Wallet
You can manage your wallet in a handy and beautiful way with eSteem Surfer. Claim rewards, send and receive Steem and SBD tokens, Power Up or Power Down your Steem Power, lock your funds into the Savings account for additional security and check current Steem/SBD rates.
Points

Thank you for your review, @tykee! Keep up the good work!
I look forward to every improvement and I am pleasantly surprised every time. I think introducing the points was an excellent idea that will greatly improve everyone's work.
Just switched on my machine and thought to myself to log into my esteem surfer and saw an update notification and I hit it and boom, I saw the points icon. Good work esteem team and I still await to see how these points will be used. I am trusting the esteem team to come up with something brilliant.
Stay tuned 🎵
Looks great!!!
Why not just make a really awesome interface that everyone WANTS to use.
I mean i'm all for gamification but something about this just seems desperate
... but... what are the usages of the Points?
I suppose you are commenting about post, not sure what you mean by desperate, maybe you commenting on top comment?! Usage of points as mentioned in release notes and earlier posts, will be added in next release. We have number of use cases that users love using and how to make sure gamification of the app is unique. We are already seeing improvements in terms of retention and usage, number of users recommended how they want to use their points, so we are considering them as well. I guess you will just have to wait and see 😉
K sounds good
thank you @good-karma for your efforts ;)
we still looking for more updates about esteem points
Well, you’re one step behind on this one.
Partiko has a Points system long ago and their points are already exchangeable.
Posted using Partiko iOS
Every product has their usage and advantages. We are well, many more steps behind Facebook or Instagram, that doesn't mean we will stop.
But in Partiko you can get points by watching videos and I think most Partiko Point whales got their huge stash from referrals.
So I don’t know... maybe it’s less flawed. In Partiko I‘ve been stuck in the 100+ range for a long time, with some users it’s impossible to catch up.
But don’t get me wrong, I like Partiko too, the app is great.
How does that deal with Surfer 🏄 app?
Hoping to be able to redeem them for some STEEM.
