BlockTrades is running a temporary "HF20" sale on Steem delegations (50% off)
The switchover to the Resource Credit system in Hard Fork 20 has temporarily left a lot of users without enough Steem Power to broadcast transactions.
To help Steemians combat this problem, we've temporarily lowered the costs of delegations purchased on BlockTrades by 50%. You can buy a delegation with another cryptocurrency such as ethereum or litecoin and directly power up your Steem account.
how long will this promo least ?
I'm not really sure yet. I guess at least for next few days while people are recovering their resource mana.
Good Morning,
I know you guys are super busy but about a half hour or so ago I transferred some ETH from my coinbase wallet to blocktrades for STEEM. The transaction was successful, however the STEEM has not made it to my STEEM wallet. I have used your service for a long time now and this has never happened.
Is it a HF issue and just delayed? Not sure how to contact your guys directly so I am posting here in hope you will see and respond.
Thank you for your great service and looking forward to getting this update done.
It's related to the HF: we're temporarily out of resource credits to send the Steem (a bug in the current calcuations allowed us to temporarily get negative resource credits, so we have to wait till it regenerates back to positive). There's a note up on our site at https://blocktrades.us about it. We'll send your Steem as soon as we can: short of another code update by steemit, that will be on Monday, sorry for the delay.
Ok. Thank you so much for the response. You are correct that it is one your page, I overlooked it.

Hi @blocktrades, I would like to bring to your attention my request for SP delegation (90 days) that I haven't received until now. The transaction is about 11hours ago. Below are the screenshots of the transaction taken at steemd.com & in blocktrades website for your reference:
Note: Based on steemd.com records / history, I have not receive the 108.931 SP even though I already sent the 6.225steem.
Please look into it. Thank you

Hi, sorry for the delay, we'll process your order and similar orders on Monday when we recover enough resource credits to send it. See other comments here for more details about it.

Got it. Thanks a lot @blocktrades
We can buy only with other cirrency or we can have it using own steem. And till what time the offer is applicable ?.Also with voting power almost sucked up and no way it is going to climb up in jext 4-5 days...is it ok to have delegation now?

You can buy with Steem or with other currencies. The sale is good for at least the next 4 days. If your voting power is completely sucked up, it will still help some, as you will get more RC as your voting power refills, but it's definitely more useful if you have at least some voting power when you buy it as you will get more RC immediately in such a case.
Can you add a cash option? I hear that is still being used by some older people not in crypto yet.
We're working on it, but the regulations around cash are very complicated and burdensome in the country where I live (USA), so I'm very conservative about cash transactions despite the company being located in another jurisdiction.
Paypal friends and family is a great option on a small scale.
Keep up the great work and kind heart, it helps the platform a lot!
Blocktrades still operating at full speed today, sold them some SBD and transaction was instant. At least something works around here
Hf20 doesn't relate to blocktrades in anyway, it should work.

Not really true: our service interacts with the Steem witness and wallet processes, so a HF does potentially affect us. That's why most exchanges aren't allowing deposit/withdrawal of Steem: they haven't yet got their wallets operational and/or made necessary changes to communicate with the witness and wallet code.
I'd upvote you but i'm still at under 50 percent voting power
But we still can also pay with steem? Please confirm @blocktrades
Yes, you can also pay with Steem, assuming you can have enough RC to do the transfer.
Is RC related to transfer amount or per transaction only?
Per transaction only, there is no relation to transfer amount. But different operations in a transaction can cost different amounts (for example, voting is cheaper than posting or commenting).
Cheers mate - sounds doable - need to grab my laptop to get started, never bought delegation yet - would be a first lol
Thanks for the swift deal @blocktrades - good work!
Does the discount apply to renewals?
yes
