I've made a little tool to quickly determine if you should Power up 100% or Split 50% HBD and 50% HP, and it's live right here.
Note that since this is hosted on a free Heroku dyno, it may go to sleep once in a while.
How it works
The code is very simple; it's a single flask app that serves an HTML file.
There is a single POST /calculate endpoint that returns a message. This message is shown to the user.
Getting the prices
We use Coingecko's free API to get the current price of HIVE and HBD in USD.
The formula to calculate profits
The formula for Split 50% HBD and 50% HP is:
(MULTIPLIER * 0.5) + ((MULTIPLIER * 0.5) / (hive_to_hbd_ratio))
And for Power up 100%:
MULTIPLIER / hive_to_hbd_ratio
MULTIPLIERis an arbitrary value - it's only used to show relative earningshive_to_hbd_ratiois calculated byhive_to_usd / hbd_to_usd
Caution!
Your payout is calculated after 7 days.
The inherent weakness of this calculator is that it uses CURRENT values to determine highest profitability. During times of market reversal, the profitability today may not be the same after 7 days.
This means that the best payout strategy today is not guaranteed to be the same on the day of payout!
Quick tip
The greater the difference between two payout strategies, the more reliable the prediction is.
If both strategies yield very similar profits (eg. a difference of only 5 cents), then use whatever strategy you want.
Thanks for reading till the end! If you find my tool useful, consider sharing this with your friends, let's all earn the most we possibly can!
Cheers!
