After reading and learning the basic post given by @cryptocannon and making sure I understand how to go about using the tool I’m now ready to give Task 2 under Achievement 5 a go.

Here we go!

To enable you to convert Steem into a crypto currency you need an application or tool. The tool we will be using today is “Steem scan”.

1. The current Steem price and volumes on date of submission of this review

When you open the tool the main menu opens showing two graphs. What is nice is that at a glance you can immediately see the Steem price on the left and the Steem volume on the right.

2. Information shown under “latest transactions” and “latest blocks section”

Under the two graphs mentioned in above you will find two tabs;
• Latest transactions
• Latest blocks

LATEST TRANSACTION – Here you will find the following information;
Block ID, ID, Timestamp, Sender, Receiver, Type (transaction) and Amount/%/Payload

LATEST BLOCKS - Here you will find the following information;
ID, Height, Time stamp, Block Transactions and Mined by

3. Information under the “Witnesses section” and steps to vote a Witness?

When you click on the main “Menu” tab next to the Steemit icon it will show the following tabs;

When you click on “Witnesses” you will find more information on the various witnesses.

From this menu you can see;

• Total Witness – 14969
• Total mined (STEEM) - 401,880,130
• Last block height – 62,582,715
• Transaction count – 15
• Current Witness - symbionts

Voting: If you want to vote on a witness like “aheadofslow” you need to login with your Steemit login credentials and click on the “Vote” icon on the right hand side of the screen.

4. DApps and 3 DApps which you have already used or may use in future as per your interest

DApps stands for “Decentralized Applications” which is a collection of various DApps sites for the Steem Blockchain.

• Steemworld.org – already used
• Steem scan – already used
• SteemHunt – still to be used

5. How to use "Quick Convert" and what is the fee charged for different Steem amount for withdrawal

• After you have navigate through the menu to “Quick Convert” you need to type in the amount of Steem you want to convert.
• Next you will have to choose between the three different currencies. Under each currency you will see the approximately conversion amount as well as the fees associated to the transaction.
• Fill in your wallet address of the chosen currency you have chosen.
• Once you are happy with the transaction click on “create order”
• You will now be asked to confirm the transaction by entering you active key in the Steem log in prompt
• When converting small amounts of Steem it is advisable to convert it to TRX because of the relative high fees charged on the other two currencies

6. Information by using the "Search" feature

The “Search Feature” in Steemscan.com is a way in which you can search for a type/category in a quick and efficient manner.

There are 3 basic search types
• Find a block
• Transaction
• Account or witness

Until the next task!
