Hello Steemit, really excited to be part of the community!

in #introduceyourself6 years ago

Hello all, the name is Xelloss and long story short I am a graduate student who is doing research on renewable energy. I plan on using this account as a platform for talking about everything related to sustainability and solar energy, as well as to find other people with similar interests. I may even post my bits own research on here from time to time so that you all can get an idea of what is going on at the frontiers of renewable energy technologies.

My other interests include science in general, and all things science fiction (I'm a giant nerd, I know :P). On my spare time I like to do long distance running and play chess competitively. I may post commentary from time to time on my thoughts on a number of the unsolved mysteries of our time as well, so be on the look out for that. Can wait to hear from you all!

Hello xelloss! 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!
