There's a lot of talk about delegation here on Steemit, but how do you do it? If you look it up, you get some pretty complicated answers, but, if there's an easy way, I'll find it! ( I think that may be my new tagline!)
So, in the course of things, I'm trying every tool I run across, I've got a list of about three or four things to test out today. But, one of those tests brought this to my attention.
Delegation is automated in Steemplus!
Why do I want to delegate my SP?
Well, that's a good question. There are several reasons to delegate.
- If you've started a second account, (here's how)
- To help support a Plankton with low SP, temporarily
- To join a project on Steemit
- In payment for a barter arrangement for something you need
- You can sell delegation as well
Whatever your reasons, delegation is now easier than evern with Steemplus!
Here's how it works. While using the steemplus browser add on, you simply go into your wallet.
Don't have Steemplus? I'll share the link to find out more at the end of this tutorial.
First, open your browser, it works in Chrome, Opera and Firefox, all three great web browsers. Navigate to steemit. You'll see the steemplus symbol in the top right corner. To log in, click it to go to Steemconnect and sign in.
Don't have steemconnect? Check the links at the end.
Navigate to your wallet
Find "DELEGATE" in the Steem Power section
That leads to the delegation screen
Add the user you'd like to delegate too
Side note, you can delegate steem to ANY user, with or without their consent. That would be a nice SURPRISE!
Set the amount of delegation
Submit your delegation request
Continue to confirm your log in
You should see a screen confirming success. If not, check the amounts and user name and try again.
