RE: Curation Trails – Are you aware of your up vote value
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Hi Lisa,
I see that you upvote my posts with 6,25% That tells me that you are likely not using the fixed vote percentage, but the scala upvote option.
Since @bradleyarrow is upvoting currently with 25%, you then upvote with 25% of 25%, which is 6,25%.
Because you actually have almost 1000 Hive power, your upvote is usually about 0,001 Hive. But if I were you, I would raise it a little bit and switch to a fixed percentage.
Otherwise if Bradley would switch to 20%, all of a sudden you would upvote with only 5% and then you would waste your upvote.
I see on hivestats.io that your curation apr is only 5,6% which is worse than what my still very new invest4free account gets. Still at least it is not 0,0%. Quite a few people in the voting trail will have much worse percentages.

You want that APR percentage from your curation to be at least 15% with your hive power. This is not just beneficial to you, but also to the people that get upvoted by you.
So do check it out indeed.
What is that APR percentage, and how to improve it? Trying to understand.
It is the annual return on your hive power. If you have 100 hive power and your apr is 3%, then it means that in a year you will earn about 3 hive in curation rewards.
If you get that up to 10%, it means you get 10 hive.
I’ve seen people with 20%+ apr on hive. Mostly bigger accounts that can do lots of small votes, but that are careful to always vote with enough hive power to make sure they get a return on their investment.
Thanks for the explanation, makes it much clearer now.
Now go and get some of those sweet rewards.
I check hivestats.io regularly and I love seeing that percentage go up as I get more hive power.
It is influenced by power ups and downs though. So when you power up a lot of hive, then the percentage will be very low.
The calculation simply looks at your hive power and what curation rewards you got last week. I doesn’t know that just powered up some hive.
Same way if you power down some hive it will show a high apr.
