I don't do that well with my LEO earnings these days, I'm clearly not in the LEO Whale inner-circle.
I have to ignore the LEO front-end rewards which show incorrect amounts, wildly exaggerated, and despite complaints about this in the Discord for a while, it hasn't been resolved.
The Hive-Engine explorer tells me I get about 3-5 LEO a day on my main account, so that's my LEO rewards, since stopped delegating the Leo.Voter, as it just rewards too much poor content.
So at $0.02 LEO that's say $0.10 a post, of course that's an additional $0.10 compared to Hive.
But there is the additional hassle of using IN.LEO
I have to write posts in Peakd as it's much more reliable for saving drafts, so for that $0.10 I need to:
- Cut and paste
- Switch off the beneficiary rewards.
- Ignore the 'vote for the proposal' poop up (HIGHLY annoying)
- Swap the LEO when I eventually get the rewards....
All of that is about 1 minute of labour if I am efficient. and now...
60 * 0.10 = $6, so that's $6 an hour for my additional work....
That's about one third of minimum wage if I convert the figure to UK £££.
Interim Conclusion
At the moment it's not even worth my while cutting and pasting over to the LEO front end for the rewards I get.
Of course IF LEO increases in value then it would all be worthwhile. I'd be on minimum wage if LEO went back up to $6.
But will LEO go back up....?
The price of LEO is so low now it's not really worth selling anymore, I think we wait for further gains in crypto in general and hope LEO rises with it, I can't see it pumping now just from within the Hive.
However, clearly the majority of LEO holders and posters seek to sell the majority of their holdings, just as the case with Hive, and selling clearly that doesn't bother the curators, so I dunno, maybe there is less hope with LEO that with Hive...?
On the plus side it means I can be more relaxed about NOT using the Leo Front End, I mean PeakD is a smoother experience anyway!
