Curation rewards : 0.950
Starting HSBIDAO balance: 701.034
Current HSBIDAO balance: 703.364
703.364-701.034= 2.33 x0.49- 1.141 HP equivalnet
As you can see 1.141 is higher than .950 meaning yet again HSBIDAO tokens are pulling a head.
Overall it seems that the HSBIDAO tokens are earning more consistently when compared to curation; there is also the factor that HSBIDAO tokens do not earn the HIVE interest that HP does. However even when accounting for that difference so far, overall, HSBIDAO does earn slightly more. I haven't done an exact average % wise but it does seem to be over 10% difference at least in the past month.
I earned 3.071 HP in author rewards so I purchased 6.26 HSBIDAO to even out the balances. I was able to purchase this for less than 0.49. I will be using the 0.49 number throughout the experiment to keep things as even as possible. The price fluctuates. Sometimes it costs slightly above that number Other times I get lucky and it's slightly below.
New starting HSBIDAO balance : 709.624
If folks wanted to do this experiment and are on a budget/don't have any swap.hive to buy HSBIDAO every week, you could in theory convert the HBD form post earnings and that should cover it for the most part. I have swap.hive on hand and do not need to do this but if funds were tight that's what I would do. I would considering powering down the amount needed as well. But I'd start with converting HBD rather than powering down-just a personal preference.
