Hi, I checked my Hivestats and the curation APR is 8%. Is this good or bad? Anyway, there are chances to improve, for sure . 😎
I believe that at the moment you can get about 9.5% max. So 8% is decent enough :-)

It seems Hivestats is not tacking all hive-engine tokens. SPORTS is no more captured there. However, all my hive-engine tokens are doing great with curation returns. The top is ONEUP, followed by POB, then CENT, then LIST.
Yes it seems that hivestats doesn't see the new smart contracts. How much APR do you make with Hive curation?
With HIVE curation, it's 7.9%

That's very decent. Thanks for sharing!

Curation APR... 0%?
From what I see in my history, My curation rewards mostly from comments...🤔 I am lazy to comment on something lately. 🤣
At the moment you have about 211 HP but 140 are delegated out. So you have an effective HP of about 70. You need to vote with at least 100 HP to generate some curation rewards. This explains why you have 0.0% at the moment.
Ah, I see... Nice info Achim :3 Thanks for the explanation 👍

my curation apr is generally 8+, but now it's rebuilding as i recieved a big delegation as prize for a month.
It is really good, as it helps me build my hive and also help others.
Yes I think with the delegation that you got, your numbers on hivestats don't really translate reality.

My PAR is 2.2% and that mainly is because I do not spend enough time curating content. I am just too busy and enjoy playing games and working on other projects. I do make a point to go in once a week and read some articles and give out some votes though.
I think you could easily do about 8% APR. So you miss out about 6% on curation rewards which is about 60$ per year :-). A suggestion could be to follow a curation trail with hive.vote. You could follow for example an account like liotes.voter. You could set that hive.vote sets votes if your voting percentage is above 95%. Like that when voting power is very high, it will give votes to avoid staying at 100%. This still leaves a lot of freedom to do manual voting.
How do I go about doing that? Like I said, curation is something I have always been terrible at
@ph1102 made once a video how to follow a curation trail with hive.vote. Maybe this can help you: https://peakd.com/hive-119826/@ph1102/gwqotach
Cool thank you! I just made some adjustments and we shall see how it works!

My Curation APR is only 5.8%. Unfortunately, I have not been commenting as much as I would have liked lately.
There are various curation trails out there which I assume add to your Curation HP. However, you hear a lot about curation being tied to commenting. So where does upvoting play into this curation number? Also, how does your commenting contribute to your Author HP?
Commenting and curating are principally two different things. When you create a comment, you create a post and can generate author rewards. Curation comes only with upvoting posts or comments. At the moment it's possible to get around 8-9% APR from curation alone, i.e upvoting. I would suggest to follow a curation trail but to set it so that it starts to kick in only if voting power is above 95% for example. Like that it will vote automatically when you don't have time to do manual curation.

My curation APR is 10.6%. I've never looked at this before so I don't know if that's good or bad. I just try to make sure my voting power stays between 70%-99% at all times. I've also got quite a bit of HP delegated so I get some rewards for that as well. I'm probably going to pare that back a little after I reach certain thresholds. PIZZA, for example, gives a really good return on the delegation. I think I'm getting like 15 PIZZA a day for 2500 HP delegated. Once I reach 1000 PIZZA I'll probably trim that down.
I didn't realize I was getting this much in curation so I may be better served keeping the HP in my account. Any thoughts?
Thanks for creating this post. I keep learning...
And since I've got it.... !PIZZA :-)

I checked your account and I believe your real APR is probably a bit lower because you made a 1000 delegation 7 days ago. I think at the moment it's not possible to get more than 10% return on curation. At least I don't manage but maybe you do it better than me:-). I think that the principle of having the hive power always between 70% and 99% is the best practice.
Regarding delegating HP out, I believe that if you get a similar return it can be worth it. I think it's necessary to check case per case. In some cases it can also make more sense to keep the HP because like that you bring value to the people that you like. If you help them grow, their HP will grow and in the long run they will give you more powerful upvotes as well :-)
I think that you will be a "winner" of this small experiment/mission... lol... 10.6% for curation rewards these days is a very nice number, and I thought that it's impossible to achieve... Maybe you have delegated some HP lately (in the last 7 days) and that's the reason for APR over 10%? If not, then you are doing a very good job! :)
Does that mean bonus points? lol I just checked and it's down to 10.3% so maybe I just had a spike. I'll keep an eye on it for a few days and see if it changes. I'm pretty consistent with my curation though so I'm assuming it should stay fairly steady. We'll see. Either way, as I said above, I'm glad you posted about this. I could have easily gone another year without knowing it was here... :-)

hehehe... If you did delegations, it's just how they count curation rewards... No bonus points... 😅
After the last HardFork all curation rewards APRs are similar... and lately, most people have it around 9-9.5%
I see you're a Tier II Founder in PsyberX. Nice!!! I'm Tier 3. Could be an exciting one to be a part of. If they build as great of a game as they think they're building, might be a major home run. Long way to go but...fingers crossed. :-)

