as there is no danger in people knowing your wallet address, however the private key is unique to each wallet and should never be shared.

[Brithney24 286]

Public key is shareable but private can not shamble, so if we share private key to any others people our all coin be loose. So we have to be careful about private coin, others this is if we lost out private than we can not withdraw our coin. So we have to store our private key safe zone.

Since I am a new user I do not have a good idea about this, if anyone knows, you must let me know.  It is important for every user to gain knowledge of the subject.

The different between the private key and public key means the private key is used on your security purpose about your I'd/password or other things.the public key is used in publicly in order to your payments method.

This is a good useful information shared to us. We should continually safe our private keys and not at all program to any one. If we performance that may be our full currency is not safe and can be stolen.
 

[Abiaan 1209]

private keys is very important , anyone can easily access to your money if you share it , i suggest to write in the paper securely in a traditional way , its not so safe on electronic components which have internet access

[George10 9932]

Thanks for this great infor it's so helpful to beginners and its true we should not share our private keys to anyone even our best friends because no one can be trusted with cryptocurrency.

[Valentine.H 41]

I know these terminologies but explained by you is still good to see. There are many users here don't know the main difference but with this post they have the basic concept about the while private and public key. Thanks..

[Efs 164]

The secret key is the set of codes required to access your money and reign on the wallet. Public key is your visible address to confirm in some cases.

[marchal87 2343]

Thanks for the clarification, but the wallet addresses are very important, whether public or private, because if one of them is lost, this leads to the loss of money.

[Jimmy26 987]

[Zaino34 0]

This is really useful information, of course, we must keep our private key and not give it to anyone only. We can give the general address of the currency exchange only, knowing that it changes with every transfer in bitcoin.

[Cammer 4609]

Good information thank you. I always keep my private key secured to prevent getting hacked or spammed!

[Beast921 952]

Public and the private keys are the main part of a account.Saving them in your notebooks or anyother safe place is essential.You can share your public key but not the private key.Because anyone can have access to your account if they get your private key.
