I have a friend who doesn't wanna write anymore. So he delegated all of his Steem Power to 1 of our team member for a fee. He promised to not look at his steem account for awhile, and also gave me his posting key to help upvote valuable posts as partly sponsoring #cn-malaysia.
At first, I pay him with Steem. But then after 2 months, I seen this Steem I paid him still sitting there do nothing. I gave him a call and asked him to power up, so his upvote will be useful despite he's not physically present during each upvote. Rather than Steem sitting at the account serve absolutely no purpose, atleast converted to Steem Power, his portion of upvote will have a better vesting power. He does it, and told me I could keep the payment and does it one shot towards end of the year. Ofcourse that will be good. But as a Chinese traditional thinking person, I don't like to owe "rental". He's saying that just because he doesn't wanna trouble to login and power up every month. I thought of it and decided to give it a try, try to power up for him directly, and it works. Below are my screenshot and walkthrough in case if you need to use this function.
First, go to wallet
Click on the Steem drop down and select Power Up
A script will pop up as usual. Select ADCANCED
Now you can change the beneficiary instead of self, put the person ID you wished to send to, followed by amount. Do check on the amount again. This is not revisable once transaction completed. An extra zero or two will make you cry for a very long time. If you choose to make such mistake, pls also make another mistake by putting my ID in the beneficiary column. Thanks in advance.
After which, you need to key in your WIF in order to execute the transaction
Transaction in progress
Transaction completed! Congratulations
Just to double confirm, I will normally check on beneficiary account to confirm my "payment" went through, and capture a screenshot and message him personally.
So, here you go. A simple guide to powering up for other people. Some may ask, why take the trouble? Might as well just send Steem or SBD? Well, there's no absolute answer to this. To me, having Steem power is long term commitment. Atleast the SP going out is not going to be liquidated/cash out immediately. Atleast not until 13 weeks of power down process.
Have fun
