How to Delegate Steem Power in Under 1 Minute (And How Much You Should Delegate to MinnowSupportProject)
It’s been a hassle for most people to delegate Steem Power (SP) to @minnowsupport. Incorrect information, confusing equations, a question of how much to delegate, etc. So here’s the deal: I’m going to tell you how to do it, and how much you should delegate. And I promise I’ll make it easy.
MinnowSupportProject - Learn to Whale.
How Much to Delegate
The question of questions. Somewhere between 10-25% of your available SP seems reasonable. That’s AT MOST ¼ of the weight of your vote. A few cents for most members. That leaves you with plenty of additional SP for curating great content and for that initial boost on your own articles.
What matters is that you’re supporting the MinnowSupportProject. Because it’ll support back. Don't forget to re-evaluate your contribution every few weeks, and up your delegated SP as you grow!
How to Delegate SP in Under A Minute
Prepare. Copy link. Follow 6 easy steps. Pat yourself on the back. It's easy!
Preparation
Here’s what you need to have prepared:
- Desired SP Delegation (verify you have enough available in your Wallet)
- Active posting key (go to Wallet, Permissions)
- The links I provided below
Delegation
You’re going to use the SteemConnect tool. No downloads, no apps, just pasting a link. Find your desired SP level below (or calculate your desired vests yourself).
Find your link below, then follow these steps:
- Copy the link and manually replace "username" in the link with your own (no @ symbol)
- Put the link in your browser, hit enter.
- Verify your information.
- Hit Continue.
- Enter your username (no @) and Active Private Key.
- Visit steemd.com/@minnowsupport and verify the transaction went through. You can send a screenshot to aggroed on the Discord server for your promotion! (Currently the steemd site is down, so just message aggroed).

Example:
And that time includes taking screenshots. BOOM! So what are you waiting for?
Want to Delegate a Different Amount?
Delegation is sent in vests, which are calculated using the following equation, rounded to SIX decimal places:
(1,000,000 / steem_per_mvest) x (Desired SP Delegation)
Where steem_per_mvest is found by going to https://steemd.com/ and looking at the top right. Currently it’s 483.23
Example for 250 SP:
(1,000,000 / 483.23) x (250)
(2,069.407942) x (250)
517,351.985500
Here’s the generic link:
Where username is your username, target is your targets username, and 0.000000 gets replaced with your desired vest amount (to six decimal places, even if they’re 0’s).

I can't find out how to undelegate? I want to verify this lol. Is it the same as delegating to a user except this time you put 0.000000? If that is correct..does that happen a week later? So if I want to delegate 1000 SP for 1 week then I delegate the equivalent vests and then immediately delegate 0.000000 to make it only active for 1 week?
You're correct on the undelegation part using 0.000000. I'm not sure if it remains available to the account once you've undelegated, So if you delegated them immediately set it to 0 it may not be available to either of you for a week.
Wow ok I just found it again lol. It does take 1 week I guess. https://busy.org/delegation/@timcliff/tutorial-how-to-delegate-sp-to-another-user-using-the-steemconnect-tool-from-busy-org
Ah ok. I have promoted minnow support a few times including links to the discord channel, and registered, as well but didn't see much happen afterwards. Thanks for sharing the info. Now I have a better understanding of how it works.
Glad it helped out - feel free to look me up in the discord channels whenever you have questions.
I need some sp on lease plz tell me know anyone interested to lease me Sp return of steem sbd btc
To make things easier with SP amount you can use "5%20SP" for instance at end of URL ;)
So usefull. Thanks a lot. i've done it.
Okay, I'm getting up to Step 5. and then I'm getting a red Error ❌ message...has this been happening to anyone else? And by Active key you mean our Steemit account password correct? @justinchase
Negative, go to your Wallet and go to Permissions. You'll see a Posting, Active, Memo, and Owner key. Click to show the private Active key, and use that.
You don't want to be entering your password anywhere except Steemit.com!
It seemed so obvious but thank you for confirming!! @justinchase
If you click on your wallet you will see your keys, also the Active key.
I'm too little.
So join up, get some help, get big, then delegate :)
