My introduction - Right out of military service and fresh to the concept of blockchain

Protip:
Resteems by Resteeming services are usually 0 value. Trying to lure you to another website, asking to send money or trying to get password.. they are always a bit dodgy.

@kennufromfinland also a good tip, you should almost always log in with the private posting key :) Losing your "master password" can mean all your Steem and SBD can be transferred away and the account hijacked.

Thank you, I will keep that in mind. l'm learning as I go so i appreciate every tip I can get.

A question: How long do I keep the delegated steem power I received at signup, and how long does it typically take to reach a decent amount?

And to add, I'm not pointing out a specific service is a scam or trying to trick you. There are many good honest services, but it's always recommended to think twice if you are asked for money and prefer your private posting key everywhere :)

The delegated SP may remain for months, but due to increase in new users it might be shorter than what I have been used to. But with consistent quality, making connections and all.. getting a decent amount might be after a few weeks or few months ;) Depends on what you see as a decent amount.

Luckily you won't lose the SP you have collected and I've managed to collect the over 1000 SP I have now during a longer period of time without taking any pressure in it. You can also always buy SP especially if you have other cryptocurrencies to spare.

@apsu, you've been on Steemit long enough to know that Steemconnect is made by Steemit inc. Why are you spreading rumors against an open-source community ran project?

Sure we don't give a high vote now, but the users are welcome to join the trail, strengthening the project.

@kennufromfinland Thank you for using our free service. Once you land on the steemconnect page, you're welcome to return to steemit.com or close the window.

I did not mention steemconnect but it is one of the few services I would give my posting key to.

You should know there are sites and services used to try to steal password from the users, so I think it is a service for newbies to point out the dangers.

Sorry if this seemed like ana attack directly at this service, but I still believe in what I say: most of resteeming services are not useful and many links to other sites can try to steal your password.
