How to delegate your SP to another account using SteemWorld
How to delegate your SP to another account using SteemWorld.
(SteemWorld was developed by our community witness @steemchiller. Please consider showing him your support by giving him one of your witness votes!)
SteemWorld offers many functions. One of these functions is the "Dashboard".
You can access it here:
https://steemworld.org/
You will need to log in. You will need to use your "Active key" if you intend to delegate to another user. (Your posting key will not work for this type of transaction.)
Click on "Dashboard".
Here you will find all sorts of information about your account, and your activity on Steem.
On the left-hand side you will see a tab entitled "Delegations". Click this tab.
On the next screen you will find a tab entitled "Delegate". Click this tab.
A new window will pop up.
In the "To Account" space put the name of the account you wish to delegate to.
In the "Amount (SP)" space put the amount of SP you wish to delegate.
Click "Ok".
A new window will pop up.
Be sure to check over the information.
Did you spell the account name properly?
Is the SP amount correct?
If so, click "Yes".
Another window will pop up asking you if you would like to sign the transaction using KeyChain.
If you use KeyChain, click "Yes".
A new window will pop up asking you to confirm the transaction.
Click "Confirm" if you wish to proceed.
You'll receive confirmation that your transaction was successful, like this:
And that's it!

Here are some things to note:
-Be careful who you delegate to. Some people/accounts will make you promises, but that does not necessarily mean that they will keep them.
-You do not "lose" your SP when you delegate it, but you do lose "the use of" your SP while it is delegated.
-Lower SP means that it will take longer for your resources to replenish (such your upvote and downvote percentages).
-Lower SP also means that when you vote, your vote will be worth less than it was before.
-Depending on how much you are delegating, this could be a significant reduction in the value of your vote.
-If you undelegate, the SP does not appear back in your account right away. It will take 5 days for the SP to reappear in your account. The reason for this is that we don't want people to be able to transfer SP back and forth to vote with and cheat the system.

Here are the instructions for how to Undelegate using SteemWorld:
Go back to your "Dashboard" like you did above.
Go back to "Delegations" like you did above.
This time you will choose "Outgoing". Click this tab.
Here you will see the people you have delegated to.
If you wish to take back your delegation, click the "X" on the right-hand side beside the account you wish to remove the delegation from.
A new window will pop up.
Check and make sure your info is correct.
If so, click "Yes".
A new window will pop up asking if you would like to sign this transaction using KeyChain.
A KeyChain window will pop up.
Click confirm.
A confirmation window will pop up letting you know the transaction was successful.

Alternatively, you can edit the amount of your delegation.
Go back to "Delegation" as you did above.
Go to "Outgoing" as you did above.
But, this time choose the "Edit" button instead of the "X".
A new window will pop up.
Type the new total amount you wish to delegate. (Note: This function will not "add" to your existing delegation, instead the amount you enter here will be the total amount of your delegation.)
Hit "Ok".
A new window will pop up.
Check and confirm your information. If it is correct, click "Yes."
A new window will pop asking if you want to use KeyChain for this transaction:
Click yes.
A Keychain window will pop up asking you to confirm.
Click confirm again.
A confirmation window will pop up.
And, that's it.

Thank you good!!!! guide!
Thank you.
Good guide. ;-D
Thanks. I remember how much I struggled to figure this out. Hopefully,
it helps someone out there.
I hope all is well in Mexico and you are staying safe.
Thanks, all is well here. Enjoying the splendid weather and the great outdoors. I hope all is well with your family as well.
I can't understand why delegations aren't integrated into the steemit interface.
Adding a quick and easy delegation option could make steemit even better than pa.treon!!
I have wondered the same thing. It would make sense to do that, I would think. Why hasn't it been done? Surely it's been thought of.
Tag @steemchiller, do you know anyone who might be able to make this happen?
Can we start a go-fund-me-kick-starter-steem campaign?
Tag @leprechaun might be working on something somewhat related to this (or be willing to share their opinion)?
It's a work in progress. https://test.steemfiles.com/@logiczombie.
@leprechaun have you shared your project and ideas with @justinsunsteemit?
I have tried communicating with Justin Sun using Steem but it seems he is not interested in using the Steem platform. It is like someone who hates chocolate buying a chocolate factory. Nor does he seem interested in sponsoring other projects that use the Steem-blockchain as he had cut off DAO funding before the fork.
Well, a lot has been happening. I think we are still trying to figure out where everyone falls. My intention was to draw his attention with my tag. :)
Was the Steemit DOA funding being used for Steemit, or was it being used for things outside of Steemit? If it was being used for things outside of Steemit, then I can understand why it was cut. I wouldn't want to pay someone to modify my car and they then use those funds to modify their car, which they then drive away with. I don't think Steemit got to keep many of the things it paid for. Am I wrong?
The DAO's funding doesn't require supporters to part with any funds. You can go to proposals and vote and votes are weighted according to your Steem Power. I voted on several and didn't cost me a milli-Steem.
There is a special "return proposal". If any proposal doesn't have as much Steem Power voting for it, then that proposal wont get funded. Justin Sun voted such that this was so high no proposals were being funded.
The Dao fund was never Justin's money. He just has influence on it because he has a lot of Steem power.
The way Steem is, and its forks are, it is just too easy to block someone's funds. I am not sure whether Monero solves this problem or not. Suppose I put my Monero address on my profile, and the mining pools of Monero decide they want to block me. Can they?

The way Steem is derived it is just too easy to block someone's funds. Show me a chain that isn't vulnerable to this problem and I can tell you what kind of metal it is made of.
I love it. Especially your "intro page" - https://test.steemfiles.com/

Spam protection, how? Plagiarism/copyright protection how? Or are we exploring anything goes? Anything goes opens the door to illegal content which opens the door to liability. Limited liability is not immune to liability. Directors are still vulnerable.
I understood the idea behind blacklists. I am not pro-censorship, but I also hate when a few ruin it for the many (like we saw with the endless hate spam recently, which was crashing some/a lot of people's feed).
Yeah, I usually read those hidden posts. I also disagree with being punished for up-voting someone with hidden content. My vote, my choice, no?
What you have described would be closer to decentralization. Some people had way too much power and their treatment of people was abhorrent.
Absolutely interesting read!
