Hey, welcome to Steemit!
You may be the first steemer I've met that was introduced through the exchanges. Although, I am sure there are many.
**I'm @markrmorrisjr, I work with a lot of new users. If you haven't yet you're probably going to be dealing with some bandwidth issues. I just wrote an article on how to overcome it herefollow me and @dolphinschool for lots of free training on how to get started!
Hey Mark! Thanks for the heads up! I was not even aware of the issue. I'm still reading articles like yours and docs. Sounds pretty bad, the way you describe it...
Well, it can be. If you have a way to invest, even a small amount in steem, it's to your advantage. But, renting a delegation of SP is cheaper than buying it. It's only a short term solution, however. Once I got past 60 SP, I was able to put up seven posts with that account in a row today, as an experiment. (that series you were linked to) so, that's about $240 worth of steem. Let me know if you need any help with anything. I'm on the platform most days.
