RE: What supermarkets are good for
Not so interested in London.
Never thought about cashing out. Hardly worth it (119 dollars) - and I'm not putting in any of my own money (I haven't got) to make a swift profit (somehow magically). I dont know how to read the graphs or translate my intuition into smart investments. I'd need a tutor on a regular basis. But helping others, might be a thing I'll look into. It was the plan at the end of round one. Were we not into powering down at one stage? Is it wise to power up at all? Sigh. Back to the old question : what am I doing here?
I'm sure if I make a bit of an effort I might start to come up with a cunning strategy, but it could detract from the creative side. It calls for allies and specialists clearly. Slowly they are popping out of the woodwork for me. May be running a few more thoughts like these past you in the near future, if it's not inconvenient.
Inconvenient? You? Jamás! Right now, I don't see Steem going up anytime soon. There are several reasons for that, but I won't bore you with the details. I powered up a bunch of steem, but for me it is play money. I had powered down about 1700 steem and day traded altcoins with that until it turned over about 5 times and what I have in Steem now is part of that, I just brought it back to where it came from. (kind of..)
For you it depends on what you want. If you want a large audience it is not easy to achieve that here and other sites like wordpress and such may work out better. That being said, I'd love to keep you here because this platform needs a few writers with some substance, like yourself. You could become part of a community of writers, but they would expect you to power up and some return votes. I never got into that, not because I wasn't invited, but I don't want to be stuck reading the same people all the time ( yeah right, what am I doing now right?). If you want I can power up some more Steem and delegate the SP to you so you'd have more wiggle room without tying down your own stake. This would also give you the time to figure out if you like having the additional SP or if it leaves you not caring either way. I do have to tell you that if you have no plans for cashing out, you may as well power up. For one it's safer, if your account should get hacked it would take 13 weeks for them to take your steem giving you time to recover your account before they get it all.
As to making money trading crypto, there are a number of things you can do and strategies you can follow that would suit your needs and not bore you to death watching numbers all day long. When you are ready to discus that, please hit me up.
At nearly four in the morning I shan't be looking into the trading of crypto, but I am going to sleep on it and come back with questions. I am sure you have strategies to share that are exciting enough even for me.
The tip on the steem is most useful, because I already felt this to be the first thing to do, which should also give me enough wiggle room, right? Have to discover what the conversion rate it: maybe it gives me very little power these days. There is wise amount of steem to keep in stock you once told me....? I rember finding myself forever to low on it but I can't recall for what.
I am not after more readers, au contraire. For me a focussed audience, whether they spell out my every word or not, is helpful. Water in the desert. A casual clan very exhausting. Really Wordpress is not for me. It is one big drawer or a harddrive. I write anyway, more than I ever post in a day. What do I want to share it all for? With whom? More strangers? There has to be a purpose. Not an obvious crumb on a fishing rod, but some kind of dance floor. The clue to Steemit is - what I first found so despicable - the daily turnover. But not utterly random.
The money linked to content aspect is practically diabolical. What artist won't say that. But content can also be sacred for a day. What content can actually, like a sand mandala be brushed away without having been meaningless. Like dinnertable conversation.
The money makes for a common denominator, I and the guy on the edge of the pool listing his assets and showing us his latest Porsche are on the same boat. Going absolutely nowhere. That is fascinating for an esoteric researcher. But to do the research properly, I do often feel I have to get into wallet part of Steemit. But it's not my thing to judge and approve (vote) other people's work. It hurts the teacher in me and I'm just not soft enough to encourage the whole world.
Clearly the main problem is there is not enough and diverse influx for a community that sustains the idealism of Steemit. And the money is not getting "none the wiser". The content is not effecting a single thing except the interactions in the now: but then crazy meeting up in Bangkok.... The world's a little to mad for weary little me. This world is even madder somehow, despite or because of the very normal people here. It is not that the money is bad; it is doing something. Something odd. On many fronts. Quite simply, without the money in the middle, you and I would never have met. (I don't dive, you don't knit).
