How to convert steem to USDT,BTC or TRX without KYC

Joe is sitting in a transit lounge waiting to board a flight, ready to embark on a journey. As he waits for his journey to begin his phone beeps and a message pops up. He realizes that he has to make a quick crypto payment for some freelance work.
Time is limited as his flight has been announced. He has to send out the crypto before he boards the plane.

Joe's dilemma

• Joe is on a public Wi-Fi and not comfortable logging into his crypto exchange logging account.

• He is currently logged in to his steemit account and his steem wallet has sufficient steem which could be the source of funds for the transaction.
  So he could send out steem to his crypto exchange trading account and trade it to BTC or other crypto and withdraw it to the crypto wallet address of the person he wants to pay.

The negatives of this process

• This is a multi step and time consuming process.
• He needs to deal with 2 kinds of fees first the trading fee and second the withdrawl fee.
• The KYC exchange may be tracking his crypto transaction and since he is not too familiar with the freelancer or how and where he would be using the funds so this is not the preferred route for him.

• The steem price is updated promptly as price changes. As I was testing the service the price of steem changed from $0.21 to $0.22 & back to $0.21 and it dynamically changed on the page without having to refresh.
  A two decimal place price display in US$ makes it easy to follow.

steemscan.com/convert conversion options

At the time of writing this post the deposit currency is steem and for withdrawal there are three currency options

• USDT
• BTC &
• TRX

How the conversion works

The currency conversion happens via a simple easy to follow form interface

First you input the amount of steem you want to convert.
The prefilled form showed 20 steem which is approx $4.2 (at the time of writing the post) would give you 3.06948568 USDT
after deducting a fee of 1.04110592 USDT

For BTC transaction it would be more economical to do a larger amount of steem to BTC conversion since there is always a network fee involved.

Suppose you want to convert 100 US$ worth of steem to btc
So that would mean
100/0.21= 476.19 steem (0.21 is the price of steem at the time of writing the post )
So let us take 476 steem ~99.96 $
this would give 96.79097416 USDT

For BTC conversion the amount received would be as follows

To see how much is the base fee for BTC lets bring it back to 20 steem and the base fee is 0.00050458 BTC

If we were to compare this with some of the exchanges which need KYC it is about in the same range.
It may be noted that whenever BTC is sent from one wallet to another there is a network fee involved.
Thus to make the transaction viable it is always advisable to keep the btc transaction amount of a substantial value.

Let us do a quick conversion

To test how the transaction works I am going to carry out a transaction and see how it works

I am going to convert 20 steem to TRX

Exchange as easy as 1,2,3,4

To exchange steem to another crypto which is TRX in this case all that needs to be done is

1. Select the amount of steem to convert
2. Select which crypto pair you want to use I chose TRX
3. Enter the withdrawal address and
4. Click the "Create Order" button.

This takes you to the next page which displays the transaction details

The lower part below the "Proceed Payment" button lists

• Your recipient address
• Rate of steem and
• The expiry time of the order
  Double check these details and you need to make the payment before the order expires.

I clicked on the "Proceed Payment" button to proceed

The next screen looks as follows

This prompts you to login to your steem wallet account for funds transfer

On the next screen you are required to click the "Approve" button.

The next screen displays your transaction id which you can track on steemscan.com

In a short while the TRX arrived at the specified address.

My impressions about steemscan.com/convert

• It is a simple to use service
• It is a quick service and currency conversion happens in a very short time
• The service does not require any KYC documents or verification.
• It works 24X7
• It is available across the globe from anywhere you have internet and can access the site steemscan.com/convert

A few tips for using the service

For BTC conversions one has to be careful that the BTC network fee does not eat into the amount being converted. Here large sums can be converted with ease.
For smaller amounts it is more economical to convert steem to TRX

My Wishlist for steemscan.com/convert

• It would be nice to see more crypto pairs being added to this service .
• Hope to see this transforming into a two way conversion service both to and from steem.
  It would be nice to see Hive as one of the conversion options.
• It would be a dream to have a fiat to crypto gateway that allows buying steem and other crypto with credit/debit card/paypal.
