RE: What supermarkets are good for

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.

Sort:  

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?

I don't do auto votes, but I can find out for you if you want. People use bid bots to get their posts on the trending page, but I thought you were not after a bigger audience. I tried a few bid bots on a handful of posts, but never saw a return larger than what I had paid for the service and came to the conclusion that having friends with more VP was more effective.

I thought there was a time I was on your automatic voting system. I still get votes from malloryblythe for example and she's completely vanished into the world of finance (or worse, with bouts of severe melancholia). Where do those auto votes come from? I don't think it's for me, at this stage in the project, but I am broadly orientating myself rather haphazzardly (or creatively shall we say).
Indeed, you know me well enough, I have no interest in paying for anything I can do better myself. Thinking of taking a plumbing course actually, now I think that last sentence over.

? (favorite emoji face)? what does this mean? Part of sukhasanasister's STEEM POWER is currently delegated. Delegation is donated for influence or to help new users perform actions on steemit. Your delegation amount can fluctuate.

I delegated 500 steem to your account so you can determine whether you want to power up before you tie up your steem. I have thousands delegated to my alts to restore my rep.

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).

Posts can only generate a payout from votes in the first 5 or 6 days. After that you can still up vote an older post or comment, you will lose the VP for that vote, but the recipient will only see the green triangle appear in Steemworld but no payout. Original replies to posts are ordered chronologically until the vote difference changes the order to the highest vote first.

Yes people still up vote replies and I'll be up voting as many of yours as I can. I think new replies are just that, new replies and open to receive a vote within the first 5-6 days.

You don't have to power up, you can use mine. If I didn't have other coins I can cash out, I would not have powered up Steem. Remember that it takes a minute to power up, but 13 weeks to power it back down.

I woke up with the idea to vote replies. Okay so it was a little voice. And these little voices are very cute because the less immortal side of my twin is also a sceptic, but they are becoming more and more insistent about any number of things. Inconveniently so? I would not know what convenience was anymore, I just appreciate all the help I can get.

On a less rambling note: I too shall be replying to votes, maybe even extremely so. (More on my extremism tomorrow).
If only because they are posts an sich. Take my sweet friend, the ever melancholic Persian Sina-adventure. He then gets a cent, on one of his off days, when he kindly makes the effort to communicate by way of a reply. I mean, lets face it, you need to be a hero to get through a post of mine (even skimmingly). That needs rewarding. Especially if you have Farsi for your first language. Excellent command of English anyway, and a relatively thorough reader (but the TEFL teacher feels so bad about all that gets lost in the nuance now I will not consider my potential larger audience as minimally multi-lingual and overdosed on cup-cakes, and therefore no longer let them cramp my style (okay, so I never was very big on the compromise) - I can feel in advance - how misconstrued I have to be in his ears. But he is valuable to me: a guy who hardly knows what he is doing here, but more to the point, he has brought here that he does not knowing what he is doing out there . An invaluable layer of truth.

The reply-voting seems to be important to my project. Or voting in general, for I don't feel like voting at all to anything that doesn't layer on. It's the most exhausting part of being here, and I almost admire the guys by the pool doing this for a living.

But how would that sit with the finer workings of the System. Sort of feeding into a very small pool. It's all peanuts, not even, but as above, so below, knock on effects and all that.... I watched the Big Short twice but must try again. All totally legit but defeating the main aim of generating more and more and more through the main idea of curating. Suppose one backtracked and replied, and that reply got upvoted, then the core premise of keeping the product (content) in motion is going to get another flavour. Hopefully a richer, deeper one. But I am not sure it can economically work and then I am not a Michael Burry (Christian Bale) and I lose my track of my thought about what I am really seeing, because I lack the knowledge of how things work. This is why I have to keep on asking you dumb questions.

The delegation now explained, it is gift to the project (i.e. to all extents and purposes claiming full responsibility: me) . I was just writing about why I wasn't powering up, in a post for tomorrow...so we are on track with that one too. Thank you very much, it has given me a 0.001 cent presence!

I wiggle happily.

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.
