Splinterlands: New Focus Daily Quests: Examples and Considerations ***Cover Image****: Logo Splinterlands and Character image owned by Splinterlands - Edit by @libertycrypto27 - Font used is Open Source* New Focus Daily Quests, Focus Points, Change to ECR Consumption: Examples and Considerations Yesterday, July 21, 2022, **important changes** were introduced to the **Ranked Rewards** mechanism: - 14 new types of Daily Focus missions were introduced - the mechanism for awarding Focus points was modified - the Energy Capture Rate (ECR) consumption mechanism has been modified - the possible content found within chests has been modified New Daily Focus Quests Before the recent changes, Daily Focus Quests could only be of 6 types: - Fire Focus - Water Focus - Death Focus - Life Focus - Earth Focus - Dragon Focus Now, to the Focus Daily missions I listed above, **14 new missions have been added based on card abilities** instead of card elements. In the image below you can see all 14 new daily focus quests. Each of the 14 new quests incentivizes the player to use cards that have certain abilities in battle: - **Anti-Magic**: Void, Phase, Void Armor. - **Disable**: Piercing, Stun - **Reflect**: Backfire, Return Fire, Magic Reflect - **Exploits**: Oppress, Giant Killer, Deathblow - **Stealth**: Sneak, Snipe, Opportunity - **Fatalities**: Bloodlust, Life Leech, Redemption, Scavenger - **Anti-Melee**: Thorns, Retaliate - **Healing**: Tank Heal, Heal, Cleanse, Triage - **Buffs**: Swiftness, Inspire, Protect, Strengthen - **Allments**: Poison, Affliction, Weaken - **Defend**: Shield, Repair - **Impair**: Demoralize, Silence, Headwinds, Blinds. - **Nullify**: Shatter, Cripple, Dispel - **Flying**: Fly Modification to the Focus Points attribution mechanism Yesterday, July 21, the mechanism for attribution of Focus Points was also changed. Previously, in order to earn Focus points useful for obtaining daily rewards (chests), it was necessary to use only summoners of the element indicated by the Focus Daily. While this requirement incentivized players to improve the battle strength of the card collection in a balanced way by buying and upgrading cards of all elements on the other hand it introduced some monotony into the daily game sessions. I, for example, used to use mainly only the cards of the element indicated by the focus daily even though I was well know that using cards of another element would make it easier for me to achieve victory in battle and would achieve a better win rate. Now **all cards of any element contribute to gaining focus points** even if they do not comply with the Focus Daily quest theme. Obviously **using cards that respect the theme of the daily quest allows the player to earn more focus points and rewards points** but now the player has more freedom in strategic game choices and can earn focus points for each battle won. A practical example: two battles, two different rewards! To show in a practical way the effect of the new change to the attribution of Focus Points, I deliberately played two battles: - in the **first battle** I did not respect the daily mission theme - in the **second battle** I tried to use as many cards relevant to the daily mission as possible. My current **Daily focus** is **DRAGON**, which means that if I use Dragon element cards in a battle and win the battle I get more Focus points and Season points for each Dragon element card I used. **In the first battle I did not use dragon element cards.** I used the water element summoner **Alric Stormbringer** and used 5 water element cards and one neutral element card. Before the start of the battle I had: - a **rating** score of **3002** points - an **ECR** of **70.06%**. I won the battle and even though I did not use dragon element cards I earned an equal amount of Season Points and **Focus Points**. From the battle victory I gained: - **25336 Season Points** - **25336 Focus Points** - 9,386 DEC tokens - 28 rating points In the **second battle** I tried to meet the condition of my Focus Daily and used four out of seven cards of the dragon element: - one Dragon element summoner (**Daria Dragonscale**) - three monster cards of the Dragon element (**Gold Dragon, Fiendish Harpy** and **Manticore**). The battle is not at all interesting strategically because my opponent literally committed suicide by deploying only one card but what matters for the purposes of my post today is the reward received from the battle won. Before the battle began I had: - a **rating** of **3010** points - an **ECR** of **69.05%**. Thanks to the use of 4 dragon element cards out of a total of 7 I got as a reward: - **32786 Season Points** - **32786 Focus Points** - 12,194 DEC tokens - +24 rating points In the second battle I obtained **7450 more Reward Points** than in the first battle and would have obtained even more Reward Points if I had used only dragon element cards. Modification to the Energy Capture Rate The third change concerns **the Energy Capture Rate (ECR)** consumption rate. The ECR is an important element in the calculation of reward points because with all other elements being equal (rating score, % starting cards, ...) **the higher the ECR, the higher the number of reward points earned from each battle won**. Before the recent change, ECR decreased by 1% for each battle won or lost. As of yesterday, July 21, 2022: - **the ECR decreases by 1% when its value is greater than 50%**. - **the ECR decreases by 5% only for each battle won when its value is less than 50%**. **So going below a percentage value of 50% ECR is definitely not worthwhile!** Modification to the contents of the Chests The latest change concerns the **content of the chests**. Before yesterday, July 21, 2021, a single chest could contain: - 1 Reward edition card - a certain amount of DEC tokens - 1 single potion (alchemical or legendary) - 1 pack of Chaos Legion cards. **Now within a single chest it is possible to find**: - **1 card** from the Reward edition - a certain amount of **DEC tokens** - a certain amount of **potions** (it is possible to find a multiple amount of alchemical or legendary potions) - a certain amount of **MERIT**S. MERITs tokens are expendable in the shop section of Splinterlands (Guild subsection) to buy **Gladius Cases**, **Blood Stone** potions, and **Power Stone** potions** In the image below you can see the last daily reward I received (contents of 9 chests). I found **5 Reward Edition** cards, **160** **DEC** tokens, **19 legendary potions**, **21 alchemical potions** and **112 MERIT**s. Final Considerations All the changes introduced by Splinterlands that I have listed and explained in this post are all changes that I like. In particular I like that there are new Daily Focus missions because with the addition of new daily objectives the game activity will become more varied and less monotonous because the game strategies will have to be adapted to a greater number of possile daily focuses and consequently the fun will also increase. Regarding the content of the chests I have read some posts from players who are not happy with the addition of MERITs as a possible prize because they do not play in the **Brawls**. I am a member of the EDSF guild and have been playing the Brawls for several months now and playing in the Brawls is an activity that I like and enjoy very much! If you are a Splinterlands player, not part of a Guild, and have never played in the Brawls I suggest you try it for the following reasons: - the **Brawls** are fun - the **Gladius cards** even though they cannot be used in Ranked Battles: - they increase the collection power score - they can be converted into DECs - will be useful in future perspective and when Lands are introduced - in the future among the rewards of Brawls will be SPSs. If you can't find a free place in a guild you can create your own and invite your friends. By the way **the current value of DEC tokens makes creating a Guild a relatively inexpensive task**. In fact, creating a Guild has a cost of **10000 DEC** which is equivalent to an expense of about **$5.60** To participate in the Brawls, it is not enough to create a Guild but it is also necessary to build the Arena which has a cost of **10000 DEC**. **Today with less than $12 you can create a guild and participate in Brawls ;)** And you dear reader, how do you evaluate the recent changes? If you like, please write me your opinion in the comments and I will be happy to read it. Thank you for reading my post I hope you liked it and thank you for giving me your time Are you not a Splinterlands player? **Splinterlands is a beautiful game and it has proved to be a very good investment for me (at least until now) and if you regularly participate to the weekly contests organized by the @splinterlands account on** **Hive** **you will recover the registration cost (10$) in a short time.** https://peakd.com/register?ref=libertycrypto27 If you decide to register, you can do it from this link: https://splinterlands.com?ref=libertycrypto27 of course if you'd like to use my refferal link... :) Any game that involves the purchase of cards and tokens is never a simple game but it is also an investment and should be considered as such. **I am not a financial consultant and if you decide to invest in the game of Splinterlands you do it for your own choice, after having made your personal evaluations and considered all possible risk factors.** **My advice is to always invest only what you can afford to lose with a light heart!** See you on the battlefields of Splinterlands.

Farming Tales News: Flame partnership, RoadMap, WAX, SEST and CBIT tokens + Cartel's Report No.20 ***Cover Image****: Logo Flame owned by* *Flame* *- Logo Oneup Cartel owned by @oneup-cartel - Edit by @libertycrypto27 - Font used is Open Source* https://flamestore.xyz/ Farming Tales News: Flame partnership, RoadMap, Considerations on the Value of WAX, SEST and CBIT tokens + OneUp Cartel's Investment: Report No.20 The **Bear Market** has affected all blockchain projects including blockchain-based games but I firmly believe that in the future centralized games (Web 2.0) will be overtaken by NFT-based games although it will still be some time before this overtaking happens. In this year I have increased the number of blockchain-based games that I follow, play, and invest in, and among them is **Farming Tales** which is the only game developed on a blockchain other than Hive that I have decided to play and Farming Tales is the protagonist of this post of mine today. The **main topics** that I will cover in this post are as follows: - **Farming Tales News** (June 22, 2022 - July 7, 2022)** - **WAX, SEST and CBIT Market Value Considerations** - **Cartel Investment Update: Report #19** Before covering the main topics I begin with a **short introduction** about the Farming Tales game. What is Farming Tales? (Brief Introduction) **Farming Tales** is an NFT-based farming simulator built and developed on the **WAX** blockchain. I decided to start playing and investing in Farming Tales because I saw peculiarities in this game that many other blockchain-based farming games don't have: - Farming Tales has **beautiful graphics** and uses a **3D graphics engine**. - Farming Tales has some **NFT** that are **linked to real goods from real farms** (saffron, honey,...). Another point in favor of Farming Tales over other farming games is that it chose my beloved Hive to: - post game-related updates (account: @farmingtales). - create a **community**: https://peakd.com/c/hive-151527/created Farming Tales News: June 22, 2022-July 7, 2022 Below I show you all the **news** and **updates** regarding the Farming Tales game that occurred in the period between July 7, 2022 and today July 21, 2022 but differently from my previous posts I will not follow a chronological order because there is one news item that I think takes precedence because it could be very interesting in terms of **marketing** and **promotion**. Farming Tales is officially launching on Flame Store: the Web3 Steam! On July 18, 2022 within the Announcements channel of the Farming Tales Discord server, an **important partnership** with the **Flame** project (https://flamestore.xyz/) was announced. **Flame** is a project that wants to become for blockchain-based games (WEB 3.0) what Steam is for Web2 games. So Flame will be a **store and multi-chain wallet for Web 3.0 games** that will allow people to launch, trade, and play games of different blockchains from a single platform. For the time being **the Flame project is under development**, I joined the waitlist and the Discord server and in the general channel I asked about the timing of the project's launch and the answer was that the launch of the public beta version of Flame is planned for next month. On the Announcements channel of Flame's Discord server, **12 partnerships** were announced, among which are **Farming Tales** and **Splinterlands**. Flame is a project created by **Ryu Games** which hired **Rick Ellis** who was a **founder** and **dev** of **Steam** which was created by Valve Corporation. So there is no direct connection between **Steam** and **Flame** because they are projects created by different companies but Flame seems to me to be a very interesting project and if Flame is successful the player base in blockchain-based games could also increase in number. The Farming Tales road map has been updated Farming Tales has updated the **Road Map** within the **Whitepaper** (https://nodo42.gitbook.io/farming-tales-the-game/road-map/road-map) and in the image below you can see the planned development steps. In the following image you can see the announcement message published by Farming Tales with more details about the work of the development team and the changes to the game dynamics that will be introduced soon. WAX, SEST and CBIT Market Value Considerations In blockchain-based farming games, it is always important to do the proper calculations before purchasing a token and NFT, and it is also important to **monitor the value of the tokens** connected to the game. There are three tokens connected to the Farming Tales game: - **WAX** - **SEST** - **CBIT** In the image below you can see the current value of the **WAX** token, which is the blockchain token on which Farming Tales runs, and the current values of the Farming Tales tokens (**SEST** and **CBIT**) and the difference in value against the dollar and the value comparison between the three tokens. The token value comparison is for the time interval: June 22, 2022 - July 7, 2022. Compared to 14 days ago when all three tokens WAX, SEST, and CBIT had increased their value against the dollar, in the last 14 days only the **WAX** token and the **CBIT** tokens register an increase in value while the **SEST** token loses **5.75%** of the dollar value it had 14 days ago. The **WAX** token is the best performing token in the past 14 days: - **WAX: +$0.007715 = +8.07%** (July 7, 2022 - July 21, 2022) The WAX token also improves in comparison with both Farming Tales tokens (SEST and CBIT). On July 7, 255 SEST were needed to buy 1 WAX token today instead 293 SEST are needed while the difference between WAX and CBIT has more or less remained the same: today 7.32 CBIT are needed to buy 1 WAX while 14 days ago 7.14 CBIT were needed. The **CBIT** token increases its value against the dollar: **+$0.00072 = +5.36%**. The **SEST** token loses value against the dollar although the decrease is minimal: **-0.00002$ -5.75%**. Cartel Investment Update: Report My gaming/investment activity on Farming Tales is double because I play **two roles**: - I am a **simple player** who has decided to invest in the purchase of NFT and tokens - I am a **operator** of the Cartel **project of the beautiful community called** OneUp (https://www.1up.zone/). https://www.1up.zone/@flauwy/1up-cartel-is-exploding-over-30k-usd-cartel-issued-only-4-days-left-for-base-price **Cartel** is: - a **Meta Gaming Guild** - a **Meta Curation** - a **Meta Dividend Token** Regarding **OneUp Cartel's investment in Farming Tales**, my management began on **January 29, 2022** and today, July 21, 2022, it has been **173 days**, just under six months. **OneUp Cartel** invested in the Farming Tales project in two successive times: - First investment: **500 HBD** (January 29, 2022) - Second investment: **250 WAX** (March 1, 2022) From the conversion of HBD tokens to WAX tokens, I obtained 1583 WAX tokens, which when added to the second investment of 250 WAX produced a total of **1833** **WAX** tokens. **1833** **WAX** tokens is therefore the total amount of tokens I had available to invest in Farming Tales. I used the 1833 WAX tokens in the following ways: - Purchase of NFT: 1585.59 WAX - Purchase of WAX Resources (CPU,RAM,NET): 51.54 WAX - Purchase of 14970 SEST tokens: 195.00 WAX - Cost of trading on Alcor Exchange: 0.87 WAX VALUE ASSETS + REWARDS The value of the NFT collection of the Cartel project In the table below you can see the list of NFTs owned by OneUp Cartel with an indication: - of the purchase prices - of the payment method used to purchase them - of the current market prices on **AtomicHub/NeftyBlocks** - of the difference between the purchase price and the current market value for each NFT purchased. To calculate the total value of the card collection I consider the lowest selling price in the market for each NFT at the time I write my report and for this reason this value is an **estimated value**. In this report I record a small decrease in the average value of NFTs purchased. The difference between the total market value of Cartel's NFTs and the total purchase price returns to a negative value albeit a small one: -48 WAX = -$4.97 The most valuable NFT in Cartel's collection is the **Green House (602 WAX)** even though there is a single NFT on the market for sale at a much lower price than the average price I have recorded in the past in my previous reports, which has almost always been over 650 WAX. **Market value NFTs - Total purchase cost NFTs (July 21, 2022)**: **-4.97$ -48.08 WAX -3.46%** Market value NFTs - Total purchase cost NFTs (July 7, 2022): +$9.29 +97.16 WAX +6.99% The value of CBIT and SEST tokens accumulated and not reinvested Profit and ROI In the following image you can see the **prospectus** I created to get a concise and immediate view of the investment on Farming Tales that I manage for the Cartel project. In the prospectus the **total initial investment cost** is the total amount of WAX tokens I had available to invest: **1833 WAX**. **Considering the investment in terms of WAX tokens** the financial results (**Profit** and **ROI**) are positive as in my previous reports although lower than the financial results I had recorded 14 days ago. **Profit: +316.63 WAX = +32.70$** (Profit previous report: +447.26 WAX = +42.75$) **ROI: +17.27%** (ROI previous report: +24.40%) I invested a total of **1833** tokens **WAX** and got a total investment value (Assets + Rewards) of **2149.63 WAX** so far: **+316.63 WAX**. In the following image you can see the prospectus I created to track **two financial results** that take into consideration: - the value of the 500 HBD and 250 WAX at the time of their use - the current value of Cartel's investment in WAX tokens and in dollars. The data in the table above show the effects of the Bear Market on the value of WAX tokens. WAX tokens have lost a lot of value since the day Cartel's investment in Farming Tales began. In fact, 1 WAX token was worth **$0.28** on January 29, 2022 while today it is worth **$0.10**. It is time to continue accumulating game rewards and wait for the Bear Market to become a memory and the WAX token to recover its value ;) My investment plan on Farming Tales (Update) Those of you who regularly read my posts and reports know that **I consider farming games to be investments rather than games** because the skill is more in the timing of the investment and trading in tokens and NFTs than in the game operations that generally take little time. As with all farming games I have invested in, even on Farming Tales my main and short-term goal is to **transform Farming Tales from a play 2 earn to a free to play**. As for the investment I manage for Cartel I will reach this goal when the total value of rewards received will be equal to the initial investment (**1833 WAX**) but without decreasing the farm's SEST and CBIT token production. It will still take some time to reach this goal because I have reached a completion percentage of 26.62% (see next image) but I hope to do so as soon as possible. To increase the number of liquid WAX tokens in Cartel's wallet I will continue to sell the NFT **Seed Boxes** that the NFT **Green House** produces daily. In the past I also used to sell surplus CBIT tokens but already for several days now I have decided to hoard them all because in the future fees will be introduced (in CBIT) to sell agricultural products and thus both their usefulness within the game and their value may increase. Today I decided to purchase an NFT that has gained utility with the start of phase 1 of the new Farming Tales product system: the **Barn** NFT. Cartel's farm has a **Common** type NFT **Barn** that has a capacity of **100 units**. Now that NFTs no longer directly produce SEST tokens but produce agricultural products that need to be stored in the Barn it is necessary to purchase an NFT **Barn** at least of type **Rare** which has five times the capacity of the common type NFT Barn and will be even more useful when quests are introduced. Today I purchased a NFT Barn of rare type for the price of **18.6** token **WAX** using the Market section of AtomicHub. I hope you liked my 20th operational report for the Cartel project and if you like follow me to read my future reports and posts on Farming Tales and Cartel. **Important Note:** **Blockchain-based games that allow people to buy and sell tokens are not just games but are also investments and should be treated as such!** In any type of investment there is always a **risk factor** to evaluate and consider. **I am not a financial advisor and the information contained in this post is not financial advice**. Before investing in a blockchain-based game you should always do your own research and personal evaluations. **My advice is to always only invest what you can afford to lose with a light heart!** The images in this post are screenshots taken from the sites: https://farmingtales.io/ https://play.farmingtales.io/ https://wax.atomichub.io/market https://neftyblocks.com/c/farmingtales https://peakd.com/ https://www.1up.zone/ https://discord.gg/dRsXTbkXXw https://coinmarketcap.com/it/currencies/wax/ https://flamestore.xyz/ The images containing calculations, tables and formulas are my property The font I used in my images or in the images edited by me is Open Source The dividers with the Hive logo in this post were created by me and if you like them you can use them too, the Hive logo is property of https://hive.io/

Psyber-X: Avalanche Bridge, LVL token and the Opening of 1 Airdropped Crate (ENG/ITA) ***Cover Image****: Logo and Crates images owned by* *psyberx* *- Edit by @libertycrypto27 - Font used is Open Source* https://www.psyber-x.com/ I have many interests and many passions and two of my passions are **blockchain-based games**. My first blockchain-based game was Spinterlands (October 18, 2019). As time went on, I expanded the list of gaming projects I tried or invested in and today I play several blockchain-based games. I have also invested in 4 gaming projects on the Hive blockchain that are in a development phase and are not yet playable, and among these games is **PsyperX**. **PsyberX** is an NFT-based gaming project that belongs to the **first-person shooter game**. Psyber-X is under development and not yet playable but it is possible to purchase the game's assets (tokens and NFTs). In my previous post on Hive blockchain about PsyberX I wrote a **brief introduction** to the game and shared **my investment** in Psyberx updated as of May 17. https://peakd.com/hive-146620/@libertycrypto27/psyber-x-my-investment-and-the-opening-of-6-airdropped-crates-il-mio-investimento-e-lapertura-di-6-airdropped-crates-engita Today, June 14, I have increased the number of PsyberX NFTs in my possession because I opened **1 airdropped crate** in which I found 5 NFTs but before I show the NFTs I have added to my card collection I want to update my readers on the latest news concerning PsyberX. Psyberswap.com: HIVE/AVAX Bridge The latest interesting news announced by @psyberx on May 27, 2022 was the communication of the completion of the implementation of the https://www.psyberswaps.com/ bridge that allows LVL tokens (second-level tokens on the Hive blockchain) to be converted to LVL tokens on the **Avalanche** blockchain and vice versa. In the following image you can see the home page of https://www.psyberswaps.com/ To use the bridge you must have: - a **Hive account** https://peakd.com/register?ref=libertycrypto27 - a **compatible Avalache wallet** such as Metamask - an amount of **LVL** tokens https://tribaldex.com/trade/LVL - a minimum amount of **AVAX** tokens to pay for transactions on the Avalanche blockchain. I have not yet configured my Metamask wallet to operate on the Avalanche blockchain and I have not yet studied and explored the Avalanche blockchain but the creation of the bridge by PsyberX could be an opportunity for me to do so and to expand my knowledge about blockchain projects. If you want to explore the details of how the https://www.psyberswaps.com/ bridge works you can read the following post: https://peakd.com/@psyberx/ready-to-cross-our-bridge-link-inside With psyberswaps.com LVL tokens gain a new use case and I who own LVL tokens am very happy about this. LVL tokens: Market value, SWAP.HIVE/LVL Pool and considerations On May 17, 2022, the date I published my previous post on PsyberX, LVL tokens had a value of **0.00222 SWAP.HIVE** (Highest Bid) Today, June 14, the value of an LVL token is: - **0.00117 SWAP.HIVE** (Highest Bid). - **0.00140 SWAP.HIVE** (Lowest Ask) In just under 1 month, the dollar value of SWAP.HIVE tokens and LVL tokens declined: - **SWAP.HIVE: -33.70%** (dollar value) - **LVL: -65.60%** (dollar value) This decrease in value does not worry me because we are in the midst of a **Bear Market** and because: - I considered the value of HIVE underestimated when it was worth more than $1 and I consider it even more underestimated today when it is worth $0.35. - the value of LVL tokens has also fluctuated greatly in value in the past and when PsyberX is playable LVL tokens will have more use cases and the value may go up and in any case already the current graph shows signs of recovery. I have a **goal** related to LVL tokens: to accumulate a minimum amount of **400000 LVL**. In my wallet on HiveEngine/TribalDex I have **50640** **LVL** tokens. In the Diesel Pool **SWAP.HIVE:LVL** I have the following liquidity: - **381.85 SWAP.HIVE** - **270135.72 LVL** Thanks to the liquidity I put into the SWAP.HIVE:LVL pool I receive a reward of **955,886 LVL** every day in addition to other second-level tokens from the Hive blockchain. In the table below you can see my LVL token buying and selling transactions and the current value of the **320776.54** **LVL** tokens in my possession. To reach my goal of 400000 LVL tokens I still need to accumulate **79224** **LVL** tokens. The opening of 1 Airdrop Crate My choice to purchase and maintain more than 200000 LVL tokens has allowed me to participate in crate airdrops and receive a total of 7 airdropped crates to date. Today I opened my seventh airdropped crate. In the following image you can see the probability of finding cards of a specific rarity type within an airdropped Psybercrate. In the following image you can see the cards I found. I didn't find an Overlord card but the odds were really small (0.01%) but I was still very lucky because I found: - 1 epic card: Dying Wish (5% probability) - 1 rare card: Caffeinate Boost (10% chance) - 1 uncommon card: Cyberbet Hearth (33.19%) - 2 common cards. Conclusion To date, I have invested a total of **300 HIVE** on Psyber-X: - 200 HIVE to buy LVL tokens - 100 HIVE to purchase a Founder Starter Kit. The Psyber-X assets in my possession are as follows: - **39 NFTS** - **2 Land Plots** - **320776.54** tokens **LVL** It is still early to make financial calculations (profit and ROI) because Psyber-X is still a gaming project under development and not playable but just considering the current value of the LVL tokens and the market sale value of the assets in my possession I am in wide profit so I am very happy for the moment.

