Yesterday I was wondering how many SBI units I would need to maintain a 5HBD vote value, and I think I found the answer, at least directional-ally ( I think that's a word).

I'm assuming still that 1USD is always HBD in the world of Hive, so the answer is I need 25000 SBI units!
That's a lot more than I was expecting to need, but it makes sense.
The answer came over from the SBI discord where someone asked how much they would need for a daily 1USD vote, and that number was 5000 units.
So do I have a plan?
Not yet.
After the contest in November I will have a much better idea of how fast my vote balance updates and from there I can determine if the monthly contest route will be interesting to people. I have seen contests that are only giving out 5SBI with a lot more effort to join in than the way that my contests are structured, so that shouldn't be a problem
My goal may be to maintain a HP balance that will give me a 0.01SBD vote value and then power down everything else to get more units. I will make a lot more in author awards with those units that I will in curation.
HP question
I think I know the answer to this, but...
When I delegate HP to another account, say the HBI bonus units, that value stays the same but still counts for the accrual of HP with the APR% that the witnesses decide on, right?
This is another question that I used to know the answer to, and wish there was a hive wiki that would be maintained so I could look it up rather than asking the community every time.
