CAN'T SEEM TO POWER UP - HAVE I BEEN HACKED OR IS THIS NORMAL?
I have a concern, but I'd like to start by saying I am loving the Steemit Community!
I am here to stay! I can’t wait to see where we go from here!
For a person who is in this for the long haul, what is the best way to maximize my potential? In my opinion, it is to continually work on increasing my Steem Power.
The Problem
After earning $10 Steem Dollars over my first weekend I wanted to power up in order to gain influence and voting power. I consider this an excellent way to invest in Steemit.
I went to my Steemit wallet, clicked the arrow next to my STEEM DOLLAR balance and selected Convert to STEEM.
The following message popped up: "This action will take place one week from now and can not be cancelled. These Steem Dollars will immediately become unavailable."
I didn’t worry too much as I have grown accustomed to these long processing times in the crypto world. I went ahead and clicked on the Convert button.
As soon as the screen refreshed, my Steem Dollars were nowhere to be found, which I thought was kind of strange. There was/is no STEEM in my account. I looked around for a way to verify that the transaction was processing or pending and couldn't find anything.
Part of the problem is I can't remember exactly what day I initiated the transaction! LOL! So, I am sitting here wondering to myself what is going on? I'm glad there are only $10 Steem Dollars in question. I would really be concerned if this had happened with a larger sum.
I thought maybe I could find an article or tool out there somewhere to help me verify if this is normal. I have searched all over Steemit and even googled my question and haven't found the answer.
Is this Normal or have I been hacked?
I have more Steem Dollars that I want to power up but I am not willing to try it again until my concerns are resolved.
Please help me get powered up!
you cant power up your steem dollar ? you need to convert that to steem first then from there you will be able to power up. if using a smart phone for some reason it does not work.
That is what I am attempting to do. My Steem Dollars disappeared in the process. Is that normal?
Oh, this is a simple problem. Go to https://steemd.com/@bbrewer
It tracks all the data and actions from your account, including the day in which you initiated a Steem-dollar to STEEM conversion. This should give you an idea on when you'll receive your STEEM.
Found it:
It says six days ago. You should receive your STEEMs tomorrow.
I wish my vote were worth more today so I could repay you! Thank you so much. Using the link in your first reply I just found it as well and was coming back to post it. Haha, you beat me to it!
I just had one more day to go! I guess this is why they say "patience is a virtue." :)
You're welcome, bbrewer! I'm surprised someone actually found one of my comments helpful. I'm usually the one that asks a lot of questions, hahaha.
You are powering up my friend!
@nineyards thank you as well. I was just in the same dilemma and was able to see it in my steemd page. Thanks again!!! Wish my upvote would have earned you comment something! I'll come find you when my convert is done and SP is up!
