Well - I could have waited a bit and put yesterday's post and today's announcement in one long-form post, but I honestly didn't think the PALcoin Claim Drop would be ready to use in only 24 hours. But here it is: every Steemian that has been somewhat active the past few months has been put on some sort of 'whitelist' for the PALcoin Claim Drop, which means you now have one month to claim yours. After the claim you can either sell your PAL or stake them and turn them into Pal Power.
Huh?
Here you go:
- Go to steem-engine.com
- Log in with Keychain (preferred) or any other method you use to log in on Steem based websites
- Go to your wallet
- Find the PALcoin icon/button in the top left corner
- Click it
- Find your PAL in both your steem-engine.com wallet and in your palnet.io wallet
EDIT: a screenshot for those that are looking for the button:
That's it!
You can now choose to stake these PALcoins on palnet.io (go to your wallet), which will turn them into Pal Power, which is basically the same as Powering up which turns your STEEM into Steem Power. This means you can use the Pal Power to upvote posts on palnet.io and adding some value to posts. Remember: there's 50% curation rewards on palnet.io so it's worth it to curate over there! Also: don't forget that if you give a 50% upvote on palnet.io it will also trigger a 50% upvote on Steem ;-)
