SBD's current value is around 93 cents. Blockchain allows converting SBD to STEEM with a $1 valuation on SBD.
Here is how you can do it with Lightsteem:
from lightsteem.client import Client
from lightsteem.datastructures import Operation
import logging
def convert(client, owner, amount, request_id):
return client.broadcast(
Operation('convert', {
"owner": owner,
"amount": amount,
"requestid": request_id
})
)
if __name__ == '__main__':
client = Client(
loglevel=logging.DEBUG,
keys=["active_key"]
)
try:
resp = convert(
client, '', '8.000 SBD', <random_integer_id>)
except Exception as e:
print(e.raw_body)
Note: There are probably a couple of frontends allowing this for end users. But can't recall their URLs now.
Edit: Check SBD-Converter to do the convert via web interface. Also, @themarkymark explained converting via Stemconnect on this post.
