December checking of the Author vs Curation rewards: What do I think I have done right?
I am starting to use Hive and Leo Finance as my record-keeping notepad as I see it as one important use case of this blockchain.
Fortunately, I have been doing so in terms of storing screenshots of my account progress. Specifically, I am interested to know how my author rewards and curation rewards are faring. More because I treat this like a game and wanted to know how to play it well. :)
Status post for October 2022:

My previous post shows the following status for Novemeber 2022:

The following is the result for the month of December 2022.

If you have been following this far, the chart below which shows the consolidated data is the real deal of this post.

This is my in-depth analysis.
Clearly my Author rewards had increased multiple folds since October 2022. I thank my voters for that, I appreciate it!
Most interestingly, my Curation rewards also doubled in December. This is due to my powering up of Hive. No shame in that. Just letting my Hive do the work is the way.
What do I think I have done right?
- Powering up, of course.
- Finding the inner motivation to use Hive, i.e. writing posts that matters to myself, and writing often. Such as writing this post about reward analysis while insisting that reward is not what I am after! LOL! :)
- Making meaningful connections with fellow Hivers by supporting them.
- Using a dustsweeper so that the dust votes are not wasted.
- Keeping the tracking of progress going, such as this one.

P/S: This is not financial advice, and please do your own due diligence before investing.

Congrats on the growth! You cover a wide range of topics in your posts an they are informative. 2) is correct. I say it doesn't matter but I tend to put more time into Hive than what is justifiable in return. I think of Hive as my springboard. Hive generates ideas that are generating rewards off Blockchain.
Cheers, mate. Somewhere within the blue bar lies your support. !PIZZA

I ought to do the dust sweeper myself. Since I spend so much time 'curating' i.e. enjoying stories here !LOLZ, I typically just don't upvote comments. I've had a plan for when I will (once HP is a bit higher) but I always feel bad. I want to just upvote everything, I have an itchy finger 😂

Congratulations on that summary, it shows that you want to continue growing in this space, the second layer tokens can also help you to continue growing here
Thank you! I am curious if I can push it higher in the following months. So this small stock take is important. !PIZZA
You get some nasty good curation rewards, dayum! Kudos to that😎😎
I am a busy bee working in the Hive :)

Now that's great! We are only as strong as the weakest link 🔗😎😎💪
I also started my hive journey few days ago. My intention is to invest some money on hive and power up them. And support all new users. Glad to see you are slowly getting popular and achieve your goals. If a person makes a strategy and follows it, he will definitely succeed. Thanks for sharing your success with us.
Congratulations on starting Hive in the bear market. That’s advantageous.
I suggest you read some of my earlier posts to get some ideas. You are welcome to write a post to consolidate what you found from my previous posts.
I think that would be a nice learning experience. Feel free to tag me if you do.

Good steps and I am glad that you are learning how to make sure things aren't dusted. It takes some time to get used to things and have things work out.

Hey @cryptothesis. Happy New year! Are you happy with being included in my weekly activity group? The one I did in 2022 is over now and the one in 2023 will be including around 100 active accounts including 2x Orca Accounts.
Happy New Year! I am cool with that. Cheers! !PIZZA
Awesome. Cheers mate!
