Ohhh, buckle up buttercup, because we’re diving into the wild, rewarding jungle of Hive with a side of sarcasm, hustle, and more passion than a motivational speaker on double espresso. Let’s talk about a little side project I cooked up between meetings, coffee breaks, and the 147 tabs I always have open: HiveEarnings. Yeah, that’s right! I built a thing. And it’s slick.
🧠 The “Why” Behind the Madness
You ever look at your Hive delegations and go, “Wait... I’m still supporting THAT project?!” Yeah, me too. Like finding out you’ve been paying for a gym membership since 2018 and the gym turned into a vape shop in 2020 (-> True Story!).
So I did what any normal, over-caffeinated tech nerd would do: I wrote a script. Because spreadsheets are cute but I like my data served hot, real-time, and with ROI calculations baked in. Add in a conversation with the always-awesome @tydynrain who threw some fuel on the fire with killer feedback and, boom: HiveEarnings became a webtool.
💻 What Does It Do?
Simple. You give it your Hive account, log in via Hive Keychain (because yes, we love security), and tell it how many days of earnings you want to check. Then, poof! It spits out a gorgeous summary of:
- 💬 Your Hive/HBD income from posts and comments
- 🧠 Your curation rewards (yes, passive income is sexy)
- 💸 All incoming transfers (even the suspiciously small ones from mysterious usernames like
bee.drone) - 📈 ROI calculations based on your delegations
Like a financial analyst… but one that doesn’t ask for your social security number.
📊 Example: My Last 30 Days
Wanna see what this thing spits out? Here's my 30-day summary (yeah, I’m flexing a bit):
Posts & Comments:
- HP: 231.525
- HBD: 37.393
- HIVE: 0.000 (Zero. Nada. Let that sink in.)
Curation Rewards:
- HP: 16.499 (Not bad for being picky with that upvote button)
Transfers:
- Total HIVE: 131.660
- Total HBD: 1.097
And some micro-transactions:
actifit.pay: 0.929 HIVEaliveandsocial: 0.174 HIVEarmero: 0.020 HIVEbee.drone: 0.066 HIVE
Yes, even the Hive bees are tipping now. 🐝
🚀 What’s Next?
You think I’m done? Pfft. This is just the MVP, baby. The tool is Layer 1 only for now. But I’m already working on integrating Layer 2 income, because, let’s face it, the real Hive hustlers are stacking gains across layers like it’s DeFi Jenga.
Coming soon:
- 🧠 Smarter insights (AI-driven maybe? 👀)
- 📊 Delegation optimization tips (NOT financial advice, unless your lawyer is also on Hive)
- 🧙♂️ Possibly even some magic UI sparkle just for you
🧢 Under the MMB Umbrella
This tool fits perfectly under our @mmbbot (Maximum Mutual Benefit) umbrella, because we’re not just about building tools, we’re about building empire-grade gear for blockchain creators and investors.
If you’re delegating blindly or leaving Hive income on the table… well, let’s just say: don’t be that guy.
🔥 TL;DR - For the Attention-Span Challenged
- I built a Hive earnings web app
- It tracks income, curation, transfers & delegations
- It calculates your delegation ROI (hallelujah!)
- It’s expanding to Layer 2 soon
- It’s part of the MMB ecosystem

Ahh, perfect. Just when I thought this post couldn’t get any more packed with value, you drop the MMB truth bomb: Maximum Mutual Benefit, baby. Not just a cute acronym, but a philosophy — the idea that if we all play this right, everyone wins. Radical concept, I know.
Let’s plug in that sweet delegation alpha and crank this post up to “shut up and take my HP” levels. Here's the revised version with a spicy nod to @indeedly baked in:
🧢 Under the MMB Umbrella (Now With More Mutual, More Benefit)
This tool fits perfectly under our MMB umbrella — Maximum Mutual Benefit. We’re not just building tools for solo glory. We’re building an ecosystem where collaboration leads to compounding wins.
And speaking of win-wins… let’s talk @indeedly.
🧠 Why Delegate to @indeedly?
Because it's not just sitting there flexing your HP in the mirror, it’s putting it to work. Here’s what @indeedly brings to the table:
- ✅ Actively upvotes for holders - yep, actual utility for holding the token.
- ✅ Shares back a growing cut of curation rewards - passive income with purpose.
- ✅ All of it, fully aligned under the MMB movement.
So if you're delegating to ghost-town projects or "hope and vibes" DAOs, maybe it's time to get a little more Indeed-ly with your delegation strategy. Just saying…
💡 Hot Tip:
Once you run your HiveEarnings report and see where your delegations are going…
Ask yourself: “Is this delegation still working for me, or am I just emotionally attached?”
(If that hit too close to home… good!)
You’ve got HP. You’ve got the tools. You’ve got options.
Now go optimize, delegate like a legend, and put your stake where the strategy is.

Then consider reallocating some of that dusty delegation to @indeedly. You’ll thank yourself later.
Stay hungry. Stay curious. Delegate smarter.
And as always, back in my day we had to track this stuff with a notepad and dial-up internet…
