BlockTrades updates web site, first round of delegation pre-orders filled
We've updated our site's software (https://blocktrades.us) to improve usability and performance as we scale to increasing numbers of users. Below are some of the new features.
BlockTrades sessions auto-expire now after a few hours
Your BlockTrades session will auto-expire now after a few hours of inactivity (e.g. no mouse clicking, typing, etc). Twenty minutes before the session will expire, a dialog will pop up to warn you of the pending expiration and you can click on it to continue your session.
If you are using a public terminal, we still recommend that you manually logout when you finish your session, or close the page if you're using an unregistered session.
Web site checks for new versions of site and asks user to update if a new version is found
Going forward, our site's code can auto-check for updates to our web site, and will prompt the user in such cases to update to the latest and greatest version of the site. This is mainly useful for users who leave a tab open to our web site for long periods of time.
Increased visibility of the option to backup the password for Steem accounts created on our site
Our Create Steem Account page now highlights the option to download a file containing a copy of the password for the account being created.
Added warning when user tries to send Steem Power to an exchange
Generally it makes no sense for a normal user to send Steem Power to an exchange: they should only be sending Steem or Steem Dollars. The new version of the site will now warn a user if they try to send Steem Power to one of the exchanges known to our system.
Updated to latest stable version of Angular (5.2)
We've updated to the latest version of the Angular programming framework, allowing us to decrease the size of our pages (allows our pages to load slightly faster).
Filled first round of Steem Power delegation pre-orders
We filled the first round of delegation pre-orders. Unless you purchased within an hour or two of this post, your delegation should now be filled. The next round will be filled on the evening of February 16th.
@blocktrades
The SP Delegation is 50% more expensive now. I understand it is market and demand drives prices UP. But it has got way expensive now.
Is there any chance the prices get to normal or the good times has been sealed to the past?
I can't say where the prices will go in the future, of course, as it's primarily set by the market. But at the moment, we're still pre-selling delegations fast enough that we are still unable to even offer immediately purchasable steem delegations, so I don't anticipate any near term price reduction. A lot depends on the price of Steem: if Steem goes up relative to other currencies, then the delegation price will go up relative to those currencies, and vice-versa. So it's also a function of what currency you are buying the delegation with. But if you're buying with Steem, the price is expected to stay constant for now.
Its not about Steem relative to other currencies. If one could buy 90 day delegation of 100 SP for 7 Steem, now it costs 11.5 Steem.
Taking into consideration, that steem power holder gets max 25% from upvotes as curation rewards, current price is not profitable.
The price is probably dictated by voting bots. They make a lot more money using that leased steem power. So at this price, for them it is still profitable.. Unfortunately, for a normal user, who only receives curation rewards, it is not profitable any more to lease..
Actually, someone wrote a post that analyzed people buying the delegations from our site and found that the majority wasn't bots. I upvoted as I found the info interesting, it also had some good data that showed how widely the delegations were being distributed among different users.
That's very good news for the long term value of steem, as the demand for SP is not artificially created by voting services.

Help Me Please Some Sbd
thaks your porst dear sir i am new member help upvote and solution ida
With the price of steem dropping why haven't the delegation prices dropped as well? Also was I not suppose to get a discount for renewal of my delegation? My delegation renewal price is more expensive than what I originally paid.... I thought there was a 10 percent discount for renewal?
Prices for delegations have dropped in cases where the steemprice relative to the payment coin has dropped. But if you purcahsed your delegation more than a couple of months ago, our base price for a delegation relative to the price of Steem has gone up, as demand was so high that we couldn't keep any inventory.
The renewal discount is relative to the current price for purchasing a delegation. Basically it is a 7 day discount to current pricing that we give because whenever we give a new delegation we lose 7 days before we can reassign that delegated SP: so it's more efficient for us to renew an existing delegation than it is to give someone a new one, so we pass on that discount.

Hello @blocktrades, I got message that my delegation is expiring in 48 hours. Although it is expiring on 22.02.2018. Please check what is wrong
@blocktrades
I sent 33 SBD one hour ago , is there a problem why it’s not being sent to the EOS address I sent ?
The additional of the warning before sending SP to an exchange is a great feature. A friend once sent some SP to an exchange. Needless to say, he lost those funds.
I'm happy this feature was added.
