Steem Reputation.

Image
Today we will talk about reputation. This information from  my old post . I wrote this before creating the GSG Trail. Now our group collects and organizes useful lessons in www.gsg-trail.blogspot.com. So what's the reputation .... This indicator is far more important than the number of followers. This figure can not be purchased. It's like the honor of an account. And the more reputation is, the cooler your account. This is really a very important aspect. This figure is difficult to earn, and it's easy to lose. Well, in order to lose you need to be a full asshole (spammers, beggars, phishing and similar sins). Reputation can be destroyed using flags. Reputation is very difficult to increase. Each next level is 10 times more complicated than the previous one. It can be increased only by positive activity in the system. Good content, lots of upvotes, lots of good comments - all of this has a positive impact. On the sites  STEEMIT  or  BUSY  you can see a rounded repu

Pending Payout service.

Today is a very simple lesson. To plan my activity on Steem, I recommend  this site. It is very simple and convenient. I will explain in my example. I am writing 2 posts per day. That is 14 posts per week. That is, I have 14 posts in "pending payouts". I use  SmartSteem  to promote. So I need to know when I will have the next reward. It is for this purpose that I use  this service. It's simple and convenient. I believe that blogging should be systemic. This way makes life effective and enjoyable. Good for you on Steem.

Steem is NOT Steemit. Concept of blockchain observers.

Image
We continue our lessons about Blockchain. As always, everything will be simple and understandable. This lesson is the repetition of my  old post  about the concept of Blockchain and about an observers. Many people do not understand what Steem, Steemit, Busy and other similar services are. Read on. Everything will become clear. There is a blockchain, called Steem. Well, just like STEEM is a token. So, Steem looks like God. It exists everywhere and nowhere specifically. It does not have a central server. It can not be broken or damaged. This lives on many devices. The absence of a central server is a guarantee of stability and continuity. It can not technically be stopped or forbidden by its enemies. This is STEEM!!!! 😎😎😎😎 Now let's look at: Steemit, Busy, eSteem and other similar services. For this, imagine that Steem is a huge field. And you are in the house on this field. The house has many windows of different shapes. Some windows may not be open, others have a grid

Creat New Account. AnonSteem Style.

Image
This method was unexpected for me. Yesterday morning I did not know about it. Prior to that, I only knew about the classic account creation method. The classic method is through a mobile number and email. This method is free and takes a lot of time. There is an alternative way. In fact, there are several alternative ways. In this post, I will describe only one. This method was checked yesterday. Our alternative way costs 5 SBD. 3 SBD of these 5 will be deposited to the Steem Power of the new account. That is, the fee will be only 2 SBD. Required time is several minutes. Then the scheme in the screenshots. Logout from your actual account. Put "Sign up" 3. 4.  Chose "AnonSteem" 5. Input account name and put bottom "Buy Now". You will be redirect to Steemconnect. Pay 5 SBD. You account will be ready. Don't forget change your password. This method can help you to create additional account for your friends.... or for y

Tags. Small words have big power.

Image
Let's start with simple. Each post can have up to 5 tags. That is, the author can post in 5  sections  of the STEEM. Also, remember, creating a new tag creates a new " section " in STEEM. Be careful, write the tags correctly. Tag  #photography  and tag  #phatagraphy  are  completely  different tags. If you are not a careful person, then the best option for you is to copy the tags. One mistake - and your post will have less noticeable. Discover the popularity of the tags. Tag  #photography  and tag  #photo  are very similar, but they may have quite different levels of popularity. Accordingly, they will give a different level of rewards. Explore and analyze.  Link to all Steem tags. Each post has only 5 tags. Pick them up wisely. If your name is John, then it would not be wise to use  #john  tags. The author has to pick the tags correctly. Here are the basic rules: the tag meets the post content as much as possible writing the tag is correct the tag is quite

How are Plankton, Dolphins and other fishes in Steem?

Image
I think it will be interesting for new people on Steem. Each account has its own status. This name is based on STEEM Power. It can change. For example, whale can become a plankton if it makes a POWER DOWN. These titles only depend on the amount of STEEM Power. You can have 1 billion Steem, but you can still be Plankton. Plankton 0 - 500 SP Minnown 500 - 5000 SP Dolphin 5000 - 50000 SP Orca 50000 - 100000 SP Whale from 100,000 SP.

Snapseed. Simple and FREE photo-editor.

Image
You are not a brilliant photographer. But your pictures can be much better after photo-editing. I'm using Snapseed for processing. It is free, simple and effective. There are versions for different operating systems. For Android. For iOS. Here is an example. The first photo is before processing. The second photo is after processing.

Imgur - photo storage service.

