I see that you are powering down, but the program is designed to help minnows get to 1,000 SP and they must agree to power UP. Your Choice, man. IMO it would be worth it... an account with 1,000 SP can earn a lot more than a small account under 100 SP

I still dont understand how the process works. It will take time for me to comprhend the rules and lingo. I did not join steemit to become a whale or fish or minow. I am a man, a human man who just wants to make freinds with like minded people who came here to give, and not beg for handouts. I want to learn about other cultures and languages, make real freinds in countries I can no longer travel to, due to my medical issues. I never realized it was so complex and focused on greed and steem power and other unknown terms. At least Im not on Facebook. @artwatch cursed me out on one of my posts on her blog, and I am going to give her 5 steem after the "power down" is completed. You can have the rest, if you need it to achieve your personal aspirations. Where I am destined to go- money and steem will mean nothing. Thank you for the invite, and let me know if you want the remaining steem gifted to your account. Marco.

I followed the link you provided above, and upvoted every post, if that helps. Im not fully capable of comprehending the whole steemit platform yet. All I know is that @artwatch left a vulgar comment about me and accused me of being a beggar- maybe you should adopt her instead, she desperately wants more steem. I will be content to shovel coal and tend to the boiler room and monitor the controls so that we can produce enough steem to make everyone happy. Her comment broke my spirit on this fine Christmas morning.

Thing-2 is trying to lift your spirits!

Marco, I am sorry that you had a bad experience. I hope I am not being motivated by greed, I just wanted to reach out to you with this offer. I'd rather see you stay and find good folks, I have not seen a single negative thing out of you and do not consider you a beggar at all. I saw your line "seeking technical employment" and thought that perhaps blogging on Steemit could be a supplemental income. You have a good start and I was just thinking perhaps an additional boost might get you over the hump.

Peace, Bro! Hope you have a better Christmas than it started out as, if possible...

Rob

Thank you Rob. I have noticed that people are so focused on gaining more power and less focused on interacting with each other. Theres always some new bot or scheme or scam that is supposed to boost your steem. Im not going to let one bad apple ruin my experience. I actually BUY steem from blocktrades using litecoin, and from now on- ive made the concious decision not to upvote people who dont contribute financially to this site. Its akin to digital shoplifting, in my opinion. Before I upvote- I check wallet activity FIRST. I can repair just about ANYTHING electronic, hydraulic, Electrical, Controlwork, Mechanical or PLC related. I cant do it physically, but send me a picture or a schematic and I can resolve your issues quite rapidly.

Cool!
I'm an electrician by trade, and you sound a lot like my Dad. He has refurbished variable frequency drives lately, among many other things. He used to buy broken CB radios and fix those. See you around, hope you stay and give it another shot!

Here's that "steemit for dummies" that you requested!!!

LMK if you like it, I might go and review some basics myself!
