My, my, my... How time passes so quickly... I wanted to post an update on a weekly basis and I have already missed two weeks. For me, it just ain't that easy or I just don't make the time in my schedule to do it.
But then again that is a topic for another story.
Let's get straight to the update and associated numbers:
Primary 2026 Goal
My primary 2026 Goal will be to reach 5,000 HP and I started with 4,192 HP. This will be my first step toward reaching Hive Dolphin status.
The plan for the year is to increase my Hive Power by 808 HP.
Secondary 2026 Goal
My secondary goal is to increase my SPS staking in Splinterlands by 18,500 SPS. I had 74,286.813 staked SPS at the beginning of the year. The increased Staked SPS should help me move up in the SPS Validator ranking. I started out this year in 245 rank.
Primary Goal Progress
Now let's check my progress toward my primary goal.
As of today, I have 4,272.801 Hive Power. This is an increase of 80.8 Hive Power since beginning of year.
% of days gone from year -
50 / 365 = 0.137
(Jan 31 days + Feb 19 days)
so 13.7 % of the year has past
% of HP toward goal -
80.8 / 808 = 0.1
so 10.0 % of progress toward my Hive Power primary goal
A week is approx. 1.9% of the year, so I would need to progress that much or add 15.3 Hive Power to my balance each week. Since I had not been focusing on posting for the last two weeks, I have fallen behind. This is all on me and now I must make amends.
Secondary Goal Progress
Now let's check my progress toward my secondary goal. Just so you know my primary Splinterlands gaming account name is darmstrong
As of today, I have 75,319.174 Staked SPS. This is an increase of 1,032.361 Staked SPS from the beginning of the year. Not much of a start but it is still the beginning of the year and there is quite a long way to go.
% of days gone from year -
50 / 365 = 0.137
(Jan 31 days + Feb 19 days)
so 13.7 % of the year has past
% of Staked SPS toward goal -
1,032.361 / 18,500 = 0.055
so 5.5 % of progress toward my Staked SPS Secondary goal
A week is approx. 1.9% of the year, so I would need to progress that much or add 351.5 Staked SPS to my balance each week. I am only increasing by about half as much as I should be increasing toward my goal. Not good.
But some good news was that the APR increased to 7.33%. That will provide a few more SPS to accumulate toward my goal.
When I checked my ranking, I had fallen one position. I am now ranked 246th.
This is the post that I shared with my beginning of the year post:
