Thanks. I had found that and learned how to get in with hivesigner. A day earlier and your comment would have saved me some reading. I tried it with 100 hive ($12.00), and by the time I converted it to the swap coin, then to Leo, I only had $7.30 worth of Leo. That is nearly 40% of my upside just to get to even money.
I will play with it again and see if I can get better prices before putting any real money into Leo.
Update: Looks like I ran the numbers thinking I only got 30 Leo, but the other 40% was filled after I had left. I do tend to jump around a lot. Let see how long it takes to get my Leo staked up.
Whew, that does sound like an unreasonably large hit, the Hive Engine fees themselves are extremely reasonable. I'm sure there's a leak in the process there somewhere that can be plugged. As I look now though, your wallet is showing 51 LEO with a current value of $13.43. I don’t know if LEO has legit doubled in the past couple days or maybe you were just seeing a strange anomaly in the price feed at the time of purchase that looked like a big loss. I’ve never used the LEO DEX myself (which it looks like you may have gone through), just the Hive Engine market interface.
Now that you’re set up with HiveSigner, you may want to look into the Hive Keychain browser extension as well. I have both, but generally find Keychain to be more user friendly and widely used across various Hive sites & Apps. Desktop only for now, but there is a mobile version in the works.
