Hello Steemians, greetings from India...
This post is my submission of Achievement 5 Task 2 as a part of the Lists of Achievement Tasks,Resources & Materials : Newcomers Resources under the guidance of @cryptokannon.
This task equips us with a new Steem tool called Steemscan.com First let us know about this tool.
About Steemscan.com
Steemscan(dot)com is a tool built on the steem blockchain which can be used to convert Steem into other crypto currencies. This tool has been developed by @futureshock and @roadofrich. As of now, STEEM can be converted into TRX, USDT and BTC only.
Task Questions:
Q: Please explain the current Steem price and volumes on date of submission of this review?
The current Steem price at the time of submission of this post is $ 1.18 while the volume in the last 24h upto the time of submission is $ 25,839,930.00
Q: Please explain What all information is shown under latest transactions and latest blocks section?
Under the Latest Transactions tab, we get to see the ongoing activities in terms of transactions. The chart shows Block ID, Transaction ID, Timestamp, Sender, Receiver, Type and Amount.
In the Latest Blocks tab, we see a list of blocks classified by Block ID, Height, Timestamp and Block Transaction.
Q: Please explain what all information is shown under Witnesses section and steps to vote a Witness?
Under Witness section, we can find Last Block Height, Transaction Count and Current Witness.
Then there is a list showing Active Witnesses. Voting for Witness is pretty simple. Against the names of witnesses, there is a Vote button. We can click that button to cast vote for witness as per our choice.
Q: Please explain What is DApps and mention 3 DApps which you have already used or may use in future as per your interest?
DApp stands for Decentralised Application.
"A DApp is an interface for smart contracts and blockchain."
"Think of a blockchain as the internet, smart contracts as the World Wide Web, and decentralised applications as YouTube or Facebook."
"A dApp is essentially a decentralised application or program that is completely open source. This means that where a traditional App runs on a single network of computers, dApps are run on top of a decentralised, peer-to-peer network, of which no single entity has complete control."
Right now I am using only Steemit among the DApps. But I am eager to use DTube, SteemHunt and TravelFeed in the near future.
Q: Please explain How to use "Quick Convert" and what is the fee charged for different Steem amount for withdrawal?
When we need to convert STEEM to other crypto currencies, we can use the Quick Convert option.
Menu ---> Homepage ---> Quick Convert
Then the required page is launched. We just need to enter the amount of STEEM which we would like to exchange for other currencies like USDT, TRX and BTC.
Next, we require to enter a withdrawal address. Going forward it asks to enter the user's Active Key and then Confirm Order. The order is processed with a fee deduction of 1.21561896 USDT as of today (may vary with time).
Q: Please explain what information is provided by the "Search" feature?
The Search bar offers us to -- Find a Block, Transaction, Accounts or Witnesses.
