Hi guys! I’m A and I’ve recently joined the #Steemit community!
Bit of background about me, I live in #London, I’ve recently gotten married and I work as a Technology Consultant at the largest Technology Consultancy in the world, #Accenture.
I’m sure a lot of you are aware, but if not, London is a damn expensive place to live! Drinks are expensive, eating out is pricey, travel is extortionate and house prices have skyrocketed. Coming from a working-class background, it’s difficult to depend on my parents to support me from a financial standpoint (heck, it’s the other way around most of the time). That’s why over the years, I’ve had to figure out how to get the maximum bang for my buck and live my best life on a budget!
Having said that, I’m hoping to post here, give a glimpse into my #life and share my #experiences with the rest of the world, and hopefully help others take advantage of the tips and tricks I’ve learned in life. It wouldn’t be a bad thing either if #Steemit helped me earn some extra #money on the side to help with the mortgage deposit fund!
I look forward to interacting with you all watching the #Steem platform continue to evolve over time!

Hi and welcome here! When I started on steemit, my biggest problem was to find interesting people to interact with. So, to help newcomers getting started I created a directory with other interesting and or talented steemians to follow or interact with.

Hey - thanks for the comment! Sorry if this is a novice question, but when you say "vote for a witness" what does that mean exactly! Thanks in advance!
The Steem blockchain requires a set of people to create blocks and uses a consensus mechanism called delegated proof of stake, or DPOS. The community elects 'witnesses' to act as the network's block producers and governance body. There are 20 full-time witnesses, producing a block every 63-second round. A 21st position is shared by the backup witnesses, who are scheduled proportionally to the amount of stake-weighted community approval they have. Witnesses are compensated with Steem Power for each block they create. So in other Words
Witnesses make sure there are blocks produced on the chain. They ( we as @blockbrothers )
That way we all can benefit from the steemit blockchain. To make sure it stays that way everybody get 30 votes , and we are a witness and thats why we educate people about this.
But if its to much for now a proxy can be set you dont gave to vote, we do it for ya.
Britt
Thanks for the detailed explanation. One of the reasons I love Steemit already, everybody willing to provide such in depth help to the minnows of the community! If only the rest of the world was like this too...
If only, ...... good luck steeming

Hello and welcome to Steemit sincerelyark, receive a vote to support you. I invite you to read my guide about Steemit: https://tinyurl.com/BasicSteemitGuide
Thanks, I very much appreciate both the vote and the guide! One question that I have which I couldn't see on the guide (and apologies if I've missed it), but I came across the terms "MV" and "Vests", can you please elaborate on what those are? Thanks in advance!
Hello, Vests (Vesting shares) is is another unit to handle the STEEM POWER, It is used when delegating SP, MV is Mega Vests. Clic here https://steemd.com/@sincerelyark to see your values.
I do not think it advisable to include so many things in a basic guide