Farming Tales News and OneUp Cartel Investment: Operator Cartel's Weekly Report #5 ***Cover Image****: Logo Farming Tales owned by farmingtales - Logo Oneup Cartel owned by oneup-cartel - Edit by @libertycrypto27 - Font used is Open Source* **Farming Tales** is an NFT-based farming simulator built and developed on the **WAX** blockchain. Farming Tales differs from other blockchain-based farming games because: - It has beautiful graphics and uses a 3D graphics engine (Unity). - it has some NFTs that are linked to real goods of real farms (saffron, honey,...). It was these two peculiarities that convinced me to play and invest on Farming Tales along with the fact that Farming Tales has created a community and an account (@farmingtales) on the **Hive** blockchain which is my favorite blockchain project. Farming Tales also has plans to integrate on **Hive's** blockchain as well (Q3 - 2022) and that's another point that makes me happy although, honestly, I would have liked it if Farming Tales was developed on Hive. *Source Screenshot above: Whitepaper of FarmingTales* On Farming Tales I play two roles: - I am a **simple player** who decided to invest in the purchase of NFT and tokens - I am an **operator** of the **Cartel project of the beautiful community called** OneUp https://www.1up.zone/ **OneUp** is a community of Hive's blockchain focused on NFT games and blockchain games **OneUp Cartel** is: - a **Meta Gaming Guild** - a **Meta Curation** - a **Meta Dividend Token** I've been managing OneUp Cartel's investment in Farming Tales since January 8, 2022 but before I show the financial results I've achieved in 32 days I want to share and showcase Farming Tales news and updates related to the past week (February 24 - March 2). Farming Tales News Greenhouse and the Seed System On February 27, 2022 at 20:00 UTC, the sale of the NFT **Greenhouse** began. The sale took place in two phases and the first phase lasted for 10 minutes, during which, the purchase was only enabled for players who had an **NFT Early Adopter Diorama** and at least one **NFT Vegetable Garden**. Myself (with my personal account) and OneUp Cartel were among the buyers in the first 10 minutes. In 10 minutes, **250 Greenhouse NFTs** were sold out of a total of 497 NFTs available for sale. All Greenhouses have been sold and today you can only purchase one from the AtomicHub marketplace and the lowest selling price on the market right now is **700 WAX = $219.10** The **NFT Greenhouse** is a **legendary** NFT that allows its owners to produce a **Seed Box (NFT)** every day. Each Seed Box contains 3 different **seeds** that are NFTs and like the Seed Box itself, can be sold on AtomicHub or used within the game. In the following image you can see the display of **Seed** and **Seed Box** type NFTs inside the OneUpCartel inventory on AtomicHub. Within the Farming Tales game area, the NFT GreenHouse is graphically represented by the structure you can see in the following image. To receive one Seed Box per day, just wait 24 hours and perform the Harvest operation and the NFT Seed Box will be received and displayed in the **My Inventory** section of **AtomicHub**. With the sale and activation of the Greenhouses, the **Seed System** has been released and the NFT **Vegetable Garden** can now be used to plant seeds produced by the GreenHouse. For example, in the Garden of OneUp Cartel I planted two days ago **Blueberry** seeds and in a little more than a day I will be able to make the first harvest. First Drop of DAO tokens: LIRA On February 23, 2022 Farming Tales began the **decentralization process** of the game and the first **LIRA** tokens were distributed to SEST (non-liquid but stacked) token holders. LIRA tokens are the Farming Tales (DAO) governance tokens and will allow players to take part in decisions about the future of the game. The distribution of LIRA tokens will continue each week and the distribution mechanism will be as follows: **10000 SEST tokens (stacked) = 1 LIRA token per week** At the time of the first LIRA token distribution the **1carteltales** account had more than **23000** **SEST** tokens in stake and in the following image you can see the two LIRA tokens correctly received. Blend of the Legendary Animals Operation **Blend of the Legendary Animals** began on February 28, 2022. With this operation you can get 1 NFT legendary animal by combining 5 common animals: - **Epic -> Legendary**: **1 epic animal + 4000 SESTs Voucher = 1 legendary animal**. The blending operation can be done from https://neftyblocks.com/c/farmingtales/blends/super The 3D Animated Animals have arrived The latest novelty introduced by the Farming Tales development team concerns the graphic look of the game because **animated 3D animals** have been introduced. Before in the farms the animals were not displayed but now they are. In the following image you can see one of the cows owned by OneUp Cartel Legendary Animals have the same production statistics (SEST for now) as Epic Animals but have a lower harvest cost (cost in CBIT tokens). In the following image you can see all the production stats of Animals type NFTs updated with the introduction of legendary cards game stats (source: Farming Tales' Whitepaper). OneUp Cartel Investment Initial Budget After showing and sharing the new features introduced in the last week by Farming Tales it's time to publish my fifth weekly report as an operator of OneUp Cartel that contains the financial evaluation of OneUp Cartel's investment on Farming Tales. OneUp Cartel decided to initially invest **500 HBD** in the Farming Tales project. My activity as a OneUp Cartel operator began on January 29 when I completed the conversion of **500 HBD** into **1583 WAX tokens** and today March 2, 32 days have passed. In the past week, after interacting with @flauwy via comments and on Discord, OneUp Cartel decided to increase their investment on Farming Tales and added **250 WAX** with the goal of purchasing a **NFT Greenhouse**. OneUp Cartel's investment on Farming Tales has now increased and is: **500 HBD + 250 WAX** The current total value of the investment is **$566.25**. The updated total of WAX tokens I had available to invest in Farming Tales is **1833** **WAX** tokens. The Assets purchased CPU On the WAX blockchain you need to have a minimum amount of resources (**NET, CPU, RAM**) in order to perform certain operations. For example, all **Harvest** operations within the Farming Tales game consume the **CPU** resource (which recharges over time) and for this reason I initially allocated **37** **WAX** tokens to the **CPU** resource. This week I used the **Alcor** exchange to buy the SEST tokens needed to purchase the GreenHouse and by placing BID purchase offers I had difficulty making transactions because the CPU resource would often go to 0%. For this reason I increased the stacked WAX tokens for the CPU resource: **37 -> 51.54**. The purchased NFTs In order to start your farming adventure on Farming Tales, you need to make an **initial investment** which mainly consists of purchasing at least one of the following card combinations (NFTs): - **Hen + Coop** - **Goose + Shelter** - **Goat + Stable** - **Cow + Stable** - **Sheep + Stable** - **Pig + Stable** - **Garden + Seed** - **Lumberjack** - **Fishing Pier** - **Hive** - **Greenhouse** All Farming Tales NFTs can be purchased: - from the **Market** section of **Farming Tales** using SEST tokens (Crafting operation) - from the **Market** section of **AtomicHub** using WAX tokens: https://wax.atomichub.io/market?collection_name=farmingtales&order=desc&sort=created&symbol=WAX To date, I have chosen all of the NFTs I have purchased based on a calculation of the **estimated annual ROI**, a calculation I made for every combination of NFTs on the market before making each purchase. In the last week I have purchased two new NFTs: - **1 Early Adopter Diorama** - **1 GreenHouse** Thanks to the two latest purchases and the daily production of the GreenHouse the NFTs owned by OneUpCartel increased by 5 units in one week and now total 20: - **3 NFT Harlequin Cow** - **3 NFT Harlequin Goat** - **1 NFT Silo Raro** - **6 NFT Stable** - **1 NFT Water Tower Raro** - **1 NFT Garden** - **1 Early Adopter Diorama** - **1 Sugar Cane Seeds** - **1 Sugar Beet Seeds** - **1 Seed Box** - **1 GreenHouse** All details of my purchases can be viewed at: https://wax.atomichub.io/profile/1carteltales#buyHistory To purchase the NFTs I listed above, I spent a total of **1585.58 WAX**. To purchase the **Greenhouse** you needed **40000** **SEST** tokens. To purchase the necessary SEST tokens I used mostly liquid **WAX** tokens but I also used some of the **CBIT** tokens and **SEST** tokens I received as rewards from the game activity. Excluding the value of the rewards used, the **GreenHouse** cost **471,168** **WAX** tokens but the lowest selling price on the market today is already 48% higher than the purchase cost: **700 WAX**. In the following table you can see the list of the cards I bought until today with the indication of the purchase price, the current market prices and the differences between purchase price and current value for each NFT bought. The difference in value (total purchase price - total current market value) is finally and for the first time positive: - February 23: **- $42.88** - March 2: **+ 89.33$** SEST tokens Purchased **SEST** tokens are the native tokens of the Farming Tales game and are obtained through the Harvest operation. To perform the **Harvest** operation, however, you must have two consumable items: **food** and **water**. Food and water represent a cost and can be purchased using **CBIT** tokens (utility tokens). CBIT tokens can be purchased, but they can also be produced for free by stacking SEST tokens. **SEST tokens stacked provide a daily supply of CBIT tokens**. In order to make the **OneUp CArtel farm self-sufficient** and able to perform Harvest operations without having to purchase CBIT tokens from the non-game markets on a cyclical basis, I purchased **14970 SEST tokens** that I staked in the **Wallet** section of Farming Tales. To purchase 14970 SEST tokens, I used the **Alchor** exchange (https://wax.alcor.exchange/) and spent a total of **195 WAX** (January 30, 2022). The value of rewards In order to buy the Greenhouse I used part of the rewards obtained so far. In the table below you can see the total value of SEST tokens and CBIT tokens owned by OneUp Cartel. If I subtract the value of the purchase of 14970 SEST tokens made on January 30, 2022 I get the value of the game rewards received and not reinvested which is **$31.93** Although I used just over 1600 SEST tokens to cover part of the cost of the Greenhouse, the total stacked (purchased + received as rewards) SEST tokens from OneUp Cartel increased in one week by **1035 units**. This amount of SEST tokens currently provides a daily reward of **8.27** **CBIT** tokens = **$0.316** per day Since my last report and in seven days the value of the daily CBIT token reward has increased by **+0.232 CBIT** (8,272 - 8,040). Profit and ROI It's time to do some calculations and **compare costs** and **revenues**. I created a prospectus to show and track the financial results of the Farming Tales investment that I manage on behalf of OneUp Cartel. After 4 reports in which I always recorded a negative result **finally the green color colors my report**. The financial results are positive and an ROI of +18.62% in 32 days is a very good result: - **Profit: + 341.26 WAX = + 106.81$** - **ROI: + 18.62%** The results in my prospectus only take into account investments made using WAX tokens and do not take into account: - the dollar value of the initial investment - the variation of the value in dollars of the WAX tokens - the amount of WAX tokens present in the wallet and not yet invested. If I consider the current value of the 500 HBD tokens invested in Farming Tales the financial results of OneUp Cartel's investment in Farming Tales are even better: - **Profit: + 114.44S** - **ROI: + 20.21%** Final Considerations The investment on Farming Tales by OneUp Cartel has reached **32 days of effective activity** and for the first time I have recorded a financial result not only positive but very positive especially considering the few days to achieve this result. In the four previous reports I had recorded negative results but I had never worried because I always considered those negative results to be only temporary. **Unfortunately I don't have the ability to predict the future but I saw potential in Farming Tales and I continue to see it.** After I have made the first Harvest from the NFT Garden I will do some calculations and evaluations and decide how to proceed. In all likelihood I will sell some Seed type cards to get WAX tokens to reinvest in expanding farm production. I hope you enjoyed my fourth operational report for OneUp Cartel and if you like follow me to read my future reports and posts on Farming Tales and OneUp Cartel. **Important Note:** **Blockchain-based games that allow people to buy and sell tokens are not just games but are also investments and should be treated as such!** In any type of investment there is always a **risk factor** to evaluate and consider. **I am not a financial advisor and the information contained in this post is not financial advice**. Before investing in a blockchain-based game you should always do your own research and personal evaluations. My advice is to always only invest what you can afford to lose with a light heart!

Rising Star: Promote Fan Club, Rising Star Game Fam and My Progress In Game ***Cover Image****: Logo and image in the center owned by* *Rising Star* *- Font used is Open Source - Edit by @libertycrypto27* https://www.risingstargame.com?referrer=libertycrypto27 **Rising Star** is an NFT-based game created and developed on the **Hive** blockchain. Rising Star is also one of my favorite blockchain-based games because it has a theme that is very close to my heart, music, and also because it is an easy game to play that requires little time and a few clicks per day. Rising Star is also the game I recommend to those who have never tried a blockchain-based game because it is a **FREE TO PLAY** game: **it has no signup fee and requires no initial investment**. Today I want to show two interesting new features introduced in the Rising Star game: - The **Promote Fan Club** mission. - The useful site **Rising Star Game Fam**. Promote Fan Club **Promote Fan Club** is the latest addition to the Rising Star game. Promote Fan Club is a **special mission** in the game from the completion of which you do not get an amount of STARBITS tokens as with most other missions in the game. The **reward** for completing a certain number of Promote Fan Club missions is a **game card**. In the following image you can see the number of Promote Fan Club missions required to receive a card as a reward. The first card you receive as a reward for completing two Promote Fan Club missions is the **FCI Membership Card** (image below). There are a total of **28** cards that can be received for completing Promote Fan Club missions. At the completion of **Promote Fan Club mission number 700** you will receive the **FC28 Courtney** card, which has excellent game stats: - **5000 Fans** - **5000 Skill** - **350 Luck** - **100 IM** **Note:** Cards belonging to the Fan Club category will be required in future features. The Promote Fan Club mission has **4 entry requirements**: - minimum number of **Fans**. - Minimum **Level** to carry out the mission - amount of **time** needed to complete the mission - minimum amount of **energy**. Promote Fan Club missions also have a **cost** and to complete a single mission you need to spend an amount of **STARPRO tokens: 0.024** **STARPRO** tokens can be obtained by using **STARBITS** tokens within the **Music Promoter** section. STARPRO tokens are also second-level tokens of Hive's blockchain and can be bought, sold and transferred from exchanges such as **Hive Engine** or **TribalDex**. Today, February 21, **1** **STARPRO** token has a value of: - **6.09999 SWAP.HIVE** (Highest BID). - **6.202 SWAP.HIVE** (Lowest ASK) STARPRO tokens have had a big increase in value just with the introduction of the Promote Fan Club missions that have in fact introduced a new use case for STARPRO tokens. In the following image you can see the top 10 positions of the **Richlist** of STARPRO tokens. Each Promote Fan Club mission has a cost of **0.024 STARPRO** which corresponds to the following values: - **0.1488 SWAP.HIVE** - **0.1335$** - **579.17 STARBITS** To complete all 700 Promote Fan Club missions you must spend a total of **16.80** tokens **STARPRO = 104.194 HIVE = 93.46$** Should you participate in the Promote Fan Club missions? I asked myself the question if participating in the Promote Fan Club missions is worthwhile or not. To answer this question, I calculated the total attributes of the 28 cards obtainable from the Promote Fan Club missions: - **Totale Fans: 8555** - **Totale Skill: 7102** - **Totale Luck: 671** - **Totale IM: 145** In my opinion, it is convenient to participate in the Promote Fan Club missions if the cost to obtain 8555 Fans and/or 7102 SKILLs is lower than the cost to obtain the same number of Fans and/or Skill by purchasing cards from the market. Thanks to the **Rising Star Game Fam** site (https://rsgfam.com/) I have verified that the purchase of the **R137 Silent X** card allows to obtain **54 Fans for each STARBITS spent**. This means that **if I want to increase my number of Fans by 8555 units by buying cards from the market I have to spend at least 461970 STARBITS (54 * 8555)**. If I want to increase my number of Skill points by 7102 points by buying cards from the market I have to spend 56.66 STARBITS for each SKILL point. This means that **if I want to increase my number of Skill points by 7102 by buying cards from the market I have to spend a total of 397712 STARBITS (56.66 * 7102)**. Because **completing all Promote Fan Club missions** would cost me a total of **405422 STARBITS** I can say that: - **to increase the number of Fans it is much cheaper to complete the Promote Fan Club missions instead of buying cards from the market** (405422 STARBITS vs 461970 STARBITS) - **to increase the number of Skill points, it is a slightly cheaper way to complete Fan Club Promote missions than to buy cards from the market** (405422 STARBITS vs 397712 STARBITS) The number of Fans is an important requirement for Rising Star missions, so **completing Promote Fan Club missions right now is cheaper than buying cards from the market**. Among other things, the cards obtainable from the Promote Fan Club missions will be useful for future features of the Rising Star game. For the reasons stated above, I will start doing the Promote Fan Club missions, but I will not be in a hurry to finish them as soon as possible. I will perform the missions as I need to increase my number of Fans to unlock Rising Star missions. To buy STARPRO tokens I will always Bid to get a lower purchase cost. Rising Star Game Fam I didn't know about https://rsgfam.com/ before today and I'm really glad I discovered it. The **Rising Star Game Fam** site was created by foxon who is a great Rising Star player. It is a very useful site because it allows you to find in a few seconds the most convenient cards to buy on the market to increase: - the **number of Fans** - the **number of Skill points** - the **number of Luck points** based on the musical lesson an instrument card is functional to. You can filter the results by choosing from three different payment methods: - **STARBITS** - **SWAP.HIVE** - **SWAP.WAX** Before discovering this site I had built myself a spreadsheet to calculate the **Luck/$** **Fans/$** and **Skill/$** ratios for every Rising Star card on the market. Now thanks to the Rising Star Game Fam site **I will be able to choose the cards to buy saving a lot of time** because I will no longer have to manually enter the market prices of Rising Star cards in my spreadsheet. **Thank you very much foxon!** My game progress In conclusion I want to share my progress within the Rising Star game. I am level 107 and have 83341 STARBITS tokens in the in-game wallet. I also have 1 million STARBITS tokens in my Hive Engine wallet. In the following image you can see my game stats. My next game goal is to unlock the **County Festival Auditions** mission. In order to unlock the County Festival Auditions mission, I need to reach game **level** of **125** and I need to increase the number of my **Fans** to **4000** units. To increase my game level up to level 125 I will have to do many missions and therefore it will take more than about two months. To increase my number of Fans I will start doing Promote Fan Club missions.

RisingStar: Need more Fans? How to choose the best cards to buy! ***Cover Image:*** *Logo and image in the center owned by* *Rising Star* *- Font used is Open Source - Edit by @libertycrypto27* https://www.risingstargame.com?referrer=libertycrypto27 I play or have invested in almost every game created and developed on the **Hive** blockchain, I'm missing Hashkings but will start playing very soon. All games on Hive require an initial investment except one: **Rising Star**. Risign Star is a fun and easy to play game but it is above all a game that belongs to the **Free To Play** category because it **does not have a registration fee and does not require an initial investment**. After logging in for the first time, the Rising Star player can complete his first mission, called **Illegal Busking**, for free. The reward for completing the Illegal Busking mission is a random amount of **STARBITS** tokens in the value range [1 - 60]. In the most likely case (the average case: (1+60)/2) a new Rising Star player will get about **30 STARBITS** tokens from completing his mission. Before I started writing this post I completed 3 Illegal Busking missions and got: - 37 STARBITS tokens (first mission) - 10 STARBITS tokens (second mission) - 55 STARBITS tokens (third mission) STARBITS tokens are second level tokens on the Hive blockchain and can be bought, sold or transferred from any of the following sites: - https://hive-engine.com/ - https://tribaldex.com/ - https://leodex.io/ Today January 15, 2021 the value of **1 STARBITS** token is: - **0.000125** **SWAP.HIVE** = (Highest BID) - **0.000137** **SWAP.HIVE** = (Lowest Ask) From completing the three Illegal Busking missions I have earned **102 STARBITS** tokens whose value is **0.01277 SWAP.HIVE = $0.0167** I completed the 3 Illegal Busking missions just to show a possible start of a new Rising Star player but I have been a Rising Star player for over a year and the missions I complete daily have much higher rewards. The missions and the "FANS Needed" requirement The main part of the Rising Star game is the **Missions** section. The missions are divided into **4 game zones** and each game zone has **a list of 7 missions** that you can complete. All missions have a minimum of **4 entry requirements**: - minimum number of **Fans**. - Minimum **Level** to carry out the mission - amount of **time** needed to complete the mission - minimum amount of **energy**. In each game zone the mission requirements have increasing values and the higher these values are, the higher the rewards you can get. In this post I will focus on the **Minimum number of FANS (Fans Needed)** requirement of the missions and show how to increase the number of Fans permanently and as conveniently as possible while also taking into consideration an important element of the Rising Star game which is the **EGO**. **How to increase the number of FANS** Each Rising Star player has a **Number of FANS** which is given by the following sum: **Temporary FANS Number + Fixed FANS Number**. **Temporary FANS** can be obtained as an additional reward for completing missions. They are called temporary because they have a limited time duration: 12 hours. **Fixed FANS** are the result of the sum of the FANS attributes of the cards that make up a card collection. The number of FANS can be seen in the Missions section of Rising Star (see image below). It is unlikely that a Rising Star player will be able to complete the missions with the highest rewards in the first game zone (Home Town) with good frequency if they rely on luck and temporary FANS. **To permanently increase the number of FANS, it is necessary to buy cards from the Rising Star market**. Rising Star is not only a Free to Play game, but also an NFT-based game, and there are many cards that can be used to increase the number of FANS. Rising Star cards can have up to four of the following attributes: - FANS - SKILL - LUCK - IM To increase the number of FANS, simply purchase one or more cards that have the FANS attribute greater than 0. For example, the **R4 Female Rapper** card has the following attributes: - FANS: 50 - SKILL: 200 - LUCK: 4 - IM: 3 By purchasing this card, you can permanently increase the number of FANS by 50. **Which cards should you buy?** How to choose the best cards to buy in order to increase the number of NSAIDs (also taking into account the EGO factor) In the game of Rising Star **cards that have the FANS attribute greater than 0** are of **four different types**: - **People** cards (not all but only a subset of these cards) - **Vehicles** cards - **Boosters** cards (the Fan Boost cards) - **Festival** cards In the game of Rising Star there is one important element to always consider: the **EGO**. The EGO is an element that if not neutralized (EGO = 0) produces a decrease in the maximum reward of all missions. **Purchasing a card whose FANS attribute value is greater than the SKILL attribute value produces an increase in the EGO value**. If you want to know more about the EGO, I have explained in detail the mechanism of functioning of the EGO in the Rising Star game and I have provided possible solutions in a previous post: Link: https://peakd.com/hive-146620/@libertycrypto27/rising-star-introduction-for-beginners--the-ego-effects-and-solutions-introduction-to-the-game--ego-effects-and-solutions-engit **To increase the number of FANS without also increasing the value of EGO I recommend buying only cards of type People that have the value of the FANS attribute less than or equal to the value of the SKILL attribute**. There are a total of **78** Rising Star cards that meet the **FANS <= SKILL** condition. The FANS/HIVE ratio and the FANS/$ ratio **When I need to increase the number of my FANS I purchase the cards that have the best FANS/HIVE (or FANS/$)** ratio. The **FANS/HIVE** ratio indicates how many FANS I get for each HIVE token spent in purchasing a card that has the FANS attribute > 0. The FANS/$ ratio indicates how many FANS I get for each dollar spent in the purchase of a card that has the FANS attribute > 0. **The best card to buy will be the one with the highest FANS/HIVE ratio value.** It is only necessary to calculate one of the two ratios, and the easiest to calculate is the FANS/HIVE ratio. To calculate the FANS/HIVE ratio and the FANS/$ ratio I built myself a simple spreadsheet. In the following image you can see all the cards for sale on the Rising Star market and the values of the FANS/HIVE ratio and the values of the FANS/$ ratio in relation to the two prices on the market for each card: - price in SWAP.HIVE - price in STARBITS Today, January 15, 2021, the best possible purchase is the **R131 Star Child** card which has the highest **FANS/HIVE** ratio value (**146.00**) when purchased using STARBITS tokens as a payment method. My purchases I currently have a fixed number of FANS equal to **2169** but I need a total number of 3000 FANS in order to do the **Full Band Headline** mission of the **County Tour** area. Thanks to the **FANS/HIVE** report indication, I selected and purchased the following cards: - **N.1 R131 Star Child card - 7499 STARBITS - FANS/HIVE: 146.00** - **N.4 cards R131 Star Child - 7900 STARBITS - FANS/HIVE: 138.59** - **N.1 card R109 Trevor - 5900 STARBITS - FANS/HIVE: 123.71** To make the purchase, I used https://nftm.art/buy/star which allows you to speed up the purchase of multiple cards at once and spent a total of **44999 STARBITS tokens**. After the purchase I went to the "**Your Collection**" section of Rising Star and clicked on "**CLICK HERE**" to add the purchased cards to my card collection. This is required every time you purchase a card or open a pack of Rising Star cards. After my purchase I updated the table and if you, dear reader, need to increase the number of your FANS you can buy the cards shown in the following image ;) How to calculate the FANS/HIVE ratio and the FANS/$ ratio If you also want to calculate the **FANS/$** ratio and the **FANS/HIVE** ratio you need the following **input data**: - the value in HIVE of the STARBITS tokens - the $ value of HIVE tokens - the value of STARBITS tokens in dollars and in HIVE - the market value of Rising Star cards (STARBITS and SWAP.HIVE) Then you just need to enter some simple formulas into your spreadsheet. To calculate the **FANS/HIVE ratio (using SWAP.HIVE)** the formula is as follows: **Card FANS points / (Price in SWAP.HIVE of the card)**. To calculate the ratio **FANS/HIVE (using STARBITS)** the formula is as follows: **Card FANS Points / (Price in STARBITS of the card * Value of 1 STARBITS in HIVE)**. To calculate the **FANS/$ ratio (using SWAP.HIVE)** the formula is as follows: **Card FANS points / (Price in SWAP.HIVE of the card * Value of 1 HIVE in $)** For the **FANS/$ ratio (using STARBITS)** the formula is as follows: **FANS points of the card / (Price in STARBITS of the card * Value of 1 STARBITS in $)** Calculating the value of **1 STARBITS in $** is even easier: **Value of 1 STARBITS in HIVE * Value of 1 HIVE in $** **Rising Star = Free 2 Play = Play 2 Earn!** I hope you liked this post and I thank you for reading and taking the time to read it :) Are you not a Rising Star player?

