Let's save the SBD peg

SBD's current value is around 93 cents. Blockchain allows converting SBD to STEEM with a $1 valuation on SBD.

Here is how you can do it with Lightsteem:

from lightsteem.client import Client
from lightsteem.datastructures import Operation

import logging


def convert(client, owner, amount, request_id):
    return client.broadcast(
        Operation('convert', {
            "owner": owner,
            "amount": amount,
            "requestid": request_id
        })
    )


if __name__ == '__main__':
    client = Client(
        loglevel=logging.DEBUG,
        keys=["active_key"]
    )
    try:
        resp = convert(
            client, '<your_username>', '8.000 SBD', <random_integer_id>)
    except Exception as e:
        print(e.raw_body)

Note: There are probably a couple of frontends allowing this for end users. But can't recall their URLs now.

Edit: Check SBD-Converter to do the convert via web interface. Also, @themarkymark explained converting via Stemconnect on this post.
