| Main Goals | 3 (52-Week HBD Savings Challenge, Posting & Commenting Goal, Land Plots Unlocked) |
| Goals | 3 (ZING Multiplier, LEO Staking, new: Increase Grain PP) |
| Main Goals Completed | 1 (Land Plots Unlocked) |
| Goals Completed | 1 (ZING Multiplier) |
I include a link to the initial goal-setting post for 2024, for reference, if needed.
52-Week HBD Savings Challenge
A 52-week challenge following the popular model starts slowly and becomes increasingly more difficult with every passing week. The challenge is not at the beginning but at the end. That's why, we can use the easy start to prepare for the tougher weeks ahead.
In my case, I started with 1 HBD in week 1. This is also the step that increases the amount I need to save every week. The rule is, in my case: I need to add to savings the amount of HBD per week equal to the week number in the challenge. That means, in week 52 I'll need to save 52 HBD.
We are in the 23rd week of the 52-week HBD challenge. That means I added 23 HBD to the savings for this particular goal, and reached 276 HBD, without counting the accrued interest.
Here's how things look right now:
Note: You can see there is already a small discrepancy in the totals between the spreadsheet and what is in the wallet. That is because of some approximations and easy calculations in the spreadsheet.
The interest payment came in for what I have in my 52-week HBD savings challenge account:
Nothing spectacular yet, but they add up.
I needed to use 4 HBD from my reserves to reach the necessary 23 HBD this week.
Posting & Commenting Goal
I haven't missed a daily post this year yet. Reached 1809 posts published, with 196 left to hit the target in 2024. That puts the progress at 44% where 42.32% was needed to be in the green.
Here's the situation so far:
I haven't missed any edition of Week through Adrian's Lenses in 2024 either, and I mention this since it's also part of my posting goal. Overall, I reached the 73rd edition of the weekly roundup which debuted at the beginning of 2023.
I also started the week with 19,041 comments made. Ended the week with 19125, which means I made 84 comments last week, which is below the weekly average needed to reach the comments target by the end of the year.
I slow week on the comments made side. I had a very busy week in real life which might continue similarly at least in part, this week. We'll see if I have the energy to be around the average this week.
I currently need an average of 96 comments weekly to reach the comments target by the end of the year.
LEO Staked
My LEO stake remained at 24,000 LP, with 3k delegated to one of the winners of the previous LPUD draw. I tried to add another batch of LEO to the LEO-CACAO pool yesterday, but there was an issue which left my position funded only with the LEO tokens and doesn't accept CACAO for the other side yet...
Here's the current situation:
If I participate in the future LPUDs as before, with 200 LEO power-ups, and nothing else staked throughout the months, this goal should be completed in October.
Splinterlands: Increase Grain PP to 400,000
Goal started in week 19.
What's the progress so far?
The guideline to be in the green is now at 9.09%, moving at a rate of 3.03% per week.
I staked another 10k DEC to land which allowed me to add another 10k energy card to one of the plots instead of an existing lower energy and low PP card. That added about 1.5k to the total grain PP.
Land Plots Unlocked - Completed
Goal completed in Week 18, with the following situation at the time:
73 plots were productive and 27 were still under construction.
Currently, 82 plots are productive out of 100, with 18 still under construction (still clearing). No change compared to the previous week.
ZING Multiplier - Completed
Goal completed in week 10 with 25,203 ZING.
Since then, I slowly grew my stash from staking rewards only. Waiting for sales.
My ZING holdings are now at 26,375.
This was the final situation when the goal was achieved, I won't keep updating it:
