Luckily I've been engaging and posting in OneUp front end since it's early days and since I'm mostly posting about gaming, it became my Go-to place to creating contents.

As time goes on during my journey into the hive ecosystems, I've been getting into the financial side of it.

Maybe gaming and finance doesn't cross over in our every day life, but Cryptos and Hive Blockchain makes it possible via Play2Earn and ProofOfBrain.

Before the Passive: The Active Earning

Using the #oneup front end and tag to post about blockchain games either on Hive (Like splinterlands) or elsewhere (Like Axie Infinity/Gods Unchained) and also the financial side of the 1UP Token including Diesel Pools or the maths behind the rewards.

How I did the maths

I've made these calculations a month ago, I'm sharing this to show that you need 717 1UP staked to have a Voting Power of 1 1UP

This means that:

• You won't need a huge amount of staked 1UP to earn decent curation rewards. Check @uyobong post on how he earned $90 curation rewards from "only" staking 10 000 ONEUP
• Same goes for upvotes received from Curators by writing decent contents, here is an example of one of my most upvoted posts:

That's an estimated value of my earnings from a single post and we'll go next to what I did to those profits (Not selling ofc)

Keep in mind the newly announced @oneup-curator with a maximum voting power at around 400 1UP.

1UP Passive Income

95% of my 1UP earnings are from posting rewards and the 5% from buying/giveaways, I'm not letting my 1UP tokens sitting idly but Im putting them to work for me:

Oneup-curator delegation

So I've delegated 1000 1UP to @oneup-curator since it launched and here's a look at my earnings since then:

As you can see, the rewards are fluctuating depending on the posts curated 7 days ago, so I can conclude that on average I'm receiving passively:

3 ONEUP/day/1000 ONEUP delegated

Delegation rewards are pumping up during these last few days, maybe because of the increased activity of oneupcurator so maybe I can expect a higher average at 4-5 ONEUP/day

Diesel Pools

ONEUP pools are the most profitable and juicy pools at the moment with APR over 300% and I do keep talking about them during my last posts.

I'm in 2 Pools:

• ONEUP/SPT by pooling both my SPT rewards from splintertalk.io and ONEUP
• SWAP.HIVE/ONEUP by pooling my Hive from curations and ONEUP

I'm earning from Diesel Pools a whopping:

51.7 ONEUP/Day

But this is NOT risk-free! There is always the risk of impermanent loss, moreover, these pools won't last forever as you may notice, there are 20 days left for the rewards to end.

So for the sake of comparison: if we estimate I'm having 2345 ONEUP delegated, my daily rewards sould be at around 7 ONEUP/day, still 7 times less than Diesel Pools.

I always want to increase my passive income either by:

• compounding my earning
• Active earning through posting and curating.

I'm showcasting my results and that's not by any mean a financial advise! Do your own research!

Maybe Flauwy can enlight us about the possible extension of these pools or a replacement by other pools like the hinted 1UP/LEO pool!

I'm considering getting some CARTEL tokens (at least 5) since they will provide passive incomes as well as being a solid project from @flauwy. Check out more info here
