INTRODUCTION

Hello fellow steemians I'm glad to be going on another Achievement post ,this time I'll be reviewing steemscan.com
Here's a little history about steemscan.com it is a steemit tool created by developers @roadofrich and @futureshock who saw the need for steemians to withdraw steem with the lowest fee and also the need for a user friendly tool that can be used even by a newbie in the steemit community.

In reviewing this tool I'll be answering some FAQ about the steemscan.com tool

Q1. What is the current Steem price and Volume on date f submission of this review?

According to the screenshot, the current Steem price is at $0.40 and has a volume of 398,160,263 steem/10,372,009SBD, from this stats it's seen that steem is experiencing a downtrend in its value.

Q2. What is shown under latest transaction and latest blocks section?

Latest Transaction

Latest transaction shows the recent transactions done in the Steemit blockchain between users,it shows the block ID, users ID, the senders account name, the Recipients account name.

Latest blocks

This shows the latest blocks created in the blockchain and their various Block ID and block transactions, this info is used to determine the growth of the blockchain.

Q3. What info is under witnesses section and what are the steps involved in voting a witness?

Info under witness section

The witness section is where any user can access and vote on a witness of his or her choice.

Steps involved in voting a witness

In voting a witness, each voter gets 30 votes at his or her disposal and can chose to vote on only one witness or distributes the votes evenly amongst his or her preferred witnesses.
Votes are casted by simply clicking on the witness you want to vote for.

Q4. What are DApps and mention 3 DApps you used or gotten to use so far?

DApps
DApps are decentralized apps created to facilitate cryptocurrency transaction in a variety of blockchains. When a transaction is done using this application, the user is said to pay a certain transaction fee depending on the amount of crypto transacted.

So far I know of the Tronlink app, Sun.io, steemscan.com, CoinGecko

Q5.Explain how to use "Quick convert" and what are the different charges for the different cryptocurrency withdrawal.

To get to the quick convert page, click on the Menu icon in the top right then chose Quick convert amongst the downpour of options listed above.

The Quick convert is actually the most useful part of the steemscan tool, as it can be used to quickly exchange steem into other crypto currencies and also transfer them to the desired wallet.
Just like all crypto transactions, there's a little fee that is paid as charges and this is how the value works for converting 20 steem into USDT, the user pays a fee of 1.08USDT, for BTC it will be 0.0005BTC and for TRX it will be 1.05TRX.
The charges all depends on the exchange rate of these currencies.

Q6. What info is provided by the Search option?

The search option give a detailed report on the latest blockchain transaction, the transaction ID.
It also gives the exact amount transferred and to whom it was transferred to.

Well guys that concludes my review of steemscan, I'll be looking forward for my next Achievement post while waiting for the admins to review this one.

Thanks
