What is Delegation

Delegating Steem Power (SP) means a user could lease SP to another user. This could be used in many different cases. Suppose one has a lot of Steem Power but have no time to search for a great articles, read and reward others. This Power will stay unused and nobody would benefit. In this case you can share your SP to those who are ready to spend time surfing and curating the Steem and anytime you can get your SP back if you want.

Here is a transcript of the video above.

Then enter the username tho whom you wish to delegate your Steem Power in the To field and choose any amount of SP to delegate using the slider. Click Send button.

In our sample we are delegating 2.003 SP from @inspirations to @esteemapp account.

You will be asked for the PIN code prompt and once you're done you will see Transaction is broadcasted message meaning that it is written to the blockchain and you are delegated your SP successfully.

Refresh your Wallet page to see the changes. You will see some number/link with minus -4.028 SP in our example in your wallet under Steem Power section. Clicking on that number will open Delegated Vesting Shares window where you can see to whom you've delegated your Power and to get your Power back when needed.

If you are taking back your SP it will come back only after 7 days. This made to prevent Steem Power usage abuse schemes like one is delegating the power, upvoting draining the battery to 0% and taking the delegation back.
