African born and bred. Born in Zambia , lived and educated in Zimbabwe , now living in Port Elizabeth part of the Nelson Mandela Metro.steemit.jpg
Studied as an accountant , but my passion is telecoms and technology. The Blockchain is the next technology that will change the world , and Steemit is at the forefront of that change. Apart from crypto currencies , i love anything African, love writing and reading , love watching sports , spending time with my family and exploring my beatiful City. Check out this awesome sunset here in Port Elizabeth!! PE sunset.jpg
As an extrovert , I love socialising and meeting people from all walks of life. I believe in people , humanity is all we have to make our world a better place. I do my part in my community, please share with me what you guys do.

Hello johngreigmeyer! 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!

Welcome to Steem Community @johngreigmeyer! As a gentle reminder, please keep your master password safe. The best practise is to use your private posting key to login to Steemit when posting; and the private active key for wallet related transactions.
