What is Delegation?

Delegation is a process of delegate some of your Steem Power (SP) to the services @Minnowbooster and @smartsteem for earning some passive income. It doesn't mean that You can only delegate to these Services, You can delegate to any bid-bots or Basically You can delegate to your own bid-bot or any other account that will help you to earn some passive income in a form of Steem & SBD on a daily basis. It can be beneficial for those who have a good amount of SP because the more you have SP, then the more you'll earn passive income from the delegation.

I delegated 20 SP of mine to @Minnowbooster Bot. I know this is not enough SP to delegate because right now I don't have much SP in my wallet. I performed this task just for the sake of learning that how to delegate & un-delegate SP to/from Minnowbooster Service. You can clearly see my (-20.578 Sp) delegation underneath my SP which is shown with a negative sign, It means I can't use that amount of SP for a certain period to Upvote anyone with my full SP.

Note: You've to keep in mind that If you delegate some of your SP to any services, you are not losing your SP and your SP is fully safe because you can undelegated your SP at any time. The best part is that it is the most risk free way of earning some passive income.

How to Delegate SP to Minnowbooster (MB)?

To delegate Your SP to @Minnowbooster, The first task is to visit the MB Website., then You have to select the Delegate to Bot option from the left side of MB website.

MB distributes 90% of the revenue it receives among the delegators who delegate SP to the MB bot and the delegator will earn passive income based on their amount of SP that they have been delegated.

After delegation the delegator should put their Username on the https://steemd.com website and I am sure each of them will get this message like mine as in the image below.

How to Undelegate SP from Minnowbooster (MB)?

A lot of people delegate SP to Minnowbooster to earn some passive income, but later on, when they want to undelegate their SP back from this Service, They didn't find any option to undelegate their SP back. So I thought I had to explain the way to undelegate your SP back from Minnowbooster by following some simple steps. As I said before that I delegated my SP to MB just for the sake of learning because I know I couldn't earn enough passive income from my 20 SP delegation. So let's get started.

undelegate sp

The undelegation process is quite similar to the delegation, means you have to select the Delegate to Bot option from the MB website and fill out the fields, but this time you should write a negative sign beside the number of SP that you want to undelegate and then click the Delegate CTA to move forward. If you still find it difficult, So basically take a look at the image above.

Once you clicked on the Delegate CTA, You will move on to the next page where it shows like the image below with the Steem Power of 0.000 SP. then press continues and follows the similar steps as you did while delegation and the Steemconnect basically understand that you want to undelegate your SP.

SteemConnect undelegate

After completed all the process, You will successfully undelegate your SP from Minnowbooster Bot, but It takes 7 days to get your SP back in use after undelegation. As always you will get a message on the https://steemd.com/ website like the image below.

Many thanks for this very important post....

I have to try this.. Many thanks.
Regards, Stefan.

How safe is delegation ? What if for instance Minnowbooster gets his full key get hacked and his SP is stolen ? Will this also affect my delegate Steem Power in his account, so my SP would also be lost ?
What are the risks by delegating big sums of SteemPower to accounts like MinnowBooster or simular accounts, that pay out passive income this way ?
Many thanks. Regards, Stefan.

thank you for the explanation... I'm not in the situation to delegate SP yet and I don't know if I wanna do this in the future in this way... but I'm interested in: How can I see the passive income I can earn e.g. delegating 10 SP ?

Thanks for reading @rebeccaontheroof.

They will send you the daily earnings (passive income) into your wallet.

but is there somewhere a calculator who can tell me how high the earnings could be?

I couldn't find any calculator on Minnowbooster, but @smartsteem basically provides a calculator to let you know how much you will earn from a certain amount of delegation. You can check out yourself by visiting https://smartsteem.com/ and select calculate revenue under delegation, but you must read this blockquote first, which is from Smartsteem website.

These values are not absolute and are changing based on STEEM & SBD-Price, available Reward-Fund and other variables.

I hope this might help you.

thank you for the explanation !

something good to know ... thanks for posting this

Thanks for reading @rebeccabe, Glad to hear.
