Curation rewards / Leased SP

Since my arrival on Steem in February this year, I've seen so many changes on the platform. I guess this is the nature of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. It's so volatile yet so exciting. Since HF21 and the 50/50 reward split, I decided to actively seek out leased SP on dlease.io to see if I could turn over a profit. Here are the transfers I've made to @minnowbooster since I've been on the platform:

According to @steemworld, my all time curation rewards is 626.13 SP.
I'm currently down -50.946 SP. Perhaps this has largely been due to my crappy efficiency when voting. Let's see if I can bring in back into positives again! A lot of my leases have run out or are close to expiring so I'll be placing more orders on the market today. I have another account, @teamstraya, which is leasing SP and trailing @centerlink as a curation profit test. I will report on that separately when the lease has expired.

Memo transfers

Have you ever wondered how much memo STEEM/SBD (0.001) is transferred in a day? I have, so I decided to gather some data on it in a 24-hour period (Dec 9-10).

The total amount of STEEM transferred: 4.316 STEEM
The total amount of SBD transferred: 0.224 SBD

Some notable accounts for sending STEEM memos:

I had actually envisaged the amount of STEEM/SBD sent as memo transfers would be much higher than that. Of course, this is only for a single isolated day and much more data would be needed to get a better idea overall. Perhaps someone with access to @steemsql could find out much faster!

Hope this was mildly interesting for your Sunday Steem reading :)
I'd love to know if you are leasing SP and if you're making some good returns. Please let me know in the comments if you'd like to share.

Yours truly,
@contrabourdon

Well I'm down ~51 STEEM, so let's see if I can bring that into the positives! I'll report back again.

I've been delegating to @dlease for a while. I wonder what is more profitable - leasing SP or delegating?

You need to do a test, perhaps like this:

  1. Delegate 2000 SP to another account and curate with it
  2. Lease 2000 SP via dlease.io for say 8 weeks

Then after 8 weeks, see what has a better ROI.

Probably not, but I'm a simple man :P I did the calculation in really, really simple terms...

Let's hope I can at least break even. Thanks for stopping by.
