Warning! Do NOT use Convert to Steem option for your SBD's!

With the current spike in SBD (currently at around 10USD for 1SBD on bittrex) we have seen a rise in complaints on our server from people using the CONVERT TO STEEM option in the wallet and getting a terrible return. We want our minnows to be well informed and make good decisions, and profit off this spike as much as possible so here are some tips!

DO NOT USE CONVERT TO STEEM, instead use the internal market and you will get a much better return so you can power up effectively.

The convert option will exchange at approximately 1:1 or even less and there is no easy way to calculate what you will get. On the internal market you can be certain of the amount of STEEM you will buy before accepting. Any time SBD is over 1$ you should sell on the internal. Any time it is under 1USD you should use convert.

Steps to exchange SBD to Steem

• While prices are this high the best thing to do is click the menu under your steem dollar balance and choose market.

• On the BUY STEEM side fill in your total amount of SBD you want to spend and it will autofill the amount of Steem you can buy.

• The STEEM price is autofilled but if the market is moving fast you may need to adjust this price to be a little higher than the lowest sell price (illustrated by the red box).

• Click buy steem and enter your private active key.

• Check your wallet to see that the transaction has gone through, sometimes this may take a moment.

Also when SBD is high make sure you are setting your post payouts to 50/50 before submitting them so you can earn some of that sweet SBD.

Now that you have those STEEM you can choose to hold or power up! We recommend powering up!
