View from Manchester Art Gallery, Mosley Street, Manchester. I was impressed with the trams. The Gallery had a lovely Cafe, full of people chattering - and a communal chattering table if you wanted to talk to other people - there was something very old-fashioned and Lyons tearoom about it.
Weekly Savings Round-Up
Hive Engagement and Adjusting Delegations
Is commenting on Hive dead? asks @spinvest about the level - or lack - of engagement on posts. There were some interesting responses, I'd been noticing the decrease in posting and that I wasn't using all my voting power.
I've made a few changes this week: increased delegations to curation trails taking my effective VP back to the Orca threshold, and increasing the voting percentages on my auto-votes.
I'll check how that goes for a week or two and adjust as necessary.
DCA-ing HIVE
I'm also DCA-buying HIVE while it is so low to build my kitty for selling later in the cycle, probably twelve to eighteen months from now. The sensible thing would be to DCA out as well, and it would fit with the 13 week power-down, so maybe I'll get around to that, too.
HSBI update
HSBI is running pretty much back to normal, except for being able to see your balances on PeakD and the website. You can pull your balances any time by using the @ sbi status command (without the gap between @ and sbi) on any post or comment.
@eds-vote delegations
Looks like @eds-vote is stabilising at just under 320,000 HP at 319,686 for the second week running! Even without the SPI 100k kitty, this is still 220k of delegations. 😁

Progress
- EDS, EDS-VOTE, EDSD - Everything going well here, @eds-vote sitting at just under 320,000 HP, lots from Saturday Savers which is fabulous to see. We've also set up a curation trail for eds-vote which supports Savers so a nice circular economy. I'm buying EDSD with my earnings from my side-hustle and posting, and I've decided to track EDSD acquisitions each week. (More about side-hustles).

What's New
Mainly catching up with myself this week and putting everything in place to wind down for the summer break (I'm planning to take the school holidays off this year). It is blowing a gale here - wet and windy - although mild. Ideal for what I'm doing which is spring cleaning.
Have a good week everyone!