@libertycrypto27 4 November 2021

24 months on Splinterlands: My Financial Report + Advices for New Players ***Cover Image****: Logo image owned by Splinterlands - Edit by @libertycrypto27- Font used is Open Source* I became a **Splinterlands** player on October 18, 2019 when, after reading many Splinterlands-related posts published on the **Hive** blockchain, I decided to spend $10 and buy the Spellbook (30 delegated cards to start playing). Splinterlands was my first blockchain-based game so it was my gateway to a decentralized gaming world where players are not only buyers and users of a game product but also owners of game assets. Today out of curiosity I went to see the first Splinterlands-related posts I made and found an image of my first reward I received from Splinterlands as a prize for completing my first daily mission: the **Creeping Ooze** card. In the image below you can see the value the Creeping Ooze card had on October 20, 2019. Two years ago, the Creeping Ooze card cost **$0.03**. Today, November 3, 2021, the lowest price (**$/BCX**) is **$1.21** but to get this purchase price you need to buy Creeping Ooze level 10 which is the result of combining 506 single cards (total cost $614). The lowest purchase price for a single Creeping Ooze card is higher and is **$9.80**. This difference in value shows how successful the Splinterlands game has become in just two years. The increase in value in percentage terms that the Creeping Ooze card (level 1) has had is truly exceptional: **+32667%** I took the value of the Creeping Ooze card as an example because it was my first daily reward, but there are cards whose value had an even greater percentage increase. When I completed my first Splinterlands daily quest there were only three tokenizable items in the game: - the cards - packs of cards - DEC tokens Today there are many more Splinterlands game assets: - cards (NFT that can be used in in-game battles) - packs of cards - DEC tokens - SPT tokens - PLOT tokens - TOTEM tokens - SPS tokens - VOUCHER tokens - NFT tokens (not usable in game battles) A blockchain-based game is never just a game, it is also an investment and as such it has a cost: time and/or money. Since I became a Splinterlands player I have always published a monthly report in which I shared my financial results and in which I considered Splinterlands solely from a financial point of view and completely left out the game play and strategic aspects. And here I am today, writing my 24th monthly report on Splinterlands. **Note**: In the numbers of this report the comma "**,**" and the dot "**.**" are both decimal separators. Below are the topics I will be covering in this my monthly report: Report Topics - **Final Result Previous Report** - **Evaluation of Splinterlands as Investment (after 24 months)** - Total Investment Cost - Total Revenues - Value of my card collection - Value of accumulated DEC tokens - Revenues from the sale of DEC tokens - Value of the token PLOT - Revenues from Farms DEC - BUSD LP (CubFinance) - Value of Splintershards tokens (SPS) - Value of purchased but unopened packs of cards - Value of VOUCHER tokens not used and/or sold - **Profit/Loss calculation** - **ROI calculation** - **Report Results Considerations** - **Month by month history of my investment in Splinterlands** - **Advice for new players** - But do those who sign up today still have a chance to make a good profit? Final Result Previous Report The starting point for each of my monthly reports on Splinterlands is the result I recorded in my previous monthly report: https://peakd.com/hive-167922/@libertycrypto27/23-months-on-splinterlands-profit-roi-and-considerations-advices-for-new-players-23-mesi-su-splinterlands-roi-e-considerazioni). In the following image you can see the results in terms of ROI and Profit that I calculated and recorded on 13 October 2021 (previous report). The results I have achieved after 23 months of playing/investing in Splinterlands are results that I wouldn't have even dreamed of a few months ago: - **Total profit**: **$36201.26** - **ROI**: **6906.79%** I will now proceed to evaluate my investment in Splinterlands by updating and calculating the value of the Splinterlands assets in my possession as of today and at the same time as writing this report. Evaluation of Splinterlands as Investment (after 24 months) The analysis of each investment involves the calculation and comparison of costs incurred and revenues obtained. Total Investment Cost The total cost of my investment on Splinterlands is given by the following sum: **Registration Cost (Summoner Speelbook: $10) + Total Cost of Cards and Card Packs Purchased + Total Cost of DEC tokens purchased + Total Cost of Plots purchased** **Note:** In calculating the total investment cost I only consider the costs I incurred by injecting external liquidity into the game. From the date of my last report (13 October 2021) until today I have not injected any external cash into my Splinterlands investment and therefore my total investment cost remains unchanged from my previous report and is **$524.14**. Revenues The total revenue earned from my investment on Splinterlands is the sum of the following values: - the sum of the market value of the **Cards** that constitute my card collection - the gain obtained from the sale of the cards and not reinvested in the game. - the gain obtained from the rental of my cards to other players and not reinvested in the game. - the value of the **DEC** tokens (Dark Energy Crystal) accumulated and not reinvested. - the gain from the sale of **DEC** tokens. - the market value of the plots that I have purchased. - The gain from the sale of the Plots. - The gain from using DEC tokens in a Farm. - The value of the Splintershards (SPS) tokens I have obtained to date from the current airdrop. - The value of card packs purchased but not opened. - The gain from the sale of VOUCHER tokens How much is my card collection worth? At the heart of the Splinterlands game is a fun card and strategy game. **I consider cards to be one of the most important assets of the Splinterlands game.** To calculate the value of my card collection, I use the useful tool on the **Peakmonsters** website (https://peakmonsters.com/), which allows me to quickly find out the value of my card collection as well as the value of any other player's card collection. The value of my card collection is displayed in the **My Cards** section of the Peakmonsters website (https://peakmonsters.com/@libertycrypto27/cards). The Peakmonsters site calculates the value of Splinterlands card collections based on two different prices: **Market Prices** and **List Prices**. To calculate the value of my card collection I always consider the lesser of: - the **total value** using **Market Prices**. - the **total value** using the **List Prices**. Since I write a report every month I have been able to monitor the value of my card collection almost monthly. On March 26, 2021 my card collection had a value of **$819.63** (using Market prices) On 3 May 2021 my card collection was worth **1164.44 $** (using Market prices) On 27 May 2021 my card collection was worth **1349.09 $** (using Market prices) On 10 July 2021 my card collection was worth **2511.49 $** (using Market prices) On August 11, 2021 my card collection was worth **11617.01 $** (using Market prices) On 16 September my card collection was worth **$23249.22**. On 12 October, my card collection had a value of **$25293.08**. Today, November 3rd, my card collection has a value of **$32166.46**. My card collection has already temporarily exceeded $30,000 in the past, but this is the first time I have ever recorded such a high value in a monthly report. I am very happy to see that since my previous report and in just under a month my card collection has grown by **+7310.10$** with a percentage increase of **+28.57%**. What is the value of the DEC tokens I have in my wallet? The **DEC** (**Dark Energy Crystal**) tokens are the native **Tokens** of the Splinterlands game, are the main reward for battle victories in the game and can also be found inside chests. Splinterlands players receive **Chests** as a reward for completing daily quests and as a reward for game achievements at the conclusion of the Splinterlands season (every 15 days). DEC tokens are **utility tokens** because they have many **use cases**: - they can be sold and bought on: - **Hive Engine** (https://hive-engine.com/?p=market&t=DEC) - **LeoDex** (https://leodex.io/market/DEC) - **TribalDex** (https://tribaldex.com/trade/DEC) - can be used to **buy cards, potions, Spellbook** (starter set) - can be used in **DeFi Platforms** of CubFinance (https://cubdefi.com/), UniSwap and TribalDex pools (https://tribaldex.com/). - can be used to **pay for card rentals**. - count towards the current airdrop score to receive Splinterlands governance tokens (the SPS tokens): **1 DEC token = 1 Airdrop point**. In my in-game Splinterlands wallet I have accumulated a total of **135788** **DEC** tokens. As you can see from the calculations in the image below, today November 3, 2021, **135788** **DEC** tokens have the value of **1480.31 $** (Highest Bid on LeoDex/HiveEngine/TribalDex) Revenues from the sale of DEC tokens on Hive Engine I have almost always used the DEC tokens earned from battle victories and the sale of my cards in the purchase of cards and card packs with the goal of upgrading and improving the battle strength of my card collection. On one occasion (October 5, 2020) I sold 81000 DEC tokens to do a Power Up on Hive and thus increase my amount of Hive Power (HP). From that sale I received **400.14 HIVE** in return which, at the time of the sale, had a value of **$64.8**. If you have a time machine lend it to me and let me go back to that day! :) How much are my PLOT tokens worth? On November 21, 2020 I purchased 3 Plots at a great price: **7500 DEC** per plot. So I spent a total of **22500 DEC** whose $ value at the time of purchase was **$19.66**. If I consider the current value of the DEC tokens, the 3 PLOTs cost me **245.24**. The Plots have all been sold and long since. Today, anyone who wants to buy a PLOT can only purchase it from markets outside the Splinterlands game. Today, November 3, 2021, the lowest sales order for a PLOT on the Hive Engine is **909 HIVE** with a dollar value of **728.10**. Initially PLOTs could also be purchased in dollars ($20) from the Shop section of the Splinterlands website and if I had chosen this payment method I would now have made an even bigger profit. A PLOT that could be bought for $20 at the end of 2020 is now worth **$728.10**! For the purposes of calculating the bottom line of my report I will consider the value of the Highest BID on https://hive-engine.com/?p=market&t=PLOT which is **880 HIVE**. The total value of the three PLOT tokens in my possession is: 880 HIVE * 3 plots = **2640 HIVE** = **2114.64$** (previous report value: 1605.22$) Farm DEC-USBD LP Leofinance (https://leofinance.io/) is one of the most active and well-known communities on Hive and has created and developed a decentralized finance platform (DeFi) called CubFinance (https://cubdefi.com/). On CubFinance I have put 24000 DEC tokens to work within the **DEC-BUSD LP (V1)** Farm. Some time ago I migrated to the **DEC-BUSD LP (V2)** farm. So far the cash injection into the DEC-BUSD farm has earned me: 13,242 CUB tokens (Farm V1) + 1.51 CUB tokens (Farm V2)= 14.75 CUB tokens = 14.75 * $0.672 = **$9.91**. The value of Splintershards tokens (SPS) obtained from the current airdrop The airdrop of **Splintershards (SPS)** tokens, the Splinterlands governance tokens, has contributed greatly to the increase in value of the Splinterlands game assets. The SPS token airdrop is a different airdrop than the usual airdrop because it is an annual airdrop (365 days) and today November 3, 2021 is **100 days** since the airdrop began. In 100 days since the start of the airdrop I have accumulated a total of **11131 SPS tokens** which I have staked to receive more SPS tokens (APR 53.54%). Today the value of the 11131 SPS tokens in my possession is **$6433.78** (image below). Since October 13, 2021, SPS tokens have lost value. In fact, if you look at the calculations in the image below, even though I have increased the amount of SPS tokens I own, their total value has decreased. Value of card packs purchased but not opened A while ago I bought 100 packs of cards from the **Untamed** collection in bulk from the Shop section of the Splinterlands website and as a bonus I received 10 free packs of cards. I have opened 90 packs of cards and still have 20 packs of cards to open or sell. Today the value of a pack of cards from the Untamed collection at https://hive-engine.com/?p=market&t=UNTAMED (Highest BID) is **85.49 SWAP.HIVE = $69.24** (previous report: $54.55). The total value of the 20 packs of Untamed cards in my possession is **$1384.8**. So far the decision to keep these packs of cards without opening or selling them has proven to be the right one because their value has increased by +26.93% in 21 days. I have yet to decide whether to open, sell, or keep these 20 packs of Untamed cards...but I'm leaning more towards the option of selling and then reinvesting in Chaos Legion packs. Value of VOUCHER tokens sold Into this report of mine comes a new element of value: the VOUCHER token. The VOUCHER token is a token needed to buy a pack of Chaos Legion cards during the current presale. I have chosen to sell all of the VOUCHER tokens I have received to date and if their value remains above $4-8 I will continue to sell them. With the proceeds of the sale I will buy Chaos Legion card packs when the Voucher tokens are no longer needed (after the sale of the first two million Chaos Legion card packs). To date, I have sold a total of **37.29 VOUCHER tokens** and have received 738.54 SWAP.HIVE tokens worth **$598.21** in return. A little bit of calculation... Now that I've collected all the data I need (Total Costs and Total Revenues) it's time to do the sums and then I can calculate the **Profit** and **ROI** I got from my investment in Splinterlands after 24 months. Profit ( Revenues - Costs ) As you can see from the calculations in the image below the **Profit** I got after 24 months on Splinterlands is **$43728.46** (previous report 36725.40$) From 18 October 2019 to date 24 months and 17 days have passed. From October 13, 2021 to today November 3, 21 days have passed. In 21 days my profit has increased by **7003$ (+19.07%)** ! **WOW :)** ROI ( Return On Investment ) In my previous report I recorded an ROI of **6906.79%**. After 21 days the ROI has increased and is now **8342.90**%. Month by month history of my investment in Splinterlands Below you can see the history of my personal investment on Splinterlands from October 18, 2019 until today November 3, 2021. The trend of **PROFIT** from the sixth month onwards was as follows: - **PROFIT** after 6 months: **27.99 $** - **PROFIT** after 7 months: **82.346 $** - **PROFIT** after 8 months: **24.214 $** - **PROFIT** after 9 months: **78.902 $** - **PROFIT** after 10 months: **44.014 $** - **PROFIT** after 11 months: **149.437 $** - **PROFIT** after 12 months: **307.279 $** - **PROFIT** after 13 months: **316.13 $** - **PROFIT** after 14 months: **311.16 $** - **PROFIT** after 15 months: **338.02 $** - **PROFIT** after 16 months: **392.60 $** - **PROFIT** after 17 months: **687.68 $** - **PROFIT** after 18 months: **1046.56 $** - **PROFIT** after 19 months: **1239.77 $** - **PROFIT** after 20 months: **2232.06 $** - **PROFIT** after 21 months: **13310.82 $** - **PROFIT** after 22 months: **26764.87 $** - **PROFIT** after 23 months: **36201.26 $** - **PROFIT** after 24 months: **43728.46 $** In the following graph you can see the trend of the **ROI** from the sixth month onwards was as follows: Considerations Splinterlands continues its run and so do the financial results of my investment in Splinterlands. Since my last report all of Splinterlands assets have increased in value except for SPS tokens and DEC tokens which have declined slightly. **1000 DEC tokens** that were worth $0.68 only 9 months ago (March 11, 2021) are now worth **$11.04** while 21 days ago they were worth about $14. I'm really very pleased to have believed and invested in the Splinterlands game and I believe and hope that the best is yet to come... Splinterlands is a concrete example of all that a blockchain-based game can offer to its players: - fun - exclusive digital ownership of the game assets (tokens and NFT) - many different possibilities of gain and investment Advices for new players But do those who sign up today still have a chance to make a good profit? In blockchain-based projects and especially in projects that have increased their success over time, the rule applies: He who enters first is at an advantage and earn more rewards! It is only fair to reward those who have believed from the start. Those who entered Splinterlands a year before me have made much higher profits than me. Whoever enters a successful project like Splinterlands today will logically grow less quickly than someone who built up a collection of cards when cards cost much less than today but, even if it is only my personal opinion, I am convinced that Splinterlands still has a lot of potential and still has a lot to offer to its players including new players. I may be repetitive but the advice I always give to new players is to be **"Smart" players** and to look at the Splinterlands game not as an isolated and successful project but as **a beautiful project created and developed within a great ecosystem that is the Hive blockchain**. Those who only play will grow more slowly in the game of Splinterlands especially if they have decided not to invest external liquidity in the game and especially now that to earn DEC tokens from battle victories it is necessary to get to Bronze II league. The smarter player not only plays the game: - publishes Splinterlands-related content on the Hive blockchain. - participates in weekly contests organized by Splinterlands on the Hive blockchain In addition, those who publish Splinterlands-related content on Hive have the opportunity to earn HIVE tokens and various second-level Hive tokens. Here's a practical example Whoever participates in the Splinterlands **Social Media Challenge** contest, publishes a post about the game, uses the tag **splinterlands** and shares his post on a blogging platform other than Hive.blog: - will receive a vote from the @steemmonsters account (the weight of the vote will depend on the quality of the content of the post and you can receive a maximum of two votes in 7 days on two published posts) - will have the chance to earn **token HIVE**. HIVE tokens are one of the currency tokens on Hive's blockchain Today November 3, 2021, **1 HIVE token** has the value of **$0.810**. - will have the opportunity to earn **SPT** tokens from the Hive community: https://www.splintertalk.io/ SPT tokens are second-level tokens on the Hive blockchain and were created by the @splinterlands account. Today November 3, 2021, the value of **1 SPT token** is **0.01069 SWAP.HIVE**. **1000 SPT = 10.69 HIVE = $8.65**. - if you use the **oneup** tag you will also have the chance to receive **ONEUP** tokens from Hive's beautiful new community of blockchain-based games: https://www.1up.zone/ The **ONEUP** tokens are tokens created by @flauwy, which is also the creator of the @monster-curator account. Today November 3rd **1 ONEUP** token has the value of **0.07 SWAP.HIVE**. **100 ONEUP tokens = 7 HIVE = $5.67** - If you also write about the financial aspects of the Splinterlands game in your post like I did in this report and use the leofinance tag you will have the chance to earn **LEO** tokens from the Leofinance community: https://leofinance.io/ The **LEO** tokens are second-level tokens of the Hive blockchain created by the khaleelkazi account (on Hive Blockchain). Today, November 3, 2021, the value of **1 LEO** token is **0.36 SWAP.HIVE = $0.29**. Up to 10 different tags can be used on a post published on the Hive blockchain, and there are many second-level Hive tokens that can be earned from publishing a post. I will go into more detail on this topic in a future post ;) A Smart player who not only sees the potential of a great game like Splinterlands but also the great potential of the Hive blockchain on which Splinterlands is built and developed, will grow much faster than a simple player and if he uses a part of the rewards from his content creation activity on Hive to buy cards and other Splinterlands assets his growth within the game will be very fast ;) Will ROI and Profit grow in the next month or will they suffer a decrease? Follow me to find out ;) I hope you liked this post and thank you for taking the time to read it :) Are you not a Splinterlands player? **Splinterlands is a beautiful game and it has proved to be a very good investment (at least until now) and if you regularly participate to the weekly contests organized by the @splinterlands account you will recover the registration cost (10$) in a short time.** If you decide to register, you can do it from this link: https://splinterlands.com?ref=libertycrypto27 of course if you'd like to use my refferal link... :) Any game that involves the purchase of cards and tokens is never a simple game but it is also an investment and should be considered as such. **I am not a financial consultant and if you decide to invest in the game of Splinterlands you do it for your own choice, after having made your personal evaluations and considered all possible risk factors.** My advice is to always invest only what you can afford to lose with a light heart.

LEOFINANCE: Short Introduction For Beginners + My Leofinance Goals ***Cover Image****: Logo owned by Leofinance - Edit by @libertycrypto27- Font used is Open Source</sub></center>* Over the last few months many new users have arrived on the Hive blockchain and many via Splinterlands which is now Hive's best known project. I'm always ready to help those who are in difficulty and especially to help new users who may have some difficulties to take their first steps on Hive. For example a few days ago @stewie.wieno contacted me on discord and asked me many questions about Hive and Hive projects including the following questions: *English translation: I saw that you also write about leofinance and the last post about a step app that pays you in crypto. Do you use that? And do you use leofinance?* *English translation: How does Ecency differ from peakd, leofinance, etc? Because I don't really understand this, does each Wallet Hive have a blog on each of these platforms?* Indeed, someone who creates an account on the Hive blockchain via Splinterlands, PeakD or Ecency might initially think that their Splinterlands gaming activity or Peakd publishing activity is visible or stored on Splinterlands servers or Peakd servers especially if they have only had centralised experiences. **This is not the case.** **All transactions made on Splinterlands are recorded on the Hive blockchain.** **All posts written and published using the PeakD editor or Ecency editor are registered on the Hive blockchain.** Hive's blockchain is a DPOS blockchain and all transactions recorded on it are transparent and immutable and for this reason are visible and searchable by anyone and therefore also by multiple Dapps at the same time. A possible metaphor could be: **the Dapps in the Hive ecosystem are like windows of a large building that all look out onto the same garden (Hive).** So, for example, the Wallet section of Peakd, Ecency or Leofinance is nothing more than a graphically different display of information about the assets held by a Hive account, information which is recorded on the Hive blockchain and which, I repeat, is accessible by anyone. I have tried to be as clear as possible but if I have not succeeded in my intent I invite @stewie.wieno or anyone reading this post to ask me further questions in the comments of this post and I will try to answer them (if I know the answers ;). **Hive is therefore a great ecosystem of projects, sites and communities.** Brief Introduction to the Leofinance Community One of the most important and active communities of Hive is the Leofinance community. The Leofinance community has its own website (https://leofinance.io/) where the following are displayed: - posts published directly by the Leofinance editor (https://leofinance.io/publish) - posts that have one or both of the following tags: **leofinance** and **leo**. **Important note**: **Leofinance is not a generalist community** where you can post any kind of content. **The leofinance tag can only be used for certain topics**. In the following image you can see the list of all allowed topics. The Leofinance community development team has not limited itself to creating and developing a community on Hive but has created valuable projects, tools and apps such as: - https://cubdefi.com/ - https://leodex.io/ - https://leopedia.io/ - https://hivestats.io/ - https://leofi.io/ The Leofinance community with the projects listed above and with good marketing has contributed and continues to contribute to the promotion of Hive. The Leofinance community has its own token: the **LEO** token. The LEO token is a second-level token from Hive that can be sold, bought, transferred, delegated and staked on: - HiveEngine (https://hive-engine.com/) - LeoDex (https://leodex.io/) - Tribaldex (https://tribaldex.com/) Today 29 October 2021, the value of 1 LEO token is **$0.289**. The LEO token has several use cases and can, for example, be converted into an ERC-20 (WLEO) version and a BEP-20 (BLEO) version. LEO tokens can also be earned from the activity of publishing content on the Hive blockchain using the leofinance tag. When you publish a post and use the leofinance tag your post will be visible within the Leofinance community (https://leofinance.io/) but also on https://hive.blog/, https://peakd.com/, https://ecency.com/... For example, my post on AFIT BEP-20 token airdrop that I published directly from https://leofinance.io/ is visible at https://leofinance.io/@libertycrypto27 https://leofinance.io/@libertycrypto27/afit-airdrop-step-by-step-guide-metamask-installation-and-configuration-for-the-bsc-guida-passo-passo-installazione-e and is also visible at https://hive.blog/@libertycrypto27 The difference is that on https://hive.blog/ the value of the post reward is displayed in $ (more precisely in $HTU) while on https://leofinance.io/ the value of the post reward is displayed in LEO tokens. The split of the reward between author and editor is **50%/50%**. What does that mean? If I have 1000 staked LEO tokens = 1000 LEO Power my vote is worth about 0.1 LEO. Every time I vote for a post at 100% (with 100% LEO Power) I will earn 0.05 LEO tokens (curator reward) and give 0.05 LEO tokens to the author of the post I voted for. The rewards are credited to the curator and author 7 days after the post is published. After this brief introduction about the Leofinance community and its projects I want to share the goals I have set for myself within the Leofinance community: goals related to LEO tokens, CUB tokens and other projects related in some way to LEO tokens. My Leofinance Goals My main goal is related to LEO tokens and it is as follows: 1500 LEO POWER (LEO stacked) by 31 December 2021. I have set this goal in May 2021 and to speed up and optimise the accumulation of LEO tokens I have decided to create a secondary account: @libertyleo27. The function of this secondary account is not to publish content but to accumulate staked LEO tokens -> LEO Power. With the @libertyleo27 account I only vote for posts that have the leofinance tag and/or the leo tag. This way I don't waste my LEO Power by voting for content without the leofinance community tags. In the following image you can see the amount of LEO Power tokens I have accumulated up to today, 29 October 2021. From the posting activity of my main account @libertycrypto27 and the curation activity of @libertyleo27 I have accumulated a total of **1307.62 LEO Power** and **0 liquid LEO tokens**. I don't have any liquid LEO tokens because I have no intention of selling my LEO tokens and when I reach 1500 LEO Power I will immediately set another goal. The only reason I might decide to keep liquid LEO tokens in the future is to promote a post of mine within the Leofinance community to give the post more visibility. To track my path to my main goal I have constructed a simple table with my spreadsheet. I divided the final goal into intermediate goals of monthly duration. As you can see from the image below, from May 2021 until September 2021 I have never met or exceeded one of my monthly goals. Today when I updated the data in the table I was happily surprised to see that for the first time I not only reached my monthly target (October) 2 days early, but also exceeded it! Yippee!! :) There are still two days left until the end of October but even if I don't receive any more LEO tokens before the end of the month my next intermediate target will be easier to reach: - October target: 141.31 LEOs - November target: 96.19 LEOs In order to reach the goal of 1500 LEO by 31 December 2021 I still need to accumulate **192.38 LEO tokens** in 2 months and 2 days. In May and June I saw my goal as almost unreachable, but now it seems easier and within my reach. In October I increased my delegation to the @leo.voter account: 650 HP -> 700 HP. Thanks to my delegation I receive about 0.8 LEO per day (24 LEO per month) which I immediately convert into LEO Power. Out of curiosity I went to see the **LEO Richlist** at https://leodex.io/richlist/LEO I am on page 8 of the Richlist and since each page contains 50 accounts I am at position number 376 with my 1307 LEO tokens. The top ten accounts on the Richlist have more than 120000 LEO tokens. Excluding the wrapped-leo, b-leo and null accounts, the top account attributable to a single person and not a project is @onealfa.leo who has 612218 LEO POWER. I am very small compared to the top ranked accounts but I will grow ;) CUB Finance and the CUB tokens I have invested in the Cub Finance project (https://cubdefi.com/) which is the decentralized finance (DeFi) platform created by the Leofinance community development team on the Binance Smart Chain. The **CUB** tokens are BEP-20 tokens from the Binance Smart Chain. I already reached my annual goal two months ago: 100 CUB tokens by the end of 2021 and now my new goal is to reach 200 CUB tokens. As you can see from the image below, I have 108.98 CUB tokens in the Kingdoms section. The last time I checked the CUB tokens inside the Kingdoms section was on 27th September 2021 and I had 103.82 CUB tokens. In one month I have earned 5.16 CUB tokens = $2.13. I also use the DEC-BUSD LP farm (V2). The APR of the DEC-BUSD farm is very low (3.74%) but it allows me to get a good score for airdropping SPS tokens from Splinterlands. In fact, when calculating the Splinterlands SPS token airdrop score: 1 DEC token = 1 point 1 DEC token used in a liquidity pool = 2 points Projects related to LEO tokens There are several projects that are linked to LEO tokens because they pay back those who invested in the project in whole or in part with LEO tokens. Leo Backed Investment Leo Backed Investment is a project created by the @spinvest account. Project communications and progress are posted by the @lbi-token account. I bought 70 LBI tokens which are second level Hive tokens that guarantee me a weekly payment in LEO tokens. Payments started on 31 July and so far I have received a total of 13 payments and a total of **3,845 LEO** tokens. Today 29 October 2021 the value of **1 LBI token is 0.301 SWAP.HIVE = $0.24** While the value of 1 LEO token is $0.289. When I invested in LBI tokens an LBI token was worth more than a LEO token so I am at a slight loss but the LBI project is a long term project so I continue to believe in this project and in the future I may strengthen my position by buying more LBI tokens. The BRO tokens I also invested in the @brofund project of The Mancave community. I have so far bought 72 BRO tokens (Brocoin Tokens) which are second tier Hive tokens created by @raymondspeaks. As a BRO token holder I receive a daily reward in 11 different tokens including LEO tokens. In the following image you can see the payments I received yesterday. With 72 BRO tokens I receive an average daily reward related to LEO tokens of about **0.045 LEO** per day. Today, October 29, 2021, the value of 1 BRO token is 5.82 SWAP.HIVE (Highest Bid) while the best sale offer is 6.569 SWAP.HIVE. My short term goal for BRO tokens is to reach the amount of **100 BRO tokens**. Conclusion A few months ago, LEO tokens were worth more than HIVE tokens, but today the situation is reversed: **HIVE value: $0.777** **LEO value: $0.289**. Even though the LEO tokens have lost value compared to the past I continue to accumulate them and convert them into LEO Power because I see a lot of potential in the LEO token and the Leofinance community but above all I have trust in the capabilities of the Leofinance community development team. **Will I be able to achieve the goal I set for myself by 31 December 2021?** I am satisfied with the results I have achieved this month which are by far the best results I have achieved to date. In October I increased my LEO Power by 231.56 units and in November I will be working to get even closer to my target of 1500 LEO Power. My intention for the month of November is to continue to publish content using the front-end of leofinance.io but above all I will try to interact more with other authors and users in the community because interaction in the Hive ecosystem is really important. I hope you liked my post and thank you for the time you dedicated to me.

ELVEN CUTTHROAT: Attributes, Market Value, Battle Strategy and Considerations ***Cover Image****: Logo and Card images owned by Splinterlands - Edit by @libertycrypto27- Font used is Open Source* With this post I participate in the contest "**Share Your Battle**" Splinterlands whose theme this week is the card Elven Cutthroat. The topics I will cover in this post are as follows: Topics - **Elven Cutthroat** - Description, Stats, and Skills. - **Market Value and Levels** - The levels with the best benefit/price ratio - **My battle with Elven Cutthroat** - My battle formation - Battle Considerations - **Final Considerations on Elven Cutthroat** Elven Cutthroat **Elven Cutthroat** is a card that is part of the **Beta** collection of the Splinterlands game and is available in two versions: **Regular** and **Gold**. The starting level of the Gold version is the fourth level. Description, Stats and Abilities Elven Cutthroat is' a **Common** type card and is a card of the **Neutral** element. The advantage of Neutral element cards is that they can be used with any summoner. **Elven Cutthroat - Regular Version** of **level 1** has the following battle statistics: - It has a **mana cost of 3 points**. - Has a 1 point melee attack - Has a single **life point** and has no armor points. - Has an **average speed value** (**3**). - Has an ability: **Sneak**. Thanks to the **Sneak** ability, the Elven Cutthroat card will attack the card in last position instead of the card placed in first position. Market Value and Levels Each card in the game of Splinterland comes in two versions: **Regular** and **Gold**. Some cards are also present in two different collections: **Alpha** and **Beta**. Elven Cutthroat is present in only one collection (Beta) and so there are in total 2 Elven Cutthroat cards (Regular and Gold) that differ for: - cost (the Gold version costs much more) - starting level (gold version starts from level 4) - number of cards needed to increase the level (lower number for Gold version) - number of cards in circulation. The lowest cost of **Elven Cutthroat (Level 1) - Regular version** on the market is **$3.95** (October 27, 2021) In the image below you can see Elven Cutthroat's complete statistics (levels, battle statistics and abilities) The cost of **Elven Cutthroat - Gold version (starting level is level 4)** lowest on the market is **99 $** (October 27, 2021) In the following image you can see the full stats (levels, battle stats and abilities) The levels with the best benefit/price ratio **Level 4** Level 4 is the level that, in my opinion, has the best **benefit/price ratio**! When Elven Cutthroat reaches level 4: - increases his life points by one unit (1->2) compared to level 1 - increases his melee attack by one point (1->2). To reach level 4 you need: - **12 cards** to combine for the **Regular** version and the best price on the market is **47.40$** (3.95$ per card). The gold version already starts at level 4 but the price on the market is higher as you can see from the following image. **Level 8** The other interesting level is level 8 because Elven Cutthroat acquires: - 3 total attack points - 4 life points total At this level it becomes much more useful in battle but of course the cost of buying it increases considerably. **Level 10 (Max level)** In my opinion, bringing Elven Cutthroat to the maximum level is not a good choice because the cost is not justified by the improvement of battle statistics in the transition from level 8 to level 10. This consideration of mine is evident by comparing level 8 and 10 cards with their relative purchase prices. **Now let's see how Elven Cutthroat performs on the Battlefield.** A battle of mine with Elven Cutthroat If you want to see the battle you can do so from this link: https://splinterlands.com?p=battle&id=sl_ae3fd0c205fbbfd858710e6b09a194a8&ref=libertycrypto27 In the battle of this post I had the following conditions to respect: - **Unprotected**: All cards with armor points lose armor points. - **Mana Cap**: 20. - **Useable Summoners**: Only summoners of the elements Fire, Earth, and Dragon. My Battle Formation The maximum number of cards that can be deployed in battle is **7 ( 1 summoner + 6 monsters)** I chose to deploy 6 monster cards (in order of position): **Cerberus - Manticore - Fiendish Harpy - Elven Cutthroat - Kobold Miner - Furious Chicken** **Daria Dragonscale (Summoner)** **First Position**: **Cerberus (Level 5)** For the first position I chose to deploy **Cerberus (level 5)**. Cerberus (level 5) is one of the Fire element cards that I use the most, especially when the mana available in battle is low. I would have liked to upgrade it to level 7 but it's now a very expensive card so I thought about it. Cerberus is a card that has two good abilities (Heal and Retaliate), plays well in first position and has a really low cost in terms of mana in relation to its characteristics. **Second position**: **Manticore (level 5)** In second position I fielded **Manticore (level 5)**. Manticore (level 5) is really a very useful card in battle and one that I use often in second position. It has the Thorns ability that allows you to counter melee attacks suffered with a reduced but still useful attack. A good supply of life points (8) and a good speed make Manticore one of the most useful cards in second position also considering the fact that it has a very low cost in terms of mana (4) in relation to its battle statistics. **Third position: Fiendish Harpy (level 4)** Very useful card that I use often when battles are low on mana available. It only costs 2 mana and has a good melee attack (2) and good speed (4). Thanks to the Opportunity ability it can attack from all positions. **Fourth position**: **Elven Cutthroat (level 4)** In fourth position I have deployed Elven Cutthroat (level 4) It has a good base attack (2) and good speed (4) and thanks to the summoner's ability Daria Dragonscale increases its attack by one point (2->3). It has only two life points and for this reason I decided to place it in fourth position because it is a position that provides some protection. **Fifth position**: **Kobold Miner (level 4)** Kobold Miner level 4 is a card I often use in battles with little mana available. It has a good attack (2) and a good ability (Sneak) that allows Kobold Miner to attack from all positions. **Sixth position**: **Furious Chicken (level 3 - Gold)** Furious Chicken is one of the most useful cards in battle because it is the only card in Splinterlands that has a mana cost of 0. Its function is almost always that of "sacrificable chicken" and in fact in the battle of this post I placed Furious Chicken in last position to protect from a possible first attack the card Kobold Miner. As **summoner** I chose **Daria Dragonscale (level 6)**. Thanks to Daria Dragonscale's ability, my melee attack cards increase their attack points by one unit. Battle Considerations The battle I chose to share is by no means a balanced battle, and I start with a huge advantage relative to attack points: 19 attack points VS 8 attack points. I chose to share this battle to show especially to new players **how important it is to choose functional cards that fit the battle rules.** When the rule is Unprotected choosing as a Summoner Drake Of Arnak is equivalent to choosing a Summoner with no ability because the Unprotected battle rule cancels the ability of the Summoner Drake Of Arnak that my opponent used. My opponent's second mistake was to choose to field a card in battle that is strong (Diamond Dragon) but becomes weak when the battle rule is Unprotected. Diamond Dragon has 10 armor points, but they are cancelled by the Unprotected battle rule. Thanks to my opponent's strategic mistakes the battle ends in a few rounds. **Round 1** In the following image you can see the starting situation: My summoner Daria Dragonscale increases the attack points of my cards by one unit. The Slow ability of my opponent's Creeping Ooze and Diamond Dragon cards decrease the speed of my cards by two and allow my opponent to attack first. During Round 1, my opponent loses all cards except Diamond Dragon, which, as the only enemy card in play, increases its battle stats with the Last Stand ability. **Round 2** At the beginning of Round 2 I lose Cerberus and in first position comes Manticore. My opponent's Diamon Dragon card is left with only two life points after Manticore's attack but manages to avoid three consecutive attacks thanks to its high speed (5). **Round 3** The battle ends in the third round of Round 3 and the decisive attack is Elven Cutthroat. From the battle victory I get +38 rating points and 38.26 DEC tokens. A quick battle that earned me the equivalent of **$0.38**. **This battle shows all the importance of battle rules and not following them leads to probable defeat.** The moral of this ~~~fairy tale~~~ battle could be: **A Legendary Diamond Dragon can't win without the protection of his shields!** :) Final Considerations on Elven Cutthroat **Elven Cutthroat** is a useful card in battles when the battle rules are favorable to its playing characteristics. In my view, the battle rules favorable to using the Elven Cutthroat card in battle are mainly: - **Little League**: without the ability to field cards costing more than 4 mana Elven Cutthroat definitely becomes a good choice. - **Equalizer**: Elven Cutthroat has one big weakness: 2 life. When the battle rule is Equalizer Elven Cutthroat gains the life points of the card (friend or foe) that has the most life points, and as a result it loses its weakness and becomes a much more useful and difficult card to remove from battle. - **Unprotected**: Elven Cutthroat has only two life points and no armor points, and by removing armor points from battle many cards become weaker and Elven Cutthroat becomes more useful as a result. - **Rise of the Commons**: Without legendary, epic, and rare cards, the battle utility of a common card like Elven Cutthroat increases. **Elven Cutthroat is a good buy?** Elven Cutthroat is a useful card in battle, but it is also a card that costs a lot more than cards that have similar battle stats. For example, an alternative to Elven Cutthroat is **Uraeus**. Elven Cutthroat has two more speed points than Uraeus Uraeus has 1 armor point while Elven Cutthroat has no armor points. The two cards are basically equivalent in battle but Uraeus costs much less ... With this post I participate in the weekly contest Splinterlands entitled "**Share Your Battle**". If you are a Splinterlands player I highly recommend that you participate as well. I hope you liked this post and thank you for taking the time to read it :) Are you not a Splinterlands player? **Splinterlands is a beautiful game and it has proved to be a very good investment (at least until now) and if you regularly participate to the weekly contests organized by the @splinterlands account you will recover the registration cost (10$) in a short time.** If you decide to register, you can do it from this link: https://splinterlands.com?ref=libertycrypto27 of course if you'd like to use my refferal link... :) Any game that involves the purchase of cards and tokens is never a simple game but it is also an investment and should be considered as such. **I am not a financial consultant and if you decide to invest in the game of Splinterlands you do it for your own choice, after having made your personal evaluations and considered all possible risk factors.** My advice is to always invest only what you can afford to lose with a light heart.

AFIT AIRDROP: Step-by-step guide + Metamask installation and configuration for the BSC ***Cover Image****: The Actifit and Metamask logos are property of their respective owners - Edit by @libertycrypto27- Font used is Open Source* In these days I received some requests for help and information about **Airdrop of AFIT tokens on Binance Smart Chain** and so I thought to write this post in Italian and English in order to be useful not only to those who asked me for help but also to all my readers. In this post you will find: - **A brief introduction to Actifit and AFIT tokens** - **A step-by-step guide to participating in the AFIT Token Airdrop (BEP-20)** - **A step-by-step guide to install the Metamask wallet and configure it to operate on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC)** Actifit and the AFIT tokens **Actifit** is a very well known and used Dapp on **Hive**. The purpose of Actifit is to incentivize people to get moving and get active. The **AFIT** tokens are Actifit's native tokens. People who use Actifit to track their physical activity, do a predetermined minimum amount of physical activity (5000 steps in a day), and post the Actifit report on the Hive blockchain receive daily AFIT tokens as a reward and also receive a small vote from the @actifit account. AFIT tokens can be stored in Actifit's internal wallet (https://actifit.io/wallet), can be used in the Market section of Actifit's website, or can be transferred to **Hive Engine** (https://hive-engine.com/). Once transferred to Hive Engine, AFIT tokens become second-level tokens of the Hive blockchain. Today October 21, 2021 the value of **1 AFIT token** is **0.00073 HIVE = $0.00054** (Highest Bid) Instead, the lowest bid is **0.00135 HIVE = $0.001$** Actifit DeFi Actifit has decided to launch its own decentralized finance platform on the Binance Smart Chain: **Actifit DeFi**. With the Actifit DeFi project, AFIT tokens and AFITX tokens (Actifit's governance tokens) will have their own **BEP-20** version. Free AFIT Airdrop Actifit has decided to reward AFIT token holders with an airdrop that will distribute AFIT tokens (BEP-20). To participate in the Airdrop, you must meet **3 requirements**: - be an **Actifit user** - Have a minimum of **2000 AFIT tokens** prior to the snapshot - have a **Binance Smart Chain wallet address** The distribution of AFIT tokens on the BSC will be done in proportion to the amount of AFIT tokens owned by Actifit users according to the values shown in the table in the image below. For example I have **11000 AFIT tokens** and will receive **66 AFIT tokens (BEP 20)** from the airdrop. The tokens will be sent to airdrop participants when the sale of AFIT (BEP-20) and AFITX (BEP-20) tokens is complete. **The snapshot valid for Airdrop purposes will be taken on Thursday, October 26 at 9:00 AM UTC.** How to participate in the Airdrop - Step by Step Guide Step 1: Login to https://actifit.io/login. - Enter your **Hive username** (arrow number 1 in the following image) - Enter your **Hive Private Posting Key** (arrow number 2) - Click on the little square indicated by arrow number 3 in the following image and solve the CAPTCHA to prove that you are not a BOT. - Click on **Login** (arrow number 4) Step 2: Access the **My Wallet** section - Click on your profile picture (arrow number 1 in the following picture) - Click on "Wallet" (arrow number 2) Step 3: Enter and save your BSC address. On the next screen, inside the "**Your BSC Wallet Address**" box: - Enter your **BSC wallet address** (arrow number 1). - then click on **Save** (arrow number 2) Operation completed! Now all you have to do is wait and when the Actifit DeFi Token Sale is over you will receive the tokens as a reward for your participation in the Airdrop. If you are an Actifit user but do not have a BSC wallet you can follow the following guide. How to install and configure Metamask to operate on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) - Step by step guide - In order to receive and send BEP-20 tokens on the Binance Smart Chain you need a compatible wallet. I have been using the DeFi platform created by the @leofinance community (https://cubdefi.com/) for some time now and to operate on the BSC I chose to install the **MetaMask** wallet on the **Brave** browser. I wrote the following guide when I first started using the BSC. Step 1: Downloading and Installing MetaMask To install the MetaMask wallet you need to visit: https://metamask.io/download and then you need to perform the following actions: **1.** Click on **Download** in the top right corner (as indicated by arrow 1 in the next image). **2.** Click on **Install MetaMask for Brave** (As indicated by arrow 2 in the following image) **Note:** Even though I have set the English language in my browser, Metamask overrides this setting and detects the language of my operating system, which is Italian. For this reason the language in the Metamask images is Italian but the instructions are easy to follow and apply to any Metamask wallet installation.* **3.** Click on **Add** as indicated by the arrow in the next image. **4.** In the next window, click on **Add extension**. **5.** Click on "**Start**". **6.** Click on "**Create a Wallet**". **7.** Choose whether to send anonymous data to help develop Metamask. **8.** Display your **Secret Backup Phrase** as indicated by arrow 1 in the image below and then **Copy** and **Save** your Secret Phrase to multiple digital and paper media to make sure you **never forget it** otherwise you will no longer be able to access your wallet and will lose all cryptocurrencies on MetaMask forever. After saving your secret phrase click on "**Next**". On the next screen you have to confirm your secret backup phrase to make sure it is correct. **9.** **Installation Complete**. Now your Wallet MetaMask is up and running but still needs to be configured to operate on the Binance Smart Chain and to send and receive BEP-20 tokens. Step 3: Configure Metamask to operate on the BSC As soon as Metamask is installed the default network is the **Main Ethereum Network** and your wallet can only send and receive **ETH**. The first step is to create a **Custom Network**. **1.** Click on the rectangle labeled "**Main Ethereum Network**". **2.** In the menu, select "**Custom PRC**". **3.** On the next screen you need to enter the following data: Network Name: **Binance Smart Chain** New RPC URL: https://bsc-dataseed.binance.org/ ChainID: **56** Symbol: **BNB** Block Explorer URL: https://bscscan.com **4.** Click on "Save". **5.** Now you have to reopen the menu for choosing Networks and you have to select the **Binance Smart Chain** network as indicated by the arrows in the next picture. **6.** Now Metamask is ready to interface with the Binance Smart Chain network. **7.** In order to participate in the Actifit Airdrop all you have to do is copy the address of your Metamask wallet into the Your BSC Wallet Address box in the Wallet section of Actifit. Token Sale In addition to participating in the airdrop you can also participate in the Token Sale of AFIT and AFITX tokens in BEP-20 version. You can find all the information at this link: https://tokensale.actifit.io/ There are prizes and rewards for those who participate in the Token Sale. Conclusion Actifit is just one of the many projects in Hive's large ecosystem. If you don't have an account on the Hive blockchain you can easily create one in just a few steps. I wrote a short tutorial where I show how to do it: HIVE: Registration and First Login with PeakD https://peakd.com/hive-177682/@libertycrypto27/hive-registration-and-first-login-with-peakd-tutorial The images in this post are screenshots taken from the sites: https://actifit.io/wallet https://hive-engine.com/ https://metamask.io/ https://actifit.io/@actifit/your-free-afit-airdrop-on-bsc-is-here-setup-your-wallets-before-october-26 https://tokensale.actifit.io/ The font I used in my images or in the images I edited is Open Source

Chaos Legion Presale: Buy or Skip? ***Cover Image:*** *Logo owned by Splinterlands - Edit by @libertycrypto27- Font used is Open Source* We're just over three days away from the start of the pre-sale of card packs from the new Splinterlands card collection: the **Chaos Legion** collection. The pre-sale of the card packs of the new Chaos Legion collection is an event awaited by many Splinterlands players including myself. I have summarized in tabular form some information of the Chaos Legion presale (image below). Some friends like @robibasa and @mad-runner have asked me for advice while other friends like @poliwalt10 have asked me to participate in buying pools. To answer all the people who asked me for information and advice about the upcoming Chaos Legion presale I decided to write this post in which I share some considerations, calculations and assumptions with the aim of giving as much information as possible to those who asked me for help to facilitate their decision to participate or not in the presale that will start on Monday, October 18, 2021. The advantages of the presale The convenience of whether or not to participate in the presale depends primarily on the **advantages of participating in the presale**. The benefits offered by the presale are not the same for all presale participants and depend on the number of card packs purchased during the presale. Benefits based on the number of packs of cards purchased **+ packs of cards purchased = + benefits** Those who buy more packs of cards will have more advantages and below I list the various advantages according to the possible cases of purchase: - **from 1 to 49 packs purchased**: **2% chance** per pack to receive via airdrop at the end of the presale **one limited-edition promo card**. For example, someone who buys 30 packs of cards during the presale will have a 60% chance of receiving 1 limited-edition promo card. - **From 50 to 99 packs purchased**: - **2% chance** per pack to receive limited edition **promotional card**. - guaranteed to receive a limited edition promo card for every 50 packs purchased. In this case one promo card is guaranteed and those who purchase 99 packs of cards will have a 98% chance of also receiving a second promo card. - **from 100 to 499 packs purchased**: - **2% chance** per pack of cards to receive **one limited edition promo card**. - **guarantee** to receive **1 limited edition promo card** for every 50 packs purchased**. In this case, 2 promo cards are guaranteed (100 packs of cards) and those who purchase 499 cards will have 9 guaranteed promo cards and a 98% chance of receiving 10 promo cards total. - **10% bonus** on the number of card packs purchased. Those who buy 100 packs will receive 10 packs as a bonus = 110 packs of cards. - **From 500 to 999 packs purchased**: - **2% chance** for each pack of cards purchased to receive the **limited edition promo card**. - **guarantee** to receive **1 limited edition promo card** **for every 50 packs purchased**. - **15% bonus** on the number of card packs purchased. Those who buy 500 packs will receive 75 packs as a bonus = 575 packs of cards. - **From 1000 to 1999 packs purchased**: - **2% chance** per pack to receive limited edition **promotional card**. - **guarantee** to receive **1 limited edition promo card** **for every 50 packs purchased**. - **15% bonus** on the number of card packs purchased. - **guarantee** to receive **1 limited edition Gold promo card** for every 1000 packs of cards purchased**. For example, if you purchase 1000 packs of cards, you will receive at least: - 19 limited edition promo cards - 1 limited edition promo card in Gold version - acquisition of the title "The Legionnaire" (it will probably have value in the calculation of points of the airdrop of SPS tokens) - **from 2000 card packs purchased**: Whoever buys 2000+ packs of cards will have all the advantages of the previous case and in addition will have a **bonus of 20%** on the number of packs purchased. For example, who buys 2000 packs of cards will receive: - a total of 2400 packs of cards - a minimum of 18 limited edition promo cards + 2 limited edition promo cards in gold version. The obstacle of token Vouchers The above advantages would make the choice to participate in the presale obvious because advantageous and without contraindications. But it is not so because there is an obstacle to overcome for those who want to buy packs of cards during the presale: the **Vouchers** tokens. **No Voucher = No Party! (No Pack!)** During the presale **1 million Chaos Legion card packs** will be made available for purchase and **1 million Voucher tokens** will be distributed at the same time. The requirement to buy a pack of cards is to have and use a Voucher token. **1 Chaos Legion card pack purchased = 1 token Voucher used** The Voucher token distribution mechanism Starting on the first day of the presale of the Chaos Legion collection card packs and every day for the duration of 30 days, an amount of **333 Vouchers** will be distributed to players who have staked their SPS tokens according to the following formula: **33333 / total SPS staked * SPS staked by player** Calculate the number of tokens you can receive in relation to the amount of SPS tokens staked is easy thanks to the calculator of the site https://www.splintercards.com/tool-vouchers.html According to the results of the calculator of the site Splintercards who like me has **9000 SPS tokens in staked** will receive **2.44 token Voucher** per day for a total of **73 token Voucher** after 30 days. Obviously the above calculation is an **estimated calculation** because if the total amount of SPS tokens staked will increase during the presale the amount of Voucher tokens I will receive will decrease. In fact at the time I am writing this post there are more than 100000 liquid SPS tokens that could be staked during the presale. Buy or Skip? If there hadn't been VOUCHER tokens, participating in the presale would have been an opportunity not to be missed more than a possible choice. **Voucher tokens instead change everything and the convenience to participate to the presale will depend on their future value.** Voucher tokens will be distributed on the first day of the presale so today it's not possible to buy them but on Hive Engine there are already some offers to buy them. As you can see in the image above, user trifenix for example is willing to buy one VOUCHER token at the price of 20 HIVE while user shauner is willing to buy 5 VOUCHER tokens at the price of 10 HIVE each for a total of 50 HIVE. **20 HIVE = $17.16**. **10 HIVE = $8.58**. **Based on current purchase requests a token Voucher would cost more than twice as much as a pack of Chaos Legion cards.** Let's assume that the average cost of a VOUCHER token will be during the presale of 10 HIVE. **Is it worth paying $12.58 for a pack of cards during the presale when after the presale it can be bought for $4?** The answer to this question will **depend solely on the value of the card that will be distributed to presale participants**. Today we do not know which card will be distributed to the participants of the pre-sale as we do not know the battle characteristics of the card and therefore at the moment we can only make some considerations and evaluations. 50 packs purchased will guarantee 1 limited edition promo card. 1000 packs purchased will guarantee 1 limited edition promo card in Gold version. On 1 million packs of cards sold during the presale **at least 20000 promo cards** will be distributed (1000000/50). Of these 20000 cards **1000 cards will be Gold version** (1000000/1000). In the hypothetical case in which 1 VOUCHER will cost 10 HIVE = 8,58$, to be sure to receive at least one Promo card I will have to buy 50 packs of cards whose total cost will be given by the sum of the following values: - 200$ (4$ * 50 packs of cards) - $429 ($8.58 * 50 packs of cards). **If I spend 629$ to buy 50 packs of cards I will have a profit and therefore it will have been profitable to participate in the presale if the card I will receive from the airdrop will have a value higher than 429$ otherwise I will have obtained only a loss.** By the way if I look at the values of the cards currently on the market I find only a few cards (Regular version) whose value exceeds $ 429. In the following image you can see the level 1 cards that have a selling price on the market higher than 429$. From the cards in the image above it is better to exclude the cards that have a very limited circulation because their value is also given by the scarcity of copies present. If the card distributed to the participants of the airdrop will be really strong and useful in battle as for example the summoner card **Yodin Zaku** then it could be convenient to buy 50 packs of cards during the pre-sale and spend 12.58$ per pack because I would spend 429$ to receive a card with a market value of 688$ (level 1). In addition, in evaluating the possible market value of the card received from the first airdrop should also be considered that the Yodin Zaku cards in circulation are only 1970. The limited edition promo cards will be at least 20000 even if the combination operation to get stronger cards should make this value go down. For this reason in the case of a voucher worth 10 HIVE the promo card should be even more useful than Yodin Zaku to have a comparable value. Conclusion My participation in the Chaos Legion presale will then depend on **two important elements** to consider: - **voucher token sales value**. - **battle statistics and potential value of the limited edition promo card**. The answers to the following questions will be crucial to my decision whether or not to participate in the presale. **Will the limited edition promo card be announced before or during the presale?** **What will be the value of the VOUCHER tokens?** **If the limited edition promo card will not be announced before the end of the presale** I will most likely not participate in the presale because I do not have the basis to calculate a possible estimated profit so I will sell all my Voucher tokens and when the sale of the cards will be open to all I will try to buy at least 1000 packs of Chaos Legion cards. **If the cost of the Voucher tokens will be more than half of the cost of a pack of cards (2$)** I will participate in the pre-sale only if the airdrop card will be really useful in battle otherwise as in the first case I will sell all my VOUCHER tokens and postpone the purchase of the CHAOS LEGION packs. There are also other elements to consider when deciding whether or not to buy during the presale: - Card packs bought during the presale will be immediately counted in the calculation of the SPS token airdrop score? - Will the title received by someone who buys 1000 packs of cards be immediately counted in the calculation of the SPS token airdrop score? I think we will have the answers to these questions soon because the pre-sale of Chaos Legion card packs is now close. What strategy have you chosen to follow for the presale? Write me in the comments your intentions and plans to buy and I'll be happy to read and comment on them. I hope you liked this post and thank you for taking the time to read it :) Are you not a Splinterlands player? **Splinterlands is a beautiful game and it has proved to be a very good investment (at least until now) and if you regularly participate to the weekly contests organized by the @splinterlands account you will recover the registration cost (10$) in a short time.** If you decide to register, you can do it from this link: https://splinterlands.com?ref=libertycrypto27 of course if you'd like to use my refferal link... :) Any game that involves the purchase of cards and tokens is never a simple game but it is also an investment and should be considered as such. **I am not a financial consultant and if you decide to invest in the game of Splinterlands you do it for your own choice, after having made your personal evaluations and considered all possible risk factors.** My advice is to always invest only what you can afford to lose with a light heart.

@libertycrypto27 13 October 2021

23 months on Splinterlands: Profit, ROI and Considerations + Advices for New Players ***Cover Image:*** *Logo image owned by @splinterlands - Edit by @libertycrypto27- Font used is Open Source* It was October 18, 2019 when I decided to spend $10 to buy the Starter Set (previously called the actual Spellbook). With Splinterlands I discovered a new world, a world I didn't know before: **the beautiful world of blockchain-based games**. Until today I have tried and played several blockchain-based games but among all Splinterlands has been and still is my favorite blockchain-based game and not surprisingly it is also a game that runs on my favorite blockchain: **Hive**. In the landscape of blockchain-based games, Splinterlands is a game unlike many others because at the core of it all and beyond all the features introduced later there is a card and strategy game that is fun to play. Today more than 23 months have passed since the day of my first battle, that first battle was followed by 13515 other battles. I played an average of just over 19 battles a day, and after 13516 battles I still enjoy playing Splinterlands as much as I did the first day. Initially Splinterlands only had two main assets: - the cards and packs - DEC tokens Today Splinterlands game assets are many more and to the cards and DEC tokens have been added over time: - SPT tokens - Plot tokens - Totem tokens - SPS tokens Soon will be released also Voucher tokens useful to participate in the presale of the new collection of Chaos Legion cards. When I like a game, a project or an activity, I also like to write and share my progress and my considerations and that's why for 23 months now I publish a monthly report in which I consider Splinterlands only from the financial point of view and completely leave out the play aspect of the game. And here I am with my twenty-third report on Splinterlands. **Note**: In the numbers of this report the comma "**,**" and the dot "**.**" are both decimal separators. Below are the topics I will be covering in this my monthly report: Report Topics - **Final Result Previous Report** - **Evaluation of Splinterlands as Investment (after 21 months)** - Total Investment Cost - Total Revenues - Value of my card collection - Value of accumulated DEC tokens - Revenues from the sale of DEC tokens - Value of the Plots - Revenues from Farms DEC - BUSD LP (CubFinance) - Value of Splintershards tokens (SPS) - Value of card packs purchased but not opened. - **Profit/Loss calculation** - **ROI calculation** - **Report Results Considerations** - **Month by month history of my investment in Splinterlands** - **Advice for new players** - But do those who sign up today still have a chance to make a good profit? Final Result Previous Report The starting point for each of my monthly reports on Splinterlands is the result I recorded in my previous monthly report. https://peakd.com/hive-146620/@libertycrypto27/is-splinterlands-a-good-investment-22-months-later--advices-for-new-players-splinterlands-e-un-buon-investimento-22-mesi-dopo In the following image you can see the results in terms of ROI and Profit that I calculated and recorded in my previous report (September 16, 2021). The results I have obtained after 22 months since my registration on Splinterlands and up to September 16 have been really good results for me especially when compared to my total cost of investment: - **Total Profit**: **$26764.87** - **ROI**: **5106.44%**. Now, at the same time as writing this report of mine, I will proceed to evaluate my investment in Splinterlands to date. Evaluation of Splinterlands as Investment (after 23 months) Analysis of each investment involves calculating and comparing costs incurred and revenues obtained. Total Investment Cost The total cost of my investment on Splinterlands is given by the following sum: **Registration Cost (Summoner Speelbook: $10) + Total Cost of Cards and Card Packs Purchased + Total Cost of DEC tokens purchased + Total Cost of Plots purchased** **Note:** In calculating the total investment cost I only consider the costs I incurred by injecting external liquidity into the game. Since the date of my last report (September 16, 2021) and until today, October 12, 2021, I have not injected external liquidity in my investment on Splinterlands and for this reason the total cost of my investment remains unchanged from my previous report: **524.14$**. Revenues The total revenue earned from my investment on Splinterlands is the sum of the following values: - the sum of the market value of the **Cards** that constitute my card collection - the gain obtained from the sale of the cards - the gain obtained from the rental of my cards - the value of the **DEC** (Dark Energy Crystal) tokens accumulated and not reinvested. - the gain from the sale of **DEC** tokens. - the market value of the plots that I have purchased. - The gain from the sale of the Plots. - The gain from using DEC tokens in a Farm. - The value of the Splintershards (SPS) tokens I have obtained from the current airdrop to date. - The value of card packs purchased but not opened. How much is my card collection worth? Thanks to the **Peakmonsters** site, it is easy to know the value of my card collection as well as the value of the card collection of any other player. In fact, the value of my card collection is displayed in the **My Cards** section of the Peakmonsters website (https://peakmonsters.com/@libertycrypto27/cards). The Peakmonsters site calculates the value of Splinterlands card collections based on two different prices: **Market Prices** and **List Prices**. To calculate the value of my card collection I always consider the lesser of: - the **total value** using **Market Prices**. - the **total value** using the **List Prices**. Since I write a report every month I have been able to monitor the value of my card collection almost monthly. On March 26, 2021 my card collection had a value of **$819.63** (using Market Prices) On May 3, 2021 my card collection had a value of **1164.44 $** (using Market prices) On May 27, 2021, my card collection had a value of **1349.09 $** (using Market prices) On July 10, 2021 my card collection had a value of **2511.49 $** (using Market prices) On August 11, 2021 my card collection had a value of **11617.01 $** (using Market prices) On September 16, my card collection had a value of $23249.22. Today, October 12, my card collection has a value of **$25293.08**. The value of my card collection has fluctuated especially over the last couple of months and on some days has even exceeded the $30000 mark. Compared to the value I recorded in my previous report I am happy to record another increase in value. In just under a month the value of my card collection has increased by **+2043.86$**. What is the value of the DEC tokens I have in my wallet? **DEC tokens** (**Dark Energy Crystal**) are the **native tokens** of the Splinterlands game, they are obtained as a reward for each battle won within the game and can also be found inside the chests. The **chests** are received every day as a reward for completing daily quests and every 15 days as a reward for in-game achievements at the end of the Splinterlands season. DEC tokens are **utility tokens** because they have many **use cases**: - they can be sold and bought on HiveEngine/LeoDex/TribalDex - can be used to buy cards, potions, Spellbook (starter set) - can be used in the DeFi platforms of CubFinance (https://cubdefi.com/), UniSwap and TribalDex pools. - can be used to pay for card rentals - they count towards the current airdrop score to receive Splinterlands governance tokens (the SPS tokens). In my in-game Splinterlands wallet I have a total of **111933** **DEC** tokens. As you can see from the calculations in the image below, today October 12, 2021, **111993** **DEC** tokens have the value of **1475.74 $** (Highest Bid on LeoDex/HiveEngine/TribalDex) Revenues from the sale of DEC tokens on Hive Engine I have almost always used the DEC tokens earned from battle victories and the sale of my cards in the purchase of cards and card packs with the goal of upgrading and improving the battle strength of my card collection. On one occasion (October 5, 2020) I sold 81000 DEC tokens to do a Power Up on Hive and thus increase my amount of Hive Power (HP). From that sale I received **400.14 HIVE** in return which, at the time of the sale, had a value of **$64.8**. Unfortunately I can't go back in time otherwise I would have performed the reverse transaction :) How much are my Plots worth? On November 21, 2020 I purchased 3 Plots at a great price: **7500 DEC** per plot. So I spent a total of **22500 DEC** whose $ value at the time of purchase was **$19.66**. If I consider the current value of the DEC tokens the 3 plots cost me 296.64$. In the last three months all the assets of the Splinterlands game have acquired a lot of value and also the value of the **plots** has followed the same trend. And to think that initially the plots could be purchased directly from the Shop section of the Splinterlands website spending only **$20**! The Plots have all been sold and already for some time. Now those who want to buy a plot can buy it exclusively from the markets outside the Splinterlands game. Today September 15, 2021, the lowest sales order for a Plot on Hive Engine is 725 HIVE whose dollar value is **$558.97**. Those who have bought so many plots and especially those who have used the credits (dollars) to purchase plots have made a really great investment. A plot that could be bought for 20$ at the end of the year 2020 is now worth 558.97$! For the purposes of calculations in my report I will consider the value of the best purchase offer (Highest BID) on https://hive-engine.com/?p=market&t=PLOT which is **694 HIVE**. The total value of the three plots in my possession is **2082 HIVE** = 694 HIVE * 3 plots = **1605.22$** (previous report value: 1266.13$) Farm DEC-USBD LP Leofinance (https://leofinance.io/) is one of the most active and well-known communities on Hive and has created and developed a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform called CubFinance (https://cubdefi.com/). On CubFinance I have put 24000 DEC tokens to work within the **DEC-BUSD LP (V2)** Farm. So far the liquidity I put into the DEC-BUSD farm has earned me **13,242 CUB tokens = $5.12**. The value of Splintershards tokens (SPS) obtained from the current airdrop The airdrop of **Splintershards (SPS)** tokens, the Splinterlands governance tokens, has contributed greatly to the increase in value of Splinterlands game assets. The airdrop of SPS tokens is an annual airdrop (365 days) and today, October 12, 2021, 78 days have passed since the airdrop began. In 78 days of airdrop I have accumulated a total of **8780 SPS tokens** which I have put all in stakes and whose value is **7190.44$** (image below). Value of card packs purchased but not opened A while back I bought 100 packs of cards from the Untamed collection in bulk from the Shop section of the Splinterlands website, and as a bonus I received 10 free packs of cards. I opened 90 packs of cards and still have 20 packs of cards to open or sell. Today the value of an Untamed card pack at https://hive-engine.com/?p=market&t=UNTAMED (Highest BID) is **70.76 HIVE = $54.55**. The total value of the 20 packs of Untamed cards in my possession is **1091$**. A little bit of calculation... I have now collected all the data I need (Total Costs and Total Revenues) and I can calculate the profit and ROI that I got from my investment on Splinterlands after 23 months. Profit ( Revenues - Costs ) As you can see from the calculations in the following image the **Profit** that I have obtained after 23 months on Splinterlands is **36725.40 $** (previous report 26764.87 $) From September 16 to today October 12, 27 days have passed. In 27 days the profit has increased by almost $10000! Splinterland happily continues to surprise me :) ROI ( Return On Investment ) In my previous report I recorded an ROI of 5106.44%. After 27 days the ROI has increased and is now **6906.79**%. Month by month history of my investment in Splinterlands Below you can see the history of my personal investment on Splinterlands from month six until today September 16, 2021.. *** The trend of **PROFIT** from the sixth month onwards was as follows: - **PROFIT** after 6 months: **27.99 $** - **PROFIT** after 7 months: **82.346 $** - **PROFIT** after 8 months: **24.214 $** - **PROFIT** after 9 months: **78.902 $** - **PROFIT** after 10 months: **44.014 $** - **PROFIT** after 11 months: **149.437 $** - **PROFIT** after 12 months: **307.279 $** - **PROFIT** after 13 months: **316.13 $** - **PROFIT** after 14 months: **311.16 $** - **PROFIT** after 15 months: **338.02 $** - **PROFIT** after 16 months: **392.60 $** - **PROFIT** after 17 months: **687.68 $** - **PROFIT** after 18 months: **1046.56 $** - **PROFIT** after 19 months: **1239.77 $** - **PROFIT** after 20 months: **2232.06 $** - **PROFIT** after 21 months: **13310.82 $** - **PROFIT** after 22 months: **26764.87 $** - **PROFIT** after 22 months: **36201.26 $** The **ROI** trend from month 6 onwards was as follows: - **ROI** after 6 months: **34,73 %** - **ROI** after 7 months: **77.02 %** - **ROI** after 8 months: **10.93 %** - **ROI** after 9 months: **34.33 %** - **ROI** after 10 months: **16.99 %** - **ROI** after 11 months: **57.68 %** - **ROI** after 12 months: **118.59 %** - **ROI** after 13 months: **113.41 %** - **ROI** after 14 months: **111.62 %** - **ROI** after 15 months: **121.26 %** - **ROI** after 16 months: **140.84 %** - **ROI** after 17 months: **246,69 %** - **ROI** after 18 months: **334.33 %** - **ROI** after 19 months: **368.60 %** - **ROI** after 20 months: **425.85 %** - **ROI** after 21 months: **2539.55 %** - **ROI** after 22 months: **5106.44 %** - **ROI** after 23 months: **6906.79 %** Considerations Splinterlands continues its run and all of its assets continue to grow in value such as SPS tokens which just a few weeks ago were worth around $0.25 and are now worth $0.83. 1000 DEC tokens that only 8 months ago (March 11, 2021) were worth $0.68 are now worth $14.02. I'm really very pleased to have believed and invested in the Splinterlands game and I think the best is yet to come.... Splinterlands is a concrete example of all that a blockchain-based game can offer to its players: - fun - exclusive digital ownership of the game assets (tokens and NFT) - many different possibilities of gain and investment Sooner or later the blockchain based games model will be the dominant model in the videogames industry, it's just my personal conviction and it will take some more time but the overtaking of blockchain based games on centralized and traditional games will happen and when it happens I hope to be in the first row. If you have never tried a blockchain-based game I invite you to read a post I wrote not long ago in which I expressed my thoughts on blockchain-based games and compared two games similar in gameplay but very different in their structure: **Splinterlands and Hearthstone**. Photo in the background of Free-Photos https://pixabay.com/it/photos/ocean-wave-mare-acqua-marea-918999/ **Link Post:** https://peakd.com/hive-131619/@libertycrypto27/blockchain-games-the-future-of-gaming-il-futuro-dei-videogames-engita Advices for new players **But do those who sign up today still have a chance to make a good profit?** The first players to have believed in Splinterlands and its potential have really made a winning move from all points of view. Those who enter a successful project like Splinterlands later will obviously grow less quickly than those who built a collection of cards with a few dollars but Splinterlands still has a lot of potential and still has a lot to offer to its players including new players. The advice I always give to new players is to be "Smart" players and look at Splinterlands as a nice project within a great ecosystem that is the Hive blockchain. Those who only play will grow slower in the game of Splinterlands especially if they have decided not to invest external liquidity in the game. Those who are smarter, for example, in addition to playing the game will also participate in weekly contests organized by Splinterlands on the Hive blockchain. In this way he will grow much faster than a simple player and at the same time he will discover and get to know the beautiful and large community of Hive and the many other projects on Hive. Will ROI and Profit grow in the next month or will they suffer a decrease? Follow me to find out ;) I hope you liked this post and thank you for taking the time to read it :) Are you not a Splinterlands player? **Splinterlands is a beautiful game and it has proved to be a very good investment (at least until now) and if you regularly participate to the weekly contests organized by the @splinterlands account you will recover the registration cost (10$) in a short time.** If you decide to register, you can do it from this link: https://splinterlands.com?ref=libertycrypto27 of course if you'd like to use my refferal link... :) Any game that involves the purchase of cards and tokens is never a simple game but it is also an investment and should be considered as such. **I am not a financial consultant and if you decide to invest in the game of Splinterlands you do it for your own choice, after having made your personal evaluations and considered all possible risk factors.** My advice is to always invest only what you can afford to lose with a light heart.

DCROPS: The Quests have arrived! + My Financial Report ***Cover Image****: Logo image owned by @dcrops - Edit by @libertycrypto27 - Font used is Open Source* **Dcrops** is one of the latest games created and developed on Hive's blockchain (May 2021). Dcrops is a farming game that is simple to play and also requires little time to play. Dcrops players play the role of **agricultural entrepreneurs**: - buy land - plant seeds in the land - wait for the seeds to produce plants and agricultural products - harvest and sell the resulting agricultural products. Dcrops is not a free game and in order to play and produce agricultural products you need to buy two types of cards: - the **Land** cards - the **Seed** cards Land and Seed cards are the **NFT** of the Dcrops game and can be of four different types: - Common - Rare - Epic - Legendary Each Land card has a number of plots depending on the rarity type of the card. A Legendary Land has 4 available plots where 4 seed cards can be used at the same time. The number of available plots decreases by one as the rarity of the Land card decreases. Seed cards have different characteristics: - production time - production quantity - selling price (Shares points) - special abilities (epic and legendary cards). In the following image you can see all the Seed cards (Alpha edition) present in the game of Dcrops. **important note**: - Land cards can be used at all times (in all seasons of the game). - Seed cards can only be used in a certain season of the game (every 15 days). **Tips for my friend @pousinha and for all new Dcrops players:** Before buying a Seed card from the Dcrops marketplace: - make sure it is usable in the current season - in case the season has already started a few days ago, make sure there is enough time for the seed card to produce its fruits before the end of the season. Quests have arrived! In the game of Dcrops the time is marked by seasons which have a duration of 15 days. I started playing and investing in the game of Dcrops during the second season which ended shortly before mid-June 2021. Since that day, new features were gradually introduced into the game. At first, the only reward mechanism for Dcrops players was the **Leaderboards** which distributes rewards in terms of CROP tokens (the native tokens of the Dcrops game) every 15 days. Later, the **CROP POWER** mechanism was introduced and a new leaderboard was introduced: **Holding Rewards**. The Holding Rewards ranking distributes daily rewards in terms of HIVE tokens. The big news that has been introduced with the just started season (winter) is the introduction of the third reward mechanism of the Dcrops game: **Quests**. You can read all the details about the Quests in the latest post published by the @dcrops account: Link: https://hive.blog/hive-140217/@dcrops/dcrops-update-quests-booster-items-and-a-rough-roadmap-for-beta-edition My Quests To view the Quests you need to click on **Quests** and then click on "**Create Quests**" within the **Play** section of the Dcrops game. In the following image are the Quests that I must complete if I want to receive chests that contain a total of 10 in-game rewards (NFT). There are some quests that I can complete easily like the quest in the following image because I already have the seed cards I need and just need to plant them. In fact, after planting two Cabbage seed cards... ...I completed my first quest To receive the chests I must complete all 10 quests and I have 15 days available. If I can't complete a quest I can click on the "**Reroll**" button and request a new quest that costs 10 CROP tokens. In this season I will try to complete all the quests that have been assigned to me and the topic of my next post on Dcrops will be just the evaluation of the quests and the convenience of completing them or not ... My end of season report In the game of Dcrops there are **two reward mechanisms**: - **Leaderboard** - **Holding Rewards** The **Leaderboard** rewards players based on game activity. There is a Reward Pool consisting of a certain amount of **CROP** tokens (the game's native tokens) that is divided among all players based on their seasonal farm production. The **Holding Rewards** section is a leaderboard that rewards players based on the type and amount of game assets they own. My Autumn Rewards During the fall season, I used a total of **66 NFT**: - **18 LAND cards** - **48 SEED cards** I sold all of the farm produce I harvested during the fall season and got a total of 739 **Shares points**. Thanks to the Shares points and my placement on the game's Leaderboard, I earned a reward of **650 CROP tokens**. Today October 11, 2021 the value of **1 CROP token** is **0.00375 HIVE** (Highest BID on Hive Engine: https://hive-engine.com/?p=market&t=CROP). CROP tokens have gained value since the end of the previous season of Dcrops (**0.00182 HIVE**). Based on the current value of the CROP tokens the value of my end of season reward is **2.4375 HIVE**. Thanks to the game assets I own I have a **CROP POWER** score of **41812 points**. The requirement to receive rewards from the Holding Rewards leaderboard is to exceed a CROP POWER score of 20000. The rewards are daily and are in HIVE tokens. I passed the CROP POWER score of 20000 points 16 days ago and so far I have received a total reward from the Holding Rewards leaderboard of **1,956 HIVE** If you want to know what the CROP power is and how it is calculated you can read the following post: https://peakd.com/hive-146620/@libertycrypto27/dcrops-and-crops-power-dcrops-e-il-crop-power-engita My investment on Dcrops To date, I have invested in the game of Dcrops **156.56 HIVE**: - **66.18 HIVE**: for the purchase of 34 packs of alpha cards (14 opened and 20 to be opened) - **90.388 HIVE** for purchasing cards from the Market section of Dcrops. If I only consider rewards earned in the season just ended (fall) my **seasonal ROI** is **2.80%**. A gain (ROI) of 2.806% in 15 days equates to an **estimated annual gain** of just over **67.35%**. The estimated ROI value I calculated above increased almost twice as much as the value I had calculated and recorded in my previous seasonal report: 36%. Obviously the ROI I calculated above is an **estimated value** because it will vary based on: - the future value of the CROP tokens - the future value of HIVE tokens - the amount of points Shares produced by me in a year compared to the amount of points Shares produced by other players / investors on Dcrops. - to the future value of my CROP POWER score in relation to the CROP POWER score of the other players. The break-even point In all investments it is important to calculate the break-even point which is the point where the difference between the costs incurred and the revenues obtained is equal to 0. In my strategy in Farming games like Dcrops, **when calculating the break-even point I only consider as revenues the rewards obtained and not reinvested and I don't consider the value of the assets I own.** I do not consider the value of all the assets of the game because I want to have an additional margin of safety in relation to the risk factor that can have a farming game. In this way when I reach the break-even point I will not have any risk associated with the investment and if I decide to leave the game, in all probability, I can make a nice profit even in the worst case. Until now I have invested 157 HIVE in the game of Dcrops but I still have to invest because I have set an investment budget of 200 HIVE and then I could buy other assets of the game but I will not do it for the moment. I've put in "stand by" all my investments in the blockchain based games I play because I'm saving to invest in the purchase of the card packs of the new Splinterlands collection. With the rewards I've received in the last 15 days on Dcrops I've shortened the distance from the break-even point but I'm still far from reaching it. On my in-game wallet I have a total of 1885 CROP tokens whose value is 7.06 HIVE. If I add to this value the total amount of HIVE tokens that I received from Holding Rewards I get a total value of **9,016 HIVE** (total rewards not reinvested in the game). With an investment of 156.57 HIVE I still have to receive rewards worth 147.56 HIVE to reach the break-even point. Are you a new Dcrops player? If you are a new Dcrops player you can read a post I wrote earlier where you will find: - some advices for new players - the explanation of some mechanisms of the game - my purchase strategy related to the cards of the game. *** **Link:** https://peakd.com/hive-131619/@libertycrypto27/dcrops-tips-for-begginers--my-dcrops-fall-strategy-la-mia-strategia-su-dcrops-autunno-engita I hope you liked this report and if you like it, follow me to read my future posts and reports on Dcrops ;) **Important Note:** **Dcrops more than a game is an investment and mainly as such should be considered**.

Splinterlands: My card collection optimization ***Cover Image:*** *Logo and Card images owned by Splinterlands - Edit by @libertycrypto27- Font used is Open Source* Today I want to share my activity of optimizing my card collection. To optimize my card collection: - **I sell the cards that are not very useful in battle** and that are in low demand on the rental market - **I buy cards that are useful in battle** The usefulness in battle The battle usefulness of a card is not the same for all players, a card useful for me could be not so useful for another player and vice versa. This difference in evaluation depends on several factors: - the level and the skill of the summoner card with which a card is used - the level and the skill(s) of the card. Take for example the **Tortisian Chief** card of **level 1** which is a neutral card and can be used with all summoners. In the leagues I play in, Gold league and Diamond league, Tortisian Chief level 1 is a card that is not very useful in battle because it has: - only one magic attack point - two speed points - a mana cost of 5 points. ### <center>The importance of summoner type cards</center> If I use Tortisian Chief with a summoner that doesn't improve its battle stats, I won't have an advantage in battle because the card's stats remain unchanged. If I have a level 4 **Daria Dragonscale** Summoner, I will most likely not use a level 1 Tortisian Chief, but I will prefer to use a card with a melee attack, even if it has only one point of melee attack that will be increased by one unit (1->2). If instead of Daria Dragonscale I have a summoner like **Alric Stormbringer** level 1 in my card collection, the Tortisian Chief level 1 card increases its usefulness in battle because it gains an additional magic attack point (1->2). If I have **Alric Stormbringer** of **level 5** and I have upgraded **Tortisian Chief** to **level 4** Tortisian Chief's battle utility increases considerably because: - it gains **1 additional magic attack point** thanks to the Alric Stormbringer skill - acquires the **Tank Heal** ability that allows the card in the first position to recover a portion of life points each round of the battle. The example above shows the importance of the summoner type cards a player has in their card collection that determine each player's buying and selling strategy. Today I looked at my card collection and decided to sell some cards and below I will explain the reasons that made me make this decision. The Magma Troll card In my card collection I have 11 **Magma Troll** cards of **level 1**. As you can see from the image below, some of my cards have been rented from other players from which I get a daily income of 0.1 DEC tokens per card. The lowest price on the sale market is **$0.69** (Magma Troll level 1) The lowest price for BCX is **0.55$** - Magma Troll level 2 (combination of 8 level 1 cards). The reasons for my sale The reasons I decided to sell all of the Magma Troll cards in my possession are as follows: **Reason #1**: I have cards in my card collection that are stronger and more useful in battle than the level 1 Magma Troll card. Magma Troll is a card that can only attack from the top two positions. In the following image you can see the alternatives I have available in my collection that play much better than level 1 Magma Troll in many battles. **Reason number 2**: It's better to buy other cards instead of upgrading Magma Troll Before I decided to sell my cards I also considered the possibility of upgrading Magma Troll. Magma Troll becomes a more useful card in battle when it reaches level 4 (combination of 30 level 1 cards) because: - it gains an additional attack point (1->2) - increases his speed compared to level 1 by one unit (2->3) - increase his health points by one unit (3->4) But even Magma Troll level 4 does not compete with other cards that are more useful in battle and also cost less. In fact in the following image there are 4 alternatives that cost less and except Grumpy Dwarf, the other cards can attack from all positions unlike Magma Troll which can only attack from the first two positions (except for special battle rules). **Reason #3**: The gain obtainable from renting is low. Magma Troll level 1 is not a very popular card in the rental market and can be rented for 0.1 - 0.09 DEC tokens. At the time of writing this post I have 3 Magma Troll cards rented to other players. One rented Magma Troll card gives me an income of 0.100 DEC tokens with a corresponding dollar value of $0.0013. Any passive income is good income but in this case I prefer to sell the Magma Troll cards in my possession to buy cards that I could use in battle or cards that have higher rental demands than Magma Troll. Section Market site of Splinterlands VS Peakmonsters For the sale of my Magma Troll cards I have used the **My Cards** section of the **Peakmonsters** site (https://peakmonsters.com/) which allows to speed up a lot the operation of selling groups of cards compared to the Splinterlands site. Inside the section My Cards I have inserted in the sub-section **filters** the initial part of the name and the level of the card to sell. Then I selected the cards to sell (first column of the following image). Then I clicked on the symbol at the top right indicated by arrow number 1 in the following image and then clicked on **SELL** as indicated by arrow number 2 in the following image. On the next screen: - I selected the **Relative (+/- Perc)** option - Arrow number 1 in the following image - I selected the **Low Buy Price** option - Arrow number 2 in the following image - I have inserted the **-0.5%** value asically I chose to sell my level 1 Magma Troll cards at a price 0.5% lower than the lowest purchase price on the market. Then I pressed the **REVIEW** button. On the next screen I clicked on **CONFIRM** as indicated by the arrow in the following image. Now I just have to wait for my cards to be purchased. If after 3 days my cards have not been purchased I will lower the sale price. With the earnings from the sale of the cards I will immediately buy other cards Conclusion On October 18, the pre-sale of the new **Chaos Legion** card collection will begin and on November 17, card packs can be opened. So many new cards will arrive in Splinterlands battlefields and they could bring down the price of the less useful cards in battle, so for that date I will try to sell all the cards I don't use in battle except the cards that could gain more value in the future such as gold cards. I hope you liked this post and thank you for taking the time to read it :) Are you not a Splinterlands player? **Splinterlands is a beautiful game and it has proved to be a very good investment (at least until now) and if you regularly participate to the weekly contests organized by the @splinterlands account you will recover the registration cost (10$) in a short time.** If you decide to register, you can do it from this link: https://splinterlands.com?ref=libertycrypto27 of course if you'd like to use my refferal link... :) Any game that involves the purchase of cards and tokens is never a simple game but it is also an investment and should be considered as such. **I am not a financial consultant and if you decide to invest in the game of Splinterlands you do it for your own choice, after having made your personal evaluations and considered all possible risk factors.** My advice is to always invest only what you can afford to lose with a light heart.

Hive Considerations + My Road to 30000 Hive Power: September Report ***Cover Image:*** *Background image is* *CC0 image* *- edit by @libertycrypto27 - Font used is Open Source* https://pixabay.com/it/photos/strada-panorama-orizzonte-dritto-3478977/ It's been over two and a half years since I registered on Hive blockchain (March 5, 2019) and Hive has quickly become a pleasant daily habit of mine: - I like to read the content posted by other authors - I like to interact with other users - I like to participate in various initiatives and contests promoted by communities and other users - I like to help those who are in difficulty and in fact those who have tried to contact me know that my door on Discord is always open especially for new users who may encounter some difficulty in taking their first steps on Hive ;) - I like to support the various projects on Hive - I like to play games based on blockchain developed and built on Hive - I like to publish content related to projects that interest me and in which I have invested. In recent months and thanks to the success of Splinterlands there have been many new signups on Hive. Those who sign up for Hive through Splinterlands might think that Hive is just a decentralized infrastructure that allows Splinterlands to record game transactions. Someone who signs up for Hive because they clicked on a link to a Hive post shared by me or other hivers on a traditional social network might think that Hive is just a decentralized blogging platform. In reality Hive is not just one thing but many things at once! Screenshot from the site: https://hive.io/ **Hive is a DPOS blockchain on which "lives" a large ecosystem of dapp, communities and projects**. In the following image you can see just a very small part of the projects built on the Hive blockchain. The most beautiful aspect of this great ecosystem present on Hive is its **dynamism** and its **continuous expansion**. 24 days ago I wrote a post in which I tried to show the many potentialities and usefulness of Hive and I showed the features of the site https://hiveprojects.io/ that is a good starting point to discover the ecosystem of Hive (link below). *Link:* *https://peakd.com/hive-146620/@libertycrypto27/hive-a-great-potential-and-a-great-and-beautiful-community-hive-un-grande-potenziale-e-una-grande-e-bella-comunita-engita* 24 days ago the https://hiveprojects.io/ website counted a total of 135 projects (apps, sites and tools) built by the Hive community Today there are already **149 projects** listed on https://hiveprojects.io/ Today a HIVE token is worth **$1.05** (source and screenshots: https://coinmarketcap.com/it/currencies/hive-blockchain/) Exactly one year ago (October 5, 2020) a HIVE token was worth $0.157 In one year the value of **1 HIVE** has increased by **+568.79%**. An excellent increase in value, but I still consider it an **underestimated value** for all that the Hive blockchain offers! When I like a project, I also like to share my considerations and my goals on the project in question and today I want to share my personal journey towards the goals that I set several months ago and inherent to the Hive blockchain. Every month I post a monthly report on my growth journey on Hive and I do this for two reasons: - it helps me to self-motivate myself to achieve the goals I set - it helps me promote and publicize Hive because I share my Hive posts on some traditional social networks. My goals on Hive **Main Goal:** **30000 Hive Power** **Secondary Goals** - Engagement Goal (total number of comments): **15000** - Reputation Goal: **76** - Total Number of Posts Goal: **1300** - Followers Goal: **1000** Progress Status Start from the main goal Main Goal: **To be achieved by December 31, 2021.** To track my progress towards my goal I created a simple table with my spreadsheet in which I divided my main goal into smaller intermediate goals of monthly duration. As you can see from the data in the table in the image below the intermediate target I had to reach in September was **2170.40 HIVE** (fifth column in the table: Monthly Target to Reach). My Wallet (September 30, 2021) On August 31, 2021 my Wallet had a value of **18281 HIVE** (HIVE+HP+HBD). On September 30, 2021 I took the screenshot of my Wallet at: https://peakd.com/@libertycrypto27/wallet and as you can see from the image below, 6 days ago my Wallet contained: **49.71 HIVE**, **18390.86 HP** and a total of **362.02 HBD** (9,962+352,067). If I add up all the values (HIVE+HP+HBD) I get a corresponding value in HIVE of **19027.31 HIVE** (on September 30, 2021) In one month the HIVE value of my wallet has increased by **746.32 HIVE** which corresponds to a percentage increase of **+4.08%**. The result I obtained in September is higher than the result of the month of June (+623.22 HIVE) but it is still much lower than the intermediate monthly target that I should have reached in order to reach my final goal. I have updated the table with the September results and the amount of HIVE tokens I need to reach my final goal is **10972.68 HIVE**. In the month of October I should try to increase the value of my portfolio by **3657.56 HIVE** to reach the monthly goal... This is an impossible task but never say never, if some project that I follow or some token that I have in my wallet will acquire a lot of value I could always make a nice Power Up and with a stroke of the tail I could reach the goal of 30000 Hive Power. Secondary Goals Reaching 30000 Hive Power is my main goal but it is not the only goal I have set. I have also set secondary goals that I would like to achieve. Engagement goal (total number of comments): 15000 Out of all the goals, the goal related to the number of comments is the second goal I care most about. The advice I always give to new users is to interact as much as possible on the Hive blockchain by commenting on the posts of other Hive authors who share their same interests or who publish useful and quality content. It's always nice to receive a comment on a post and whoever comments has the opportunity to encourage the publishing activity of the author who follows and at the same time has the opportunity to confront with the ideas, thoughts and moments experienced by another person that may be very different from their own but that are an important moment of personal growth. I've seen many authors complain and abandon Hive because no one was reading and commenting on their posts. But almost always it was the complainers who didn't read and comment on other authors' posts because they didn't understand the importance of interaction. Why, for example, would a reader prefer to read a post on Hive that talks about Bitcoin instead of reading a post on the same topic by a famous and important online newspaper? The answer is simple: **for the interaction with the author of the post and for the atmosphere of sharing and collaboration that exists on Hive.** My comment-related goal is to write a total of 15000 comments by the end of 2021. To date I have written a total of **11266 comments** and my daily average is just over 12 comments per day. To reach a total number of 15000 comments I have to write 3734 comments by the end of the year with an average of 41 comments per day. To reach this goal I need to interact a lot more. I love reading and commenting but I have one big obstacle: time. Reputation Goal: 76 On Hive each account is associated with a numerical value called **reputation**. Reputation is just one of the many elements that differentiates Hive from other centralized, traditional platforms like Facebook and Twitter. On the centralized blogging platforms reputation is not there because it would be a counterproductive element for the owners of the platforms because the users are and must continue to be only source of sellable data to obtain wealth. That's why controls on activities such as SPAM and plagiarism are soft and almost non-existent on Facebook and other centralized platform. In a time frame of two months I increased my reputation by **+0.39 points**. On July 31, 2021 my reputation was **73.54** points On September 30, 2021 my reputation was **73.93** points According to the information on the website: https://hivebuzz.me/ranking I am in the number **485** place in the reputation ranking of all users on Hive. The value of the reputation of an account is not always a reliable value because in the past and before the birth of Hive was allowed to use bid-bots but I have never used bid-bots and for this reason I keep this value that provides an indication of my activity of publication and interaction on Hive. Reaching a reputation of 76 will be virtually impossible but if I get close to 75 I will be satisfied. Target Total Number of Posts: 1300 I set a goal for the number of posts I publish in order to self-motivate me to be consistent in the publication of content on Hive: to write a total of 1300 posts by December 31, 2021. In September, I exceeded 1050 published posts and stopped at 1053. To reach my goal I would have to publish 247 posts in three months with an average of 2.74 posts per day. With my current work and family commitments I can hardly publish a post every day and then I think that this goal will be almost impossible to achieve because I do not have the ability to summarize and I often take too long writing a post... Followers goal: 1000 On September 1 I had 762 followers, today I have 836 followers. In the month of September I increased the number of followers by 74. Screenshot from the site: https://peakd.com/@libertycrypto27 September: Considerations The month of September was perhaps the month I posted the least since I've been on Hive. I could have done more but I'm satisfied with the results I obtained especially if I consider the little time I had to dedicate to the activities I like to do and, reading posts, publishing content, commenting, interacting and playing games on Hive are all activities I like very much. Compared to August, I have increased the total amount of rewards I have received as a result of my author activity. - Total Author Rewards (HP): **528.26 HIVE** (last month: **440.18 HIVE**) Curation rewards have decreased but this is a result that I expected because last month I received a delegation of 5000 HP for the duration of 25 days as a reward for my participation in a contest of the community of Olio di Balena. - Total Curation Rewards (HP): **123.78 HIVE** (last month: **169.5 HIVE**) Conclusion I set all of the goals in this monthly report of mine 11 months ago (November 2020). In all likelihood I will not reach any of the goals that I have set but my commitment will still be maximum in trying to at least get closer to my goals because I believe in the project of Hive and grow on Hive is one of my priorities. In conclusion I want to thank all the people who follow me, who read and comment on my posts and all the people who support me because they have dedicated their time and contributed to the growth of my account. A special thanks goes as always to @fedesox, the creator of the community of [Olio di Balena](https://peakd.com/c/hive-146620/created) of which I am a happy moderator, who supports me since I was a small and inexperienced user of Hive. I would also like to thank the nice @discovery-it community who honored me by giving me the opportunity to become one of their curators. Thanks also to the Leofinance community (https://leofinance.io/) and the Neoxian community (https://www.neoxian.city/) whose curators and members have often supported my posts. Thanks also to @splinterlands who introduced me to the wonderful world of blockchain-based games. Thank you all **What goals have you set for yourself on Hive?** If you like, you can write your goals in the comments and I will be happy to read them.</center> If you haven't set yourself any goals, I suggest you do so because setting goals is the first step towards achieving them. If you are not a Hive user you are missing a great opportunity to be part of an important project. On Hive you will not be just a simple user as on Facebook & Co. but you will be a part of Hive. If you don't have a Hive account you can easily create one in a few steps.

Splinterlands: Changing Game Economy and Rewards - Considerations and Advice for New Players ***Cover Image:*** *Logo image owned by Splinterlands - Edit by @libertycrypto27- Font used is Open Source* In the game of Splinterlands, seasons follow each other and have a duration of 15 days. Today, September 30, 2021, my 48th season since becoming a Splinterlands player ended. I was writing my usual post about the evaluation of my last season of Splinterlands when I read the last post published by Splinterlands that contains important news and so I changed my mind and decided to write a different post than I had planned. **Today @splinterlands announced some changes to the game's economy and to the mechanisms for awarding daily and seasonal rewards.** These changes became active with the start of the current season. You can read the post published by Splinterlands at the following link (on Hive blockchain): Link: https://peakd.com/splinterlands/@splinterlands/game-economy-and-reward-updates Changes to Treasure Chest Contents for Novice/Bronze Leagues The first change that is already active right now concerns the Daily Missions Rewards and the End of Season rewards for players playing in the following leagues: - **Novice** - **Bronze III** - **Bronze II** - **Bronze I** Before the current change, the probability of finding a certain prize inside a chest was the same for everyone: - 50% Reward Card (NFT) - 25% DEC token - 25% Potion With the new change, the probability of finding a card in a chest will increase as you advance in league (Novice/Bronze III -> Silver III+ league). In the following image you can see the new percentage chance of finding Cards, DEC tokens and Potions for each league affected by the recent change. The main change is the **introduction of Credits**, which before this update could only be purchased and can now be found in chests. **Players who play in Novice and Bronze leagues will no longer receive DEC tokens but credits.** **For players who play in the Silver III+ leagues nothing changes and everything remains as before.** Splinterlands' motivation for this update is contained in the following quote: *The change from DEC to Credits is necessary to prevent a similar restructuring from happening in the future if the external market price of DEC tokens significantly rises again, and the reduction in the chance of receiving a card is necessary to reduce the rate at which the new reward cards are being "farmed" by accounts with little to no in-game assets being held.* Changes to the reward mechanism for battle victories The second change concerns the mechanism for awarding DEC tokens for each battle won. In the Splinterlands game, there is a Reward Pool consisting of a certain amount of DEC tokens that is distributed daily to players as a reward for each battle won. Have you ever noticed the fact that winning a battle in the early days of the season allowed you to receive a higher reward in DEC tokens than in the later days of the season? The reason is that in the last days of the season players are more active and a higher number of battles corresponds to a lower amount of DEC tokens received by each player for each battle won. The change announced today is already active and affects all Splinterlands players, differently to the change regarding the content of the chests. Before today's change, the reward for each battle victory depended not only on the Reward Pool and the number of battles played in a day, but also on each player's rating score: **Greater rating score = greater amount of DEC tokens received for each battle won**. This direct proportionality has been modified and now has a threshold linked to the league a player is in. For example, a player who has a rating score of 3000 points and plays in Gold I league will receive a reward not based on his rating score but based on the **maximum rating score of the league he is in**, which is 2199 points. The player in the example will therefore receive a reduced reward compared to the reward he received before the recent update. A player who has a rating score higher than the maximum rating score of a league is a player who cannot advance in a league because he does not meet the second requirement to enter the next league which is the power rating. In order to receive a higher reward, the player in the example will have to increase his power score. The power score is the sum of the DEC token conversion values of the cards (not delegated and not for sale) that compose a card collection. The Power Score can only be increased in three ways: - buy cards - renting cards - receive cards in free delegation from other players Splinterlands' reasons for this change are in the following quote: *This change will go a long way to properly aligning incentives for players to increase their collection power and move up into higher leagues.* Considerations I play and have played several blockchain based games and Splinterlands is the most complete and fun game I have played so far. With these changes the cards, especially the strongest and most useful cards in battle, gain weight in the attribution of rewards because: - the player who wants to receive more DEC tokens from the victories in battle must increase his power score and therefore must buy or rent cards to advance in the most advanced leagues - the player who wants to advance in the higher leagues of Splinterlands must focus on buying and renting the most useful cards in battle (legendary cards or cards with strong abilities). All changes introduced in any game have advantages and disadvantages and can be favorable to one group of players and unfavorable to another. Surely these changes will create discontent among new players who will see their possibility to grow without investing slower. On the other hand, those who have invested more in cards than in other assets of the Splinterlands game will be happy. The new changes will create discontent for those who use bots because they will see their rewards decrease. Personally I see many positive aspects in this update even if I'm sorry for the discontent that some new players who have just started their adventure on Splinterlands might feel. For this reason I want to give a dispassionate advice based on my experience of 2 years and a half on Hive and 22 months on Splinterlands to those who have just started playing Splinterlands and have little money to invest. Simple Player VS Smart Player The advice I would give to those who have just joined Splinterlands and may be disappointed by this change is to choose to become a **Smart Player** instead of being a simple player. Let me explain ;) A **simple player** of Splinterlans plays and enjoys the game but his growth within the game will be slow if he is not going to invest in buying Splinterlands cards and assets. The **Smart Player** not only sees Splinterlands but also sees and understands the potential of the house on which Splinterlands "lives" and functions: **Hive**. The **Splinterlands Smart player**: - **publishes Splinterlands-related content on the Hive blockchain** and **earns HIVE** tokens and second-layer Hive tokens such as **SPT** tokens (which he can staked or reinvest in card purchases and other game assets). - **participates regularly in Splinterlands** contests and receives two votes per week from the @steemmonsters account which is one of Hive's biggest stakeholders. - **participates in the giveaway** organized every day by other Splinterlands players to receive with a little luck free cards. In my collection of cards I have the card **Scarred LLama Mage** (current value $ 357) that I received for free thanks to my participation in a giveaway organized by @dexpartacus **Splinterlands is not an ordinary game because it's a game developed and running on the Hive blockchain, a blockchain that has many advantages such as transactions at 0 cost.** **The added value of Splinterlands is Hive and the added value of Hive is Splinterlands!** Conclusion The airdrop of SPS tokens has led to a considerable increase in all Splinterlands game assets and in particular has taken the value of DEC tokens to the moon. The announcement of the pre-sale of Chaos Legion card packs led to an increase in the value of SPS tokens. What will happen with the latest changes made by the Splinterlands team? Write me your thoughts and opinions in the comments of this post and I'll be happy to read them! I hope you liked this post and thank you for taking the time to read it :) Are you not a Splinterlands player? **Splinterlands is a beautiful game and it has proved to be a very good investment (at least until now) and if you regularly participate to the weekly contests organized by the @splinterlands account you will recover the registration cost (10$) in a short time.** If you decide to register, you can do it from this link: https://splinterlands.com?ref=libertycrypto27 of course if you'd like to use my refferal link... :) Any game that involves the purchase of cards and tokens is never a simple game but it is also an investment and should be considered as such. **I am not a financial consultant and if you decide to invest in the game of Splinterlands you do it for your own choice, after having made your personal evaluations and considered all possible risk factors.** My advice is to always invest only what you can afford to lose with a light heart.

DCROPS: My Financial Report and My Considerations ***Cover Image:*** *Logo image owned by @dcrops - Edit by @libertycrypto27 - Font used is Open Source* I am convinced that the future of the video game industry will be dominated by blockchain-based games, it will take some more time, but the rise will happen. That's why I look carefully at every new blockchain-based game but unfortunately, due to the limited time I have available, I can't try them all so I have to make choices. Dcrops is one of the last games I decided to try and invest in. **Dcrops** is a farming game based on Hive's blockchain. It is an easy game to play and requires little time to play. If this is the first time you're hearing about the game of Dcrops you can read a post I wrote earlier where: - I wrote some tips for new players - I explained some mechanisms of the game - I showed my buying strategy related to the cards of the game. *** **Link:** https://peakd.com/hive-131619/@libertycrypto27/dcrops-tips-for-begginers--my-dcrops-fall-strategy-la-mia-strategia-su-dcrops-autunno-engita I love nature and this is one of the reasons why I decided to join Dcrops because in the game of Dcrops I play the role of a farmer. On Dcrops, time is marked by seasons that are the same as in real life (spring, summer, autumn, winter) but last only 15 days. The summer season has just ended and the autumn season has started and will end in just over 14 days. My end of season report In the game of Dcrops there are **two reward mechanisms**: - **Leaderboard** - **Holding Rewards** The **Leaderboard** has a Reward Pool consisting of a certain amount of **CROP** tokens (the game's native tokens) that is divided based on the agricultural production obtained by players during each season of the game. The **Holding Rewards** section is a ranking that rewards players based on the type and amount of game assets they own. Until a few days ago, I had been focusing solely on in-game assets (SEED cards and LAND cards) and the rewards correlated to the Leaderboard section of the game. During the summer season I invested in buying packs of cards to try and get rewards from the **Holding Rewards** section as well. My Summer Rewards The Dcrops game is a relatively young game and is still in an early development phase: the **alpha** phase. I would like it if it were possible to review all of the previous season's game results such as ranking, but the History section is still under development. I hope that the development team of @dcrops will complete this feature as well as I hope that the **Quests** feature will be made available soon, a feature that has been announced but not yet implemented. During the summer season I used a total of **59 NFT**: - **18 LAND cards** - **41 SEED cards** From the sale of my farm products, I have earned a number of **Shares points** of just over **1000 points**. Thanks to the Shares points and my placement on the game's Leaderboard, I earned a reward of **1245 CROP tokens**. Just a few days ago, my **CROP POWER** score exceeded **20000 points**. A CROP POWER score above 20000 points allows you to receive Holding Rewards from the Dcrops game. The rewards are daily and are in HIVE tokens. I've only been over the CROP POWER score for two days and have only received two daily rewards so far. These rewards will grow in the coming days because the CROP POWER score is an average value relative to 15 days and I purchased 20 packs of cards just a few days ago. If you want to know what the CROP power is and how it is calculated you can read the following post: https://peakd.com/hive-146620/@libertycrypto27/dcrops-and-crops-power-dcrops-and-the-crop-power-engita My investment on Dcrops To date, I have invested in the game of Dcrops **156.56 HIVE**: - **66.18 HIVE**: for the purchase of 34 packs of alpha cards (14 opened and 20 to be opened) - **90.388 HIVE** for purchasing cards from the Market section of Dcrops. I consider all farming games to be primarily investments, so I like to analyze them from a financial perspective. If I take into consideration only the total value of the rewards received in the last season, my end-of-season reward is equivalent to **1.539%** of the invested capital. A gain (ROI) of 1.539% in 15 days equates to an **estimated annual return** of just over **49%**. The estimated ROI value I calculated above is decreased from the value calculated in my previous report (72%). Obviously the 36.94% ROI is an **estimated value** because it will vary based on: - the future value of CROP tokens - future value of HIVE tokens - the amount of shares points produced by me in a year compared to the amount of shares points produced by other Dcrops players. - the future value of my CROP POWER score in relation to the score of the other players and to the purchased game assests. The break-even point In all investments it is important to calculate the break-even point which is the point where costs and revenues have the same value. In my strategy in Farming games like Dcrops, **in calculating the break-even point I only consider as revenue the rewards obtained and not reinvested and I don't consider the value of the assets I own.** I do not consider the value of all the assets of the game because I want to have an additional margin of safety in relation to the risk factor that can have a farming game. In this way when I reach the break-even point I will not have any risk associated with the investment and if I decide to abandon the game, in all probability, I can make a nice profit even in the worst case. I have raised the budget of my investment on Dcrops several times and have decided to increase it further and set it at **200 HIVE**. Even if I'm under the budget that I have allocated to Dcrops I will not invest more HIVE in the immediate future because there are only a few days to the pre-sale of the new collection of cards of Splinterlands (October 18, 2021) and I want to save as much as possible to have a greater possibility of purchase of packs of cards from Splinterlands. Getting back to the break-even point calculation, I'm still far from reaching it. So far I've reinvested all the rewards from my gaming activity into buying cards and purchasing Dcrops card packs, so I have yet to accumulate 154.16 HIVE of value from in-game rewards and/or selling game assets. This season (fall) I have been using all of my LAND card lands and have used a portion of the SEED cards in my possession. In six days I will harvest my first crop and start earning Shares points. This season I will have the opportunity to evaluate the gains obtained from the Holding Rewards leaderboard and in my next post I will make a comparison between the rewards of the two reward mechanisms present in the game of Dcrops (Leaderboard and Holding Rewards) to evaluate possible future optimizations and investment strategies. I hope you liked this report and if you like it, follow me to read my future posts and reports on Dcrops ;) **Important Note:** **Dcrops more than a game is an investment and mainly as such should be considered**. In every kind of investment there is always a **risk factor** to evaluate and consider. **I am not a financial advisor and my post does not want to be in any way an invitation to invest on Dcrops but it is just the analysis and sharing of my personal investment on Dcrops on September 27, 2021.** My advice is to always invest only what you can afford to lose with a light heart!

Splinterlands: Chaos Legion Presale - Info, Calculations and Considerations ***Cover Image:*** *Logo owned by Splinterlands - Edit by @libertycrypto27- Font used is Open Source* Today Splinterlands published a post (on Hive blockchain) with information and details about the release of the new Chaos Legion card collection. Link Splinterlands post: https://peakd.com/splinterlands/@splinterlands/chaos-legion-set-and-presale-info I wanted to summarize all the information contained in the Splinterlands announcement post in tabular form for quicker and faster reference. The first phase will then be the pre-sale. The pre-sale will begin on Monday **October 18, 2021** and will end after 30 days, on **November 17, 2021**. **Packs of cards will cost $4** each and can be purchased using: - **DEC** tokens: the market value of the DEC tokens at the time of purchase will be taken into account - **SPS** tokens: those who purchase card packs directly using SPS tokens will receive a 10% discount on the purchase price. - **Credits** Compared to Untamed card packs, the price of Chaos Legion card packs is exactly double: **$4** each. On the other hand, the conversion value of the cards of the Chaos Legion collection into DEC is half that of the Untamed cards. Airdrops There are 14 airdrops planned for those who purchase Chaos Legion card packs, and buying the card packs early in the presale will allow you to participate in all 14 planned airdrops. Each time 1 million Chaos Legion card packs are sold there will be an airdrop that will have as a prize a certain number of cards from the Chaos Legion collection to be distributed. The mechanism of the airdrops is similar to the airdrops that took place for the Untamed card packs but with some differences. For the Untamed collection the airdrops occurred every 100000 packs of cards sold. For the Chaos of Legion collection there will be an airdrop every time 1 million packs are sold. **The first airdrop will be exclusively for those who participate in the pre-sale and a prize of 1 limited edition promo card will be guaranteed to those who purchase a minimum of 50 packs of cards.** The Vouchers Vouchers are definitely a novelty! To buy Chaos Legion card packs during the presale you will need to have a voucher for each card pack you want to buy. **No Voucher = No Party! (No Pack)** This is the big news introduced by the team of Splinterlands that actually adds a new use case to the governance tokens of Splinterlands: the SPS tokens or more precisely to the SPS tokens staked. To the one million packs of cards that can be purchased during the presale will correspond the distribution of one million Vouchers. The Vouchers will be tokenizable game items and therefore can be transferred, bought and sold on markets outside the Splinterlands game such as on Hive Engine (https://hive-engine.com/). The Voucher token distribution mechanism Starting from the first day of the presale of the Chaos Legion collection card packs and every day for the duration of 30 days, an amount of 33333 Vouchers will be distributed to players who have staked their SPS tokens according to the following formula: **33333 / total SPS staked * SPS staked by player** If, for example, the distribution of vouchers was today and not October 18, 2021, each player would get **0.000357 vouchers for each SPS token staked**. I have been staking my SPS tokens since day one and have a total of **6903 SPS tokens** (staked). With this amount of SPS tokens I would get **2.46 Voucher tokens per day** (assuming today was the first day of the presale) and I could buy 2 packs of Chaos Legion cards per day and a total of 73 packs of cards. In the calculations of the previous table I did not consider the limit of 1 million SPS tokens (staked) and therefore I should have received a higher number of tokens. In fact **for the distribution of Voucher tokens will be considered for each player a maximum limit of 1 million SPS tokens (staked)**. In reality, the amount of Voucher tokens I expect to get will be lower for the following reasons: - Vouchers will push players who have liquid SPS tokens to stake them, and thus increase the total amount of staked SPS tokens. - Holders of more than 1 million staked SPS tokens may create new accounts and distribute SPS tokens across multiple accounts, again increasing the total number of staked SPS tokens. Will the value of SPS tokens go up? **Mine is only a prediction and not a financial advice** but I really think that the value of SPS tokens will increase and in fact already today, after few hours from Splinterlands announcement, the value of SPS tokens increased by +29.6%. The SPS tokens in circulation are 220000 (September 24, 2021) and the total supply will increase to reach the maximum supply of 3 billion tokens. The large number of SPS tokens that will be in circulation in the future is not something I consider positive but on the other hand the positive aspect is that SPS tokens already have several use cases and will have more in the future. Currently, SPS tokens: - can be staked to obtain a passive income - Are the entry requirement for Splinterlands tournaments. - can be used to add liquidity to some pools In the near future: - they will be the base of calculation to receive Voucher tokens - will allow to have a 10% discount on the purchase of packs of cards from the Chaos Legion collection In the future SPS tokens will be added to DEC tokens in the rewards of game battles won and will have other use cases and will always be a requirement for access to future promotions and game activities as highlighted in the last post published by @splinterlans: I took the following quote from the post: https://peakd.com/splinterlands/@splinterlands/chaos-legion-set-and-presale-info >The VOUCHER system for Chaos Legion presale pack purchases, in addition to the 10% discount for purchasing Chaos Legion presale packs with SPS tokens are just some of the first ways that the SPS token, and SPS stake, will be utilized within the Splinterlands game. The Splinterlands team plans to use the same VOUCHER system, or something very similar, for providing early access to limited releases for new items and features and we also plan to provide discounts and other incentives for spending SPS tokens for purchases in many different areas of the game in the future, where appropriate. For the reasons stated above, today I decided to use the SWAP.HIVE tokens I had in my Hive Engine wallet to buy SPS tokens to add to the amount of tokens I had. To make my purchase I had two options: **Hive Engine** or the **Pool section of Tribal DEX**. **Comparing the two methods of purchasing Hive's second level tokens is something I always recommend doing**. In fact if I bought the SPS tokens on Hive Engine I would have spent **28.45 HIVE** and I would have bought **48.73** **SPS** tokens (image below). Instead, I purchased SPS tokens from the **SWAP** subsection of the **POOL section of TribalDex** (https://tribaldex.com/dieselpools/) and with the same amount of SWAP.HIVE tokens, I bought just over **50 SPS tokens**. My purchasing goals Before today's announcement of Splinterlands I thought I would be able to buy at least 200 packs of Chaos Legion cards and to make the purchase I intended to use the HBD tokens that I am continuing to accumulate in my wallet. With the price of $4 per pack I may be able to buy fewer packs of cards but I still have a few days before October 18 so I may still be able to meet my minimum purchase goal. **Splinterlands is my favorite blockchain based game and it is also a game developed and built on my favorite blockchain (Hive) so I will try to buy as many card packs as possible during the presale.** Based on my calculations and predictions I will definitely have to buy token vouchers in order to finalize my purchase and when the Voucher tokens are distributed I will re-evaluate my purchase goals also based on the price the Voucher tokens will have...

Splinterlands: How to Buy Cards From Monster Market - Step by Step Guide ***Cover Image****: Logo owned by @monstermarket - Edit by @libertycrypto27- Font used is Open Source* Monster Market and the optimization of my card collection My activity of optimizing my Splinterlands card collection consists of: - **sell the cards I don't use in battle** - **buy cards useful in battle.** Yesterday I put **62 level 1 Barking Spider cards** up for sale for the following reasons: - Barking Spider level 1 is an unuseful card in battle because it has only one point of attack from a distance. Barking Spider increases its usefulness and strength in battle only when it reaches level 4 (combination of 30 level 1 cards). - I have 2 level 4 Barking Spider in my card collection that I have made available for rental. - Barking Spider level 1 has very few rental requests. I tried to rent my 62 level 1 cards but rented few while I rented my level 4 Barking Spider cards fairly easily. - I have earth element cards in my card collection that are much stronger than Barking Spider and I don't have summoners that can increase the attack points of cards with ranged attack like Barking Spider. Of the 62 cards I put up for sale yesterday, I have already sold 38 cards at $0.368 each and I still have 24 level 1 Barking Spider cards left to sell. I used the profit I made from selling the Barking Spider cards to purchase some cards that, combined, will allow me to upgrade and add an ability to an earth element card I have in my card collection: **Orc Sergent**. My latest purchase also gives me a chance to introduce the **Monster Market** site to new players and those who have never used it. Personally, I always prefer third-party marketplaces for selling, renting, and buying Splinterlands cards. For selling, renting, and BID offers I use the Peakmonsters site (https://peakmonsters.com/). For immediately purchasing cards for sale in the Splinterlands marketplace my choice is always the **Monster Market** site: https://monstermarket.io/ Monster Market Monster Market is a third-party marketplace that provides Splinterlands players with a great alternative to buying cards from the Market section of the Splinterlands site. Splinterlands Site Market VS Monster Market Monster Market offers more features and benefits than the Splinterlands Market. 3% Cash Back The big advantage offered by Monster Market to its users is the **cash back of 3%** on the purchase of Splinterlands cards. Those who purchase cards from the Market section of the Splinterlands website do not receive any kind of cash back. + Filters = - Time to purchase In the Market section of Splinterlands website there are some filters to narrow and optimize the research of the cards to buy (following image). Monster Market offers a **higher number of search filters** than the Splinterlands site. On Monster Market you can: - **search cards by name or by ability** - **order cards according to 7 different values**. How to buy cards from MonsterMarket With the proceeds from the sale of the 38 Barking Spider cards I decided to buy 65 level 1 Orc Sergent cards from Monster Market. In my card collection I have one level 3 Orc Sergent card (23 BCX). My goal is to upgrade the Org Sergent card to level 6 because it gains the Inspire ability (+ 1 point of melee attack to all cards with melee attack deployed in battle). Orc Sergent level 3 is a card not very useful in battle and especially in the leagues where I play (Gold I - Diamond) while it becomes very useful when it reaches level 6. Now I show you the steps that I followed to purchase 65 Org Sergent cards from the site Monster Market. Step by step guide **Step 1**: To purchase from the Monster Market site, the first step is to **Login**. To log in, you will need to install Hive Keychain (https://hive-keychain.com/): **Hive Keychain** is a very useful tool that allows you to securely access the Hive blockchain. It is my preferred method of access. It's an extension available for the following browsers: - **Brave** or **Chrome** ([Link](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hive-keychain/jcacnejopjdphbnjgfaaobbfafkihpep)) - **Firefox** ([Link](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/hive-keychain/)) **Step 2:** After logging in **I entered part of the Orc Sergent** card name in the "Search" field and then clicked on the image of the Regular (Non Gold) version of the card. **Step 3:** On the next screen, I clicked on the **+** symbol to choose the cards to purchase and then clicked on the x in the upper right corner. **Step 4:** I confirmed the purchase inside the **Your Cart** section (top left corner of the Home Page) **Step 5:** I confirmed the operation also on my **Hive Keychain**. Purchase made! Easy right? After a few seconds I received my **cash back** in my wallet on Hive Engine (https://hive-engine.com/): **117,586 DEC tokens** The other sections of Monster Market website The **Monster Market home page** is where you can buy Splinterlands cards from. There are also other sections on Monster Market that offer other features. Section SHOP From the **SHOP** section you can purchase packs of Splinterlands cards. **Note:** at the moment there are no packs of cards available for purchase but in the future it will surely be possible to buy packs of cards of the Chaos Legion collection. **CREDITS** From the **CREDITS** section you can buy credits and DEC tokens. TeamShare section From the TeamShare section it is possible to entrust the game management of a collection of cards to another player. At the time of writing this post there are no accounts available. TOOLS section Inside the **TOOLS** section there are several useful tools. For example the **Market History** tool produces a screen with all the transactions made in chronological order. As you can see from the following image the first two transactions are just the Orc Sergent cards I purchased using Monster Market. Clicking on the DISCORD section you are directed to the Discord channel of Monster Market (https://discord.gg/TXNeEmvwEq) When I want to buy Splinterlands cards the **Monster Market site is my first choice because in addition to being a functional and well built site it is also the only marketplace that offers cash back on card purchases**.

How to sell Splinterlands cards from the Peakmonsters marketplace (quickly and easily) ***Cover Image****: Logo owned by Peakmonsters - Edit by @libertycrypto27- Font used is Open Source* Today I want to share my activity of optimizing my card collection which consists in selling the cards I don't use in battle to buy useful cards in battle. At the same time I want to show **how to sell a group of cards using the useful Peakmonsters site** (https://peakmonsters.com/). My card collection consists of a total of 1788 cards. I have many cards in my card collection that I never use or rarely use. The first option I consider for cards that I don't use in battle is renting. If renting doesn't give me a good return then the only option I consider is selling. Among the cards I don't use in battle is the **Barking Spider** card. **Barking Spider** is a card that is part of the **Reward** collection and is available in two versions: **Regular** and **Gold**. It is a **Common** card and is a card of the **Earth** element. **Barking Spider** of **level 1** is not very useful in battle because it has only one point of attack from a distance. **Barking Spider** when it reaches **level 4** (combination of 30 level 1 cards) increases its usefulness because compared to level 1: - it acquires one more attack point (1->2) - acquires one more speed point (2->3) - acquires one more life point (5->6) This is a card that plays well in the Silver leagues of Splinterlands and is especially useful when the battle rule is "Little League". In the leagues where I play (Gold I and Diamond III leagues) Barking Spider is not very useful for me because I have cards that have much better battle characteristics than Barking Spider such as Goblin Thief level 4, Child of the Forest level 3, Javelin Thrower level 4 and Magi of the Forest level 3. In my card collection I have: - 2 level 4 Barking Spider cards - 62 level 1 Barking Spider cards I have decided to sell the 62 level 1 Barking Spider cards in my possession. Splinterlands Marketplace VS Peakmonsters marketplace For the operation of putting on sale I used the useful site of Peakmonsters that facilitates and speeds up the operation of sale. **I strongly recommend to use Peakmonsters to rent and sell your cards because the many filters on the site allow you to save a lot of time.** In fact, if I chose to sell my 62 cards from the Splinterlands site, I would have had to repeat the same operation **62 times** = **(3 clicks + insert sale price) multiplied by 62** times! Thanks to the Peakmonsters website, the operation is much easier and faster. In the last two months many new players have joined the game of Splinterlands and for this reason I want to show the steps that I have done to sell 62 cards from the Peakmonsters site in order to be useful to those who do not yet know this very useful site. How to sell groups of cards from Peakmonsters After logging in I clicked on the **My Cards** section of the Peakmonsters site. Within the My Cards section there are many filters to choose from that allow you to narrow down and speed up the search for the cards you want. In my case it was enough to **insert part of the name of the Barking Spider** card with the indication of **level 1**. Then I clicked on the first symbol at the top left (**Select All**) to select all 62 level 1 Barking Spider cards with a single click. Then I clicked on the symbol in the upper right corner indicated by arrow number 1 in the following image and then clicked on **SELL** as indicated by arrow number 2 in the following image. **Note**: if you have cards delegated to other players or made available for rental you must first remove the delegation or rental otherwise the SELL button will not be clickable. In the next screen I chose to put all 62 cards up for sale at a **sale price 0.5% lower than the lowest price per BCX on the market**. Next, I clicked **REVIEW**. In the next screen I confirmed the sale transaction by clicking on **CONFIRM**. Then I confirmed the operation also on my **Hive Keychain**. As you can see from the image below all of my level 1 Barking Spider cards have been put up for sale at the lowest level 1 relative selling price on the Splinterlands marketplace. Easy right? I hope you liked this post and thank you for taking the time to read it :) Are you not a Splinterlands player? **Splinterlands is a beautiful game and it has proved to be a very good investment (at least until now) and if you regularly participate to the weekly contests organized by the @splinterlands account you will recover the registration cost (10$) in a short time.** If you decide to register, you can do it from this link: https://splinterlands.com?ref=libertycrypto27 of course if you'd like to use my refferal link... :) Any game that involves the purchase of cards and tokens is never a simple game but it is also an investment and should be considered as such. **I am not a financial consultant and if you decide to invest in the game of Splinterlands you do it for your own choice, after having made your personal evaluations and considered all possible risk factors.** My advice is to always invest only what you can afford to lose with a light heart.

22 months on Splinterlands: ROI and considerations + Advices for New Players ***Cover Image****: Logo image owned by Splinterlands - Edit by @libertycrypto27- Font used is Open Source* **Splinterlands** is my favorite blockchain-based game and today it's been more than 22 months since I decided to sign up after reading many posts about Splinterlands published on Hive. Since then I've been playing constantly and skipped only a few daily quests and after 22 months I'm still enjoying it as much as I did the first day. Splinterlands is not just a static game but it's a game in constant evolution and the future introduction of the Lands will bring new scenarios for gaming and investment. In the following image you can see the Splinterlands game roadmap on the website: https://www.splintercards.com/future.html. Splinterlands like all blockchain based games allows its players to receive rewards from game activity (cards, SPS tokens and DEC tokens) and allows them to sell and buy all the assets in the game. This is why **Splinterlands is not only a game but also an investment**. For the last 22 months I have always written a monthly report in which I consider Splinterlands exclusively from a financial point of view and not from a gaming point of view and so here I am writing my 22nd monthly report on Splinterlands. **Note**: In the numbers in this report the comma "**,**" and the dot "**.**" are both decimal separators. Below are the topics I will be covering in this my monthly report: Report Topics - **Final Result Previous Report** - **Evaluation of Splinterlands as Investment (after 21 months)** - Total Investment Cost - Total Revenues - Value of my card collection - Value of accumulated DEC tokens - Revenues from the sale of DEC tokens - Value of the Plots - Revenues from Farms DEC - BUSD LP (CubFinance) - Value of Splintershards tokens (SPS) - Value of card packs purchased but not opened. - **Profit/Loss calculation** - **ROI calculation** - **Report Results Considerations** - **Month by month history of my investment in Splinterlands** - **Suggestions for new players** - But do those who sign up today still have a chance to make a good profit? - The earning opportunities that Splinterlands offers Final Result Previous Report The starting point for each of my monthly reports on Splinterlands is the result I recorded in my previous monthly report: https://peakd.com/hive-146620/@libertycrypto27/is-splinterlands-a-good-investment-21-months-later--advices-for-new-players-splinterlands-e-un-buon-investimento-21-mesi-dopo The date I posted my previous report is August 11, 2021 and in the following two images you can see the Profit and ROI I have achieved in 22 months since the date of my Splinterlads game registration. The results I got up to August 11 were really good results that I honestly didn't expect: - **Total Profit**: **$13310.82** - **ROI**: **2539%**. Now it's time to check if in the last 36 days my financial results related to my investment on Splinterlands have improved or worsened and so I proceed to evaluate my investment on Splinterlands until today's date and at the same time I write this report. Evaluation of Splinterlands as Investment (after 22 months) The calculation and comparison between costs incurred and revenues obtained is the basis of the analysis of any investment. Total Investment Cost The total cost of my investment on Splinterlands is given by the following sum: **Registration Cost (Summoner Speelbook: $10) + Total Cost of Cards and Card Packs Purchased + Total Cost of DEC tokens purchased + Total Cost of Plots purchased** When calculating the sum above I only consider the costs incurred by injecting external liquidity into the game. Since the date of my last report (August 11, 2021) and until today September 16, 2021 I have not put external liquidity in my investment on Splinterlands and for this reason the total cost of my investment is unchanged from my previous report and is **524.14$**. Income The total revenue earned from my investment on Splinterlands is the sum of the following values: - the sum of the market value of the **Cards** that constitute my card collection - the gain obtained from the sale of the cards - the gain obtained from the rental of my cards - the value of the **DEC** (Dark Energy Crystal) tokens accumulated and not reinvested. - the gain from the sale of **DEC** tokens. - the market value of the plots that I have purchased. - The gain from the sale of the Plots. - The gain from using DEC tokens in a Farm. - The value of the Splintershards (SPS) tokens I have obtained from the current airdrop to date. - The value of card packs purchased but not opened. How much is my card collection worth? Manually calculating the value of my cards collection would be a very time-consuming operation, but luckily there is the **Peakmonsters** site that performs the calculation automatically within the **My Cards** section: https://peakmonsters.com/@libertycrypto27/cards The Peakmonsters site calculates the value of my card collection based on two different prices: **Market Prices** and **List Prices**. To calculate the value of my card collection I always consider the lesser of: - the **total value** using **Market Prices**. - the **total value** using **List Prices**. On March 26, 2021 my card collection had a value of **$819.63** (using Market Prices) On May 3, 2021 my card collection had a value of **1164.44 $** (using Market prices) On May 27, 2021, my card collection had a value of **1349.09 $** (using Market prices) On July 10, 2021 my card collection had a value of **2511.49 $** (using Market prices) On August 11, 2021 my card collection had a value of **11617.01 $** (using Market prices) Today September 16 my card collection has a value of **$23249.22** About 10 days ago the value of my card collection had exceeded $30,000 but then it has suffered a drop in value over the last few days. Despite this latest drop in value, in one month the value of my card collection has increased by **+11632.21$** with a **+100%** monthly increase. It's an amazing increase in value because it happened in a window of only 36 days. What is the value of the DEC tokens I have in my wallet? **DEC tokens** (**Dark Energy Crystal**) are the native **tokens** of the Splinterlands game, you get them as a reward for every battle you win in the game and you can also find them in chests. The **chests** are received every day as a reward for completing daily quests and every 15 days as a reward for in-game achievements at the end of the Splinterlands season. DEC tokens are **utility tokens** because they have many **use cases**: - they can be sold and bought on HiveEngine/LeoDex/TribalDex - can be used to buy cards, potions, Spellbook (starter set) - can be used in the DeFi platforms of CubFinance (https://cubdefi.com/), UniSwap and TribalDex pools. - can be used to pay for card rentals - they count towards the current airdrop score to receive Splinterlands governance tokens (the SPS tokens). In my in-game Splinterlands wallet I have a total of **97765** **DEC** tokens. As you can see from the calculations in the image below, today September 16, 2021, **97765** **DEC** tokens have the value of **517.43 $** (Highest Bid on LeoDex/HiveEngine/TribalDex) Revenues from the sale of DEC tokens on Hive Engine So far I have used my DEC tokens primarily to purchase packs of cards from the Splinterlands Shop and to purchase cards from the marketplace for the purpose of upgrading and improving my card collection. On one occasion I sold an amount of DEC tokens to do a Power Up on Hive to increase my amount of HP (Hive Power). On October 5, 2020, I sold 81000 DECs on Hive Engine and received **400.14 HIVE** in return for a value at the time of sale of **$64.8**. If I had sold the same amount of DEC tokens today I would have gotten a lot more.... How much are my Plots worth? On November 21, 2020 I purchased 3 Plots at a great price: **7500 DEC** per plot. So I spent a total of **22500 DEC** whose $ value at the time of purchase was **19.66 $**. Over the past couple of months all of the assets in the Splinterlands game have gained a lot of value and so have the **plots**. Initially the plots could be purchased directly from the Shop section of the Splinterlands website and had a cost of **$20** but they are finished since a long time. Now those who want to buy a plot can only purchase it from markets outside the Splinterlands game such as LeoDex/HiveEngine/TribalDex. Today September 15, 2021, the lowest sale offer of a Plot on Hive Engine is 589 HIVE equivalent to **$444.69**. This is another incredible result, those who bought so many plots really made a great investment. A plot that was worth only 6.5$, on November 21, 2020, is now worth 444.69$ and only 35 days ago was worth 194.54$. In my report calculations I will take into account the value of the Highest BID on https://hive-engine.com/?p=market&t=PLOT which is **559 HIVE**. The total value of the three Plots in my possession is 559 HIVE * 3 plots = **1677 HIVE** = **1266.135$** (previous report value: 535.29$) Farm DEC-USBD LP I follow many communities on Hive and one of the most active is the **Leofinance** community (https://leofinance.io/). Leofinance has created and developed a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform called CubFinance (https://cubdefi.com/). On CubFinance I use the **DEC-BUSD LP** farm in which I put 24000 DECs to work. When I added liquidity in the farm the DEC tokens were worth much less than now and for this reason if I wanted to withdraw them now from the farm I would take only 10372 DEC tokens instead of 24000 initial (impermanent loss) Until today the liquidity that I have put in the farm DEC-BUSD has made me earn 12,588 CUB tokens whose current value is **$ 6,481**. The value of Splintershards tokens (SPS) obtained from the current airdrop The airdrop of Splinterlands governance tokens is underway: the **Splintershards (SPS)** tokens. The airdrop of SPS tokens has a total duration of 365 days and today, September 16, 51 days have passed since the start of the airdrop. In 51 days I have accumulated a total of **5852 SPS tokens** whose value is **$1335.58** (image below). Value of card packs purchased but not opened A while ago I bought 100 packs of cards from the Untamed collection in bulk from the Shop section of the Splinterlands website, and as a bonus, I received 10 free packs of cards. Out of 110 packs of cards, I opened 85 packs of cards and still have 25 packs of Untamed cards to open. The value of an Untamed card pack on Hive Engine (Highest BID) is **45 HIVE = $33,975**. The total value of my 25 packs of Untamed cards is **849.37$** A bit of calculation... Now I have all the data I need (Total Costs and Total Revenues) and I can calculate the profit and ROI I got after 22 months of playing and investing on Splinterlands. Profit ( Revenues - Costs ) As you can see from the calculations in the following image the **Profit** that I have obtained after 22 months on Splinterlands is **26764.87 $** (previous report 13310.82 $) In 36 days the profit has doubled! Splinterland happily continues to surprise me :) ROI ( Return On Investment ) The ROI I had recorded in my previous report was 2539.55%. and now, after 36 days, it is **5106.44%** (calculations in the image below). Month by month history of my investment in Splinterlands Below you can see the history of my personal investment on Splinterlands from month six until today September 16, 2021.. The trend of **PROFIT** from the sixth month onwards was as follows: - **PROFIT** after 6 months: **27.99 $** - **PROFIT** after 7 months: **82.346 $** - **PROFIT** after 8 months: **24.214 $** - **PROFIT** after 9 months: **78.902 $** - **PROFIT** after 10 months: **44.014 $** - **PROFIT** after 11 months: **149.437 $** - **PROFIT** after 12 months: **307.279 $** - **PROFIT** after 13 months: **316.13 $** - **PROFIT** after 14 months: **311.16 $** - **PROFIT** after 15 months: **338.02 $** - **PROFIT** after 16 months: **392.60 $** - **PROFIT** after 17 months: **687.68 $** - **PROFIT** after 18 months: **1046.56 $** - **PROFIT** after 19 months: **1239.77 $** - **PROFIT** after 20 months: **2232.06 $** - PROFIT **after 21 months:** 13310.82 $** - PROFIT **after 22 months:** 26764.87 $** The **ROI** trend from month 6 onwards was as follows: - **ROI** after 6 months: **34,73 %** - **ROI** after 7 months: **77.02 %** - **ROI** after 8 months: **10.93 %** - **ROI** after 9 months: **34.33 %** - **ROI** after 10 months: **16.99 %** - **ROI** after 11 months: **57.68 %** - **ROI** after 12 months: **118.59 %** - **ROI** after 13 months: **113.41 %** - **ROI** after 14 months: **111.62 %** - **ROI** after 15 months: **121.26 %** - **ROI** after 16 months: **140.84 %** - **ROI** after 17 months: **246,69 %** - **ROI** after 18 months: **334.33 %** - **ROI** after 19 months: **368.60 %** - **ROI** after 20 months: **425.85 %** - **ROI** after 21 months: **2539.55 %** - **ROI** after 22 months: **5106.44 %** Considerations Splinterlands continues to surprise me and I hope it continues its growth trend in the future. The result I recorded in this report is once again the best result I've recorded to date and surpasses the previous result. I registered in Splinterlands when the packs of Alpha cards were already sold out and if I had registered earlier now the last lines of the graph of my profit would draw a straight line to the moon! Splinterlands is a concrete example of all that a blockchain-based game can offer to its players: - fun - exclusive digital ownership of the game assets (tokens and NFT) - many different possibilities of gain and investment I don't have the ability to predict the future but my opinion is that blockchain based games will be the future of the videogames industry even if it will take some time before they can have a similar diffusion to the currently most popular centralized games. In a post I wrote not long ago I expressed my thoughts on blockchain-based games and compared two games similar in gameplay but very different in structure: **Splinterlands and Hearthstone**. **Link Post:** https://peakd.com/hive-131619/@libertycrypto27/blockchain-games-the-future-of-gaming-il-futuro-dei-videogames-engita</sub> Advices for new players But do those who sign up today still have a chance to make a good profit? I share my Splinterlands related posts that I publish on Hive on other channels as well with the purpose of promoting both Splinterlands and Hive. I have often received questions similar to the following: *If I sign up today do I still have a chance to make a good profit or is it too late?* To answer this question I decided to do an experiment: on June 21, 2021 I dressed up as a new player and with my curation account @libertygame27 I spent 10$ to buy a new Spellbook. With libertygame27 I started from 0 to see how quickly I would recover the initial cost of registration on Splinterlands. In only 42 days and only thanks to in-game rewards (rewards from battles won, daily rewards and seasonal rewards) I recovered the cost of registration and made a profit of **+7.5$ (ROI 75.5%)**. You can read all the details of my experiment in this post: Link: https://peakd.com/hive-146620/@libertycrypto27/my-splinterlands-experiment-from-usd10 The earning opportunities that Splinterlands offers. In my experiment with the account libertygame27 it took me 42 days to get a profit of 7.5$ but I only played and **did not use all the earning opportunities that Splinterlands offers to its players.** In addition to the activities strictly related to the game such as daily quests there are many other earning possibilities that allow you to recover the cost of registration in a very short time: - weekly contests organized by Splinterlands on the Hive blockchain - trivia challenge on Hive and Telegram - giveaway organized by Splinterlands or independently by Splinterlands players - SPT tokens - ... A player who signs up for Splinterlands, pays the $10 signup fee and immediately starts participating in Splinterlands weekly contests is making the best possible choice. In the following image you can see the vote I received from Splinterlands on my last post that I published on Hive and with which I participated in the Splinterlands Social Media Challenge contest: In my post I also included the **spt** and **splinterlands** tags that allowed me to make my post visible also on: https://www.splintertalk.io/@libertycrypto27/ I also earned a quantity of SPT tokens (Hive's second layer tokens) with the same post. On both Hive and Splintertalk (Hive's community), the author of a post receives 50% of the value of the votes they receive. With one entry into a weekly Splinterlands contest, I earned: - **$4,903** ($9,806/2) thanks to the vote received from Splinterlands. - 606.65 SPT tokens = 9.22 HIVE = **$6.96** If I do the sum I get a total value of **$11,863** which not only covers the cost of registering to Splinterlands but is also $1,863 higher. Do you still have doubts? **If I wasn't a Splinterlands player I would become one immediately!** I hope you liked this report and thank you for your time :) Will ROI and Profit grow in the next month or decrease? Follow me to find out ;) Are you not a Splinterlands player? **Splinterlands is a beautiful game and it has proved to be a very good investment (at least until now) and if you regularly participate to the weekly contests organized by the @splinterlands account you will recover the registration cost (10$) in a short time.** If you decide to register, you can do it from this link: https://splinterlands.com?ref=libertycrypto27 of course if you'd like to use my refferal link... :) Any game that involves the purchase of cards and tokens is never a simple game but it is also an investment and should be considered as such. **I am not a financial consultant and if you decide to invest in the game of Splinterlands you do it for your own choice, after having made your personal evaluations and considered all possible risk factors.** My advice is to always invest only what you can afford to lose with a light heart.

