I am curating manually mostly unless my RC gets too high, then it follows the liotes curation trail!

I have some delegations for around 15% of my HP for projects that I like. I want to grow my HP so that this will be under 10%.

I'm doing the same. I think that the ourpick curation project is doing a great job and it's a nice way to support it.

20% for curation, 80% for delegation... although most of the time the ratio shifts frequently

why more on delegation? because I only vote what I read... I sometime don't have enough time to read more so I only vote a few small groups of people. On the other hands, maybe the exact reasons, is because I believe someone else can do a lot better job with those HP I lend/delegate to them. Or maybe they really need that HP more than me, to make them able to get result / incomes that support some real life.

I believe it's our choice to do with the HP what we want. If we don't like curating, it can make sense to delegate. But we also delegate our power on the chain and we shouldn't forget about that :-)

I curate manually so most of my HP is used to upvote other people's content and comments. Some were delegated to other projects/communities. When I go offline most of the day, I set and follow a few curation trails so my VP is not wasted.

That's a very good solution I believe and it doesn't require you to be online every single day.

I manually select what I like and don't pay too much attention to the power level. I have some small delegation but nothing important. This is not a topic that obsesses me, I suppose because I have little voting power.

With little voting power, it's a subject that is rather important because if we spread it too much, we won't generate any curation rewards with our votes. It's a balance to keep in mind :-)

I've got about 35-40% delegated and the rest I use for curating each day. My delegation number changes occasionally based on what I might want to support, but it usually stays around that number.

I have over 1k HP, around 50+ is delegated. The rest I'm using to curate posts I like. I follow some curators and I also curate manually.

It's important to curate with a minimal amount of Hive power in order to avoid risking falling below the dust level.

I generally delegate 20-25% of my HP and the rest I use for curation. I have almost 60k HP and 13k is delegated to some projects and the rest is used for curating authors. Most of the time this ration remains in this range.

At the moment I have almost all my HP delegated, in this case exactly 80.66%, but I have around 1.1k to return. My idea is to leave a maximum of 70% delegated and leave the other 30% for healing, as I have some goals in mind that I need to accumulate something, I need to delegate so I don't get left behind.

Even so, I'm constantly revising, so anything can change at any time.

When delegating a lot of hive power, we run the risk that our own votes don't carry much value anymore and therefore we might lose the curation rewards of that share. So it's a delicate balance.

It's a point that I'm thinking about nonstop, I'm going to wait for this 1.1k to come back and review my next objectives so I don't end up with such low HP and not get the healing return. Thanks for giving me this tip.

Yeah, I need to watch it to understand what you want to ask 🤣. !LOL

90% Delegated to a project that gives me a return (liotes and alive)
10% for curation and activities divided into:

  • Following some curation trail
  • Upvotes some interesting posts that I found
  • Hive transactions

You delegate a big chunk to liotes. It's great and I believe it allows you to grow your account even faster than if you curated yourself. Knowing that we do quite a nice manual curation with ourpick, I believe it's a good choice :-)

Most of my HP is now delegated to some of the projects that I like. while the rest stayed with me so that I still could do some manual curation, but the Voting power got drained quite fast since I wanted to also have some impact on those I voted. I wish to grow more so that I can distribute more power on the project and those I voted.

That's a good point. If we delegate too much, our vote value tends to get too low and our manual votes aren't worth anything anymore.

I delegate to Liotes and Pimp because they are two projects that I like. But above all I do manual curation of what I like. I also try to support my SORT token so that it continues to grow.

That's my HP right now (Ecency wallet):

I'm using all three methods you mention:

  • about 10K of HP is delegated (Ecency and Liotes included)
  • the rest, about 10K or circa 50% of HP, is used for manual curation and some trails - Liotes, LMAC, and ShadowHunters.

and that's it.

With that amount of hive power, it makes sense to delegate a part of it and I believe that both projects are doing a rather good job of curating ;-)

I try to maintain 80% for my curation, but lately, it is getting difficult, there are projects that I want to help with and also some others that provide tokens which the project attracts me. So currently I am around 50% - 50% but with my power-ups + posting rewards I will try my best to achieve 80% for curation use purely.

I believe it's important that we don't delegate too much HP out so that our votes still carry enough value in order not to drop below dust level.

It's good to curate as much as possible yourself. I would advise only to people that have a consistant stake to delegate HP out in order to avoid that our uvpotes don't manage to go above the dust level.

I use all the methods you described, plus voting on governance.

Regarding the breakdowns, I keep the majority of my HP at my disposal instead of delegated out for other reasons.

Between auto and manual, it's hard to say. I try to manually curate daily both authors and commenters on my posts, but I don't go the extra mile to search for additional content besides my routine, if my voting mana is still above 80%. Whatever if left or when there are long periods without me voting on anyone, curation trails kick in (I don't autovote on anyone in particular, but there are authors I upvote quite regularly myself). Right now, autovoting kicks in when mana goes above 95% (if the respective curators I follow start curating, that's why I don't use something like 98 or 99%).

By the way, Achim (or Zoltan), what's the easiest way to see a breakdown of our last 7 days voting distribution? I haven't checked mine in a good while, and I think I need to, from time to time. I don't seem to remember a tool that does that (not on a post level, but in general).

One way is through peakd. There you can see the graphical distribution of your votes according to a certain time frame. I wonder whether there is a more precise way however.

I went through all the methods you mentioned; delegating, following curation trail, and curating manually with my tiny HP. Currently, as I have time, I am trying to curate content manually and to distribute my part of the rewards to the content creators.

When I will have no time to curate, I will delegate my HP, like I did many times before, for a temporary basis.

I curate on my own using my voting power but I do have a few curation trials that I do follow when my Voting Power is above 96%. Personally, one of my goals has always been getting a 5% vote above the dust threshold and I don't really have plans to delegate out my HP before that.

That's a very good point. If your upvote is smaller than the dust level, then it's a lost upvote. I also pay attention to that.

It is 100% self curation for me. I'll whittle it down to almost exactly 80% before repeating it again like clockwork the next day at almost 100% fully charged.

Excellent topic! I believe that HP is a mirror of what a person is and supports in hive. HP is very important and should not be delegated to just anyone!

Currently, I delegate about 80% to projects like hivebr, leo and liotes. The rest I leave to manual votes, but since I don't have much time to be present on hive, I'm following the path of Hivebr.

This is true! When we don't have that much time to vote on other posts, we either delegate or follow a trail. I prefer to delegate to good projects, because I know that my HP will be used for votes on quality posts!

I know it's wild but I do all the above and probably a little more.

  • curation trails help build my HP when I'm not as active
  • I delegate some HP to keep liquid HP coming to my account when I'm not actively posting as much
  • I'm in a curation group that helps me promote my posts and earn some extra HP

All of these help my account but also benefit the other participants. I kind of like how this operates as is. I say it's pretty decentralized in my opinion.
