RE: STEEMIT Secrets: 5 Things I Wish I Knew as a Newbie
No link, but the rep level rises with upvotes you get.. upvotes with more weight more climbing. It is around here somewhere... Ill never find it again with this awful search bar though.
If somebody with a very high reputation upvotes, that gives the lower rep individual a huge boost. Those with lower reputations don't increase the reputation of somebody with a higher score. @spiritualmax is right, the higher you go, the more work it takes to reach the next level. it is logarithmic.
Thanks for confirming my suspicions @wwf
I think Steemit loses by not having these stuff explained in a streamlined tutorial of sorts.
Newbies often never get out of the onboarding part of the platform.
Hi guys, i am replying here because maybe i have a better chance of being heard and then getting an answer i can understand! I learned of steemd.com today and checked out vests but don't really understand them yet lol, i was just curious about vests. But, back to this post, how can i cgange SBD to steem power? I think that is what I want to do to make my vote worth more? Isn't it!!? Either that, or wait a few days to do any voting..... i think i totally vote myself into oblivian, haha :) ..... can you please help me understand bandwidth, don't have a clue why that's a thing. And, one last thing (for now!) Witnesses, i think it is important to vote for them but how do i understand who is who to vote for?! Awesome post @spiritualmax i always appreciate your offerings @wwf and many thanks @skycae i found this post on your blog as i was looking for your Ancient Mayan write up .... which I will get back to finding (i don't think the links worked in your follow-up post today) now! Talk about rabbit holes! Hahaha :) steem steem more steemit ❤
Hello there... you don't have to worry about Vests. Steem Power is what you're looking at for voting power. Vests are a measure for those who worry about their stratification on the fish scale.
On the other hand, you can buy steem with sbd by clicking buy on steem then it opens blocktrades. In blocktrades you put steem backed dollars and the amount you wish to convert, like 1, then you select steem power on the other end and click get deposit address.
Once you do that you get a name and a memo. Go back to your wallet and click trasnfer on the sbds and then select that amount, like 1, and put the name blocktrades on the account and paste the memo from the page.
And it's done
Witnesses are like the miners of steemit, you can vote on witnesses you think will do a good job verifying transactions and etc.
Cheeers.
ok buddy @spiritualmax, just about to give this a go! My first crypto transfer transaction....about to go down here. Wish me luck <3 Really appreciate your guidance on this. Yay Steem Power!!! <3 <3 <3
The information is out there, people just have to look. Others before you wrote similar articles to help people. I wrote one myself as well. I shared a few other tools that helped me.
Here is my post from a few weeks ago. I hope it helps.
