Account Monitoring Tools

This is just a list of the various tools, dApps and websites that I use while here on the block-chain.
Feel free to either bookmark them for your own personal use, just insert your account name where you
see "@shaidon".

Rather than using Steemit as an interface, I use Steempeak. It's a lot prettier, and gives you all of these graphs and charts to use, so you can see at a glance how well you're doing on the platform.
It's a lot easier for writing blogs like this one too, as it does all of the markdown codes for you.

Steembottracker basically can show you how well upvote bots are performing, but this link will show you my wallet.
The difference is that it's showing to 6 decimal places, so that every few seconds or so, if you have even the slightest amount of Steem coming into your account you will see it ticking over. It's very motivating!

It also shows the current price of both Steem and SBD respectfully, marked either red or green depending on if they have increased or decreased. Not only that it shows your transactions so you can see where your money is coming and going.
It's all very transparent.

Shh. It's our little secret.

Steemworld.org is a great all-in-one page that allows you to see your voting power, how much it's worth, who is following you, who is not, your delegations, who mentioned you, it has a countdown to when you will next be paid AND you can even create new accounts. The list goes on... Truly impressive!

Steem Supply is another great way to see when you are getting paid for your content. It displays in both USD and Steem. There are many other stats as well. Just put your user name in.

Steemd is another way of looking at your transaction history, but it assigns different little pictures to your activities to make it fun too!

Steemdb once again is another way of looking at your account.

Steemitboard has all of your official stats and accomplishments.
Total posts, comments, upvotes, etc. are all here in an easy to see format.

My Delegation Tools

I've started investing my Steem Power via delegations to various tools that pay small amounts of Steem, which I channel
back into Steem Power.

Smart steem is currently paying out about $0.04 Steem and $0.01 SBD daily for 100 SP delegation.
You can set when to be paid out, and how much delegation you want to invest. There is no minimum here,
but obviously, the more SP delegated the better.

It turns out that I had been invested in Smartsteem since I started my account. If I knew then, what I know now I would have most definitely have been delegating a LOT more SP to them. Live and learn, hey?

This is a great place to delegate to various projects for a guaranteed return over a set time period. However, the reduction in your voting power as a result should be considered before delegating to anyone. Please make sure you are well above Minnow level before using.
