We've updated our site's software (https://blocktrades.us) to improve usability and performance as we scale to increasing numbers of users. Below are some of the new features.
BlockTrades sessions auto-expire now after a few hours
Your BlockTrades session will auto-expire now after a few hours of inactivity (e.g. no mouse clicking, typing, etc). Twenty minutes before the session will expire, a dialog will pop up to warn you of the pending expiration and you can click on it to continue your session.
If you are using a public terminal, we still recommend that you manually logout when you finish your session, or close the page if you're using an unregistered session.
Web site checks for new versions of site and asks user to update if a new version is found
Going forward, our site's code can auto-check for updates to our web site, and will prompt the user in such cases to update to the latest and greatest version of the site. This is mainly useful for users who leave a tab open to our web site for long periods of time.
Increased visibility of the option to backup the password for Steem accounts created on our site
Our Create Steem Account page now highlights the option to download a file containing a copy of the password for the account being created.
Added warning when user tries to send Steem Power to an exchange
Generally it makes no sense for a normal user to send Steem Power to an exchange: they should only be sending Steem or Steem Dollars. The new version of the site will now warn a user if they try to send Steem Power to one of the exchanges known to our system.
Updated to latest stable version of Angular (5.2)
We've updated to the latest version of the Angular programming framework, allowing us to decrease the size of our pages (allows our pages to load slightly faster).
Filled first round of Steem Power delegation pre-orders
We filled the first round of delegation pre-orders. Unless you purchased within an hour or two of this post, your delegation should now be filled. The next round will be filled on the evening of February 16th.
@blocktrades
The SP Delegation is 50% more expensive now. I understand it is market and demand drives prices UP. But it has got way expensive now.
Is there any chance the prices get to normal or the good times has been sealed to the past?
I can't say where the prices will go in the future, of course, as it's primarily set by the market. But at the moment, we're still pre-selling delegations fast enough that we are still unable to even offer immediately purchasable steem delegations, so I don't anticipate any near term price reduction. A lot depends on the price of Steem: if Steem goes up relative to other currencies, then the delegation price will go up relative to those currencies, and vice-versa. So it's also a function of what currency you are buying the delegation with. But if you're buying with Steem, the price is expected to stay constant for now.
Its not about Steem relative to other currencies. If one could buy 90 day delegation of 100 SP for 7 Steem, now it costs 11.5 Steem.
Taking into consideration, that steem power holder gets max 25% from upvotes as curation rewards, current price is not profitable.
The price is probably dictated by voting bots. They make a lot more money using that leased steem power. So at this price, for them it is still profitable.. Unfortunately, for a normal user, who only receives curation rewards, it is not profitable any more to lease..
Actually, someone wrote a post that analyzed people buying the delegations from our site and found that the majority wasn't bots. I upvoted as I found the info interesting, it also had some good data that showed how widely the delegations were being distributed among different users.
That's very good news for the long term value of steem, as the demand for SP is not artificially created by voting services.

Yours in next in line, but it's big enough that we don't have enough to fill it yet. It will fill tomorrow evening.
i dont get any delegation also..
@blocktrades I mistakenly sent 27.5 sbd to u please can u refund? Here is the proof
https://steemit.com/refund/@kingxy/please-refund-my-27-5sbd
Hello @blocktrades, I got message that my delegation is expiring in 48 hours. Although it is expiring on 22.02.2018. Please check what is wrong
@blocktrades
I sent 33 SBD one hour ago , is there a problem why it’s not being sent to the EOS address I sent ?
The additional of the warning before sending SP to an exchange is a great feature. A friend once sent some SP to an exchange. Needless to say, he lost those funds.
I'm happy this feature was added.
And why exactly do you want to flag the post? I wasn't under the impression that I've done anything wrong
Ya, sucks right.
Lol sangat lucu
Thank You, BlockTrades
i have given 40 steem for a lease 3 days ago but dont recive any lease please refund my steems.
Thanks.
every time you open your delegation it is always the time that I don't have any on my wallet lol.. Lucky for those who already receive the sp you delegated to them.
A very useful post for Steemit players. I can not afford to pay this delegate distemely. how can I earn money in steemit to help my family's needs. please enlighten @blocktrades.

