One of the very first Steemians to reach out and welcome me was @oadissin. He spoke of a mobile app, called Partiko. But, I didn’t know @oadissin, and I had never heard of Partiko.
After all the warnings I had read about not sharing your keys, and all the onboarding information about security, I felt like caution was prudent at this juncture!
Do you remember Dana Carvey doing his George W. H. Bush impersonation?
So, I put the Partiko suggestion in the back of my mind while my tiny self explored Steemit, a brand new, wide-eyed Plankton, floating in the massive Steem ocean.
As I mentioned in one of my previous posts, I have already followed @benedict08 over to the Plankton community, and it was the best thing that could have happened to me!
I am pretty observant and noticed several Steemians were using Partiko, and @benedict08 was one of them! From what I saw he used Partiko consistently. I trusted @benedict08 because he had not led me astray. If he was a regular Partiko user, I thought it had to be safe!
I took the plunge! And I’m so glad I did!
Not only is Partiko convenient, allowing me to vote and comment, using my phone while I’m on the go; I have been earning Partiko points for doing something I already want to do anyway!
• 5 points for every vote
• 10 points for each comment
I’m pretty old school, preferring to use my keyboard to compose my posts, but Partiko rewards 30 points for original posts. By the time you read this, I will have made my first Partiko post and earned those points too!
At the same time, I am cashing in my accumulated points in exchange for Steem. @crypto.talk has set it up so that you can redeem your points to get an upvote from Partiko. The more points you have the higher weight your Partiko upvote will be!
So that makes me a happy little Plankton, swimming around with my new Steemian friends and nibbling on Partiko!
In my next Small Time Operator post I will share some more great Steemian communities I have learned about. There are so many!
