What is eSteem Surfer 2
It's a desktop client you can use on Windows, Mac or Linux to surf your steem friends feed/trending/hot/etc pages, upvote, comment, read replies, do all the other major Steem functionality in your daily social surfing as well as wallet actions and of course few extras: search, discover different tags, bookmarks, drafts, favorite authors, scheduling posts, etc.
PIN protection
Application start up is protected with PIN code. Your keys are stored locally on your device encrypted. Once you start the app it decrypts your key with your PIN.
Drafts
One of the most used feature let you start composing the post on your Mac or PC and continue on your Mobile on the go or vice versa.
Wallet
You can manage your wallet in a handy and beautiful way with eSteem Surfer. Claim rewards, send and receive Steem and SBD tokens, Power Up or Power Down your Steem Power, lock your funds into the Savings account for additional security and check current Steem/SBD rates.
Points
For now you can just collect eSteem Points for different activities using eSteem Mobile and eSteem Surfer applications. Writing posts and comments, reblog, upvote and even reading your feed is giving you some Points. You can not do anything with them yet but stay tuned and just collect them. They might be used to promote your posts, reward other users or exchange to Steem soon.

Thank you for your review, @tykee! Keep up the good work!
I look forward to every improvement and I am pleasantly surprised every time. I think introducing the points was an excellent idea that will greatly improve everyone's work.
Just switched on my machine and thought to myself to log into my esteem surfer and saw an update notification and I hit it and boom, I saw the points icon. Good work esteem team and I still await to see how these points will be used. I am trusting the esteem team to come up with something brilliant.
Stay tuned 🎵
Looks great!!!
Why not just make a really awesome interface that everyone WANTS to use.
I mean i'm all for gamification but something about this just seems desperate
... but... what are the usages of the Points?
I suppose you are commenting about post, not sure what you mean by desperate, maybe you commenting on top comment?! Usage of points as mentioned in release notes and earlier posts, will be added in next release. We have number of use cases that users love using and how to make sure gamification of the app is unique. We are already seeing improvements in terms of retention and usage, number of users recommended how they want to use their points, so we are considering them as well. I guess you will just have to wait and see 😉
K sounds good
thank you @good-karma for your efforts ;)
we still looking for more updates about esteem points
Well, you’re one step behind on this one.
Partiko has a Points system long ago and their points are already exchangeable.
Posted using Partiko iOS
Every product has their usage and advantages. We are well, many more steps behind Facebook or Instagram, that doesn't mean we will stop.
But in Partiko you can get points by watching videos and I think most Partiko Point whales got their huge stash from referrals.
So I don’t know... maybe it’s less flawed. In Partiko I‘ve been stuck in the 100+ range for a long time, with some users it’s impossible to catch up.
But don’t get me wrong, I like Partiko too, the app is great.
How does that deal with Surfer 🏄 app?
Hoping to be able to redeem them for some STEEM.
