This is a short sum-up table with the state of my goals in easier TLDR form. The table has only a general overview, with details expanded in the post.
| Current State/Other Selection Criterion | Goals Matching the Criterion |
|---|---|
| Ongoing | 5 (HBD Savings Bull Market End Goal, Posting & Commenting Goal, LEO Staking, Increase Grain PP, HIVE Purchased Below 20c) |
| Main Goals | 3 (52-Week HBD Savings Challenge, Posting & Commenting Goal, Land Plots Unlocked) |
| Goals | 4 (ZING Multiplier, LEO Staking, Increase Grain PP, new: HIVE Purchased Below 20c) |
| Main Goals Completed | 1 (Land Plots Unlocked) |
| Goals Completed | 1 (ZING Multiplier) |
| Main Goals Replaced | 1 (52-Week HBD Savings Challenge -> HBD Savings Bull Market End Goal [replaced after week 33 of the challenge]) |
I include a link to the initial goal-setting post for 2024, for reference, if needed.
HBD in Savings Bull Market End Goal: 5,000 HBD
This multi-year goal morphed from what previously was the 52-week HBD Savings challenge, which was stopped.
As I mentioned at the beginning of this new goal, this is a longer term goal and I don't expect regular pushes toward the target, but rather no or low activity for most of the time, and bursts of HBD added in short time spans later on.
There is no evolution compared to last week, and that's normal:
NEW: HIVE Purchased Below 20c
The elimination of the weekly push toward the HBD challenge (and replacing it with a longer term goal), allowed me the flexibility to redirect the funds I used weekly for that challenge to another (temporary) goal, which is more suitable for the market situation.
Therefore, this is my new goal, which is HIVE oriented this time:
- Buy at least 50 HIVE every week while the price of HIVE is below 20 cents
I started it in full force last week with 217.569 HIVE purchased. To that I added 50.005 HIVE today, so a total of 267.574 HIVE.
Posting & Commenting Goal
I haven't missed a daily post this year yet. Reached 1886 posts published, with 119 left to hit the target in 2024. That puts the progress at 66% where 63.46% 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 83rd edition of the weekly roundup which debuted at the beginning of 2023.
I also started the week with 19,942 comments made. Ended the week with 20014 which means I made 72 comments last week, which is way below the weekly average needed to reach the comments target by the end of the year. At least I crossed the 20k comments made threshold, which is a pretty impressive milestone.
I currently need an average of 105 comments weekly to reach the comments target by the end of the year. Looks like I'll miss this target. The activity is low on Hive, in general, and I don't feel motivated to push harder on my comments.
LEO Staked
My LEO stake grew to 24,600 LP after the LPUD, with 3k delegated to one of the winners of the LPUD prizes. I started using liquid LEO to pair them with LBI in that new diesel pool. I'll have to decide how much of the LBI I want in the pool. I already have 1% of the pool without throwing much in there.
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?
Started previous week at 357,615 PP. Today's number is 358,183 PP. That's +568 PP, which is well below my needed average (I expect a bigger jump next week as I switched a few natural plots from Research to Grain). I need +2470 PP weekly to complete this goal until mid-December (my deadline is end of year, but I chose mid-December to push myself a bit).
The major bottleneck for me here is and has always been for land staked DEC.
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, 99 plots are productive out of 100, with 1 still under construction (still clearing). No plots became productive this 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 27,521.
This was the final situation when the goal was achieved, I won't keep updating it:
