Hello Steemians! Welcome to Steemit Lesson 8!

Design credits : @rayhan97

I'm making this tutorial on how do we delegate our Steem Power to a certain account and how to get it back (undelegate) when you want to. During the past days, I have been delegating Steem Power to important accounts and also thru account registrations via Steeminvite. So this tutorial will definitely help you with an easy step to delegate/undelegate Steem Power.

How Do We Delegate our Steem Power?

These are the things we need for the delegation/undelegation process :

• Steemit name of the account you wish to delegate

• The Amount of Steem Power you want to delegate (we need to convert it into vest which will be shown below)

• Your Active Key or Master Key (For Steemconnect login)

Let's Start!

1. Convert your Steem Power to Vest

There's an amazing site that lets you convert your Steem Power (Steem) to Vest. You need the equivalent vest during the delegation process (not the Steem Power).

Here's the link : http://www.steemdollar.com/vests.php

There's actually other services that the iste offers. Like Steem and Steem Dollars Coversion, etc. You need to input the amount of Steem Power you want to delegate. I'll take 100 Steem Power as an example :

Then an equivalent amount of vest will be seen on the right side. You need that to input on the delegation. Here's the look :

2. This is the URL of the Delegation

  https://v2.steemconnect.com/sign/delegateVestingShares?delegator=yoursteemitaccount&delegatee=theirsteemitaccount&vesting_shares=N.NNNNNN%20VESTS

You need to replace or plugin the details/information into the URL.

• Replace your Steemit name to yoursteemitaccount
• Replace delagatee's Steemit name to theirsteemitaccount
• Place the Total amount of vest you converted on N.NNNNNN

Hit Enter!

This will give you a confirmation like this (I took an example of delegating to @curie). Click the Continue Button

Then you will be required to input your Active / Owner key to perform the transaction. Then it will broadcast successfully, indicating that the delegation is successful! This will look like this :

Congrats! Delegation process is Complete!

How Do I Undelegate?

Well, it's the same as the procedure presented above. You just need to figure out the difference between the two. The difference is "The Amount of VEST" that you input. Since you are undelegating, replace N.NNNNNN with 0.

Just Replace N.NNNNNN to Zero and follow the Steps above!

That's it!

Hope you had taken a full grasp of Delegation/Undelegation Process. Please resteem to share it to other who still are having difficulty in this matter.
