I have seen a lot of posts regarding the new updated version of Hivestats lately which is good to see as that means people are using the tool. This is exactly what Hivestats is as it helps you understand your account and the growth through information.
I have to be honest I preferred parts of the old site over the new site and am not complaining as appreciate the efforts made by the leofinance team. The 7 day chart that was in the original version was simple to read straight away in one glance. The new version has extra info so it will just take time getting used to the layout. Not everyone can be happy lol.
What I do like is the most important part being the graph showing your growth as that to me is the key ingredient for anyone on Hive. We all know consistency and staying busy is the main element for success in any venture in life and Hive is no different.
Mapping your progress has never been so easy as now you can just use the graph to stay informed. I can recall many users saying they used to do a manual chart themselves as they obviously took growth seriously and why they are decent sized accounts today.
On Hive we have been fortunate to have a number of tools at our disposal and honestly myself I have only been using Hivestats for the past 18 months. I am a habit former so it is hard to change onto something you are already used to and I am happy I did. All the information you need is here and not forgetting the secondary tokens on Leodex which are just as important to monitor. Hive and it's entire eco system is a package deal when combined adds up into something far bigger than many understand. Think about how big the secondary tokens have become over the last 2 years and how much is in your wallet compared to Hive. Possibly within the next 3- 5 years we will see the secondary token value surpass our Hive wallet values.
Over the last 30 days I have earned 116 Hive or $131 in secondary tokens which no other tool will tell you that. This is important as this is over and above your Hive earnings and shows how well or how badly you are doing. I have no idea if that is average or not as I don't compare against anyone else as this is your growth and what matters most.
The one way you could possibly tweak your growth is by going onto the Leodex site and opening up the rewards page. There you will see a list of your rewards coming in. Look to the far right and you will see 2 blocks, click on the far right one which is the vote multiplier. If you aren't already using it I do recommend this as you are most likely missing out on earning many more secondary tokens. Now you can use Hivestats to see how you progress and with a bit of tweaking your should be able to grow far quicker.
Open the one that looks like a lightning bolt.
Here you can adjust the vote weight by up to 4 x which is beneficial if you are busy in multiple tribes saving your Hive vote but not sacrificing your tribe vote. In this case with Leo I have a 3 x multiplier which basically means if I vote 20% with my Hive power I am actually voting at 60% using my Leo stake. I don't have an alt account and this allows me to vote far more than I normally would be able to with a higher percentage vote in the various tribes.
As I mentioned above Hivestats is very important to understanding your growth and is a site I visit multiple times per day and is constantly open on my laptop.
