Delegating Hive Power While Taking A Break (Again)

6 months ago

By the time you are reading this, I might be somewhere else enjoying myself! Haha. Am taking a short break away from Hive, and it's time to delegate my Hive Power out so that I still get some returns while I am not around.

Of course, this isn't the first time I am doing it. The last time I did something similar was in Dec 2023, you can read the post here.

Times have changed, and some projects on Hive have changed as well. So here's my planned delegation! (Will undelegate them when I am back to Hive after approximately 1-2 weeks!)

Account	Additional HP Delegation (1 to 2 weeks)
@liotes.voter	Around 800
@ocdb	100
@bdvoter	100
@leo.voter	100
@splinterboost	100
@blitzzzz	200
@vaynard86	200
Total	Around 1600

I currently already have delegated HP to some of them, so this is an additional delegation, but it would be temporary.

@liotes.voter currently have the bulk of my HP delegation because I have been following them for quite some time (if you look at the dates, it's the earliest!) and I think they have been doing a great job, updating the members weekly, and paying LEN tokens in exchange for the HP delegation on a daily basis. Also, they support good posts within the community.

@ocdb is no stranger to most of us, they have always supported good content and have been very welcoming to new members, including myself.

@bdvoter has been a strong supporter of the Splinterlands weekly posts and I am really grateful for their support week in week out, so am supporting them too!

@leo.voter is also an account that I have been delegating HP to for quite sometime, and I personally have received some support on a few of my posts in the LEO community as well.

@splinterboost is an account that curates Splinterlands-related posts and I am sure everyone who posts something on Splinterlands would have gotten their curation and seen their comments in the post. In exchange from HP delegation, they give Hive in return.

These are some of the projects which I personally feel are worth supporting for the good work that they are doing for the community as well as the returns from HP delegation. Of course, I am sure there are many other projects as well and I am still slowly getting to know them.

I have included two of my friends on Hive, @blitzzzz and @vaynard86, in this list because they have supported me a lot along this journey and I am very grateful to them. So here's just a small little gesture! Use the HP to continue to upvote posts that you like! :)

In case you are wondering there is an estimation for @liotes.voter, I have learnt in my previous round that the amount of HP that one can delegate also depends on Voting Mana, and it's depends what is my Voting Mana at the point of delegation. So while the rest of the 100/200 HP delegations are fixed, this one will vary a little.

The objective of this delegation is to obtain curation returns, and then subsequently convert these returns back to Hive and power up to boost my Hive Power. I think that's a better approach to take when I am away for 1 month instead of letting the HP sit in my account and earn the basic 3% APR.

Finally, I just want to express my appreciation as well as to share my regret that I won't be able to upvote posts during this period for my friends, for people who are on my reading list everyday, for people who are in the PIZZA guild, etc. So appreciate your understanding on this! Hopefully I have a bit more HP after these period and my vote power will be slightly higher when I am back!
