Useful info - thank you ! Just by way of comparison, I make the daily paid out to proposals (excluding the stabiliser) 11008 HBD per day. I'm not sure offhand how much is paid out to witnesses (I'll have to look at Dalz's most recent report).

So while I'm earning a decent amount of HBD, and need to add in the monthly interest, the way to really do well on Hive is to learn to code useful stuff, and run a witness node with enough people voting for you to at least get into the top 40-50. Shame I can't code, don't know how to run a node and don't know many people..... I guess that tells me what next year's projects should be 😁
