Introduce my self

in introduce •  6 years ago  (edited)

Hello Steemit community, I am still finding my feet (so to speak) on Steemit, the bots are a bit confusing, however I am sure that everything will come clear after a short while. I have certainly noticed the loyalty to steem by all of its members, this obviously paints a very good picture about the platform and its members.
My name is William Turner. I live in Australia on board a 50 foot steel yacht which I bought as a bare shell, I enjoy fitting it out and making it function well as a home. Alternative living you may of gathered is an interest. I do all of my own work on the boat, well so far, I have done, maybe with some things down the track I may seek help. I have solar and wind power for my electrical requirements and I am very interested in "Green" energy. I am interested also in Hydrogen fuel cells, and the "Green" energy that can be produced from the water in the oceans I will be sailing in. Basically these fuel cells use electricity to split the seawater back into the gases Hydrogen and Oxygen, and these gases are then used in conjunction with the diesel to power the 8.1 litre diesel engine the boat is fitted with. I am interested in many subjects, Cryptocurrency's also are something I am interested in and its through my investments and research in crypto that I have found Steemit. I hope one day to become a published author also. I am working on my first book which I begun many years ago. This has been quite a mission for me to date, and I first needed to work upon my reading and writing, learning to spell correctly. I have many more interests also and will introduce them as time goes by. I am looking forwards to my Journey within Steemit

Hello billyt! Welcome to Steemit! Hope you'll like the community here. As a start, here are 5 tips that we believe will be helpful to you:

  1. Keep your passwords safe: Unlike conventional sites, Steemit has 4 types of passwords. Each offers varying degrees of access to your account, so know where and when to use each of them. Also, make sure to keep them all safe and secure.
  2. Get Steem rewards: When writing a post, you'll have the option to choose how to receive your reward: "Default 50%/50%" or "Power Up 100%". As of this moment, choosing Default 50%/50% is the better option. But this can change over time. Check our post to know more.
  3. Upvote wisely: When upvoting, wait at least 30 minutes after the post is published to maximize your curation reward. Also, make sure not to upvote too much too fast so as not to drain your voting power.
  4. Know your Steem, Steem Dollars and Steem Power: Steem and Steem Dollars are the 2 main currencies here. Convert and power up more Steem into Steem Power so you can have higher values on your upvotes.
  5. Have Fun and Enjoy!
