Some of you will know that I have recently worked my way up through the ranks to become a full #thealliance member. It’s been fun so far and the sign up process is very different then the steemsilvergold enrolment. I had to make a few different posts, discord is a must by the looks of it and you must be active. The group seems to very tight as well, I like that and can’t wait until I get used to seeing the same names over and over to start building relationships. Anytime I ask a question on the group's discord server, someone always answers back very quickly with a good answer. One thing I notice is #thealliance has raised the bar a little on everything. Discord is set up very well; all members must be active, post good content and be seen to help each other. I think I need to up my game to remain a member :D

The time has come to buy a ticket for this Mothership everyone is banging on about.
The mothership from I gathers is a group upvoting account. It is set up in a way that it only gives out 100% upvotes meaning 10 upvotes a day. It picks who to upvote on a rational basis. There are 3 options you have to get your ticket. You can 1/delegate 60SP to themothership and keep it there, 2/ you can donate 2SBD every month are 3/ you can delegate 10SP and donate 1 Steem. Delegations are made to @themothership and donations are made to @michaeldavid (TheDocta). I decided to go for the delegation, I can do it once and forget about it plus I have never delegated before so I wonna learn how. I plan to delegate to Stax in the future for a larger amount and this is the perfect 3 birds with 1 stone. Ticket for mothership bought; learn how to delegate and nice screenshots for an interesting post.

How to delegate to the Mothership step by step

The very first thing you need to do is visit this post Next thing to do is sign up an account with steembottracker. This is a 3rd party website that handles your delegation. You will need your steemit user name and steemit ACTIVE private key. This key is found in the permissions part of your steemit wallet. Have you have that done you start out by.....

Clicking this link to steembottracker. You will be brought to this page. Enter your steemit username is the delegator field.

Next enter into the delegatee field ''themothership'' and enter 60 into the amount (sp) field. When you have done that, click delegate.

You will get this pop up asking to confirm the delegation. You can click continue

Here is where you sign into that new Steembottracker account you made in the beginning. You enter in you steemit username and active private key again. Click sign in

BOOM!!! All done. Pretty easy. The hardest part is opening the steembottracker account. We are going to go ahead and confirm it’s gone through ok after

If you click on the transaction ID on the last picture, you are brought to this page which shows your transaction on the blockchain. I don’t know about you but I don’t understand any of that, I wonna see it in black and white.

Here is how we see it in black and white. You go into your steembottracker account and using the tabs along the top, click on ''tools'' and select ''delegation manager''. You will be brought to this page were you can see all your delegation information.

The proof is in the pudding and here it is. The last bit of black and white you need to see.
