Have you ever wanted an easy way to increase the length of your lease?
Maybe renewing it by 1 week but getting the value of 4+ weeks? (150 SP per Steem instead of 75 SP per Steem)
Or maybe a way that you can delegate through MinnowBooster repeatedly without always having to wait 7 days for the cooldown?
Well, there is one now.
Introducing: Renew Lease on MinnowBooster
As you might have noticed - there is a new Button on the minnowbooster.com user page.
When you click it - you will be taken to a page which looks very similar to the standard lease page, but with a few customisations.
First of all - the only field you can edit is the amount of weeks. The rest of the values are locked in and can't be changed.
There will not be created a new delegation which would mean an additional waiting period of 7 days for the delegation giver.
Rather, the total amount of weeks is simply getting increased through the amount of steem you send.
Take a look at the gif I made.
By clicking on "Renew Release" you will get redirected to "steem-connect".
Simple, right?
Manual Transfer
Now. Some of you might not want to put their private keys into steem connect - while I do it myself - I can understand the scepticism. Luckily, there is also a manual way - similar to the way you start a lease.
Just fill out the "weeks" field and click on Renew Lease.
After that, you will see a page looking like this.
Now simply open up a new tab - and go to your wallet and open up a steem transfer.
Paste in everything that is shown in your previous "transfer" tab.
Make sure that you only have the word "renew" - a space - and the "Delegation ID" in your memo.
You can also find it in the url while filling out the renew-lease form.
And that's it. Easy, right?
But what if ...
.. someone renews their lease - but the delegate giver doesn't want that?
The answer is simple: the delegationer always has the ability to cancel the renewed lease. In that case - the user who leased it will get a refund of their steem in proportion of how much leasing time is left.
I'm really proud to say that this is the first feature which I implemented with help from into MinnowBooster.
But this is only the beginning. There is a lot of very cool stuff coming to MinnowBooster - even a Browser-Extension. But ... psst.. @Raycoms :P
