The Leo Power Up day announcement has certainly created a bit of buzz around the place. The initial post has had 660 upvotes, 59 reblogs and 89 comments ! And I've seen a ton of other posts talking about it since.

I think its a great initiative. I discovered Hive back at the end of Nov 21, and only really started picking up on Leo and Leofinance in the last 4-6 weeks. To date I have 104 LEO - so getting another 200 for the 15th of June will be a challenge for me.

[Thats Rouen Cathederal by the way, taken when we visited a few years back - I had to do something to pretty this post up !]

However, I'm up for a challenge. The 20k Leo power delegation would be amazing, however, I think there will a ton of entries for it, so individual chances will be low. However, if I can manage to power up 200 LEO a month for say the next year, that alone is worth it.

The daily staking benefit from having 2500 LEO within a year would be quite nice, so its a good incentive to do it just for that.

[Might as well stick with cathedrals - thats Florence Cathedral - taken on my honeymoon back in 2006]

So I've accepted this challenge and heres the plan:

  1. The LEO I have was staked to @leo-curator in Hive Engine anyway, which pays me daily in LEO - so that will remain there, and be income stream 1, and it will grow each month on power up day,
  2. I'll move whatever Hive Power I can to @leo-voter for a second daily income paid out in LEO. I'll be able to start with ~360HP, and then any other HP I generate from now will be added - LEO income stream 2,
  3. I havent used the LeoFinance interface as much as I could have. For example, even this morning, I had a comment on a post I made using the interface, that I replied to using hive blog (!) - so I'll get smarter and more active using the interface - income stream 3,
  4. I have some other layer 2 tokens staked that also provide some LEO payouts (COM, INDEX, LOLZ and PIMP - I may need to confirm the INDEX and PIMP payouts) - I'll keep this in place, and grow them if its helping, but to be honest I think these are going to be very small beer for me - income stream 4,
  5. Enter any relevant LEO competitions and giveaways that might help, eg, I already enter a few related to Rising Star that also give out a LEO payment, if you win, as long as you comment from Leofinance - income stream 5,
  6. Buy any other LEO I need for power up day to fill the gap, from Hive Engine - luckily I have enough liquid HIVE to manage this for a few months. Income stream 6.

I'd rather being achieving the 200 LEO needed from items 1-5, but thats not even remotely feasible for me at the moment (I took me 6 months to get 104 LEO !), however, I can see that items 1-3 will make a difference over time.

Putting 200 LEO away each month, and then delegating it will soon give a much needed boost to my daily LEO payouts, as will increasing my HP delegation - so those along with working on my LeoFinance interaction should hopefully start helping to fill the gap.

So what about you ? Are you going for it ? Is there anything else you are planning to do to get you there ?

Its exciting times at Leofinance, and lets hope this also helps to improve the LEO price - if it does, that will be another major incentive for getting involved !

All the best - and one more cathedral (St Mary's, here in Edinburgh):
