Thoughts and income comparison on delegations to ocdb, curangel, dlease, and leo.voter.

For a few months now, I've been delegating HP via dlease, and to curangel, ocdb, and leo.voter. For 50 days (before I upped the delegation to leo.voter yesterday), the HP delegated was 10000 to each of the four.

The nice thing about this is that it's quite easy now to compare how well each as performed, financially. I say financially because there are other reasons why I delegate to some of the names above, and will continue to do so even in light of what is to come.

The data covers a 50 day period from the 20th November 2020 to the 9th January 2021.

This first table shows the daily liquid returns from each of the four delegates, the returns from leo.bounties is LEO, the rest are HIVE.

  • | - | - | - | - TOTALS | 236.55 | 125.591 | 117.87 | 103.209 (LEO)

The dlease delegation (to an account which I've checked the voting of and am quite happy they aren't abusing) is comfortably ahead of the curation services ocdb and curangel, but the 103 LEO rewarded for the 10k HP delegation to leo.voter looks ominous in light of recent price increases for LEO.

Using the close price on the 9th January, these are the total values of the tokens earned in $.

Delegate | HIVE/LEO | Yesterdays Close $

  • | - | - dlease | 236.55 | $31.850 ocdb | 125.591 | $16.910 curangel | 117.87 | $15.870 leo.bounties | 103.209 (LEO) | $51.270

Another approach would be to calculate the daily value in $ of each of the earnings - is someone sending the liquid straight to the exchanges doing better than the above?

Using the closing price of HIVE and wLEO (which is not exactly in line with LEO price and including a little fudge for the first 4 days as no data), here's how the daily earnings and totals look:

Interestingly, dlease earnings sold on the day they arrived would just outweigh the LEO earned, but this dlease total is almost $2 less than if the HIVE was held and sold yesterday, and over 20$ less than the LEO earnings if they were held and sold yesterday.

The short summary here is that it's been better to hold liquid (LEO) earned from these projects than to sell daily, and this may well prove to be the trend for the coming months also.


Why not delegate 40k to leo.voter and sack the rest off?

First, I have upped my HP delegation to leo.voter by 50%, and may well end the dlease delegation when it is next due for renewal. I will however be keeping the delegations in place to ocdb and curangel, even if the earnings don't compare to dlease or leo.voter.

The dlease delegation is mostly voting on established authors, or those that usually get a nice manual bump (maximising), and leo.voter is obviously voting only for content which is tagged with #leofinance.

This is cool, but what about newer authors and other content variety? Well, unless you think that most new users will come via leofinance (it isn't out of the question but unlikely imo), having HP delegated to accounts seeking good work by newer authors producing a wide variety of content feels important, especially when you are a bit lazy to go find them yourself.

Plenty of options and paths to take.

Cheers,

Asher
