Targeting Dolphin Status
Dolphin Status may still be a ways away but every week if I can add to my Hive Power will get me just a little closer to that goal. I know it is just a new title with no additional benefits but it does give me something to aim for.
Even though I might not reach it this year, I am not just going to give up trying to do as best I can this year, I will continue to post and do as good as I can to make progress toward that goal.
To achieve Dolphin status you must have 10,000,000 Vests.
I currently have 6,543,089 from 6,520,021 Vests in last report. This is an increase of 23,068 Vests up from last week reported, so still like 3,456,911 Vests.
Activity on the Hive blockchain while earning Hive translates into Vests. I am not very knowledgeable about how the back blockchain calculations regarding Hive Power or Vests work but only know that I need to target 10,000,000 Vests points to advance to the Dolphin status.
I thought in the last week I had made better progress than that but I guess I didn't. The numbers are what they are and I can only go with what they are telling me.
Hive Engine lease board
I have made a total of three Hive Power Leases in the past couple of weeks. All three with an APR over 10%. I was only receiving around 8% APR on the Hive Power curation so believe this is a very good improvement to my overall return.
I was diving into the swap.hive received and noticed it was slightly lower than what was stated I would be receiving or so I thought. There is around a 10% reduction in the amount. For instance,
Here is the wording on the confirmation transaction setting up one of the leases
"Your delegation to justclickindiva with id: 689cb1d1e531adf893b15237, for 6 weeks, 1000 HP, with a total of 42 payouts of 0.39285714 SWAP.HIVE per day, has now started."
The first payment on that HP Lease was 0.35357142 Swap.hive vs the 0.39285714 referenced in the above transaction stating what the payouts would be.
"he-lease transferred 0.35357142 SWAP.HIVE to @darmst5339Payment for your delegation of 1000 HP to justclickindiva. ID: 689cb1d1e531adf893b15237"
Based on this, when evaluating future Hive Power Leases, I need to take into consideration the 10% fee that is taken before payouts of the daily swap.hive payments. Just another thing to add to my list when comparing returns of Hive Project returns.
Let me do state that even with that fee, I would still make the same decision regarding leasing out the Hive Power due to the amount I receive is still greater than what I was receiving.
Hive and HBD Accumulation
I changed the format of my progress update posting to not be as granular in all the detail. I will continue with the higher level post and just report my current amounts.
Today's Hive Balance:
Liquid Hive - 35.033
Staked Hive - 3938.195 of which 2307.949 is delegated
Liquid HBD - 12.573
Staked HBD (Savings) - 132.883
(Staked HBD earned Interest - 0.652)
I did add 2 HBD to my HBD savings to take advantage of the 15% APR savings rate as well. I don't yet have very much in HBD savings so want to get it at a much higher level. If I find more great APR on the Hive Engine HP lease board, I may decide to take advantage of that as well.

I think tracking my ranking will also be of value when measuring my progress. I am currently ranked 2742 from 2749 holder of Hive Power moving up 7 positions in the ranking. By tracking this metric, I am hoping to move up in the ranking each and every week.
Even with the small advancement in my ranking, I still added to my balance. As I get higher in the rankings, it will be more difficult to pass others. My assumption is that people with a higher ranking are more active thus earning around the same that I am earning thus making it harder to move up.

Alive Target
I have been able to grow my Alive but not my AliveM balance this week. I traded (bought) some Alive as the market was looking a little light in the buy orders. By doing this, I am hoping to support the Alive token. The AliveM price appeared to have jumped a lot as the value of my AliveM holdings almost tripled.
I did not stake any additional Alive tokens this week. I am debating if I should stake my liquid balance or add additional buy/sell orders to the Alive market.
