#My Hive Goals - One More Goal Has Been Achieved

Success.png

This was a week of contrast. Maybe I can even say extremes...lol.

We had a great weekend, going for walks on two beautiful beaches, and then also paid a visit to the Durban Botanical Gardens.

Monday was quite a normal day with nothing out of the ordinary.

But then on Tuesday our youngest daughter got bitten by a dog and our whole day was turned upside down.

I would like to thank everybody for their good wishes and prayers for my daughter. We appreciate it more than words can tell.

She went for a check-up and another injection yesterday, and they are happy with her recovery. We have nothing to be concerned about, although she has been told again, with her being pregnant, that she must come in as soon as she doesn't feel well.

Anyhow, Wednesday was a great day and I got some awesome responses to the photos I posted in a post about our beach walks.

Thursday...I was stuck for hours without electricity...lol. Couldn't do anything until I realized...this is the ideal time to read up about photography in a book my daughter gave me to read.

Today...back to normal again...

So, up, down, up, down...lol. But checking my stats this morning I noticed something I might consider changing. Not so much doing something else, but doing what I do now...just a bit differently.

But let me check it out properly and I'll tell you more about it next week...

For now, let's see what progress I've made with #myhive goals over the past week.

1000 Hive Power

I had some nice growth, adding 19.352 HP to my balance.

That took my balance up to 397.442 HP.

04 - HP Goal.JPG

I am getting further ahead of schedule and I am about 2 HP away from my target for the end of November 2021.

With my balance currently at 397 HP...

1000 - 397 = 603 to go!

(I've been told that the first 500 HP is the hardest. Well, it's getting into my sights...lol)

5000 CTP (Staked)

I saw a nice increase in the growth of my CTP tokens again this week compared to some of the previous weeks.

I managed to add 71.208 CTP tokens to my staked balance compared to last week's 54.

05 - CTP Goal.JPG

I am about 72 CTP tokens away from achieving my goal for this year. I am pretty sure I can make it within this month, which will mean achieving my goal 2 months ahead of schedule.

5000 - 4927.846 = 72.154 to go!

250 POB Staked (Goal Achieved)

I have added 40 POB to my staked balance which took well over my goal for the year.

06 - POB Goal.JPG

250 Alive (Staked)

I have added another 21.604 Alive tokens to my staked balance.

07 - Alive Goal.JPG

With my balance now at 201.628 Alive tokens staked, I managed to pass my target for October and I am now well on my way working towards my target for November.

To achieve my goal for the year...

250 - 201 = 49 to go!

Other Projects and Targets.

The goal is to keep consistency in my posting and commenting. So far everything is going according to plan.

08 - Post and Comment Stats.JPG

09 - Post and Comment Graph.png

Conclusion.

I still have two goals that I need to achieve this year. So far it looks very promising that I most likely will be successful in achieving all my goals for this year.

According to the stats I follow, I might see a slight dip again in CTP income if it is measured against this past week. But the income from both my POB tokens and Alive tokens might actually be better.

Let's wait and see.

At the moment I am also starting to look at goals that are not exactly on the blockchain, but it is definitely relevant to the blockchain.

I want to learn how to improve my skills both in creating content as well as in the area of photography.

As in any business...if you see an area that is getting good results, you need to do some research, do some studying, or just plainly find out what you need to do to not only ensure growth but also improve or boost your growth in that area.

So, that is where I stand at the moment and where my thinking is headed for the future in mind.

Thank you for reading my post.

Let us know how you are making progress on your goals. I look forward to reading about your successes and plans for the future.

My fear of dogs just increased a whole lot, I hope she is fine and nothing goes wrong.

I also love how accountable you are with your goals, it makes them more achievable and I hope you do achieve the goals you have.

Reading your article, I am thinking of buying some hive in the market to power up. At least I am trying to build my account for my benefits and the whole Community. Does it mean it would be easier to accumulate more Hive power when we crossed the 500 HP bridge?

Thank God your daughter is feeling better now.

I use 50% of some of my Hive tokens which I earn every week to buy Hive and boost my Hive income.

I was informed by @invest4free in the comments of my previous goals update that "the first 500 hive power is a lot harder to get than the next 500 hive power". I added the link to that post here just so if you want to see exactly what he said, you can find the post and just scroll down in the comments until you find his comment.

I always put a high value on his advice. He explains it very well and you can pay attention to what he says!

Yes, we are very grateful for my daughter's recovery so far, thank you very much!

Thank you for your comment, @princessbusayo. I do appreciate it.

And thank you to @dreemport for sending you here!

Thanks for the mention! I hadn’t read your post, but good to read that your daughter is doing well.

The 500 number is a bit arbitrary, but above 500ish you’ll find that the curation rewards start to help the growth of your account. Above 1000 hive power even more ofcourse etc etc.

Especially if you make sure to optimize your votes a bit. @achim03 had mentioned regularly that it is important to upvote with at least 100 hive power and preferably at least 200 hive power. For an account with 500 hive power this means that your upvote should be at least 20% when your vote power is at 100%.

The reason for it is that otherwise you run the chance that your upvote is too small for payout, which causes it to be lost.

My vote power is usually around 80% and I vote with about 600 hive power, so my minimum upvote percentage should be 100/ (6000,80) = 20%. If I want to give 200 hive power upvotes, then I should make it 200/ (6000,80) = 40%. So I went with the middle of the road approach and set it to 30% for the curation trails I follow.

This is a very important point that a lot of people ignore. Under 100 HP upvote, it will be just dust and there won't be any curation rewards attached to the upvote.

Wow! I just realize how much I still have to learn. one tends to try and figure out about the Hive-Engine tokens while you need to start paying more attention to stuff like this.

I seriously need to learn more about what you are talking about here and get my head around it.

Thank you for this thorough explanation. I need to look at this carefully!

No worries, you’ll get there. At low hive power it isn’t that important, as the hive engine tokens don’t have this sort of thing and are more important income generator at first.

However now that you start to get a bit more significant hive power, it is good to start optimizing it. Especially now that hive is starting to go up nicely and more people try to get their share of the rewards pool.

I see that you currently have a 2,5% apr on your curation rewards. https://hivestats.io/@jacoalberts

You should be able to get this up to 8-10% with ease if you optimize your votes.

The calculation on hivestats is always a bit off, especially if you power up a lot of hive during the week, as it looks at your current hive power and compares that to your curation rewards, which are based on the hive power you had last week.

Thank you so much for always being willing to share this kind of information.

So, I need to get my apr up by looking at optimizing my votes.

Is it viable for me to keep my upvotes on 100% where I am now? Or should I start lowering my percentage?

You’re welcome!

I saw your vote value is around 90%. Let’s say you want to upvote with 200 hive power, then the calculation is 200/ (400*0,9) = 55%.

So I guess you could easily do a 50% vote from now on and you’ll see your hive curation rewards go up.

You had an amazing week. I'm sorry to hear of your daughter's situation. People should really learn how to tame their beast.

Nothing is as interesting as crushing one's goal. I can see that you're doing just that. Well done.

I love reading of people's achievement on the blockchain because it always inspires me to do more for myself.

Thanks to @dreemport for bringing me here.

🥺 Didn't know about what happened to your daughter, maybe I missed that post... Glad to know that she's getting better now.

I read your Wednesday walk post and it was superb, I loved the pictures a lot.

Did you say you did some readings about photography? Now, that's going to be cool for your next photography post 😃 can't wait to read what's next.

Your goals are all achievable and I can see a lot of progress from what I saw the last time, continue being consistent with it sir and I wish you success in it.
