Not At My Computer As Much This Week!

This was a week of doing the best I could which wasn't great but not horrible either.

Dad had his last steroid infusion for his eyes on Tuesday and on Wednesday we did some grocery shopping and I met a friend for lunch. Thursday and yesterday I was at the offline gig. Neither day was particularly crazy but still busy enough. Trying to get people in to sign off on and pick up their taxes. We will be getting ours done by an Accountant next year. I plan on being very organized throughout the year to make that process as easy and painless as possible.

I was pretty wiped out yesterday when I got home. I did a couple of things online but I mostly just chilled out for the evening. That means playing a bit of catch up today.

Really Happy I Made it To Watch Thursday Night Live!

Jon and Blain gave away prizes to those of us who made it to watch the live stream. Mine are up there in the header image. And we got to watch some CHAOS pack openings by Blain.

I am always happy when I am able to make the time to watch the livestreams. Always beneficial to show up because there is always something to learn.

Now This Week's Updates!

I wasn't claiming and staking tokens everyday this week. But I still did okay and I am continuing to move forward on my goals. That is the most important part for me. And as I read emails in List Nerds I am saving links to the blog posts that I want to comment on so I don't forget to do that when I have the time. So looking forward to being on my regular schedule again. The extra money is helping out but I really like having more control over my schedule.

Starting with My Hive Power Progress This Week

I am growing my Hive stake mostly by claiming the rewards I am getting from curation and the posts I do once a week.

My staked Hive Tokens as of today, 4/9

Yes, it's getting closer to the 5000 HP Dolphin Status. Only 387.897 HP left to get there. 92.24% One of the things I like about this is that I can upvote more posts and my resource credits and voting mana don't get used up as quickly. I did my curation earlier today so they should be regenerated by the time I am ready to upvote again tomorrow.

Buying Power Was Pretty Good This Week!

I had some money in my Brave Browser account to trade for Litecoin and then to trade for Hive. Between my weekly Litecoin buy on Coinbase and what I got from Uphold I had 15.515 Hive to send to Swap.Hive.

I use HivePay Swap whenever possible to deposit my Hive into Hive Engine. After the very small fee I had 15.484 Swap.Hive. I had almost a full Hive, 0.95022068, to be precise. So with that I have 16.43422068. That is before I went through my Hive Engine Wallet to trade some other tokens for more Swap.Hive.

After selling off some more tokens in my wallet I had 17.4811381 Hive to spend this week.

Bought HE-Index, LISTNERDS and Some More CTP tokens

Bought 14 More Index @ 0.6 Hive each because I wanted to make sure the purchase would go right through. I now have 1,424.70989537 HE-Index

Only

away from my next goal of 1500 HE-Index.

I bought and staked the LISTNERDs tokens right on ListNerds to increase my stake and to see if I could win 5 more LISTNERDs using the Chances feature on the site.

Staked the 5 New LISTNERDS so that I could go here

to try and win 5 more

Clicked on the big blue button and it took me here to the Nerds

I clicked on the blue one, I think. I don't remember. In any case:

It's okay though because I didn't lose any of the LISTNERDs I bought and staked. This was just a chance to double my LISTNERDS.

ListNerds Staked List Nerds Total as of 4/2: 530.454

4/3 Claimed and staked: 10.299 New total: 540.753 2nd email I opened today was a Gold Shaky and I won 10 more ListNerds so New total: 550.753

Added 80.529 LISTNERDS this week for an increase of 15.18% from last week.

389.017 LISTNERDS left or 61% of my 1000 LISTNERDS goal.

CTP Power on List Nerds Total as of 4/2: 11,654.868

4/3 Claimed and staked: 8.907 New total: 11,663.775 Started opening emails and the 2nd one I opened was a Gold Shaky Prize. Won 10 More CTP tokens So New total is: 11,673.775

Increase of 107.377 CTP tokens on ListNerds which translates to a 0.92% increase of CTP Power on ListNerds. My voting power is 10,489/100. Right now I can vote on 419 more emails. I won't run out of votes.

CTP Power on CTPtalk:
Total as of 4/2: 45035.344

4/3 Claimed and staked: 112.63 New total: 45147.974 4/4 N/A 4/5 Claimed and staked: 38.547 New total: 45186.521 4/6 Claimed and staked 0.005 New total: 45186.526 4/9 Claimed and staked 71.501 New total: 45258.027
After buying the HE-Index and LISTNERDS I had 1.24381581 Swap.Hive left. So I bought another 70.782 and staked them. New total: 45328.899
Again, I chose to pay a little more than the lowest asking price to push the purchase through right away.

Increased my CTP Power on CTPtalk.com by 293.555 tokens A small percentage increase of 0.65% puts me at 4, 671.101 CTP away from 50K or 90.65% of 50K CTP

So That's Pretty Much All This Time!

Not a bad week for being away for a large chunk of time. This next week I will have some more time to spend at my computer so I will be doing more online work. As it is now, my last day at the offline gig is this coming Thursday.

Now I am off to put some time into another project I am working on.

Have a great rest of the weekend and enjoy the week ahead as well.
