RE: Is leasing profitable?

Yeah, I broke it up and will continue to break it up over time. Having a vote that counts is important and if I intend to support the community here I want a vote that matters to them and gets people involved in the community. Sure I may lose a bit on my end but if its a gain for the community its a small price to pay.

The one time 100 Hive payment was just to give me a frame of reference to know exactly what my percent return is and how much I end up paying for how much return....and how much I can give back to the members here (and elsewhere).

Cool to hear from you although I will admit when I saw a reply from @cwow my first thought was "Oh God, I must have really screwed up if I got a reply from one of the big boys". But so great to hear from you, appreciate it :) and will have to see how this experiment in leasing goes :)

Sort:  

Sorry for the late answer :D

I understand the reference, its a good start and if you can support the community more power to you dude :D
I think its a winning strategy long term, but its kinda hard to calculate if you ask me xD

Oh God, I must have really screwed up if I got a reply from one of the big boys

I am far from one of the big boys, but thanks for the compliment! :P

haha.... Not so hard to calculate. Spend 1 Hive. Curate until the lease runs out. Check how much money is in the account :)

If it is more than the 1 Hive I spent I made money. If it is more than 0.5 Hive then between myself and those I upvoted we win. If it is less than 1 Hive...then I screwed up. hehe

You will always almost lose Hive on Curation if you lease it xD

Standard Curation is 8% and if you lease it in for an 9% Apr, then you have lost 1% compared to just powering the Hive up.

Buuuuut, thats just short term, long term its worth it if you ask me, since you also get the hive inflation (3%)

Hmm... I thought the inflation still went to the original owner not the delegatee ... then again that's the whole point of this account :) See how things work out in the long run :)

Well, yes. If HP you lease from someone THAT hp goes back to the owner.

But the HP you earn from Curation, is yours and you get that inflation
