How many curation accounts are there?
Part of the Great Little Dragons reason for being is to check out different ways to get income on tokens. Locking Hive and delegating is one of the easiest ways to make extra tokens.
However, knowing who to delegate to is a real challenge. Currently this community has ten different accounts which delegate to ten different projects so we can reliably check out which project give the best return.
It should probably be expanded to twelve accounts because right now two notable mentions are not on the list.
Then again this list is only for those curation accounts which pay out in HIVE so I guess 
Looking at 10 different delegations
Notice anything?
From a low of 2.92% to a high of 8.55% there is a wide variety of returns between accounts. Also notice that distrubition frequency varies lot also. Some area weekly. Some are daily. Some like OCDB have more than one distribution every day!
Also interesting is that payments can vary over time. The chart below has payouts ranked from inception but also based only on the last payment.
One payment can change viewpoints
Look at amazing drinks. It made an outsized payment last time which works out to 20% but when looked over the months 8.55%. That's still the best of the group but if you only look at one payout it makes a difference.
Others like scifimultiverse look bad from being at the bottom of the heap on the multi month list but the current 5.63% actually looks pretty reasonable.
Samething with actifit. the 3.51% historic looks pretty anaemic but the recent 5.44% isn't stellar but still much improved.
The outlier
The account 
So, for now I'll look at 
- Total delegation 3410HP
- Last 4 distributions : 9.516 + 8.518 + 9.057 + 8.616 = 35.709
- Average distribution : 8.927 HP / week
What is the percent return?
(8.927HP/week * 52 weeks)/3410 HP * 100% = 13.6%
Support the community or your wallet?
There remains the tough question:
Support the community?
OR
Support your wallet?
If you happen to be supporting the 
However if you are an Actifit user like I am? Supporting the Actifit community getting 3.5-5.4% instead of taking the HELIOS payout of 13.6% is a tough call.
In the end? Totally up to the Hive user to decide which is more important.
And a side note.
Just for fun there is something else to look at. Did you notice that the HP delegated by each account is a weird number?
306.296 for stonegale.gld
101.876 for ocdb.gld
Here is something that people miss. Hive quietly gives interest on every staked HP. Those accounts started out at 300HP and 100HP respectively. While they were making money from their curation effort they were also earning 3% return just by sitting on HIVE.
That 13.6% return from funds delegated to
Where else would you get 16.6% interest?
Anyways that's my thought for now about keeping an eye on delegation returns. You get an idea of the return from looking at the last distribution but get a better view of things from looking at the long term distribution.
Do you happen to know any other communities that should be added to the list? Ones that pay out in HIVE? I would love to hear about them so I can make a more comprehensive list for the community.
Also many delegations pay out in tribe tokens like 
Final note: 
Thanks for taking a peek.
