Converting steem to hive, using beeswap & hive-engine [TUTORIAL]

I have been using @blocktrades for all my transfers so far - recently they stopped supporting steem - so that left me hanging with some steem that is coming from powering down my account there.

Today I will use BeeSwap to transfer some of my steem and I will provide you with a full tutorial.

Step 1: Visit https://beeswap.dcity.io/

---

Step 2: Enter your username

---

(1) Enter your username on the top right and click the little door on the right side
(2) You see your remaining liquid steem at the wallet section

---

Step 3: Type the required amount that you wish to convert

We do not wish to receive STEEMP on S-E, we wish to receive Swap.Steem on Hive Engine (check Step 4)

Please note:

Send STEEM to @hiveswap to receive STEEMP on S-E.
Include MEMO: hive-engine to receive SWAP.STEEM on HIVE-ENGINE.

Also there is a deposit fee: 0.25%

Using Hive Engine

Step 4: Transfer the required amount

I am depositing 50 STEEM and I will receive them in SWAP.STEEM in the Hive Engine

Enter your active key or use keychain (I prefer the first way) and then click on Approve

You see the confirmation by receiving a transaction id

We renew the page (F5) and we see our balance to increase

Step 5: Visit Hive Engine and the HIVEP/SWAP.STEEM pair

Lets go to the HIVEP/SWAP.STEEM pair Link here

---

Step 6: Sell your SWAP.STEEM to HIVEP

Enter the highest bid and the amount of SWAP.STEEM you wish to sell for HIVEP.

Click on SELL

Step 7: Withdrawing to Hive

You enter the desired amount (I entered 40) and you withdraw to Hive by clicking the link

We use hivesigner and we confirm the transaction

You will then receive the amount in your hive wallet

---

Step 8: Liquid Hive

You now have liquid hive in your amount / you can power up or use an exchange to sell it for other cryptocurrency or fiat
