Bi-weekly steem progress report
Well, well, well. It was another great 2 weeks on the Steem blockchain, but I also have some worries.
My worry is that I am too focused on reaching the dolphinhood before we write 2020 that I am neglecting some vital steem related things.
Maybe focused is the correct wording, obsessed maybe is a better description. And as we all know an obsession is never good.
The progress
First let's have a look at the progress I made. In the past report my account had 2211 own SP. And I managed to add another 259 SP to it. Great progress in my opinion. That is an increase over 10%.
At the moment of writing I am a little bit short for reaching the mighty dolphinhood status halfway! I do own now 2470SP.
The main income still is blogging. On average I do earn around 6.173 steem per day. Which still isn't enough to make my dream come true!
There are 267 days left in the year so if I can keep this average up I would earn an extra 1650 steem. Great but as told not enough.
So I do need some extra income.
Extra income
Here is where the curation, delegations and the games come into play.
Curation
Last month it was the best month ever in my steem career. I did earn 17,796 steem with curating posts. I do count on 0.35 steem curation rewards per day, which should add an extra 90 to 95 steem in the pocket!
So don't estimate the steem income of curation, because it does add up. And the bigger the account grows, the more it accumulates. So probably the 90 to 95 steem is a low estimate.
I am sure that I could increase this by investigating which accounts do use bid bots and so on, but I prefer not to do this.
Delegations
For the moment I only have 1 delegation which directly returns some income and that is a delegation to @ocdb. This earns me around 0.1 steem per day. I do agree that this is not a lot, but every little bit of steem does help me!
And I am planning to increase the delegation to @ocbd. Would to have it on 500 SP, but it will grow with small steps. Because every steem that I delegated cannot be used to reward other Steemians with my mighty and growing upvote power. Increasing it too much, will of course also have an effect on the curation income.
Games
Yes, I am a sucker for games on the steem blockchain. Some really do interest me from an investment point of view, other are slipping!
I do know how much my loss is for every game but I have no clue how much it helps to reach my goal. In some cases it is losing some steem at the moment, hoping that the investment will pay off later.
So, I will make another tab in my excel file, to check this.
I do earn around 1 steem div per week from magicdice, but my hopes are more on steem-bet and for sure Kryptogamers, who were nice enough to reward me with a bonus of 250K GAMER tokens.
So here is the baseline, so that we can check this in 2 weeks from now.
I will be using the bookkeeping functionality from @holger80 for most of them.
| Game | Profit/Loss Steem | Profit/Loss SBD |
|---|---|---|
| Steemmonsters | -356.975 Steem | - 6.48 SBD |
| Steembet | -77.712 Steem | - 1.44 SBD |
| Drugwars | + 70.465 Steem | 0 |
| Magicdice | -10.921 Steem | + 7.092 SBD |
| Kryptogamers | - 87.345 Steem | 0 |
Calculations
Like you can expect from me, I did made some calculations. In the worst case scenario I do need to earn/mine/win 3.307 steem extra per day to reach the destination, in the best case scenario this drops to 2.257 steem per day!
Of course also some scorum could be swapped to steem, but I also want to swap scorum into other crypto coins! Tough decisions have to be made!
Next report
I did set a chechkpoint on the report of the 23th of April. According to the plan I should have 2376 steem at that moment in time, if that wasn't the case I would be forced to buy some steem on the market! Luckily this won't be necesarry becuase I am ahead of plan.
The next checkpoint has been set on the 21th of May, at that date 2636 Steem is needed, I also expect that I won't be forced to buy some steem there!
But I do need to decrease my obsession a little bit and focus more on the important things on steem and for me personally this is to interact with each other steemians. Trying to help other Steemians, just trying to be the best Steemian possible!
Cheers,
Peter
Your reports are so detailed it is amazing :) Probably the best ones out there.
Glad to see you are making progress.
dApps are eating my SP as well, and out of 2300 SP I have around 1300 delegated. I need to change this. At the same time I support some new Steemians with around 100SP delegations, and this is my balance on the social side of things :)
I am also supporting new Steemians with a small delegation. Glad that I am able to give something back to the community!
I have delegated around 1185 SP. I will get back 100 SP today, but I will delegate 50 to 60 of those again.
The idea is the delegate 30 to 40% of my growth extra. With the idea that it is an investment.
Probably will also revoke the delegation to one of the dice games. Always hard to make a decision to delegate to whom or when it is time to revoke a delegation.

Thanks for the web. Just visited. Looks great.
It is pretty cool when you progress and on track of your objective to become a dolphin.

It indeed is, but like a wrote dolphinhood may not become an obsession!
Thanks for dropping by!

Great progress Peter! Obviously making an obsession of your goal would not be good, but focus is.
I think you are able to make much more SP by curating than you expect. According to the graph, you made 17 SP in March, which is more than 0.5 SP per day. Given that it will grow together with your account, I expect at least 1 SP per day at the end of the year. On average that should be about 0.75 per day, so around 200 SP the rest of this year.
Besides that, you seem to keep outperforming your (bi-)weekly goals, so I'm confident you will reach Dolphinhood within 2019.
Cheers!
Thanks Erik!
To be honest I have no explanation or clue where all the Steem is coming from!
I know that the games do have a big influence on it, but no idea how big that influence is!

As long as it keeps coming, you should't worry/care 😉

Mmh I do disagree with that statement. If you don’t know where it is coming from, you won’t know when it will stop. So you don’t know when it is time to find a new way of income!
Knowledge is the key! But that’s my opinion!
I do need to have this knowledge to see if the progress is steady and organic or if it is artificial!
But hey I do enjoy the progress pace!

Given your tight schedule, you're probably right. In that case I'm curious to read about the conclusions of a calculation.
For me it is much easier since I don't play a lot of games and I don't have such a challenging goal.
This does make me think that I should set a goal though. Will think about it the coming days.

Going strong Peter 💪

Together we will grow! What is good for me is good for you! Glad that I can give you upvotes of already $0.06.
Still remember the days that a full upvote from me was not even $0.01.

Good progression man! Curation can be improved as well
Posted using Partiko iOS
I know and I know the way how to do this. But I am not willing to. This would also meaning decreasing the support I can give to others.
Tough decisions!
Thanks

Awesome progress indeed! I too have been thinking a bit more about curation and since joining @ocd and @ocdb, I continue to believe that they provide great opportunities to help increase curation efforts given their process with active curators on Discord. I am still behind but have it on my radar for the next couple of weeks!

I did use the ocdb service for the first time last week. Still waiting on the payout of that post to check how profitable it was. I guess you will need some luck. If the value of steem increases too much, you could make a loss on it.
But still proud to be on the list.
Just checking your curation rewards, but it is a lot to load, which probably is a good sign :)
Well that is a pleasant surprise. You are earning around 50 to 55 steem per month with curating! Hell of a Job! In your complete steem career you have earned a whopping 334 steem with only liking peoples posts! Thumbs up for that!
Maybe for me I may one day know what it all means and be able to do it, but for now all I can do is put a story in once a day and get my 36 cents on average; whatever..
Let’s see if I can provide some tips to increase your earnings! If you knew them already, just ignore the comment.

And for the rest it is just pure luck I assume.
If you like to go to a restaurant Tasteem could come in handy!
Cheers,
