Researching the Leo.Voter Experience and LEO&HODL Contest
DYOR - Do Your Own Research - We hear it time and time again in crypto...
BUT ... DO you do it?
Well this weeks topic for the LEO&HODL Contest from the amazing @hodlcommunity is to discuss the leo.voter voter account.
I have personal experience of this account which I will share, however first it is time for us to get out our 🔍 magnifying glasses 🔎
So come join with me as we DOOR on leo.voter 🕵🕵

By the way ... you thought I cocked that up!
Go On ... Admit it, you did!
I could see you laughing from here 🤣 DOOR he said haha!
Well no, we are are going to DOOR Do OUR Own Research on @leo.voter

Now then Watson, I have to be Holmes dont't I!
Fun Fact 1 Sherlock Holmes was created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle who was from Edinburgh in Scotland 🏴 like me
Fun Fact 2 Sir Arthur Conan Doyle based Sherlock Holmes on Dr. Joseph Bell, one of Conan Doyle's medical school professors and made the detective solve thngs with oberservation and reason just like me @coquicoin and Sherlock Holmes is really #faction! source History.com
What can we observe from the leo.voter profile?
Curating content that is posted natively from https://leofinance.io and paying delegators in our token, LEO.
☑️ leo.voter curates content posted using the LeoFinance front end
☑️ leo.voter pays delegators in the token LEO

