Introducing Myself

in #introduceyourself • 6 years ago

  Hi, everyone. I have been watching posts for a day or two, and now I want to introduce myself to the community. My name is John, and I live in the Kansas City area of the U.S. I am married, and my kids are in college and high school. I am especially interested in novel technologies that have real world applications in health, science and business. I also like sports and coffee and enjoy photography. So I will occasionally post some of my photos. 

I was drawn to the Steemit community by the interesting blend of contributors, as well as the novel approach to weaving together crypto tech and mechanics of interaction. I like to write, and I try to put an emphasis on making sure that all of my posts and comments are meaningful and worth your time to read.  I am very happy to have a chance to participate in this community.

I look forward to meeting many of you online and sharing thoughts with one another. Have an awesome day! I will close by including one of my favorite quotations.

    Hello snowshoe! Welcome to Steemit! Hope you'll like the community here. As a start, here are 5 tips that we believe will be helpful to you:

    1. Keep your passwords safe: Unlike conventional sites, Steemit has 4 types of passwords. Each offers varying degrees of access to your account, so know where and when to use each of them. Also, make sure to keep them all safe and secure.
    2. Get Steem rewards: When writing a post, you'll have the option to choose how to receive your reward: "Default 50%/50%" or "Power Up 100%". As of this moment, choosing Default 50%/50% is the better option. But this can change over time. Check our post to know more.
    3. Upvote wisely: When upvoting, wait at least 30 minutes after the post is published to maximize your curation reward. Also, make sure not to upvote too much too fast so as not to drain your voting power.
    4. Know your Steem, Steem Dollars and Steem Power: Steem and Steem Dollars are the 2 main currencies here. Convert and power up more Steem into Steem Power so you can have higher values on your upvotes.
    5. Have Fun and Enjoy!
