Hello Steemit world! Excited to be here and would love some advice!

in #introduceyourself • 6 years ago

Hi guys, I have very recently joined Steemit and have just been feeling my way around the site before i decided to post anything.

I'm a normal hardworking family guy from the North East of England in a place called Newcastle (if any of you know it?) and i find myself coming online to find people that share passions and interests similar to mine.

Love most sport particularly football (soccer as you may call it! haha) , loving crypto and all things blockchain- its the future! Love new technology and innovation. Music is also a MASSIVE part of my life, I am also a huge fan of writing/typing, I find it very therapeutic and satisfying.

I dont want to bore you all too much on my first post, but i would love to hear from you guys and I hope to contribute to the community. I would love any help/tips or pointers to getting up and running on here and would be extremely grateful for any advice.

Have a great day!

      Hello cryptochum! Welcome to Steemit! Hope you'll like the community here. As a start, here are 5 tips that we believe will be helpful to you:

      1. Keep your passwords safe: Unlike conventional sites, Steemit has 4 types of passwords. Each offers varying degrees of access to your account, so know where and when to use each of them. Also, make sure to keep them all safe and secure.
      2. Get Steem rewards: When writing a post, you'll have the option to choose how to receive your reward: "Default 50%/50%" or "Power Up 100%". As of this moment, choosing Default 50%/50% is the better option. But this can change over time. Check our post to know more.
      3. Upvote wisely: When upvoting, wait at least 30 minutes after the post is published to maximize your curation reward. Also, make sure not to upvote too much too fast so as not to drain your voting power.
      4. Know your Steem, Steem Dollars and Steem Power: Steem and Steem Dollars are the 2 main currencies here. Convert and power up more Steem into Steem Power so you can have higher values on your upvotes.
      5. Have Fun and Enjoy!

            Welcome to Steemit cryptochum. Let me know if you got any questions about Steem or anything related to it! The official FAQ can be found here and has A LOT of information https://steemit.com/faq.html - Also remember, Steemit is just ONE of the sites built that uses Steem the blockchain. We also have DTube - our very own Youtube, DSound for Soundcloud and Steepshot if you prefer Instagram like experience. I'd also like to mention ChainBB - forums, Busy - Steemit with more modern look basically, DMania for memes and Dlive for streaming just like in Twitch! You can also earn Steem by gaming now! Search for Steemgar if that's more your thing. Welcome to the blockchain! :)
