Quickly after the announcement of Hive account@steem-ua, I decided to join this initiative and delegate some of my Steem Power to the program. In return of delegating 100 SP I receive 4 upvotes a week and can track my progress in the user authority score. Now that I'm "enrolled" in the program almost 2.5 months, I thought it was nice to have a look at my progress and what it brought me in rewards.

Progress

When I first got an upvote from Hive account@steem-ua, on September 7th, I was on #45859 (with an UA of 1.161) compared to all other Steemians. As of today I'm on #37067 (with 1.488), an improvement of nearly 9.000 spots.

Return

I was wondering how much the total return has been since I started delegating, but I cannot find a good source for that at the moment. If anyone has a good source of the full history of rewards, let me know!

Looking at the return I got last month is easier, since I can use "good old" steemworld.org and steemreports.com. The past 31 days I received 14.9% of my upvotes/rewards from Hive account@steem-ua. Given the fact I got 19.5 SP in rewards in that period, That compares to 2.9 SP of rewards. When you multiply that with 12 months, the total yearly return should be somewhere in the range of 35 SP. Given that I only delegated 100 SP, I think this is a very good return. Especially when you take into account that you don't have to invest Steem or fiat in the program and you can always get your delegation back in 5 days.
