Tbh, I’ve never used Steem Rewarding but always used SmartSteem’s curation service instead; only setting to auto vote friends and follow curation by the former jahm whitelist.
When I made the switch to Hive I decided to lease HP on @dlease to test and see if the returns are worth it if I really start curating. I mean it’s been over 2yrs and I barely get substantial upvotes, so may as well try something new. Right?
Not to mention the SBI debacle 🙄
The thing is, you actually have to curate. Go figure. 😇
You can’t just upvote random feed posts, it takes time to read, and find posts to support outside of your circle. Plus, things are picking back up now and having idle (leases) HP sitting at 100% all day just won’t cut it.
Enter Rewarding.app
At first glance it may seem a bit daunting, but it’s a powerful curation tool once you get used to setting (and tweaking) the voting rules. It’s so simple to use that it appears complex.
I managed to get things going within minutes by following the Rewarding.app tutorial posted by @abitcoinsceptic
Given that I’ve recently upped my delegation to @tipu, I figured the best trail to follow would be them as well. I’m posting from mobile, but here’s a screenshot of the voting log from last night when I set it up.
I’ve also added a couple clients and friends to auto-vote. Most of whom know who they are, the usual suspects lol 😉
Last but not least, using @dlease is an investment. It’s DeFi. This isn’t the only way to do it, but make sure to find a way to keep curating (quality content) even when you’re AFK.
The @tipu earnings and scaled curation rewards, along with doubling my leased HP for 8weeks should make a difference and grow my holdings faster. However, it’s all an experiment 🙂
Peace ✌🏽
