Hello! Welcome to my blog. This is task 6 in the newbies initiative, it is all about hive effeciency tools. I am doing this task with my partner @lizizoo.

We had our meeting last week Sunday, where @olujay explained some of the hive efficiency tools to us and as a result of that some questions were tended to us in order to know how well we understood all that he taught us.

Let's look at these questions...

Question 1: Explain why it is important for you to track and monitor your progress on hive.


Just like every other investment you make, it is very important to track and monitor your progress in order for you to know how well you are doing. Sometimes you might be lacking behind without knowing it but if you are always tracking and monitoring your investment you would discover an area where you need to do better in and start doing better.

Question 2: Find your account on "hivebuzz" and show a screenshot of your profile. Hence explain what your marine character means and what the six digits number about you means.

My marine character is red fish. The six digits shows the commitment level of my account to the hive ecosystem which the red fish represents. The red fish can also mean a beginners level.

Question 3: Find the lazy panda trail and follow it. Customize the trail according to weight, method, and wait time as desired. Then enable the trail if you really want to be part of it. Show screenshot.

Using hive.vote, go to your chrome and search for hive.vote and scroll down to login.

Don't forget to save your settings.

Question 4:Find your profile on Hivestats, and then provide details on your effective HP, author and curation rewards in the last seven days. Then, explain what they each mean and tell you about your account.

This is my profile on hivestats.io

What this means is that...

• My effective hp is 445.33 which is currently functioning.

• Author's reward is the rewards I get from publishing a post.

• Curation reward is reward I received from commenting and upvoting other writers post.

In the last 7days I haven't really been active. These tells me how active my account has been.

Question 5: Configure and setup F.R.I.D.A.Y to give you notifications. Provide a step by step explanation with screenshots.

I know must of you don't know what F.R.I.D.A.Y is, it is a bit on discord that gives notifications about your hive account and activities on discord such as comments, mention, upvotes e.t.c.

To configure and setup F.R.I.D.A.Y, I will be using the link provided by @olujay during our meeting on discord.

I followed a curation trail but I don’t ever see rewards from curating when I’m not active here. Can you explain why?

Can you make your question more clear?
I might assist you

I followed a curation trail but I never see HP waiting to be claimed on my wallet whenever I’m not actively voting myself. Is it possible that I am not following the trail or the rewards are automatic?

Ok listen whenever you curate, you get a 50% curation reward and it also depends on how old the post is which you have curated.
It is not like if you have a very low vote power and you will get much hp in return for curation. There is not so much on hive if you are looking only for money, engage more and grow more and you will see some positive changes ✨

You might be getting very low curation rewards because you don't have much in your wallet. Look deeper, you will see some in 0.something there

I totally understand the concept of curation and rewards. I am asking as regards to following a trail as I can not determine if I am really following the trail. My vote power never reduces whenever I am offline, and I am certain the trail is actively curating content.

So the logical explanation is that it is possible the I am not following the trail even though I am certain I clicked on “follow”. You certainly are following a trail for curation rewards, so no, I’m not only here for the rewards. I asked for clarity on how curation rewards are seen when you follow a trail. Do you accept it like you accept your rewards for manual curation or is it added automatically to your wallet. It’s a simple question.

look deeper

And that's what I am answering to
You get your 50% of rewards and if you have a minimum vote power then it might be very low or equal to nothing. If you are sure that you are following some trail

Awesome that answers my question. Thanks

You are welcome 🤗

If you are following a trail you would definitely get 50% of what you have voted. Simply use Hivestats and check, it will show you all your curation reward in the last 7 days and more.

So it is possible that I am following the trail but the value of my vote is very minimal to get rewarded right?

Yeah! Half of what you voted.

Hey, @threedotz.

I am not sure if you got the answer to your question already, but I hope this helps, in case you didn't:

I think the problem that you are not getting curation rewards with the curation trail(s) you follow is that your mana is stuck around your voting threshold on hive.vote. And when it is stuck around there, you may not get curation rewards like you may expect to. You need to adjust the weight you set for the trail(s) to allow your mana heal at certain points. To know how to do that, and more things like customising the settings for each curation trail, peruse this part of this content that talks about hive.vote: Hive Efficiency Tools: A Newbie's Guide to Tracking and Optimizing Growth or this live session, Newbies Initiative

This makes a lot of sense! Yes my voting weight was set to the barest minimum to protect my VP. I’ll adjust that now and see how it goes!!

Well done ginika
You explained every step very well ❤️‍🩹

Thank you!

You did excellent. This is amazing.

Your steps are so clear that even someone with no prior knowledge can understand

Well done.

Thank you Liz. You actually helped me out, thank you.

You really did a great justice to these steps. Very explanatory and clear.

Well done ma’am 👍

Thank you!

You did justice to your post here, and for the F.R.I D.A.Y I love the tutorial you gave, it is so easy to understand.

Meanwhile when following any curations trail make sure you do not set your voting HP at 100 percent so it won't go down the way you don't want it.

Weldone and good job.
