How to use the Hivestats tool to maximize the gains on the hive blockchain ?

The hive blockchain offers a number of communities and front ends which can be used by the a user to manage his web 3.0 experience.

Both Hive and leofinance.io are offering a great web 3.0 interface

Where leofinance.io specializes in giving a platform with focus on crypto, blockchain and financial information.

How all one can earn on hive and Leofinance ?

For you to earn from Hive, leofinance.io and a number of layer two based communities you need to have a account on the hive blockchain. If you do not already have then you can sign up here
Alternatively you can use the leofinance.io front end also to use your web 2.0 accounts like twitter and facebook to get your account created on the hive blockchain.

There are a couple of ways such as

• Content creation
• content curation
• Following a curation trail
• Delegating to a curation account
• Leasing out your hive power
  As a user posts and gets upvotes he/she would find that the reputation score that appears next to your user name increases.
  Checking your reputation or that of another account is one of the first reasons a user goes to https://hivestats.io/

Even though the reputation score is displayed in most cases next to the username
However the https://hivestats.io/ page gives a far more detailed information.
For example if I check https://hive.blog/@leofinance like the @leofinance account the top of any blog it shows a reputation of 75

However visiting https://hivestats.io/@leofinance
shows a more detailed reputation score of 75.5

How this matters ?

As your account grows on the hive blockchain so does your reputation

How much is the vote value of your Hive account ?

The value if vote that you can give on a post can be checked from here as well

This is very important to ensure that you can curate at the maximum vote value. The higher vote that you give the more comes back to you as curation.

Super important to see the time in which the vote value would reach 100%
Keeping this helps you manage your voting power which though gets replenished in a 24 hour window needs to be given some rest so that it does not get over drained and make your vote value too less.
Viewing the Full in - followed up by the time lets you do just that.

Curation is an important part of earning

The right side of the page displays the curation earned over a period of 7 or 30 days as well as the curation APR

It also gives a day by day break up for the days of the week for the seven day window.
This helps you view how you are doing curating content and for it has helped me understanding what value each post brings to the platform.

This helps to see how an account is performing? how are the rewards coming in terms of content creation and posting and by way of curation.

How much hive power you have ?

The hive power of your account can be by way of powering up hive tokens in addition it can be increased by receiving a delegation.

Similarly a user can give out or delegate his power to another account.
All this information about an account can be viewed from
https://hivestats.io/@username where @username is the accounts usersname

All this information can be checked from account stats

Why account stats matter?

This is a good place to see the snapshot of how an account is stacked in terms of numbers.
Looking at an account that is doing well in terms of content creation or curation helps you understand the strategy adopted by the account holder.

The analytics is a good place to see account growth and activity.

Be it for 7 days or 30 days you get to see the earning by way of posting as well as curation.

The wallet tells a lot of information

Pending Author Rewards & Pending Curation Rewards

Both parameters provide great insights into the strategy deployed by a account towards curation and content creation.

How much layer 2 tokens does an account accumulated ?

A user not only receives and earns Hive by way of getting upvotes he also gets layer 2 tokens depending upon the keywords used.

Thus if a person scrolls down to the "Hive Engine Tokens" section one can see the number of tokens held and staked.
This gives insights as to what communities a user is post to and how he is able to earn rewards not only in hive but also in these layer 2 tokens.
Watching how these layer 2 tokens are actively rewarding the users and their growth can help a user come up with his own strategy to choose the right and the most profitable communities to post in which provide maximum interaction and rewards.