Did you see the "A SCOT Tribe" in the profile banner? How apt then that this Research is being headed up by me a SCOT!
If you have been following my entries for the LEO&HODL Contest over the last 4 weeks then you know that I can be a pedantic arse... So here we go again🤦
The profile on @leo.voter tells us to go to steem.leo for more information
and then....
The profile on @steem.leo tells us that...
We've moved our official updates to the @leofinance account! Go follow us on there for official announcements
One of the most common problems with the internet in general is outdated information.
Here we are told to goto steem.leo for more info when it should be leo.finance
👉 Recommendation... Update @leo.voter PROFILE 👈
Let's have a look at leo.voter account stats
source screenshot of the leo.voter stats on my version of hivestats.io
Over 2 million effective HP! They are a whale 🐳 that is for sure!
But did you see they also delegate HP, yes many many small cubs and newlions get a delegation from @leo.voter 👏👏👏
So they have a fair few thousand LP as well.
Is leo.voter curation transparent?
For all us new hivers and new lions, we don't really understand what gets curated and what doesn't.
If you are an OG it does not really matter what you post and that is fair enough, they put up with the sh$t and did the grind for us newcomers. But for us scrap feeders it is good to get a guide on how we possibly could get a big vote.
This is where the LeoVerse and in particular @leogrowth and @anomadsoul have jumped to the rescue. Curation by Leo Finance just got a decentralized flavor is a MUST READ post on how posts are picked up by the Leo Ambassador team of @l337m45732, @whatsup, @niallon11, @bitcoinflood, @idiosyncratic1, @finguru, @uyobong and @anomadsoul to be curated for and voted by @leo.voter.
It is as you would expect, quality baby quality! However, it is a good guide for any post no matter what the community.
So yeah, they are transparent now!
Is Leo.voter beneficial to LEO ecosystem?
And here we have a no-brainer.
- I already mentioned that leo.voter delegates some HP to newlions so they can post.
- leo.voter votes (the clue is in the name, funny that eh!)
- and voting keeps the LeoVerse expanding and growing
And you still want more? Well hold your horses, and see how this next question is connected...
Why you should delegate Hive Power to Leo.Voter ?
FOMO yes FOMO, are you lion, a cub a LeoVerse user?
Then you will want your ecosystem to keep growing and thriving..
You add HP to the leo.voter account
=> leo.voter accounts gets bigger
=> their vote holds more value
=> you get bigger rewards
=> you can delegate more
=> the account gets bigger
=> the vote gets beigger and so on and so on...
Do you know what that is?
It's the COL! - Yes the Cycle of Love...
Delegate your HP to @leo.voter it's just a lovely thing todo!
What is the best way to utilize the voter account services?
- Delegate some Hive Power to @leo.voter if you don't know how, then drop me a comment
- Write and post good quality content in the LeoVerse from withing the LeoFinance front end
- Get engaging in the LeoVerse especially using threads (this helps get you noticed)
- Start curating and voting on good quality content in LeoFinance!
How can newlions benefit from it?
You cannot under estimate the feel good feeling that you get from a comment or a vote. That is the incentive to stay somewhere.
By joining in all the #newlion initiatives from @leogrowth the odds are that a newlion will get voted by leo.voter and hence will benefit.
Then the LeoVerse love affair will start and it is a winwin for everyone.
My experience with Leo.Voter
I am still a newlion, and not even a cub yet, however I have been here trying to at least purrr in the LeoVerse and I have participated in each #lpud.
You can see below that I started to delegate 266HP to @leo.voter on June 8th just before the first #lpud on June 15th.
👇 This gives me typically a daily return of 👇
☑️ @tengolotodo is fluffing chuffed with that, Hell yeah I am !
So that is the delegation side of @leo.voter, but what about the voting side I hear you ask....
This was from my last post
So yes I get upvotes from @leo.voter and am happy about that.
The Competition
Nobody really likes a monopoly do they?
No Sherlock, they don't!
Glad you agree Watson.
Okay our very own contest host @hodlcommunity do provide a delegation service for HP and LP.
*source screenshot from Rewarding our curators on this great LPUD! by @hodlcommunity and @vlemon
Those figures look quite enticing, however DYOR! Actually part of your DYOR should be reading that post and then checking out @mistakili @idiosyncratic1 @belemo @readthisplease to get a feel for how they write and what they might curate!
meowcreator LP LEO and meowLEO
@meowcurator is a curation entity where users can delegate LEO Power and get 90% of the curation rewards daily. It is operated by a trusted handful of curators curating good quality content on LeoFinance each and every day.
A year ago @deathwing posted Auto-Compounding LEO Rewards! | Announcing Meowcurator which described how you could delegate your LP to get some meowLEO which could then be swapped for LEO.
Two months ago in his last update Auto-Compounding LEO Rewards | Meowcurator Update he left us to think on this statement!
Remember, HODLing meowLEO gets you LEO rewards just as if you've delegated LP to @meowcurator.
@indiaunited HP and/or LP
The final alternative (that I have found) for HP and LP delegation to leo.voter is @indiaunited and is a service to which I currently delegate to.
You can see that I delegate 980 LP and get a weekly average of 1.228 LEO.
People can delegate their Hive Power to the Indiaunited community and get a 100% share of the Curation rewards earned by the community account. In addition to that, people can also delegate their Leo Power to @india-leo account and earn 100% curation reward share.
That is their standard blurb and you can find out more information at their latest post Indiaunited - Weekly LEO Delegation Report till 30-09-2022
LEASING on leofi.io
Sometimes you can lease out your Leo Power and earn some passive APY
But by the looks of it, I would bargain that the leases have been snapped up by @forexbrokr!!
AND NOW I have no intention of boring you any further.
My planned further research will involve a study to test out the various options for HP and LP delegations for passive LEO rewards.
YOU GET THE IDEA .... LEO.VOTER ROCKS THE LEOVERSE
This post is actually an entry for LEO&HODL Contest Week 5 - Focus: Contributions of Leo.Voter
But don't take my word for it DYOR and check out @leo.voter the now!
hey @deraaa, @eylz619 @coquicoin you should have a look and join in the contest
Wishing you a rockin weekend people!

