Who were the winners? The details are at the bottom but the short version:
Stonegale, Cinderclaw, Fitatic, and Gromphus were this weeks winners and they will be battling next week.
Cheer on of those combatants on next week for a chance at some GLD coins
SIDE NOTE: To cheer send !SPORTS tokens to your favorite dragon and they will be returned after the battles are over.
As no-one else cheered on any other dragons that makes him the winner. While it may seem like a waste to reward only one person uncontested I still think its a win because it shows that my bot is working and if others join, well, I know I can easily see which dragon got supported.
Thank you Hive account@gwanjberg. Maybe in time others will join you. Until then enjoy your 100 GLD prize. And your dragon
How am I reworking them? I want to make a larger stable of accounts watching more communities but with less HP being sent out. It just takes time to make up the delegation accounts :) I added Hive account@scifimultiverse this week and will be adding Hive account@ocdb later today with a bunch more to come so it will be a much more diverse list and hopefully more interesting to look at.
But the lesson learned from this forray? The difference between curations is small provided the accounts are curating regularly and staying at about 80% voting power makes more difference than which posts got curated.
Moving forward? I'll try to find a way to watch curation results from Hive account@hiveabbyftp (the Great Little Dragons curator) and use it as a benchmark to measure delegation rewards against.
Side project -- Once I see how profitable curation is I'll likely start accepting delegations from Hive users and return a hefty percentage back to them in GLD tokens.
Market Maker
I'm really quite impressed with how well the market maker account is working for the GLD token. Now the GLD token has always had a liquidity pool with Tribaldex so no-one ever got stuck with the token. However, if you wanted to sell on hive-engine? That looked like a ghost town.
So... Enter the market bot Hive account@merchantsguild. Twice a day it places buy and sell orders based on the price of HIVE. Quick version: The market maker buys GLD at a value of 95 GLD to 1 HBD and sells GLD at a value of 105 GLD to 1 HBD. The idea being that if HIVE goes down I'll buy more HIVE and if it goes up I'll sell more. When I look at the market? The coin is being moved AND there are lots of open orders both on the buy and sell side. Horray!
Ashflare was at a disadvantage from the start. Never got it's footings and lost without ever taking a match. 3-0 For Hive account@stonegale.gld
Round 2:
Hive account@emberfang.gld Fire/Earth VSHive account@cinderclaw Earth/Fire -- Biome : Fire/Air
Both have fire in their veins but emberfang is usually a stronger fire combatant. Not this time though, the fire never lit up and Cinderclaw win 3-0
