Alright so this would be a slightly different post on finance. Instead of sharing what is going on around the world, I would wish to talk more about what is happening something closer to us, in PeakD.

So if you have been following me, you would realise that recently I am trying my best to let me assets and resources work for me. For tokens, we have curators and delegating to them grants you extra tokens.

However today, I would wish to talk about something else, slightly different. Now recently, I tried to perform delegations through Hive Power (HP).

How Does It Work?

So, by delegating your Hive Power (HP) to specific account, in return you get some perks such as curation/upvotes, tokens and or liquid Hive daily.

Now this is a snapshot of my HP delegations.

Personally, my favourite right now I would say to be @indiaunited as well as @hive.pizza .

Now for just 101HP delegated, @hive.pizza provides me with around 0.5 pizza tokens. Who doesn't like pizzas right? Haha.

Now for @indiaunited, I would say they provide a really good ROI. With just 100 HP delegated, I am receiving around 0.026 Hive a day. Pretty sound in my opinion.

My Mistake

So I wanted to increase my HP delegation to @indiaunited, from 100 HP to 150HP. So what I though would be, just delegate another 50 HP on top of the 100 HP that I have already delegated. Just stack it up right? But nope, wrong....

So what happen is, they remove/expire the previous 100 HP delegations, and substituted it with my existing 50 HP delegation.

Lesson Learnt

So now the lesson learnt is, if I were to increase my delegations, I would have to assign the number that I want, while the previous delegation get refunded back to me. Meaning, I would need more HP capital. Why? Cause I would need to have the amount of HP that I wanted to add on, on top of the existing delegation (capital) that I already delegated.

I hope this post would be helpful for new users as they begin to delegate their HP for more ROI in the future.
