If you are semi-experienced hive user or even a very experienced one, this quick tutorial video will demonstrate how easy it is to send encrypted messages on the blockchain. The memo field is an incredibly useful tool and I would suggest becoming familiar with this feature on not just hive, but other blockchains as Layer 2 Blockchain is phased in and we proceed onto the development of Layer 3 blockchain technologies.
Encrypting the Memo Field from the Memo Field
- Sign into Hive with your private memo key
- Designate a recipient's username
- Choose Hive or HBD amount (either works)
- **Begin the memo with "#" followed by your message to the recipient
- Sign the transaction with your private active key
In order to view the encrypted memo field, the recipient will need to sign into hive with their private memo key.
