I’ve noticed a lot here recently in the DTube Discord server that I’m having to explain this new concept called an STU. So let’s simplify my life (and yours) by explaining what the actual heck is an STU and how you can easily calculate it.
What is an STU?
When you look at your Steemit post, there’s a number there for how much your post is worth. For the longest time people didn’t know if that was USD, Steem, Steem Backed Dollars (SBD), or something else entirely. Thanks to the hard work of @dragosroua, @geekorner, and @penguinpablo, we now know that this value is based on the underlying VESTS that Steem uses for Storage value. To make this a bit easier, they came up with a term to more easily describe this payout value dubbed a Steem Token Units or STU.
Thank you guys so much for the support of the #Minnows4Harvey charity post I did a week ago! I raised $9.05, $7.09 of which went to me for donations. The other $1.95 went to Curators who aren’t required to but it would be nice for them to donate their earnings also.
Final Amounts
I received 3.546 SBD and 2.459 STEEM POWER from the post so not all of the $7.09 will be able to go to charity sadly cause some of it is in Steem Power which will take too long to power down. This means a total of around $3.50 to donate.
In case you missed it, Texas in the US has been wrecked by Hurricane Harvey and many people have lost homes and died.

My name is Brandon Giesing, I run a YouTube/Vidme channel called CosiCast where I make edits/mashups of various things from anime to games. I also do a lot of stuff in the Beermoney and Bitcoin communities so when I found out about this, I just had to join. (Special Thanks to @GamerPool / @btcvenom for telling me about this on the /r/Beermoney Discord, go check them out!)
I hope to be sharing a lot of stuff here (including videos from CosiCast over on DTube!) in the future so if you like anime, games, money, bitcoin, and technology, you’ll find stuff about all of those here. In the meanwhile, you can also check me out at my website (where I have a Beermoney guide), CosiCast, Twitter, Tumblr, and many more.
