# You can now send your POCKET tokens from STEEM to bitshares via @pocketexchange for fee of 1%! https://s26.postimg.org/7sovc12y1/steem-and-bts-pocket.png Last week there was mention of [POCKET is now on Steem and Bitshares!](https://steemit.com/pocket/@virtualgrowth/pocket-is-now-on-steem-and-bitshares) with the idea to take some time to set more things up for this to be possible. You will now be able to exchange your POCKET tokens from the Steem blockchain to the bitshares blockchain by using the @pocketexchange steem(it) and [pocketexchange bitshares](http://stage.cryptofresh.com/u/pocketexchange) accounts. **Please note this is not an automated exchange and is manual so may take time or reminders.** # Sending POCKET to @pocketexchange for POCKET on bitshares NOTE: Leave send comment on this post as pocketexchange does not have a block explorer up and running yet... Should probably have waited until then with forgetting about that detail. So please be sure to leave a message of your transfer as extra confirmation for pocketexchange so that pocketexchange may view its own comments for these transactions. Format: `pocketsend:@,` *NOTE: Remember the comma* To send your (100) POCKET to @pocketexchange type: `pocketsend:100@pocketexchange, memo: bitshares name` and change the number 100 to the amount you wish to send and receive on bitshares. Note there will be a 1% fee for this transaction exchange. Be sure to include your correct bitshares name to be properly credited. # POCKET markets on bitshares ## These will be potential markets on bitshares for the POCKET tokens [POCKET token on bitshares](http://stage.cryptofresh.com/a/POCKET) "No market history yet. - No orders to show." [POCKET / BTS](https://bitshares.org/wallet/#/market/POCKET_BTS/?r=virtual-growth) [POCKET / OPEN.BTC](https://bitshares.org/wallet/#/market/POCKET_OPEN.BTC/?r=virtual-growth) [POCKET / OPEN.SBD](https://bitshares.org/wallet/#/market/POCKET_OPEN.SBD/?r=virtual-growth) [POCKET / OPEN.STEEM](https://bitshares.org/wallet/#/market/POCKET_OPEN.STEEM/?r=virtual-growth) [POCKET / bitUSD](https://bitshares.org/wallet/#/market/POCKET_USD/?r=virtual-growth) Initial issuance of POCKET tokens on bitshares will be from [pocket-issue](http://stage.cryptofresh.com/u/pocket-issue) # Sending POCKET on bitshares to POCKET on steem(it) To send POCKET from bitshares to steem(it) send your POCKET tokens to [`pocketexchange`http://stage.cryptofresh.com/u/pocketexchange] on bitshares and include your steemit username in the `memo field`. https://s26.postimg.org/pcr2bw849/pocketwithdrawal.png `virtual-growth sent 10 POCKET to pocketexchange` memo: `virtualgrowth` pocketexchange: `pocketsend:10@virtualgrowth` `Successful Send of 10` `Sending Account: pocketexchange` `Receiving Account: virtualgrowth` `Fee: 1` Fee of of 1% has been chosen due to @nepd's response of "I'd like to transfer my POCKET to Bitshares please. I'd pay 1% of my tokens." This service is offered by @virtualgrowth as an idea and effort to help establish a market to expand upon the POCKET protocol experiment. Anyone else may offer a similar service once they have tokens that they may exchange. This service may be terminated in the future but will be open and available for some time. The balances of both @pocketexchange accounts on bitshares and steem(it) may be checked and verified where @pocketexchange's balance of POCKET tokens will be relative to the amount of POCKET tokens issued on bitshares with a difference of fees. In time there will be multisig accounts set up to recover these accounts in the event that anything may happen. Minimum amounts for this service may be increased at any time. # Have fun with your POCKET tokens on steem(it) and bitshares! *Lastly this is an alpha experiment, use at your own risk.* Best, http://www.onlinesignature.in/animateText/text785697588.gif
