you are way cooler than those guys that didn't already have a bitshares account
I just wanted to get that out of the way.
This is part of a series. To avoid confusion and mistakes please start at the beginning
We are going to need two peices of information from your bitshares account.
- a registered bitshares-account-name
- the private-key for that account (don't worry I don't want it, but you will need it to log into your account on steemit.com)
If you already know how to get that info feel free to skip the below and go straight to funding
If you have more than one account your wallet will look something like this
If so then select an account on the left. If you only have one account your screen should already look like this.
Click the Permissions tab on the left. It should then look like this
Make sure that the Active Permissions tab on the top is selected.
The big long string that looks kinda like BTS7Bom7KoLfB2Vcuz92Hqpzh8vAUrRS2C8PsJZ3Zpr9LmabgHn6t is your bitshares public key. Pretty sexy huh? Just to the left of that is a small key symbol. Click that key and you will get a screen like thus.
You see that part that says?
PRIVATE KEY (WIF - WALLET IMPORT FORMAT)

Click the (show)
You will probably have to enter your wallet password. You will get a long string that starts with a 5 this is the private key that corresponds to your bitshares public key. Do not share it with anyone. Ever. You will need this key later to log into steemit.com At this point you can write it down, copy paste it, or just come back and get it later when you actually need it.
Alright you now have your bitshares-account-name and your private-key lets move on
