RE: 2 New Things I have Learned About STEEM!!! Be Careful when you power up and power down...

in #steem7 years ago (edited)

I looked at your wallet... You did it perfectly. But you are having the same issue as spoken about in this post. You had 15 SP delegated to you as a new user from Steem itself.. You powered up about 2 steem, and the system powered you up, but took away the same amount of delegation as you powered up...

Essentially the lesson learned here is, If you are going to power up as a new user that has some delegated steem power. You must powerup more than 15 steem to get any benefit from your power up! Consider it a buy in... vs their gratuity of delegated steem for new users...

Sort:  

Yes, You bought 2 point some Steem power. I see it. But you had 15 steem power delegated to you from Steem itself. It took that same amount of Teem Power you bought and subtracted it from your delegated amount. So you still have exactly what you had.... Except with one difference. you OWN that 2 steem and can power it down and sell it, versus the delegated new user steem is and WAS NOT YOURS... It is just to help you... So.. It sucks, just got to pass that 15 SP hump basically... The same thing is what happened to Nanocheeze that is being discussed in this post.

Thanks very much for helping like that. So I do have steem but it is in the steem power section? The upper portion displayed is mine, the lower on loan?
