Steem Power Down Slider Button; An Awesome New Feature

in #steem7 years ago (edited)

My love for steemit is growing by the day. The user interface (UI) is getting better and better. Hard working developers are building  applications and  including new user friendly features to the steemit interface, which we interact with daily. 

So, I just discovered a new user friendly feature, the power down slider button. This feature is really good. It saves you powering down 1/13th of all your steem power (SP), giving you the freedom to chose exactly how much steem you need to power down per week. Below is a screen shot of the new power down slider slider button feature. 


Please, watch the video on how to use the new feature

Count down to Steemit in Nigeria (SIN) conference. The upcoming  SIN conference is in 42 days time (2nd and 3rd of November,2017 at Ille-Ife, Osun State, Nigeria. Plan to be there. See latest update from the event planning committee by @ehiboss

this is wonderful..i will really love to be a part of this...i would like to be of help in my own little way..

Hello, @noraliza! I appreciate your good intention to help. Please, read how to from my response to @phait. Thanks for the resteem. Cheers.

Steemit is like a child that grows every day with more amazing things to offer.

Absolutely true, @bat-junior. Moreover, the fundementals of steemit blockchain are hidden in the whitepaper and bluepaper. Unfortunately, many are not reading. They are only concered about how make some quick bucks. Steemit is a long term project.

You are absolutely right @maryfavour, many don't know about that. Like a friend will say "Steemit is a lifetime investment".

I will say it's a great add up to this platform, I seen and used this feature. I most say it is awesome........

Great to know your opinion about the new feature, @steve1122! It's appreciated. Steem on!

Glad I could be of help ma, the new feature wont be of any thing to me. I am still a newbie and my vote is 0.01 😂😂 so why should I power down? I even need to power up before Saturday, too many things keep crossing my mind that I do forget it... Lol

Hahaha..., madam Glory, you are correct. Power down is not for you. I wouldn't advise any newbie to initiate power down. They should powering up instead. I can help remind you to power up before Saturday. Bravo, my sister!!!

Does powering up before Saturday have some significance with Steemit or SBD?

I think @sweetestglo-eu, stated that because the price of steem has dipped. The advise from experienced traders usually is , buy in the dips and sell when the value appreciates. hope to buy some too and power up. Thanks for your contribution, @thebrewster. Steem on!

Thank you @maryfavour! And you're welcome for little contributions which one day will be huge!

I want to be helped too ooo ma.

That would be good, if you can. Just join us next Wednesday. The time for the #AMAWED program might change, if I will not be available in the morning. However, the day remains Wednesday. Always visit @redfishpillar blog for more information . Join us too in discord , https://discord.gg/uRVtjaX. Cheers.

Wow.... Thanks for sharing this @maryfavour. I am new here as well but I believe in retaining knowledge, that in a way also helps to evolve with growing trend and developments on the platform. That's another step in the right direction in knowing steemit.

It's my pleasure, @phait. Glad to know that you are learning . Steem on!

I agree it is very awesome! Thank you for creating a wonderful guide. I also like seeing small but impactful changes like this.

Wow, @enjar, my friend, good to see you here. It's my pleasure sharing the information about the new feature.

I also like seeing small but impactful changes like this.

That's the word, IMPACTFUL. Trust me, these are the little things that will make some of us not have any reason to leave steemit. Tell me, how is your fitness journey going? I appreciate your invaluable comment as always. Thank you.

Thanks for asking I been struggling with the fitness journey. Been dealing with some sadness in life and a void in my heart. There were two weeks of time lost where I was not mostly focused on it. Going do a weigh in later today at some point. I don’t feel confident about it. Even this week I have not been on top of record keeping and can only hope I recall how this week was. Which was not that great either.

How is your fitness journey been going?

I been struggling with the fitness journey

You are welcome, @enjar! My fitness journey has been a struggle too.

Been dealing with some sadness in life and a void in my heart.
Ooooh, I'm sorry about this. Please, if it is something you want to share, feel free to let it out on steemit.chat. Hmm...a void in the heart is better experienced than explained. I think I can relate in some way.

Thank you for the kindness. I wrote about it a little while back to let it out and leave myself some happy memories on the block chain.

Information thanks

You are welcome, @ahlawat.

cool. that's great to know. also that's really useful.

Yes, it is useful, @readingdanvers. I think almost, if not everyone likes it. Thanks for your feedback. Keep steeming!

thanks for sharing this information @maryfavour ! this is very helpful. :)

Oh pretty, @lyng, you are welcome! Cheers.

This is nice to discover my friend, I have never seen that as i've not yet used the power down option. Well not now, but will surely do it some time!
Thanks so much for showing us around!

Hello, my friend, @progressivechef! Yes, the discovery was really a great one. I received my power down of 50 steem some hours ago, just enough to pay for continued lease of delegated steem power (DSP) in my account. Honestly, you don't need to use the power down button now. On the contrary, you need to power up as much as you can. Thanks for your visit and support. Cheers.

Thanks for the information ma.
Wao, SIN program is close to my home town (Modakeke), but i am far away (Akwa Ibom), if i am around, i surely attend. I really wish to meet these great minds. Even if i am not around, my brothers will be there. Thanks so much for bringing steemit to our doorstep. Eagerly waiting for SIN in ile-ife

This is a good initiative. Instead starting powering down and forgetting to stop it when the needed steem is already gotten, this helps those powering down to control how much they really need an they don't have to worry about stopping it. It is a welcome idea for me though i have no money to withdraw anytime soon 😀.

You always have ways getting information ma.

The power down feature is awesome. Only of you are a dolphin or a whale.

Minnows should not see it as an opportunity, it will only cripple their progress. Thanks ma'am for your efforts to the Nigerians community. We are not ungrateful.

Minnows should not see it as an opportunity, it will only cripple their progress.

I absolutely agree with you.

Thanks ma'am for your efforts to the Nigerians community. We are not ungrateful.

You are most welcome, @gunneresq! Steem on!

Some people will like this news o.

Hahaaaa...don't mind them. You are correct, @ehiboss. They will like the news, so that they can power down 1 or 2 steem/ week. Can you imagine that? I see things everyday here on the blockchain and ask myself if these people are really concerned about their growth. Thanks for the upgoat and for stopping by.

My pleasure

Outstanding post and narrative.
Thanks for sharing such great post with us.

Thanks for the commendation, @piyushkansal! Cheers.

thank informasi.
I really like your video. because it can make me more excited to multiply my steem power.

Hello, @safrijals! Glad that you found my video a good resource to encourge you multiply your steem power (SP). Wishing you success regarding that. Keep steeming 😄!

yes i will defend

looks very nifty, I wouldn't get to use it anytime soon but it's great to see such features are being developed. 😃👍

It sure does look nifty @kiaazad. Well, whenever you are ready to use it, remember that the feature is available. I appreciate your feedback. Cheers. 😃.

That slide is interesting and fancy. I really like upgrade on techs. Your AMAWED was wonderful.

It's my pleasure, @santiago43. Yes, there is nothing that motivates as much as small, impactful changes as you've stated. Thanks for your comment.

Best of luck for your
