What is Delegation

Delegating Steem Power (SP) means a user could lease SP to another user. This could be used in many different cases. Suppose one has a lot of Steem Power but have no time to search for a great articles, read and reward others. This Power will stay unused and nobody would benefit. In this case you can share your SP to those who are ready to spend time surfing and curating the Steem and anytime you can get your SP back if you want.

Here is a transcript of the video above.

Open your Wallet page and find Vesting menu in the right side.

Click on Delegate and you will see the Delegation screen.

Then enter the username tho whom you wish to delegate your Steem Power in the To field and choose any amount of SP to delegate using the slider. Click Send button.

In our sample we are delegating 2.003 SP from @inspirations to @esteemapp account.

You will be asked for the PIN code prompt and once you're done you will see Transaction is broadcasted message meaning that it is written to the blockchain and you are delegated your SP successfully.

Refresh your Wallet page to see the changes. You will see some number/link with minus -4.028 SP in our example in your wallet under Steem Power section. Clicking on that number will open Delegated Vesting Shares window where you can see to whom you've delegated your Power and to get your Power back when needed.

If you are taking back your SP it will come back only after 7 days. This made to prevent Steem Power usage abuse schemes like one is delegating the power, upvoting draining the battery to 0% and taking the delegation back.

Delegation made easy. Wow

This post is important for me

Thanks! Following.

Thank you, as earlier i heard this term but now only i understood what and how to delegate in steemit

Hi @rupjo82! I`m here to help :) If you want to delegate, please make a comment (for example replay to this one) like this:
I want to delegate X sp to @user
Where X is the amount of SP and @user is the steem user you want to delegate to. For example:
I want to delegate 100 sp to @esteemapp
@tipU will answer with a delegation link. Hope this helps!:)

This is a great innovation for a STEEM-based app like @exteemapp. Now, delegation will be made easy. Thank you on this.

Thank you for sharing, by reading your postings, I so know how to delegate the sp to another user. Once again thank you very much friend

Hi @hermanlc! I`m here to help :) If you want to delegate, please make a comment (for example replay to this one) like this:
I want to delegate X sp to @user
Where X is the amount of SP and @user is the steem user you want to delegate to. For example:
I want to delegate 100 sp to @esteemapp
@tipU will answer with a delegation link. Hope this helps!:)

With us delegating steem's power to friends for example. Is there any effect on the curation we get? I mean isn't that reducing our curation if it's possible we have free time to write a post? Please explain @esteemapp. I still do not understand this. Thank you

If you delegate some STEEM POWER to your friend you will not able to use it unless you take it back. Because you gave it to your friend as a lease. Your friend will get more out of his/her curation with newly delegated power but you will not get anything out of that. Moreover you will see minus of STEEM POWER in your wallet.

Mainly this could be useful if you have steem power but you are too busy and have no time to vote so you can delegate your power to your friend who have time and he will utilize your strengh for his profit. Once you come back from vacation or have time you can take back (undelegate) your delegation but you should wait for 7 days to have it back.

You can check Delegated Steem Power section in Steemit FAQ for more info.

Thank you for your information @esteemapp, as a new steemian of course I have a lot to learn. Your information is very useful to me. I will check my Steemit FAQ now to read about this.

I just downloaded the app today!

Thanks for your contribution :)

You made the delegation of the SP very easy. This will bring many benefits to everyone.
