Hey Cody - glad to see you here!! I miss everyone in DT. I should drop in to say hi one of these days.
One thing to know is converting SBD to STEEM is not the only option. If you would rather have STEEM, you can trade on the internal market. This is a real-time trade at whatever the current market price is, so you don't need to wait 3.5 days. You also get a much better deal under current market conditions since SBD is currently worth more than a dollar.
If you have any more questions just let me know. I'm happy to help :)
