We know that @Leofinance changed its curation system. There is an official announcement from the team highlighting the importance of the system and how it would benefit manual curators by giving them the right and justified amount of benefit that they are entitled to for their effort.

Do you think 500 LP is a big stake? If you think this is not much then let me tell you how much Leo I managed to earn from curation alone using that Leo power.

For the simplicity in calculation, I have not included the compounding return If I chose to stake all daily Leo/Hive rewards I received.

Let's see.

Leo

Today, on October 19, 2020 I earned 0.59 liquid Leo in total from manual curation. I voted 10 articles with 100% vote power and received 50% of the curation rewards based on my engagement and upvotes. That is 36% in Annualized Rate of Return (ARR). With this rate, I will earn around 18 Leo per month.

Total Leo per day - 0.59
Total Leo per month - 18 ARR - 36%

Hive

Let’s compare this with Hive where there still is a curation reward system where the timing of upvotes matter. I have 410 effective HP on Hive and that is almost similar to my Leopower. So, it makes an interesting comparison. I earned 0.15 HP from manual curation on Hive which equals to 4.5 Hive in a month with 12.22% ARR.

Total Hive per day - 0.15 Total Hive per month - 4.5 ARR-12.22%

You can clearly see how the difference in type of curation impacts your daily earnings on two platforms. With the new flat linear curation system, I don't need to worry about the timing of the upvotes and hassle in thinking how to beat others to land that big curation pay.
