Thanks to @alexpmorris, Blurt is now available on WhaleVault keychain extension and Sharebits.io, it has been available for some time, just not officially announced until now.
WhaleVault
WhaleVault is a keychain browser extension that helps you manage your Social Media Blockchain keys for Blurt, Hive, Whaleshares, Steem and others all in one convenient app, secured under a single master password. Your keys are stored on your local machine and the websites you access merely invoke the WhaleVault keychain extension to broadcast the desired commands to the blockchain. Basically the flow looks like this:- Webapp >> WhaleVault Keychain >> Blockchain
WhaleVault is available in both the Chrome Store and on Firefox!
Sharebits
Sharebits is a fast, low-cost multi-token gifting platform that you can integrate into your app or community. This is a great tool for tipping, promotions and contests. Sharebits even allows you to create a lottery for your users. Create sharedrops and gift links with set expiry dates etc. Supercharge your Social Media promotion with Sharebits.io!
This post serves to record a 2000 BLURT donation to Alex by the @socialgraph foundation as thanks for his integration efforts. It is noted that Alex does not currently run a witness on Blurt nor has he posted about his contributions so there was no way to reward him other than via a direct donation, the donation is voluntary as he did not request it, however, we elected to donate it to him as thanks for his philanthropic support of Blurt and its community.

thank you kindly, and I appreciate the sentiment and the donation!
I hope you all find these apps highly useful for blurt chain as well. And keep in mind you can also gift tokens from most graphene-based chains to other users directly from discord as well via any discord server that supports WhaleBoT.
That includes blurt, hive, steem, whaleshares, eos, bitshares, and more, all from a single keychain extension and app!
WhaleVault is a nice program and I would use it exclusively but it does not work for some operations on some websites. For example, the Blurt wallet gives an error when trying to power up funds. I need to log in with my active key to do that operation. It also does not seem to work on PeakD with my system.
All in all I really appreciate the program, thank you for your work!
Powering up has always required active key though hasn't it?
WhaleVault worked fine for me for powering up Blurt this morning. I'm not sure what I did differently if anything. I had unlocked the WhaleVault before trying to do any type of operation though, (usually I just unlock it when it prompts me at the time of the transaction.) It does store the active key as well as the posting key.
WhaleVault required several updates to accommodate recent changes to the Blurt chain, so it's likely you were having problems with an older version before receiving an auto-update.
As for PeakD, it seems PeakD was using several higher level Keychain methods that most sites don't generally use, since those same operations can be performed with lower level functions.
The latest update of WhaleVault adds support for those additional methods required by PeakD (
requestVote,requestPost), so you should now be able to vote and post directly from PeakD via WhaleVault as well!Awesome! Thank you much, it is great to see the progress and bug fixes.
This is great news for Blurt, congratulations on all the great work the team is doing. We hope that Blurt will appear in more exchanges in the future.
We'll have to try the extension. Thank you.
