Did you know you can lease HP?

Now as with all the different "Dragons" in this community I tend to start them off with 100 HP and see what kind of return they can get by delegating to different communities.

This time things will be a little bit different. This account was handed 100 swap.hive and with that I'm trying to lease HP for four weeks and see how much I can get in curation rewards.

Head over to hive-engine

In order to get a lease I headed over to Hive-Engine and placed an order there under the leases tab. There used to be other places to lease HP (dLease if I remember but for today I'm using hive-engine).

When you go to the lease page you will see something like this

I made an offer for HP that would make the top of the list. Now I probably should have done what oadissin@oadissin did and made multiple smaller leases so they are more likely to get filled. However, I really want to see how much HP I can end up with if I start with 100 and buy a lot of HP and then get those curation rewards coming in.

Side benefit: If I have 10,000 HP then I know I will have enough RC in order to make a few new name creation tokens so I can expand my research on different ways of making money on Hive that much faster.




Will anyone bite on my lease request?

Honestly I have no idea. I did do this once before and it filled within 12 hours. I'm hoping for similar success this time but....

Time will tell.

And who knows....

In a month I hope to be able to answer the question...... Will I get more or less than 100 HIVE back after 1 month of curations? They say curations pay out at 12% which means I could be stretching my budget

.... or I could end up with a whole lot less. Who knows?
