SteemToolbar - Google Chrome Extension
<center>http://i.cubeupload.com/nXas2D.jpg</center>

**SteemToolbar** is a Google Chrome extension that will help you keep an eye on key indicators and allows you to permanently monitor these values while browsing the Steemit.com website.

> SteemToolbar was initially introduced under the name “SteemitToolbar”. But per Steemit inc. request, I renamed it to SteemToolbar to comply with name usage permission. The **Steem** name is free to use whereas **Steemit** is the property of Steemit inc. 
This Google Chrome Extension is my own work and is not released, endorsed, or reviewed by Steemit inc.


### 1. Setup

The extension is available [here on the Chrome Webstore](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/steemit-toolbar/kpkmlplakmoeoagdhddihcnhcleoagne)

Click on the “add to chrome” button

Click on the “Add extension” button.

> For your information, the only data the **SteemToolbar** will read in your browser is the URL of the active tab. If the site address matches “https://steemit.com”, then the extension will activate itself and displays the **SteemToolbar**.

Once installed, the **SteemToolbar** extension will appear as a small button on the right of your address bar. If you click on it, a configuration window will popup.

### 2. Configuration

#### 2.1 Configure your account<br>

After installing the extension, **SteemToolbar** will not display any Voting Power. You need to configure your account. To do this, click on the extension icon.

**SteemToolbar** displays your reputation with 2 decimals and allows you to better know how far you are from your next level. This is especially useful for high reputation users

If you made a mistake when entering your account name, **SteemToolbar** won’t be able to retrieve your account information from the blockchain and will display an “Unknown User” error message.

You can choose which values to display in the **SteemToolbar** by checking or unchecking each of them. The **SteemToolbar** will be automatically updated according to your choice.

**Voting power**
 Display your account’s current voting power. This value is updated every 3 seconds and its color will change depending on the voting power you left.
- green if your VP is greater than 80
- orange if your VP is greater than 60
- red if your VP is lower than 60


**STEEM**
Display last average market price of the STEEM token. The price is taken from several exchanges and averaged.

**STEEM DOLLARS**
Display last average market price of the SBD token. The price is taken from several exchanges and averaged.

#### 2.3 Steemit and Golos compatible

[Golos](https://golos.io) is the Russian speaking brother of Steemit. This new feature is useful for people having an account on both Steemit and Golos.

You can now choose to display GOLOS and GBG token values as well.
Moreover, the extension will also work when browsing golos.io and display the voting power of your **Golos** account.

##### 2.4 Configure your currency<br>

When showing STEEM, SBD, GOLOS or GBG value, **SteemToolbar** can convert it to several currencies. Select the one that best fit your need and the display will automatically be updated.

You can display token values in :
* Bitcoin (BTC)
* Chinese Yuan (CNY)
* Korean Won (KRW)
* Euro (EUR)
* Russian Rouble (RUB)
* US Dollar (USD)

#### 2.5 Configure the price variation<br>

http://i.cubeupload.com/55NQgY.png

**SteemToolbar** will also show the price variation for the tokens you have chosen in relation to the associated currency. The comparison can be made on different time gap.

For example, if you choose 30 min, **SteemToolbar** will show the difference between the current price and the one 30 minutes ago. 
If the new price is greater or equal than previously, the ratio will be displayed in green
If the new price is lower than previously, the ratio will be displayed in red


When you’re done configuring SteemToolbar, simply click outside the popup window. Your configuration will be automatically saved.

### 3. New features

**SteemToolbar** localization has been implemented and it supports the following languages: 

* English (this will the default language if you browser's language is not supported)

#### 3.2 Jump to exchange

**SteemToolbar** allows you to quick jump  to the Bittrex exchange from any token displayed on the toolbar. Click on a token, and **SteemToolbar** will open a new tab in your browser with the related token market on Bittrex.

A quick and easy we to have a detailed overview of your favorite token on the market.

### 4. The Toolbar into action<br>

At the time of the screenshot, my voting power was going low and displayed in orange.