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Great post, very informative indeed. I have been using @leo.voter since LPUD started, and am very happy with the results - its helping me make sure I have enough LEO each month !
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Thanks and yes the results are great from leo.voter
Getting our lpud amount passively is the dogsb!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Sherlock errr the Scot did it again :)
You have thoroughly put leo.voter into your magnifying lens Tito Ed! And thank you for the bonus info you have added. I didn't know how meowcurator works but not anymore, thanks to you :)
I had to LOL when while making my entry, I went to steem.leo only to be told to go to leofinance, lol! Imagine if you would have to walk from leovoter to steemleo then to leofinance. But yes, the page does need an update.
!PIZZA
I experienced this also 😅😅 and it wasn't funny really
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Haha it's okay though at least we didn't walk lol!
yeah that tickled me CJ ;)

hehe a pain in the arse, noh @ifarmgirl
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
hehe salamuch CJ.
I had heard of people using meowcurator but I had no idea you get meowLEO so that was interesting to find out.
I may well do more research and tabulate the various options!
hehe imagine the walking, yeah that would be a pain noh hehe ;)
Have a wonderful October and keep turning up!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes, the meowLEO seems to be interesting and it would be cool Tito Ed if you'd find out more about the various options. Would be waiting :)
And yes, unbelievable it's already October!
Yes I will do something CJ!

Hi Super Ed!
So far leo.voter has been a good source of Leo I am happy with the result of my delegation and maybe in October, I will delegate some more Hive to them. The leasing option is interesting and I will read more about it, so thank you Super Inspector Ed for pointing it out;)
And about Leo's delegation, I would like to evaluate other options for india-leo, I am not unhappy with the result but I would like to know what other options there are and maybe do a little test;)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I am going to do a study/test and will also delegate some HP to @hodlcommunity . We need toexplore all options for the best returns..
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Oh, I love this :) Super Inspector Ed is in action. I need to find another account to delegate to, and then we can compare numbers, savings partner.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
leo.voter and hodlcommunity are the two to do I think...indiaunited do HP but pay in Hive so they said in discord
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Hi Super Ed! How was your Sunday? I'm behind on Hive, I have my notifications on 🔥🔥🔥 but at least I just posted.
You talk about testing with accounts delegating Hive to get Leo, but I don't want to do that for now. I don't want to use more HP for anything other than getting Hive at least until I have my goal for the year for sure. What I want to do is look for other accounts that I can delegate my Leo to, other than India-leo I know there is one called meow.curator but do you know of any other, Super Inspector Ed?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Hi...what is this Hi!
Hola Hola Super Eli;)
Yes I am catching up,as was busy doing the magazine stuff today, but luckily as I have been posting in LF lately it means not much comments, so my notifications are easy to sort and I can find yours easily..
Okay I want to do both,HP and LP.
LP yes we have india and meow and also ...hodlcommunity the ones sponsoring the contests I was winning my LEO in...
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
So now you are too Ed, the magazine guy ;)
I want the LP and the HP to win Hive hehe. I'm going to check the hodlcommunity account, I haven't paid attention to the contests to tell you the truth because I've been too lazy to join the discord server, but I shall do it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Oh no! Sherlock @tengolotodo this magnifying Lens has broken. The amount of information you provided here was so vast that it couldn't see and unsee what has already been seen.
This was so detailed and fun to read through. You are indeed a real time inspector.
True, there is need to update the Leo.voter profile. We had to run marathon from Leo.voter profile to stem.leo and yet, We had to go back to where we came from.
Hahaha
That was not fair at all 😅
Wonderful entry
I enjoyed it so much
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
haha I had to recover after the marathon going from profile to profile.
hehe that was fun to write.
Happy Saturday Happy October and for you Happy Independence Day. I have been busy watching footy today but will be looking at your entry now:)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Your future self is definitely going to thank you for adding at least 1 LEO per day.
Keep stacking mate! 🦁
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Thank you, yes I will be adding more HP to the pot so hopefully get 2 LEO a day.
Stacking is the way to go Dane, cheers :)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
that was well written Ed... gotta send you a message regarding this as I have some question :) thanks for the tag!
Thanks Eylz, this one has passed now, but the Then and Now is still on.
Congratulations @tengolotodo! You received a personal badge!
Wait until the end of Power Up Day to find out the size of your Power-Bee.
May the Hive Power be with you!
You can view your badges on your board and compare yourself to others in the Ranking
