Getting Your Steem Power Delegation Back From MinnowBooster
First.. this is not a critique
I love @minnowbooster, which has been dubbed the "Swiss Army Knife" for minnows. It's a valuable service for noobs of @steemit because it's an ATM for Automated Delegated SP Leasing, giving minnows much-needed STEEM POWER BOOST to have a greater influence on the platform. You basically delegate STEEM POWER to the @minnowbooster bot and it pays you interest.

I started playing with it last week and delegated 730 SP to see what the daily payout would be. I received daily payments of prorated profit returns and it went straight into my balance. However... after a few days without voting power, I missed my 11 cent contributions, so I started the process of getting my SP back.
I'm pretty tech-savvy, but had a really hard time figuring it out. It's not super clear how to cancel your delegation of SP and get all that voting weight back. I ended up in the MinnoBooster discord server and was helped by @furious-one who walked me through it. He did such a great job, I figured I’d share the love and pass on the knowledge.
STEP 1: Return to the Giving Tree.
Use the same page you originally delegated all that hard earned steem power https://www.minnowbooster.net/delegate but this time, put in negative number for the amount you want back.
STEP 2: Zero Out That Vest.
The main thing is to make sure steem connect shows you are delegating 0.000000 vests. On the second screen, you should see this.
STEP 3: Duh. Password.
Yeah. I'm not showing you that screen. You got this.
STEP 4: Boo-ya!
Remember, you have to wait 7 days for all the swagger to return to your account. Not quite sure why such a long wait, but in 7 days I should have all that SP safely back in my wallet.
Again.. A big shout-out to @furious-one who came through with the save. He's a great example of what this community should be doing.
If you like what you see, I’d appreciate a follow and I’ll do the same.
Thanks gomatthew, exactly what I was looking for. Easier than playing around with the URL :)
You got it
this is it the answer I’ve been looking for appreciate this info
No problem!
Was looking for this info and thanks again for post :) even if its 4 months ago I didn't know where else to look!
Glad it helped! Keep Steeming
Thanks for the step by step how to....I wondered if a negative would do the trick but decided to search for instructions first. I'm glad I did.
I have also been using vessel to stop delegating power to minnowbooster.
thanks for this !
Thank you for this, I had the exact same issue and couldn't find the solution anywhere. Minnowbooster is great but should really add this to their site somewhere.. Thanks again!
Thanks for pointing out to users & putting emphasis on Step 2, it's important! Cheers bro!
Another thing I figured out recently was how you can't power down if you have SP locked in a delegation (even if that delegation has already been cancelled). I also played with this tool a bit which is an interesting desktop wallet for STEEM: https://github.com/aaroncox/vessel
