Hello everyone, welcome again to my blog. I have taken my time to follow the tutorials for achievement 5 task 2 by @yohan20n and I'm ready to review it.Thanks to @njwan, my achievement 5 task 1 has just been verified. I will be talking about #steemscan.com, one of steem tools created by @roadofrich and @futureshock. Just like poloniex, binance etc, steemscan.com is an exchange platform on the steem blockchain for converting steem to other cryptocurrencies one wish such as TRX, BTC, USDT etc. It is easy to use, hence enable all users especially newbies to transact within steemit without being dupped by older steemians once they offer help.

The transaction fee charged depends on the cryoto you are converting to. TRX has the least charge hence advised to use that when steem tokens are low. For the transaction above, the fee was less than 1.1TRX

One can search for a particular transactions with the help of transaction ID, the additional parameters are the filter which can speed up your search, making it easier.
