Why I'm delegating to @leo.voter and how to do it.

Hi,

one of the best passive investments in the LEO universe is the delegation to @leo.voter. Yes, we have the miners, the WLEO pool (which is awesome, even if I'm to small to afford investing there) and some others, but the @leo.voter delegation is special as it uses Hive, the backbone of the chain and pays you 16% APR in LEO.

This is amazing as the delegation is giving out more than I usually gain by curation. Curation is run by the big bots, that kill any sense of it, as it does not make sense to aim to gain something if Hive is purely targeted. There are the high earners accounts ant the rest of the people.

My mere curation return is at 7.2%, where on a guaranteed return of 16% sounds much better.

Also the @leo.voter account, by the big delegation it bears, has a potential to break the circle of trending.

I had a discussion with @cflclosers the other day on how to delegate to @leo.voter. Here is a small tutorial to make things easy.

1. Via leofinance.io

I would recommend the leofinance.io page. Here we need to go to the wallet and select the Hive tab:

Now go and click the small dude next to your HP:

Enter @leo.voter into the to field and the amount in the appropriate field and then click Continue:

After that go to the magnifying glass in the same row with the HP and check the delegation:

Here you can modify the delegation by pressing the dude again. If you want to add 500 HP more please write the whole end sum in this case 3500and press Continue:

2. Via Peakd

If you don't like leofinance.io, then I would recommend Peakd which has a similar procedure.

Here please got to the wallet and it will bring you directly to the Hive tab and press delegate where the HP is displayed:

Here you will have a similar window where you can enter the account you want to delegate to and the amount and press continue:

After that you can check via the magnifying glass the delegation and you update it:

If you want to increase it by 1000 HP, pay attention to add it to the whole sum, like in this case to 5000 HP:

By doing this post I increased the delegation from this account to 5000 HP, which I plan to increase even further over time. It will remove you from some lists and posts if you delegate, but the 16% APR are better than the ego filling from a post.

If you have here further questions, please drop a comment and I will come back to you as soon as I can. Thanks

I've done that for a while already. It doesn't 'return' as much LEO as it use to when the price of LEO was smaller (compared to Hive), but it still gives a decent amount, if we consider LEO's price and perspectives. All while HP ROI alternatives don't even come close these days.

If you take the LEO from a few weeks ago and the value of it now, the return is higher than 16% as it adapt on a daily basis. If Hive price rises and LEO doesn't you will get more LEO the next day.

What do you mean by this part? Are there groups that actually penalize you if you choose to delegate your stake out? I think smaller accounts can make a good deal with curation, but it isn't an easy process. It takes a lot of fine tuning and likely voting on stuff that you don't actually like but the rewards are good so you do it anyway. Delegating to a group that you know is going to reward quality content seems like a much better idea. I might be upping my delegation to them after reading this. Just waiting for an answer on that question above.

It is one of the best guaranteed returns on this blockchain, and with the development going on, the LEO today will be much more worth tomorrow!

Hello, I have one question. Is available some tool to calculate profit? I mean, what if you delegate 1000 HP to leo.voter, how much you can obtain? Thanks and keep making great post!

There is no tool as far as I know, but I did some math on the first payouts and it was 16% at that day.The tokens you get vary every day as they depend on the value of LEO and Hive and this change on a daily basis.
