Inconsistency in Larynx Token Claim Process - why do we need active password ?
While exploring my dashboard, I saw the Claim Larynx Token area and it reminded me to claim my Larynx Token for April. Clicking on the Claim button, it prompts to open HIVE keychain and I opened the HIVE keychain with my password and the transaction was broadcasted. However, the dashboard does not reflect any claim. I have saved only my posting password on HIVE keychain, and add my active password only when I require. Then I remove it, just for a safety precaution. I was not sure, if I needed to add my active key to claim my Larynx Token from
dashboard, but given that, it told me that it was success, so I assumed, it must have claimed the tokens. But to my surprise, nothing changes on the dashboard.
It was good to have the link to the detailed post on the dashboard, you may need to scroll down a bit and click on the link as highlighted above. It will open the link on a new tab. The first process tells to visit the website (https://spk.dlux.io/), click on the GIFT button, and wait for the transaction to process. I claimed my Larynx Token this way last month. The site expects you to have Hive Keychain installed. However, from my experience, last time when I claimed through the dlux site, it prompted me to add the active password to Hive Keychain, which I am not comfortable to store on Hive Keychain always.
Now there is a second way, to claim the Larynx Token using a direct link that validates using HiveSigner, but the good thing is that, it uses the posting key. If you are using HiveSigner to log in using the posting key, then its already saved being protected by a password. So its just a matter of providing that password and it successfully broadcasts the transaction.
You can also see the transaction on hiveblocks, this is mine - https://hiveblocks.com/@sanjeevm . Now going back to my threespeak dashboard, it still does not reflect anything. It still tells me that I claimed last in March, i.e. last month. However, if I go to https://spk.dlux.io/ to check my balance, I can see it has claimed the tokens.
It shows me that I have 16605.64 Larynx Tokens and I have not added my active key to the Hive Keychain, so its still able to fetch these details using my posting password.
So I request the team to make this process better and seamless and remove the inconsistency. In your blog you say "HiveSigner Link can be added by any frontend to help users to claim their LARYNX quickly." Then why not you add this ? If there is a reason for keeping the dlux link there, then please provide another option with HiveSigner Link as well. They are different, the HiveSigner Link needs only the posting password so it is much safer option. Also please improve the code behind to show the updated balance, showing the old balance is pretty odd and inconsistent. It should refresh, because if dlux can fetch the balance then why not you ? If we are building a product, then we should build a flawless product, these first steps will impress the future users.