I have analysed the sale of Steem Power Delegations. Take a look if you want :)
Good to see that block trades had a smart upgrade. Some times people like me are not able to understand the difference between the steem and steem power and usually do the errors during trading. Now you have created a warning system,that can be helpful.
Also visibility options, new trading ways, auto updates and password brolem are solved.
Hope you do best with this update....
@blocktrades If at this moment I send you an application as soon as it would be, it would not be much SP who would request at the most 50 SP
I am sorry i don't know steemit good , i can mistake with delegation..can you send me back my sbd and doge for sbd? i am sad for my mistake if it don't done please give me a vote.. :(((
WoW, that was a lightening fast sellout.
yes very helpful.. i just created this account on block trades.. slick!!!
I am a newbie here and this is the first time I heard about blocktrades. I am looking forward to find out more!
Feeling like a dumb newbie 😅
Hey blocktrades.. I came here to discuss an issue.. Bitcoin and cryptocutrencies are banned in our country.. If we transfer them to pak it considered illegal.. I love your services.. I have a suggestion.. If you guyz can add paper money like pakistani rupees dollars to your wallet and allow our accounts to coonect them with our local bank accounts.. Then it ll be great favour.. We will be able to transfer our earning directly to our bank accounts from steemit..
Just look into other Coins instead maybe ? Just because they Bannes Bitcoin in your country shouldnt me u cant use other Cryptos. OR whats with VPN sercives ? cant u use Bitcoin id u use a VPN ? Please let me know what exatly your Problem or Wish is and i can think about it and maybe help find a way around that barrier.
amazing post thanks for information @blocktrades
Thank you for the updates @blocktrades
upvoted and resteemed
nice updates indeed
nice
I really like the idea behind the decentralized blocktrades exchange. Do you guys plan on supporting more crypto assets?
my thoughts too.it would be very nice to have much more other cryptos listed.
Nice information,,, forget about expensive,,, this is rule of the game,,, we must "just do it "
Thanks for sharing,,,,
Thanks, glad to see this great project evolves!
that escalated quickly..
(actually I'm amazed that it lasted as long as it did...considering how fast the first part went)
just took the words out of my mouth
lol
Upvote my post block traders i am a good artis

Your post @blocktrades is very useful for the steemians. Upvote my posting let me sting in this Steemit.
Bagus sekali postingan, boleh kah saya bergabung? Bagaimana caranya mohon beri saya arahan. Regards, @elhajary
Network and server issues are the main things that make slow application users even errors, thanks to the improved service of steemit teams.
Yeah I just registered on blocktrades few days ago and I would encourage you too to do so. I think they even added a new feature that delegates steam power for around 90 days at an affordable price. It's totally cool feature
Good day @blocktrades! Was just wondering if this is a bug? Been looking at it for four days now. Hope you could give attention to my comment. A great reaction would be greatly appreciated. More power!
Sometimes you must exchange a . with a ,
Was that the reason ?
What do you mean?
nice post you my friend really like to post you my friends thank you for sharing things that I can learn from you
Hi, I have been attempting to find you on Discord. I just want to express my thanks. You have upvoted a couple of my Steemit Story Chain posts recently. I appreciate your support.
That was probably votes by my wife, I have little time to read as much as I would like to nowadays, but I'll pass on your appreciation.
Well I hope she enjoys it. If she fancies writing a part of the story she is always welcome, it's proven a popular contest which is now in its fifth month. Please do pass on my thanks to your wife.
my god ... help me giving me some SDB .. To get out of this country in crisis ... I would use a lot of SDB ... I am a Venezuelan in crisis
Those delegations go so quick. :D
I know, I was saving to get one but they are gone when I can do it.
I love the frequent updates that you post and the way that you communicate with your followers! More businesses should be so open and honest with their audience. I like the warning on sending Steem Power to an exchange. It can be a little confusing for newbies to tell the difference between Steem, Steem Dollars, and Steem Power, I think. - Ivy-
If you are using a public terminal, we still recommend that you manually logout when you finish your session, or close the page if you're using an unregistered session.
I find @blocktrades an easy to use platform. I mean when I signed up and got my first rewards it was very obvious and easy how to transfer them whenever I needed on blocktrades even if I never heard of it before.Of course some updates are always welcome,great job there guys!
I find it all a little confusing, the steem and steem dollars and the steem power, & all the passcodes and pretty much everything is confusing 🤷🏼♂️
There is a lot to read up on if you're just starting out. As long as steem and SBD are above 1 dollar use 50/50 post payout, not SP. And use your private posting key in most cases if you are just posting. You only need the private active key to move funds around your account. I recommend searching for articles on these topics with the search bar here for whichever topic confuses you and go from there. Good luck.
Good one. Making it more user friendly
Me alegro que las operaciones tomaran esta desicion:)
how to delagate steem power from you

Nice post @blocktrades
Thanks for the upgrades... It feels good to know blockchain got our backs
thank you for posting @blocktrades, this information is very useful especially for myself
it seems that parts are still not working properly for me.
the little red thingy number
doesn't seem to work
also
and
I never HAVE got that part to work.
Otherwise it's doing GREAT.
I got a bunchaton of delegated SP...love it.
Thank you for the post. Pardon my noobness, but why is it unfavorable to send steem power to the exchange over steem or sbd? Is steem power actually tradable?
Cheers.
Steem power isn't tradeable, and exchanges don't have any way to credit you when you deposit Steem Power to them. So if you send Steem Power to them, it's like giving it to them. And they can't even return it quickly if you can get attention from their support team, since they would have to power it down first.
Thanks for the info!
Very usefull post.
