Targeting Dolphin Status
Dolphin Status may still be a ways away but every week if I can add to my Hive Power will get me just a little closer to that goal. I know it is just a new title with no additional benefits but it does give me something to aim for.
Even though I might not reach it this year, I am not just going to give up trying to do as best I can this year, I will continue to post and do as good as I can to make progress toward that goal.
To achieve Dolphin status you must have 10,000,000 Vests.
I currently have 6,520,021 from 6,506,447 Vests in last report. This is an increase of 13,574 Vests up from last week reported, so still like 3,479,979 Vests.
Activity on the Hive blockchain while earning Hive translates into Vests. I am not very knowledgeable about how the back blockchain calculations regarding Hive Power or Vests work but only know that I need to target 10,000,000 Vests points to advance to the Dolphin status.
I thought in the last week I had made better progress than that but I guess I didn't. The numbers are what they are and I can only go with what they are telling me.
I discovered the Hive Engine lease board yesterday and leased out some of my Hive Power around 15% APR. I am hoping this will help me get closer to my Dolphin status goal. I am currently getting slightly under 8% on Hive Power curation. The lease of 1000 will bring in almost double what I was getting on curation.
Hive and HBD Accumulation
Last week I changed the format of my progress update posting to not be as granular in all the detail. I will continue with the higher level post and just report my current amounts.
Today's Hive Balance:
Liquid Hive - 34.984
Staked Hive - 3924.178 of which 1106.837 is delegated
- 1000 Hive Power leased out at 15.01% APR for 4 weeks
Liquid HBD - 13.392
Staked HBD (Savings) - 130.883
(Staked HBD earned Interest - 0.219)
I did add 12 HBD to my HBD savings to take advantage of the 15% APR savings rate as well. I don't yet have very much in HBD savings so want to get it at a much higher level. If I find more great APR on the Hive Engine HP lease board, I may decide to take advantage of that as well.

I think tracking my ranking will also be of value when measuring my progress. I am currently ranked 2749 from 2749 holder of Hive Power staying in the same position in the ranking. By tracking this metric, I am hoping to move up in the ranking each and every week.
Even though I did not move up places in the ranking than I still added to my balance. As I get higher in the rankings, it will be more difficult to pass others. My assumption is that people with a higher ranking are more active thus earning around the same that I am earning thus making it harder to move up.

Alive Target
I have been able to grow my Alive but not my AliveM balance this week. I traded (bought) some Alive as the market was looking a little light in the buy orders. By doing this, I am hoping to support the Alive token.
I staked an additional 100 Alive tokens since last week. I am debating if I should stake my liquid balance or add additional buy/sell orders to the Alive market.
