I have decided to start posting a weekly update on my progress toward my 2023 goals here on Hive. It helps me stay on track and I can realize if I am behind on a goal at any point in time. I am still ahead or on track for all my goals. My HBD goal is pretty much set and I have a lot more leeway in LEO due to my April LPUD. If things keep up as I am right now, then the HP goal shouldn't be an issue. It's also the 15th so it's time for LEO power up day as well.
Progress
Above are statistics that I have gotten from HiveStats. This week was about the same as the previous week.
HP
I got about more than last week with 65 HP earned throughout the week. I am checking this through the difference between the two endpoints on the graph on Hivestats. My author rewards are slightly up from last week and my curation is about the same. My goal for curation is to just make sure that my voting power is never full. I was able to use up most of my voting power without any issues and I have changed some of my voting habits. It's been working out fine so far and my voting power hasn't overfilled.
HBD
I earned 21 HBD last week, which was the same as last week. I plan on using these earnings in Splinterlands to purchase cards but the price of HBD is below the peg. So I plan on waiting till later to buy those credits.
LEO Power
I earned 43 LEO last week and this is lower than last week. I still haven't finished the post-game for Trails into Reverie so I haven't gone back to threads just yet. I do plan on going back there eventually and this is before I powered up for LPUD.
LPUD
The requirements for participating to get rewards are below. I am currently at 6,500 LEO staked so I qualify for this. Even if you don't qualify this time around, I think it's still a nice thing to participate in because there are some unofficial prizes. All of this comes from the Leo Power Up Day Post and there is no post for this month so I will base it on the previous LPUD. Just make sure to use the #LPUD tag.
- Your total Leo Power (on the 15th) must be less than 25k.
- You must power up at least 150 Leo on July 15.
- You must not have powered down Leo since January 15.
- Make a post Leo Finance about LPUD (A Thread is not enough). Posts might get a visit from leo.voter!
Feel free to read this post if you want to see the entire list of possible delegations (over 200k LEO power). I didn't win any delegations last time around so I still qualify for that bad luck prize if I am lucky.
One thing to note is that they have made some changes and anyone who powers up at least 50 LEO can get a chance at the smaller delegations. Check the post linked above to see what is available. This means that people can get a chance at earning a delegation even if they don't have the 150 LEO because LEO price has gone up quite a bit since LPUD started.
As a bonus, there is also a LPUD badge on Hivebuzz. As of writing this post, there are still 23 hours before the event ends.
LEO Power Up
I decided to power up 200 LEO and this is exactly the amount that I need each month to reach my goal. I don't plan on changing that to anything lower just in case the ad buybacks kick in because I want to power up at least 150 LEO each LPUD to participate in LPUD and have a chance at those delegations.
Conclusion
It's been a week since my last update and I like my progress so far. My HBD goal is still the furthest ahead and LEO is far ahead of where I need at this point. I am not worried about my HP goal either because it is ahead of my LEO power goal now. When my HP reaches the goal, I will extend the goal but I will see how much time is left before I decide to make that change. I could still suffer if I slack off though. My HBD is pretty much set if I collect my interest so I plan to use that HBD elsewhere. I want to be more competitive in Splinterland so my extra HBD is going towards that right now. I also powered up some LEO for LPUD
Do you have any goals for 2023? What is the progress towards your own goals?
