RE: The ULTIMATE Newbie Guide To Steemit! [ IFC S2R17 ]

in #steem5 years ago

Great article ayushjalan! Very thorough and you covered a lot, based on the comments it looks like it helped quite a few people as well which I think it awesome! Nice work. :D

I think the only part I kind of took issue with or disagreed with was this.

Resource Credits and it is based on the amount of Steem Power you have. It is generated overtime but you usually won't need to worry about it anyway.

I realize you said "usually won't need to worry about it" and that may be true in general though I've noticed quite a few people having troubles with RC and have even delegated to help, maybe they changed something but it seems to me like this can be an important factor right at the very beginning when someone joins?

Other than that one thing I think you did a great job, I like how you went over the keys and suggested people save the owner key somewhere safe outside of their computer as I think that is one of the most important things!

Normally I'd leave a longer more in depth comment but as a long time user who knows this stuff already I couldn't find much personally to mention so I just wanna sort of generally say good job and that I'll be keeping an eye out on this one when it comes time to vote, I think you did an excellent service for newcomers. :)Great entry man!

Hmmm, I haven't seen anyone having trouble with RC so far, but it can definitely be possible. If you use up your RC entirely, you are not able to interact with people or make posts or transactions. Perhaps I should include that in.

Still, I don't think most people would find it an issue, especially newbies. Their interaction with the community is fairly limited when starting out, but it's also true that since their SP is low, so will their RC be. Thanks for bringing up that point!

I almost lost all my keys once about 7 months ago when there was something wrong with my computer and I didn't save any of my keys offline. I pretty much accepted that all of my work on Steemit has gone to waste and I'll have to start all over again.

It was scary and incredibly disappointing, at least till I found out that my keys were fortunately not erased. I wouldn't want that to happen with anyone else.

Haha I can understand. The post was meant to help people, and judging from the comments, I think it's serving its purpose pretty good. Thanks for the feedback! I loved writing this one up :)
