I had AI soften my original response and it came up with : "I have to agree—what you’re describing isn’t just low, it’s not a livable wage. A true minimum wage should at least cover food, shelter,

I read the article and then reread it because the topic is interesting to me. I think there may be one piece of the puzzle missing, at least from how leasing works in practice. This is a sub-account off

I think I got lease rates at about 10%. High enough I don't make profit myself but if I look into other people getting upvotes then it works :)

Hmm... I thought the inflation still went to the original owner not the delegatee ... then again that's the whole point of this account :) See how things work out in the long run :)

haha.... Not so hard to calculate. Spend 1 Hive. Curate until the lease runs out. Check how much money is in the account :) If it is more than the 1 Hive I spent I made money. If it is more than 0.5 Hive

Yeah, I broke it up and will continue to break it up over time. Having a vote that counts is important and if I intend to support the community here I want a vote that matters to them and gets people involved

Ahh. Perhaps I wasn't clear. At current rates I have HBD in savings which gives me about $10 HBD monthly. I can (a) give out that money to the community. (b) I can convert to HIVE or GLD and give that

True. Whales can do it. If they vote for themselves in a way similar to how they vote for others I personally wouldn't have an issue. However, if I was to take the lazy panda as an example. Usual upvotes

:) I have looked at a few accounts that were setup as delegation accounts. The difference between them wasn't that much but you are right, getting the 10% is almost like a pipe dream. Still, starting with

Your probably right. However, it says the return is up to 13.13% with 2.94% being the increased value of HP over time meaning up to 10.19%. Realistically it will be less and I'm totally expecting that.

Yeah. You are absolutely correct. I just thought I would put it out there for 24-48 hours and see what happened. I was actually about to switch it to a bunch of smaller requests (maybe 4 x 2K and a few
