How to Use Steemit On Smatphone(Android) Using eSteem Application(Tutorial)

in #utopian-io6 years ago (edited)

eSteem is an open source Smartphone app on the top of steem blockchain. In general, esteem is a social media platform for mobile devices which has all the feature, if not more, that are available on steemit.com.
You can post, make comment, vote, unvote, browse any content on steemit and many more features available like post schedule etc.

Today I want to show everyone( especially who hasn't used it yet) a tutorial how can we download, install and start using @eSteem mobile app developed by one of the steem witness @good-karma.

I have divided the procedure into 5 steps.

  1. Download eSteem from play store.
  2. Open On your Phone.
  3. Log In
  4. Make a Post

Step 1 : Download eSteem Application.


Search for esteem on google play store of your Android phone. You will see a result something like this in the picture below.

Tap on that esteem app from the result. Install the application on your phone.
(Assuming anyone can Install an app easily these days I'm skipping the installation process in this tutorial.)

Step 2: Open eSteem on your phone.


Please note that esteem needs a steem account to log in. If you don't have a steem account you can get one from here. And then follow this tutorial after you finally got your account. It will take some days to get approved for an account on steemit.

Open esteem app on your phone by tapping that esteem icon from anywhere on your phone.

(Esteem loading window)


Step 3: Log In to Your Account.


The home window will look like this after opening the application.
Now we must want to log in. To find the logIn bottom, tap on that Home Menu on top left corner.

(eSteem home after opening the app. here you can see a menu at top-left corner, I have marked here inside rectangular box.)

You will see a Login bottom like in the picture below.

Tapping on that Login bottom will give you the following page where you can enter your username and password.

Enter your Steemit username.

Now you will see fields for your steemit Username and key. Like in the following figure.

Just tap on that Advanced option, it will give you the option to enter your Posting and Active key. The main benefit of doing this is we can scan these code actually from our steemit account, and don't have to enter manually.

Enter your Steemit password.

You can enter your master key at this point(the login key provided when you signed up for an account.). But I found it is as tedious to enter such a long randomly generated password. So the better way is entering private posting/ and active keys for your account.

You can find your posting and active keys under your wallet->permission.

Find your Private Posting and Active Keys.

Log in to your steemit account. Go to your profile->wallet->persimmion.
You can see your posting key there as in the figure below.

Click on Show Private key bottom on the left side as shown in the figure below.


It will show you the private posting key for your steemit account.
Now Click On that QR code sign of private posting key and it will show your the QR code as below.

You can Find your Private active key as the same way. It's just below the posting key.

Scan that QR code with your phone(from where you left your mobile app before)

(It will ask to enter master key to show your private active key, just do that)

Now Scan those QR keys one by one respectively with your phone by tapping on that QR code symbol right to the password field.

Now Tap on that Login Bottom as shown in the figure above and it will get you to your esteem homepage.

Step 4: Make YOur First Post.


You have successfully logged in to your esteem account. Now notice that Home menu on top left corner(yes we have already used this before in this tutorial too.)

Tap on that Menu and it will again take you to the main menu with various options as shown in figure below.

Now tap on that small icon indicated in the figure above with Red Rectangle box. It will give you another sub-menu, with various action options as in the figure below(inside orange box.)

Tap on that Submit post bottom and it will take you to the post editor page where you can write and design your posts with images/pictures and other various text decoration options as in figure below.

tap on that advance option to turn on other features like payment option, upvote strength option, language, post scheduling etc.

Write up your first post and publish it via esteem smartphone app.

The next step would be to have a Steem phone OS that could replace Android, Apple, Microsoft, maybe even Ubuntu, and other phone operating systems in better ways. We need blockchain OS and more. The eSteem app seems pretty good, too. The dollar is dying. Buy Bitcoin.

That would be wonderful, But I think it's a long way to go. Have someone even thought about having OS on Blockchain? I don't know, I haven't heard someone talking about possibilities of blockchain to that extent. Please refer me any article you have found any.
thanks

Wow, Such a Long tutorial,

I actually downloaded the esteem app few days ago but i uninstalled it because i was a bit skeptical about its authenticity. Thanks for this info. Life is about to become easier for me :)

yeah it's bit laggy, but it's always better to have something than nothing :)
Thanks for your time!

This app looks awesome. You have an amazing amount of info here.. although i do not see much about the wallet.

Is it easy to send and receive money through the phone app.. that would be great :)

Yes, you can, and more features. I didn't mention all because it would be a very long article.
thanks for dropping by

Thank you so much..It was helpful

Awesome tutorial there mate. Thanks for this.
