lol.... You didn't actually read my tutorial, did you? Vests are another method of tracking your progress. You earn vests with upvotes. It is also tied to your Steem Power somehow, but I don't know the actual details. All that math is just too much for me at this time.

o shucks, yes i did read it. all of it. it is very pleasant read. not the links though. must be my overly-stimulated brain could take everything in.

LOL... I can understand that. I just replied to your other comment and it said your account didn't exist! Must be a server issue.

Now I can't find the post to try again. I'll just respond here instead:
Thanks again for the compliment. I like to be as clear as possible. I actually made the tutorial of me selling my SBD because I couldn't find anything that answered all my questions. So I just dove in and learned as I went.

Absolutely! Teamwork makes it all so much easier.

I have not bought ANY cryptocurrencies. Everything I have in my wallet is what I earned... a whole $27... LOL. I expect that to grow faster and faster as I gain SP and followers. However I expect at some point Steemit will take away their loaned SP and I will drop again until I earn that back. In the meantime, I just keep plugging away and enjoy the ride!

does Steemit lend everyone SP when we first start = i have forgotten? i assumed that everyone had to buy steem to begin. so i bought some. i have only earned about 7 dollars. and i spend that on 'promoting'. good on you for earning 27 - my guess is that was from your tutorial - 'twas a very catchy title with great info, that is why i found it.

It seems all noobs get that. Look in your wallet and in the line where Steem Power is, look for numbers in brackets. That's the loaned amount.

I was notified about your comment even while I had logged out of Steemit.com! I guess as long as my browswer is on, I see the message? Had to log in to reply though.
