Thank you to all of the Steemstem team for your dedication. The posts I see in Distilled are often the best posts I read on this platform. It's amazing that this community is all a volunteer effort.
I'd like to join the Steemstem voting trail and contribute my small vote but I'm not sure how to securely use Steemauto. Is there a guide anywhere I can use?
Thanks a lot for joining our trail and your nice words. You can also contact us on discord to be added to our private voting bot. As you prefer ^^
Just make sure you use your posting key for Steemauto (they even warn you about this after you connect). Keep in mind you will need to initially provide the elevated password to steemconnect to allow it to add Steemauto access to your posting privileges. This guide from @teamaustralia is very helpful.
Thanks! I should be all set up now, hopefully it helps Steemstem a bit.
I will do the same. I think it is better for us "minnows" to setup voting this way rather than delegating SP as the curation rewards are lost. I think one of the goals was to build voting power in the STEM community and every bit of reward counts.