The experiment for which I was sent in (we esotericists do little out of our own accord; we follow voices within, could just be rumblings from too many strawberries) has very little to do with being read and everything with my project which is in effect a 24 hour meditation. Since this is also quite taxing, I equally share your resistance to join a tribe; as if I don't have 58 + books a month to get through as it is. I need input to have output and reacting to opinion drives me round the bend. Plus I can only do superficial-polite for so long. You are the more affable of us two.
Oh, and, I'm going to have to give it some serious thought why I might not go confruta, if you get my gist, for the wallet part. Mum's the word. It was something I meant to do from the very start, something I am used to doing, backing up, contingency plans, two points of view, incognito etc, but then content took over. But for me to split myself in two might not be possible. But it might be quieter. Surely a piece of cake for a Twin? Only have to find a way to fit 48 hours in a day.
Well if you are not looking for an audience, nor interaction with many, there is no need for more than the SP you already have. Having more than 500 SP gives you a slider and allows you to vote for the work of others for less than the full 100%. At 50% you can vote 20 times a day instead of the standard 10. Since you aren't interested in cashing out, putting it in savings might make more sense as it only takes a few days to get it back out.
I can certainly appreciate the fact that Steem brought together the diver and the knitter, and you're right about me, I'm a social creature alright and thoroughly enjoy your company and musings here.
HOW does one even power up: the wallet is a new mystery to me. No buttons to click. WHERE does one go to now? Am I not still powering down continuously since that is how I left my intentions in June 2018? Where to learn more from here (before I spend 10 hours going over round-about ways, let me be wise and ask you as my whizz kid.)
Thinking on the plowed field that a wise wo/man knows must be - dutifully at least - reploughed each year, if only to discourage the weeds, one counts the odds (always a rough estimate for this a-caluculated woman) of harvest here as minimal. Crows, bad weather, and much much drought, it is a small miracle indeed (considering your persona here: what you look - not - like, what you post, and the early stages of misanthropy I am beginning to develop) that I ever spoke a word to you at all. But what is it that Fleetwood Mac sings, again? I believe in miracles - and small efforts - that bring out the highly mauled social creature again.....
Much will be learned here until such time that I am at liberty to explain more. Got to make breakfast for someone who just got up. Use your posting key to access your Wallet, and use your active key to power up or down, and never use you main key.

TADA! Yes, that's the one I was looking for.
Time for the OAP home for me... it helps if you LOG INTO the wallet... I've cleared the doorstep, I'm in. Need a sit-down now. Will be asking your advice on mobility tools next. It goes soooo slow (all of a sudden after you pass 50) to remember anything new. You've got to practice every day. The widows in Greece and Italy have the right idea: they just stick to knitting the live long day.
Well since the wallet was split off from steemit, it works a little different. When you use your wallet to transact/transfer/power up/down and it prompts you to stay logged in do not click that option since it keeps you logged in with your active key!!
I also keep my keys on USB flash drives, convenient should you want to log in from a different machine, difficult to hack something that isn't connected, and having a second copy of your keys in a drawer somewhere provides a bit of safety.
I always have my steemworld page open and made it a bookmark in my browser. If you want the feed, click on that. if you want your wallet click on that. It's very quick and convenient.
Yes the bookmark function I use - and have a 27 inch screen to cope with them all and then some.
The USB flash drive is a handy reminder, thank you. Only I might have to wait till my son has left the house permanently and I have changed the locks, because all my drives are always snatched no matter where I hide them. This will be soon. (Although try finding a locksmith you can trust!).
This automatic voting setting (I am still not sure can be combined with the Sukhasanasister project, but worth researching anyway) where was that again? Were there not various ways to sign up for that? Some more kosher than others?
What is this delegation section?
Is it still so that there is no point upvoting a post older than 3 days?
Do new replies to old posts also stay old? Do these replies surfact to the top?
Do people still upvote replies and does it make any economic sense? It used to be all about political correctness. but stuff that now. Where's the money is my question now! (before I power up to actually put my money where my mouth is).
Ok, I'm back. To reveal the controls to your Wallet log in with your posting key, once logged in, you will see arrows to drop down menus. You can then choose the function you want after which you'll be prompted to use your active key.
