RE: Hello from a former beer swilling, chain smoking, cake eating, greed machine
What a super intro :)
I would like to find out more and have given your account a boost so you are actually able to reply to these messages.
Any questions, just ask. Welcome to Steem!
Thanks, I love the word super!
A pleasure.
OK so lesson 1, even though you didn't ask is that you need a little STEEM Power to fuel what you do here - like write a post, reply to a comment, upvote/downvote content, etc.
I noticed you've deposited some STEEM but this is in 'liquid' form at present and not 'powered up'.
This is a suggestion, because telling people what to do with they crypto is bad juju but the liquid STEEM is not fueling your account and is just safely held ready to be moved around.
To put the STEEM to use it would need to be 'powered up' to STEEM power, and this can be done by clicking the arrow next to your STEEM:
The Steem Power in brackets is the loan
to get you up and running with 'Resource Credits' which Steem Power gives you and fuels your actions.
If you can no longer do stuff (like comment/post), these have run out and will need a few days to recharge.
You can check Resource credits (and a bunch of other stuff) here: https://steemworld.org/@downthehabithole
Hopefully this will help and not scare another new user away!
I'm eagerly awaiting advice on managing my Steem addiction, whilst drinking a coffee and eating a couple of chocolate biscuits. Cheers :)
Ooh a fellow Brit - the word biscuit gave you away. Always happy to receive advice from a seasoned pro. I'll do as you suggest (who doesn't need all the help they can get).
You won't be waiting long for advice as in the next few days I'll start posting my super-duper mini-series on how to ditch any bad habit in record time. In the meantime enjoy that coffee and relish those biscuits. I'm jealous, all I have to alleviate my sweet tooth this afternoon is a banana dunked in peanut butter - it's not even the sweet stuff, it's the healthy, runny, no added sugar blah blah blah, stuff.
The arse gave it away, not yours, I've never looked down from space :P
Err, anyway, I hope you solve lesson 1 - I didn't want to mention Keys but that should maybe have been the first advice.
https://steemitwallet.com/ - go here with the key on you got on sign up and head to
Copy all these down and keep them safe - preferably written and on a USB stick. (If you lose the key 'blocktrades' gave you when you registered then you are mostly stuffed, and completely stuffed if someone else gets hold of it).
The Posting key is what you use most of the time, and from now on the Active Key for accessing the steemitwallet link above. You'll need the Active Key to power-up (lesson 1) the 'liquid' STEEM.
A ripe banana is all the sugar you need, i'll just continue with these hob-nobs :)
Well done, I see you completed lesson 1 :)
