Bandwidth Exceeded

in #blocktrades8 years ago

I just tried to comment on a post by @blocktrade and got this message in red: "kirbyhopper bandwidth limit exceeded. Please wait to transact or power up STEEM." What's that all about? How is that even possible?

Looks like you're using up all your bandwidth. It's proportional to how much SP you have I think. Why don't you just convert your SBD to STEEM in the internal market then power up? You don't need an account to use block trades.

Must have been the pictures I posted with my comments.

I dunno. I just tried again and it went through. All I was trying to do was post a comment on steemit. I wasn't even trying to transact or power up, but the message in red said to wait to do that. Weird.

By "transact" it means any action on steemit I think. Comments use bandwidth. Waiting let's your bandwidth recharge. Powering up is the alternative to waiting. I agree, it's not very clear.

Your bandwidth is at 5% right now. Try going to your wallet and accepting rewards. Then click on the number for SBD and click market in the drop-down. Buy STEEM.