Image
I use this service when there are problems with native services eSteem, Busy and Steemit. Well, this is not happening often. But in the past, such problems apeared frequently. This service gives your images a permanent URL. Here is a link to the  Imgur website . There are also apps for  Android and  iOS . I will show the example of the Android version. First step. Second step. Third step. This way you may storage you photos. But it is for time where our main services don't work.

Steem Keys. Some words about security

Image
Steem is a new system. There has never been such type of system before. Therefore, the logic of the security system is new here. This is a necessity. As always, our GSG Lessons are as simple as possible and efficient. Each Steem-account has 4 passwords (key). You can see them through www.steemit.com See the picture. It is not difficult. And this is a good security system. Master/owner key is the key to the your account. You can enter it only at www.steemit.com. Maybe something in the future will change in relation to the places where you can use Master key. With this key you can change all other keys. Here is an example. On good site you have been asked to enter your Posting key. The site was hacked by hackers. And posting keys became available to criminals. It's not scary. Using the Master key you can change the other yoyr keys. And criminals can only put a couple of upvotes. You can read the information about each key at www.steemit.com. But I tell it by my own word

Blocktrades.us Good exchange service.

Image
Today you will find out about a service where you can change STEEM and SBD to other cryptocurrencies. Not only Steem and SBD, but many combinations available. I convey my experience in these lessons. All services that will be presented in the GSG Lessons series are verified. Today we learn how to use the  Blocktrades service . It is not a stock exchange. This is an exchange service. That is, it will be good for ordinary users. Blocktrades are not suitable for traders. This is the website for exchange. This service is closely connected with Steem. It was created by members of the developer team.  @blocktrades  is one of the witnesses and a respectable person in our system. Go to this site  www.blocktrades.us . You have the opportunity to sign up, but it is not required. For example, let's do SBD exchange on Dash. Confirm transaction or do it in Steemit wallet. That's all. Your Dash purse will be refilled in a few seconds. I hope this lesson is useful to you. Writ

STEEMNOW. Look inside to your Steem account.

This is our next lesson. Join our group. Use the tag "gsg". This guarantees you to  receive free daily upvotes .  Here is about GSG Trail and our benefits. . Let's start from a bit of theory. There is our Blockchain - STEEM. It is as God, it exists everywhere and nowhere specifically. Steem lives on different devices. This structure makes it immune to damage. This system is created by geniuses  @ned  and  @dan . We are just users who can interact with Blockchain through various resources, sites and applications. The most popular are www.steemit.com and www.busy.org. There are another sites where you can look in the middle of your account. There are many such sites. I hope you write me in your comments about your favorite sites. Personally, I use  www.steemnow.com . This site gives me the opportunity to see two options. *The first *is my voice power and the time required for its recharge. The second  - who and how much gave me upvotes. Steemnow is a project b

Slide-bar of VOTING POWER

Image
This is the first lesson from GSG Trail. I will make these lessons as simple and short as possible. Today we will talk about the Slide-bar of VOTING POWER. Every Steemian must wisely spend his Voting Power. Steemian with STEEM POWER less than 500 do not have a Slide-bar on the main site www.steemit.com. Use the Slide-bar. It can be found at  www.busy.org . This site is a window on the STEEM BLOCKCHAIN. Imagine that BLOCKCHAIN is a field,  steemit  and  busy , and other sites are windows through which you can look at this field. But it's fairytale windows. You can interact with the field through these windows. They have different capabilities. www.busy.org has a Slide-bar for "small" accounts. In order to enable this, you must go to your settings at www.busy.org. Do not forget to press the SAVE button. After that you will be able to use the Slide-bar at www.busy.org. Be wise. And join to our GSG Trail. Source is me blog on Steem https://steemit.com/gsg/@art

Here is an instruction for joining to our GSG Trail. 1 Go to this site  https://steemauto.com/ . This is the site of the  @mahdiyari witness. Witnesses are important people in the system.

GSG Trail. What is it? Explanations and goals.

Image
The initiators of GSG Trail are  @artem-sokoloff  and  @sokoloffa . We have experience and knowledge about our BlockChainin. We also took part in the creation of the Ukrainian-Belarussian community. This structure is now alive and will continue to develop, I hope. We are now members of this group. This association has a geographic location:  Ukraine  and  Belarus . GSG Trail is a new format for international engagement.  GSG - Global Success Group.  The Trail system is necessary for the survival and success of our community. Next, I will explain the scheme of work. In fact, it is very simple and effective. Now there are two large groups on Steem. "Small" and "Big" accounts. 90% of "big" accounts do not pay attention to "small" accounts. "Small" accounts do not have the financial resources for successful independent development. Also, these accounts often do not have the necessary knowledge about useful "secret". GSG T