Yes, I am Tier II and it would be awesome if someone will grow from there... But, I'm still cautious until we see some first gameplay videos or some early alfa version...
Fingers crossed! :)

my APR is 6%. I constantly monitor it, it varies around 5.5-6.5%.
I want to clarify, is there an exact formula for calculating ARP? The APR is affected by the number of upvotes or their weight?
The APR calculates your real return in respect of the HP that you have. The problem is that upvotes that totalize less than 100 HP won't generate any curation rewards. That's probably why you can't reach more than 6%. Try to use always 100% upvotes and make sure that you upvote with around 90% voting power.
Thank you so much! It's funny I found your post through a search as I was interested in specifics on the subject. Turns out you were just interested in explaining it to people like me) Magical coincidence for me!)
I'm happy it was helpful for you :-). Thanks for stopping by!

My curation APR is 8.2% and I am not really that surprised since some of my comment votes get dusted.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes that's probably the reason why you are a bit below the 9.6% that are possible at the moment.

I do need to comment a lot more but my current curation APR is 9.1%
Everything over 9% is actually a good result at the moment... The curation APR went down by 2-3% in the last 2-3 months...
9.1% is actually pretty good. I think that the maximum at the moment is around 9.6%. So you are doing a good job :-)

I haven't checked my curation performance in ages. Looks like it's decent at 8.5%, with a combination of manual and following curation trails.
Yeah, nowadays everything over 8% is decent... I remember the good old times when it was over 15-20%... :)

I don't regret those times. Because that was mostly achieved by beating others to the front (or balancing in a way that curation was maximized). Now we have a full day to curate what we like before curation reward halves. Full curation spreads between more people/accounts, that's why the curation APR dropped, I believe. But it's fairer.
It is fairer... Before, the cherry of the cake was always eaten by big accounts and people who are running them... ;)

41% seems decent to me :D Hadn't really looked at this before though.
You are cheating... 😜 You have probably delegated out some HP and because of that you got that high APR...
!PIZZA
Yea, I'm delegating a ton of HP on the Splinterlands Discord to people that keep running out doing rentals :/

6.9 APR not sure how that ranks
It's a solid APR... You can check others' comments and compare...
Thanks for participating in this small experiment :)
!PIZZA
My curation APR is 7.2%
That's not bad... Maybe you can tweak a bit and get 1-2% more, but it is still a nice %...
!LUV
@ph1102(3/4) gave you
Thanks! You think it has to do with my curation stopping when my VP reaches 85%? Or is it something else I must tweak?
Well, I'm doing a combination of automatic upvotes + manual upvoting and nothing special... So, don't know what more to suggest to you... lol... My APR is around 9.5%, but I have delegated out some HP lately, so it's probably around 9%
Maybe you have some upvotes that are low percentage and you are losing rewards?
I do manual and automatic as well, and have always voted at 100%. Hmm...
4 credits added
Hmm mine is at 0.0%, but yeah my effective hive power is below 100. didn't know that's a requirement for curation rewards (I did receive small rewards in the past) will work to having 100+ effective power!
Had most delegated out as I thought that would be best if I don't have time to vote myself.. also not sure how to effectively go about curating in general but 100+ power and aim for 90-100% votes are good starting points I think, thanks!
Actually, I think that 100HP isn't a minimum and you can get rewards even if you have less HivePower... On the other side, I see that you upvote maybe 2-3 posts per day, so that's probably the reason for the 0% APR... You can always set up automatic upvotes with Hive.vote and get at least something from your staked Hive... ;)
Delegating out is also a good option... It depends on what are your priorities... ;)
Cheers!
!PIZZA
Thanks for the tips! Yeah I kinda like how it does something even when I'm busy and not doing much with it myself. But I do need some RC anyway so it's probably best to have a bit more then I do now.
I would keep it around min 200HP... That should be enough for gaming, upvoting, content creation... ;)

Thank you!
My curation apr is only 7.8% I think that's because since I don't have too much hive power currently some of my votes are practically being dusted off. That is why I considered the route of investing in individual tribe tokens instead and finding and supporting communities along the way.
Yeah, that can happen especially if you have some lower % upvotes... Focus on tribes and communities is a good approach... ;)
!PIZZA
Thanks, but actually this post and some recent activities made me realize I'm actually really proud of my lower apr in terms of curation. Because I rather spread the love out to underserved individuals or people that normally don't get an upvote from the masses and drop a comment because I personally know how much that means for me so I try to do the same towards others.