HIVE: a Great Potential and a Great and Beautiful Community! ***Cover Image:*** *Logo Hive owned by* *https://hive.io/* *- edit by @libertycrypto27 - Font used is Open Source* There are so many projects with potential in the world of blockchains. If I publish my content here on **read.cash** is because I see potential in this project and especially I see potential and usefulness in the **BitcoinCash** project that I consider undervalued in consideration to its real value and for this reason I have never sold a **BCH**. There is another blockchain project that I consider very undervalued and that has a great potential: the **Hive blockchain**! It's been more than two years since I became a Hiver and since then I never lost the motivation to publish content, to interact with other Hive users and to follow the many projects developed on the Hive blockchain. When I signed up on Hive (March 5, 2019) I thought Hive was just an interesting decentralized blogging platform but then I found out that the blogging aspect was just a part of Hive because **Hive is a great ecosystem**. Hive is a great ecosystem There are many applications, tools and sites developed and built on the Hive blockchain. In the following image you can see a very small part of the projects developed on Hive. If you are a new user of Hive I invite you to visit the site https://hiveprojects.io/ **Hive projects** is a directory where **135 projects** built on the Hive blockchain are listed. Hive Projects is a project originally created by **noisy** but is currently maintained and developed by **engrave**. In the Home Page of Hiveprojects you can view the projects divided into categories. Always from the home page of the site you can view the recently created projects (Latest project). It is possible to search for a specific project using the search filter on the top left. A project creator can request to add his project to the directory by clicking on **Add Project** (top right of the home page). At the heart of Hive's large ecosystem is a large community of users, developers,... Hive is a big and beautiful community **What makes Hive unique is its big and beautiful community.** The first positive aspect that impressed me from my first days on Hive was the **great spirit of collaboration and the great willingness to help and support present on Hive**. The difference with traditional and centralized social platforms, where hatred and quarrels are rampant, is clearly evident! Obviously there are exceptions, very few, but so far I have almost always received help and answers to my every doubt or curiosity. A great demonstration of the strength and solidarity of the community of Hive I had yesterday when I published the following post: Link: https://peakd.com/hive-146620/@libertycrypto27/the-hard-hit-suffered-by-mad-ranner-dollar50k-stolen-by-hivewallet94-keep-your-passwords-safe-the-hard-hit-submitted-by-mad-ran In the post I linked above I told about the bad experience suffered by my friend @mad-runner and two of his friends @sissim and @angeloacrobat. A despicable person (@hivewallet94) hacked mad-runner's email where there were emails containing Hive passwords for all three accounts I listed above and stole everything he could steal. The hardest hit was suffered by @mad-runner who **lost his entire collection of Splinterlands cards, a collection worth over $55,000.** When you suffer a breach and lose valuable assets the discomfort is great. The affection and sincere support of people can heal or at least alleviate the pain of the "wounds" suffered and **the community of Hive has proven once again to be a great and beautiful community.** The purpose of my post yesterday was to show @mad-runner how many people were there for him and I chose to direct all the rewards from my post to him. I knew that the large Hive community would empathize with @mad-runner's situation and give a strong signal of support and solidarity but I didn't expect so much and was happily surprised and impressed by the responses I received. The post was Hive's highest payout post of the day yesterday. In 24 hours it reached a payout of **374$**. Only in another occasion a post of mine has exceeded the $200 payout but I can assure you that yesterday's post that will not bring me any increase in HIVE Power and HBD is the post that gave me more satisfaction because it showed once again **the strength of the great community of Hive!** The post received so many comments and so much willingness to support and help towards the situation of an unfortunate hiver. **coccodema** who has only 557 HP in his wallet has decided to use his Ecency points to Boost the post instead of using his points to increase the reward for one of his posts. **bencwarmer** used his Ecency points to promote the post within https://ecency.com/ to increase the exposure of the post. @claudio83 and **sayee** edited the post with votes from @tipu and @indiaunited **fedesox** on discord and **donthaveone** via comment helped me to verify a possible violation suffered by @mad-runner that I did not know and had not considered: **Outgoing Withdraw Routes** In fact there was the risk that hivewallet94 had modified this setting which would have brought, without @mad-runner's knowledge, all future power downs of mad-runner in hivewallet94's account. I checked https://hivetasks.com/@mad-runner and as you can see from the following image everything was in order. However, the hivetasks site didn't seem completely updated and working (for example some values related to the votes given and received are not correctly displayed) and so I asked @fedesox to verify further. Fedesox has verified and also on HiveDB there was the value Withdraw=0. Many other users commented on the post giving advice and expressed their solidarity. Many great stakeholders of Hive, that I don't tag but thank, have given their contribution by voting the post. When a person suffers a hard blow and falls they are able to get up faster and easier when they raise their head and find a hand ready to help them get back up. In the case of mad-runner the hands ready to help him have been many and to see him publish with the same rhythm of before is already a positive effect of the esteem and support he received! A bastard and inhuman like hivewallet can receive a lot of money in his accounts, stolen money, but he will never receive the strength and the value of many hands ready to help him in his time of need because he is not a Hiver but just a little man who tries to steal money from those who are not so familiar with technology and do not adopt all the good rules of computer security. Thanks a lot to all the Hivers who voted, commented and reblogged the post I dedicated to mad-runner. Hive is a great ecosystem and it's also a great community but it's also so much more than that.... Hive is the perfect cradle for the development of Web 3.0 projects Hive was born from the strength of a large community that wanted to rebel against the attempt of a millionaire to centralize a decentralized platform: Steem. Some time ago I had fun imagining that battle (**centralization VS decentralization**) as a battle of the Splinterlands game. Image from my previous post: https://peakd.com/hive-148441/@libertycrypto27/the-alien-attack-the-gray-men-have-arrived-eng Among other things, the great success of the Splinterlands game shows that Hive is the perfect cradle to develop and grow a web 3.0 project. **Splinterlands is a winning project because it's a good game but also because it has been able to fully use all the potential of Hive:** - **transaction costs on the blockchain in terms of Resource Credits and not in terms of HIVE**. - **second level token of Hive** - **staking and blogging activity** Resource Credits and Transaction Costs If Splinterlands had been developed on Ethereum for example every time a player wanted to transfer his game assets he would have had to pay very high transaction costs. **The home of Splinterlands is instead Hive**, all transactions take place on the Hive blockchain and thanks to Hive the player who wants to transfer for example a card or a certain amount of DEC tokens to another player can do so without paying any transaction costs in terms of HIVE. **On Hive the fees for transferring HIVE from one account to another are equal to 0.** Only **Resource Credits** are required to make transactions on the Hive blockchain. The maximum amount of Resource Credits that an account has is directly proportional to the amount of **HIVE Power** (**HIVE Staked**) that the account has in its wallet and recharges over time and therefore without the need to purchase additional HIVEs. The more Hive Power (Hive Staked) an account has, the more transactions it can make within the blockchain. The more Hive Power has an account, the more value (HP) it can get from curation activity (voting on Hive authors' posts). **Possession of HP and interaction (upvotes) are highly incentivized on Hive which is a DPOS blockchain.** A Splinterlands player needs very little HP to play Splinterlands. A project like Splinterlands needs many more HP (+ Resource Credits) to perform all transactions on the blockchain. The second layer tokens of Hive The Splinterlands player each time they win a battle within the game is rewarded with a certain amount of **token DEC** (the native tokens of the Splinterlands game). DEC tokens are transferable at 0 cost from the in-game Splinterlands wallet to the wallet on https://hive-engine.com/ and become second level Hive tokens. All Hive second level tokens can be bought, sold and traded with other second level tokens or they can be converted to HIVE. For example, the **DEC -> SWAP.HIVE** conversion operation has no cost within the Hive Engine marketplace. The only cost to be incurred is in the withdrawal operation: **1% (SWAP.HIVE -> HIVE)**. For example, if you withdraw 100 SWAP.HIVE you will receive 99 HIVE in your Hive wallet. There are alternatives to Hive Engine such as https://leodex.io/ and https://tribaldex.com/. If you use the site https://leodex.io/ for the withdrawal operation, the withdrawal commission is reduced to **0.25%** (this operation can only be done if there is enough liquidity). Whatever project is developed on Hive such as a community or a game based on blockchain, the developer of the project has the possibility to create its own token, a token of second level of Hive whose creation has relatively low costs and that allows a creator of a project to reward its users. Staking and Blogging Activities Whoever invests on Hive and buys HIVE tokens and stacks them to become **HP (HIVE Power)** tokens gets **Resource Credits** but also gets **many other advantages**. For example, Splinterlands on Hive's blockchain not only makes transactions to allow its game to work and its players to have fun but also publishes content and uses its **Voting Power** (+ HP = + Voting Power) to vote and reward posts by Hive authors that are inherent to the game of Splinterlans. All Splinterlands game-related announcements and updates are posted on Hive by the @splinterlands account. Every week Splinterlands organizes **contests** to reward its players who in addition to playing games: - publish content on the Hive blockchain - share their posts on at least one blogging platform other than Hive. Those who participate in these contests receive a vote whose weight depends on the effort put into writing the post. For example from my last participation in the Splinterlands Social Media Challenge Contest I received a vote on my post from the **steemmonsters** account worth **$15,135 ($HTU)**. On Hive, the split of the reward between the author of a post and the curators (whoever votes on the post) is 50%/50%. After seven days from the publication of my post thanks to the vote of Splinterlands I received an amount of **HP** equivalent to the value of **7,5675$** which is exactly 50% of the value of the vote I received from the account @steemmonsters who received at the same time my same reward. Splinterlands uses Hive to post announcements, updates, and contests while also getting a financial return from its curation of Splinterlands-related posts. Splinterlands' contests also serve a marketing purpose for Splinterlands because sharing Splinterlands' posts outside of Hive performs the important function of advertising and promotion. Publishing a post on a platform other than Hive with a direct link to Hive is also a benefit to the Hive blockchain which has the opportunity to increase its number of users. Splinterlands players by publishing posts on Hive get a reward in HIVE tokens and also in second layer Hive tokens (SPT, LEO, POB, ...). **This is a win-win model that offers benefits to everyone!** Conclusion **Hive is blockchain project that has many utilities.** **Hive is a large ecosystem of apps, tools and sites** **Hive is a decentralized, free and censorship-resistant blogging platform** **Hive is the perfect cradle for the development of web 3.0 projects** **Hive is above all a great community** Today September 13, 2021, one HIVE has the value of **$0.746**. One year ago (September 11, 2020), a HIVE had the value of **$0.19**. Despite the good increase in value over the one-year time window, I consider the value of HIVE to be highly undervalued, and I say this for all the reasons I outlined above. The success of Splinterlands has led to an increase in registrations on HIVE. Splinterlands is right now Hive's most popular project and it is also my favorite blockchain-based game but it is also just one of many projects developed on Hive. So many other projects have potential and so many more will come in the future. **Every project built on Hive benefits from Hive and the strength of its large community and vice versa Hive benefits from the success of every project built on it.** Splinterlands and the other current and future projects built on Hive will bring Hive to the place it deserves, it's just my personal opinion but I'm very convinced of it! Are you a developer? If you are a developer of web 3.0 projects I suggest you to consider Hive: https://developers.hive.io/. Are you not a Hive user? If you are not a Hive user and you don't know the world of blockchains you have two possibilities: You can continue to be a simple number, a simple source of data and wealth for centralized projects such as Facebook & Co. that use, by contract digitally signed by you, your data, your content and that in return can ban and censor you for any reason even invalid. You can stop being a simple user, a simple number and **you can start your adventure on Hive** and become part of an important project in which **you will have full ownership of your data, your content and complete freedom of expression** but above all **you will become part of the great and beautiful community of Hive**. If you don't have a Hive account you can easily create one in a few steps. I have written a **short tutorial** where I show you how to do it: **HIVE: Registration and First Login with PeakD:** https://peakd.com/hive-177682/@libertycrypto27/hive-registration-and-first-login-with-peakd-tutorial The images in this post are screenshots taken from the sites: https://hive.blog/ https://hiveprojects.io/ https://peakd.com/ https://ecency.com/ https://hive-engine.com/ https://leodex.io/ https://tribaldex.com/ [https://splinterlands.com/](https://splinterlands.com?ref=libertycrypto27) The images that contain calculations and formulas are my property The font I used in my images or in the images I edited is Open Source

Splintertalk.io: New Layout, New Features and New Use Cases for SPT Tokens! ***Cover Image:*** *Logo Splinterlands and logo Splintertalk are images owned by Splinterlands - Edit by @libertycrypto27- Font used is Open Source* I strongly believe that blockchain based games will be the future of the video game industry and that is why I have invested and tried several blockchain based games. Most of the games I have decided to invest and play are games developed on my favorite blockchain which is **Hive** but I have also tried games implemented and developed on WAX and EOS blockchains. Out of all the games I've tried so far **Splinterlands** is the game that offers the most reward options to its players and some are very different from each other. The rewards linked directly to the game are the most well-known and are mainly: - the **token DECs** - chests** (each chest can contain DEC tokens, potions or playing cards (NFT)) - Splintershards (SPS)** tokens - Tournament prizes** (NFTs, SPS tokens, DEC tokens, and various types of tokens and prizes) One of the earning possibilities that not all Splinterlands players are aware of, and I'm particularly referring to new players, are the rewards that Splinterlands makes available to players who, in addition to playing the game, publish Splinterlands-related content on the Hive blockchain and promote the Splinterlands game outside of Hive. Those who publish Splinterlands related content on Hive can earn in addition to HP (Hive Power) and HBD tokens also **SPT tokens** which are Splintertalk community tokens (https://www.splintertalk.io/) and are second layer tokens of Hive. SPT tokens are tokens created by the @splinterlands account and are tokens linked to posts on Hive that have: - as a topic Splinterlands - as tags: **splinterlands** and/or **spt**. If you've never heard of SPT tokens and want to learn more about how they work, you can read two posts I wrote previously that I hope will be useful to you: - in the post at the following link I explained **what SPT tokens are and their basic operation**: https://peakd.com/hive-146620/@libertycrypto27/i-token-spt-splintertalk-and - in the post at the following link I have explained **all the operations executable with SPT tokens** (sale, purchase, staking, transfer): https://peakd.com/hive-146620/@libertycrypto27/i-token-spt-are-on-hive The main topic of this post is the recent update to the Splintertalk community site that has improved the layout and added interesting new features. Splintertalk.io: New Layout, New Features and New Use Cases for SPT Tokens! About 5 days ago the Splinterlands team made some interesting changes to the Splintertalk website and the first one is about the layout. Old Layout Before the last update the layout of my blog on Splintertalk was very simple (following image) with few features. At the top and in the middle there were 4 options to display Splinterlands related posts (trending, hot, new, promoted). In the top right corner there was: - the pencil symbol to access the text editor - the logo of my account (in the image below there is the logo of my curation account: @libertygame27) - other options (wallet,...) New Layout The new layout is much more beautiful and functional. The main options have been moved from the center to the top left, next to the Splintertalk logo and new features have been added. In the following images you can see all the changes made to the layout of the site. All the features of the new splintertalk.io website Now I want to show all the features present on the splintertalks site Home Page If you click on the Splintertalk logo you will be directed to the main page: https://www.splintertalk.io/ The main page is divided into **three zones**: - in the central zone are displayed the trending posts (Trending Post) - in the lower left area are displayed the most popular posts (Popular) - in the lower right area are displayed the recently published posts (Latest) Light Mode and Night Mode This is a new feature introduced on Splintertalk. If you click on the symbol indicated by the arrow in the image above, you can choose between two types of display: - **Light Mode** - **Night Mode** The choice between the two views is absolutely subjective and personal. I prefer the Night Mode view because it puts less strain on my eyes. Feed If you click on **Feed** as indicated by the arrow in the following image you will be directed to the page where only the posts published by the authors you decided to follow are displayed (ordered from the most recent to the oldest). Explore If you click **Explore** you will be directed to https://www.splintertalk.io/trending and can choose to view posts based on four filters: - Trending - Hot - Recent - Promoted NFT Marketplace This is the big news introduced by the Splinterlands team. **From the Splintertalk site it is possible to purchase NFTs related to the Splinterlands game and the purchase is only possible using SPT tokens.** **Note:** The cards (NFT) present in the NFT section are not like the cards purchasable from the Splinterlands market because **they cannot be used in the battles** of the Splinterlands game. For the moment the NFTs that can be purchased from the Splintertalk site have only one use related to collecting and can only be bought and sold. Secondary and future uses will depend on the will of the Splinterlands developers but for the moment no announcement has been made in this regard. The **NFT Marketplace** section of Splintertalk has **7 subsections**: 1. Home 2. Market 3. Activities 4. Mint 5. Collection 6. Gallery 7. Profile From the subsection **Home** you can view the NFTs created and offered for sale divided into: - **Featured NFTs** - **Newly Minted** - **Recently Sold** From the **Market** subsection you can search for NFTs to purchase using search filters. From the **Activities** subsection you can view the purchases made by all users (in chronological order). From the sub-section **Mint** you can sell your creations (NFT) related to Splinterlands. **Note:** Not all users are allowed to create and sell NFT on Splintertalk because you must first be included in the whitelist of authorized authors. If you are interested and want to become a verified author you have to apply. To submit your application you can click on: - **Update Profile** inside the **Mint** section - or you can click on the subsection **Profile**. You will have to fill in the following form with all the requested data and you will have to wait for the outcome of your application. From the **Collection** subsection you can view all the NFTs you have purchased and that are therefore part of your collection. From the **Gallery** subsection you can view all the NFTs you have put up for sale. Proposal The **Proposals** section allows you to: - vote a proposal - create a proposal The mechanism is similar to the proposals (DHF) of Hive with the main difference that the payment of the most voted proposals is in SPT token instead of HBD. At the moment there are no proposals but the possibility to create a proposal is another useful tool to encourage interesting ideas and good projects. To create a proposal you need to fill out the form that you can see in the following image. Creating a proposal has a cost of **10000 SPT = 165.1 HIVE** (Highest Bid on Hive Engine) Pool The **Pool** section is another interesting new feature introduced within the Splintertalks site that projects Splintertalk and SPT tokens into decentralized finance. In the **SWAP** subsection you can quickly convert SPT tokens to SPS tokens and vice versa. In the **Pools** subsection you can **search and view active pools**. As you can see from the following image the only active pool at the moment is the **SPS:SPT** pool. In the **Create** subsection you can create a new pool (cost: **1000 BEE**). In the **Add Liquidity** subsection you can add liquidity to the available pools and start earning passively. In the **Remove Liquidity** subsection you can choose to remove liquidity previously placed in a pool. Write and publish a post from Splintertalk A post to be visible within the Splintertalk community must have one of the following tags: **splinterlands** and/or **spt**. Therefore, it is not mandatory to write and publish a post directly from the splintertalk.io site. Even if it is not mandatory Splintertalk has its own editor that you can access by clicking on the pen symbol on the top right (following image). In the following image you can see the editor of Splintertalk website (https://www.splintertalk.io/publish) I prefer to write my posts using the editor of https://peakd.com/ or the editor of https://ecency.com/ because they provide more features such as the functionality "undo" but write directly from the editor of Splintertalk is still a possibility and a valid alternative. Voting Power and Downvoting Power Placing the mouse cursor on the two blue and red lines (below your username) you can see your **Voting Power** and your **Downvoting Power**. Profile, Comments, Replies, Wallet, Settings and Logout If you click on your account name (top right corner) a drop down menu will open from which you can choose one of the following menu items: - **Profile**: allows you to view the main screen of your blog on splintertalk - **Comments**: allows you to view all the comments written - **Replies**: allows you to view all the comments received on a post or the replies received in response to a comment. - **Wallet**: it allows you to visualize the content of your wallet related to the following tokens: SPT, SPT Power, HIVE, HIVE Power, HBD. - **Settings**: allows you to modify some settings such as the profile image and other information. - **Logout**: allows you to log out of the Splintertalk site. Trade SPT If you click on the symbol indicated by the arrow in the following image you can directly access the address: https://tribaldex.com/trade/SPT From https://tribaldex.com/trade/SPT you can see the graphs related to the value of SPT tokens and you can sell and buy SPT tokens. New Use Cases for SPT Tokens! When I created my curation account @libertygame27 (January 7, 2020) with the dual goal of maximizing SPT token accumulation and supporting authors who wrote Splinterlands-related posts, **1 SPT token** was worth very little **$0.00069** and I had **15720 SPT tokens ($10.98)** in my wallet. At that time, SPT tokens had **only two use cases**: - **Staking** (+ SPT Power = + SPT tokens earnable from curation activity). - **Conversion** to HIVE or conversion to other second tier Hive tokens. Today August 7, 2021 **1 SPT token** is worth **0.020 HIVE = $0.01574** (Highest Bid on Hive Engine). In 18 months the SPT token has increased its value by **2181.16%**. This increase in value is due to the growing success of the Splinterlands game but is mainly due to the addition of new use cases. **Today an SPT token has many use cases**: - it can be **staked** to increase SPT Power - it can be **converted** into Hive or other tokens - Can be **used** to **add liquidity to the SPT:SPS pool**. - can be **received** SPS tokens **every day (**Airdrop in progress** - 1 SPT token = 0.25 points) - can be used to **buy NFT** from splintertalk.io website - can be used to **vote and create a proposal** (funding request for an SPT token project) - can be used to **promote a post** within the Splintertalk community **In general, the more use cases a token has, the more its value increases, and that's exactly what happened with the SPT token.** Posting on Hive about Splinterlands has never been as beneficial as it is now, and if you've never written a post about Splinterlands it's time to start! (my advice ;) Splinterlands = Play 2 Earn! I hope you liked this post and thank you for reading and taking the time to read it :) You're not a Splinterlands player? **Splinterlands is a beautiful game and it has proved to be a very good investment (at least until now) and if you participate regularly to the weekly contests organized by the @splinterlands account you will recover the registration cost (10$) in few weeks.** If you decide to register, you can do it from this link: https://splinterlands.com?ref=libertycrypto27 Of course if you'd like to use my refferal link.... :) **Any game that allows the purchase of cards and tokens is never a simple game but is also an investment and should be considered as such.** **I am not a financial advisor and if you decide to invest in the game of Splinterlands you do it for your own choice and at your own risk.** See you on the battlefields of Splinterlands.

I present to you Cuki...and my family grows! **All photos in this post are my property (@libertycrypto27)** I present to you Cuki...and my family grows! My wife and I have been considering getting a pet for about a month now. I have only one daughter named Chiara who is almost 8 years old and since she arrived she has brought so much positivity into my life with her cheerfulness and smiles. She loves animals and in particular cats and dogs and has always insisted that my wife and I get a cat or a dog. My wife, until a few months ago, was always very determined to say no to my daughter because both she and I have very busy work schedules and because we live in an apartment and having a cat and especially a dog would not have been easy and especially because, as it should be, animal friends deserve attention and commitment. After an exhausting work of persuasion my daughter and I managed to change my wife's mind. Kitten or Doggie? Once my wife's ban was lifted, the family vote began. My daughter Chiara wanted a small dog and surprisingly my wife was also convinced to get a small dog instead of a kitten. By the way, a friend's dog had a litter of 5 Maltese and wanted to give us one. I love all animals but I've always had a slight preference for dogs but due to my current work schedule and limited time I was more inclined to get a kitten. Every day during lunch the topic was always the same: Kitten or Doggie? In the end fate chose! There was no need to come to an agreement in the family because the choice was not made by any of us but it was fate that decided for us. Yesterday morning my wife, my daughter and my sister were in front of my garage and while they were talking they heard a meow coming from the hood of my sister's car. When my sister opened the hood she found a small kitten on the engine of her car. The night before, my sister had been to the gym and upon leaving the gym she noticed kittens near her car. It was windy that night and the temperatures weren't very high so the kitten most likely climbed into the engine area of the car to get out of the cold but couldn't get down before my sister started. When my sister opened the hood the next morning she immediately grabbed the kitten who was very scared. At that time I was home and my daughter called me from my wife's smartphone and said: *Daddy come out right now on the landing!.* I asked her: *But why Chiara?* Chiara answered me: *Get out now there is a surprise!* I went out on the landing of my apartment and I didn't find anyone and I immediately thought it was a joke of my daughter. After a few seconds the elevator door opened and in my wife's arms was a small kitten (next picture). We immediately got some milk, warmed it up and with a bottle tried to feed the kitten. The kitten immediately started drinking the milk. Then I found out that it's preferable not to give milk to kittens but never having had one I didn't know that.... The kitten was definitely a stray because it was dirty and had a lot of fleas and for this reason I immediately called the nearest vet to my home. The vet was very nice because even though he was full of appointments he found a place for the little kitten by 4:30 in the afternoon. The first visit to the vet At 4:25pm my wife, sister, daughter and I arrived at the vet. In the following picture is my daughter Chiara sitting in the vet's waiting room. We've never had a cat so we didn't have a carrier and used a fish bowl to get the kitty to the vet and at the same time keep the many lice from jumping on us or other animals. After a 40 minute wait the vet receives us and examines the kitten. He immediately sees lice and also finds mites in the kitten's ears. He takes a tube of a medicine and applies it to the area between the kitten's head and back. She tells us that the kitten is a male and after taking a small health booklet she asks us the name of the cat. Obviously my daughter decides on the name and decides to call him **Cuki**. I paid and thanked the vet and scheduled the next appointment for a check-up (after 30 days). Before going home, we first went to my sister-in-law, @zottone444's mother, who gave us a litter box that she had bought but never used, along with some special wipes for cats and sleepers, and then we went to a specialized pet store where we bought sand for the litter box, specific kibble for kittens and 6 small colored fake mice for the kitten to play with. Back home Back home, we immediately put water and kibble in the appropriate containers (also received as a gift from my sister-in-law) and the kitten eats its entire portion of kibble. The scared and weak kitten of the morning already looks like another cat, more lively and with more energy :) But the lice don't give him a break and he's constantly scratching himself. I tried to take a picture of one of the many lice on the kitten's fur and in the following picture you can see one that I photographed on the cover the kitten was on. I read the name of the medicine used by the vet on Cuki's health booklet: it's called Stronghold and after doing a search on the Internet I found the indication of the time needed to produce the desired effects: 1 day for cats and 3 days for dogs. To avoid the spread of lice in the house we built a small cardboard house for the kitten with separate rooms: kitchen, bedroom and bathroom :) Around 9:30 p.m. little Cuki, after consuming another meal went to sleep. By Sunday morning the kitten was feeling much better and no longer scratching or seeing the lice walking, the medication had already begun to produce its beneficial effects. The first concern The kitten seemed to be much better than the day before but now there was another problem to solve: he hadn't peed yet and it had been almost 24 hours. On a specialized website I read that if a cat fails to pee for more than 36 hours it can be a real and big problem and for this reason we all got a little worried. Around 12:00 I picked up the phone to call the vet but just as I was about to dial the number my happy daughter called me and said: *Daddy! Cuki peed* We all breathed a sigh of relief :) A big sleeper In the afternoon we used a lice comb and noticed that all the lice were dead. Well, just one more day in the cardboard house and then little Cuki can finally roam free around the house and explore his new home. Today Cuki ate, played but most of all slept a lot, he weighs only 440 grams, he is still very small and needs a lot of sleep. In the next photo he is sleeping in my daughter's arms who held him all afternoon without ever using her smartphone and this is the first beneficial effect that brought Cuki into my daughter's habits to my great delight. Cuki is truly an adorable kitten and is a great cuddler. We didn't choose this kitten but events and fate brought him to us. He is a new addition to my family and I am glad he came to us. My daughter is an only child and a kitten will be a company that will do her good and above all will be an opportunity to make her more responsible because a kitten is not a toy and deserves, like all living beings, the utmost respect and must be cared for in the best possible way. Welcome Cuki! **When a family grows and increases its members is always a reason for celebration and great joy!** **All photos in this post are my property (@libertycrypto27)** Hive Blockchain: **https://peakd.com/@libertycrypto27/posts** Twitter: **https://twitter.com/libertycrypto27** Publish0x: **https://www.publish0x.com/libertycrypto27?a=MYervALeOB** NoiseCash: **https://noise.cash/u/libertycrypto27** Blurt: **https://blurtter.com/@libertycrypto27**

HBD -> HIVE -> HP: Step by Step guide - Power UP! On the **Hive** blockchain, the first day of every month is not just any day but it is **Power Up Day**. I signed up on Hive on March 19, 2019 and since that day I have never done a Power Down but I have always done Power UP. Hive is not just a decentralized blogging platform but it is much much more and the success that Splinterlands is having shows how Hive is the perfect cradle for the development and growth of Web 3.0 projects. Power Up Day is an initiative initially created by @streetstyle and carried on by @traciyork. The code name of the Hive Power Up Day initiative is **HIVEPUD**. All Hivers can participate in the Hive Power Up Day initiative but only those who have certain requirements can win prizes. You can read all the details and requirements to win prizes by reading the post at the link below: Link post: https://peakd.com/hive-167922/@traciyork/welcome-to-hivepud-hive-power-up-day-september-1st-2021 The rules in summary of the HPUD initiative are as follows: - you must write and publish a post by the first day of the month showing your Power UP and you must use the tag #HivePUD - You must have a Hive Power higher than 100 HP and lower than 8000 HP - you must have a reputation higher than 39 and lower than 70 - you must make a Power Up of minimum 10 HP during the first day of every month. Will be rewarded the Hive users who make the biggest Power UP **in percentage and not in absolute value**. For example someone who has 100 HP and does a Power UP of 20 HP (+20%) will receive a bigger reward than someone who has 6000 HP and does a Power UP of 600 HP (+10%). I have a reputation above 73 and I have an amount of HP above 17000 so I can not compete for prizes but I still like this initiative because it favors small and new users of Hive as it should be. Today I did the Power Up of all the liquid HIVE tokens I had in my wallet: **28,160 HP** To make a bigger power up I sold some HBDs I had in my wallet in exchange for HIVE and then ran the power up according to the following path: **HBD -> HIVE -> HP**. **HBD -> HIVE -> HP (Power Up)** Step by Step Guide To sell the HBD tokens, I used the **Market of Hive** (https://wallet.hive.blog/market). The operation of selling HBD tokens from https://wallet.hive.blog/market is an easy operation to perform and I want to show all the steps so as to help new users who have never done this operation. How to Sell HBD tokens in exchange for HIVE (HBD -> HIVE) **Step 1**: you need to **login** at https://wallet.hive.blog/market. I use **Hive Keychain** (https://hive-keychain.com/) which is my preferred method of accessing Hive. **Step 2**: In the "**BUY HIVE**" section, within the third line (**Total**), you must enter the amount of HBD you wish to sell in exchange for HIVE as indicated by arrow number 1 in the following image and then you must click on the button that says "**BUY HIVE**" as indicated by arrow number 2 in the following image. **Note**: you can also enter a value less than **0.487282** (lower selling price) in the first line (**Price**) to get a higher number of HIVEs but in that case you will have to wait for your purchase order to be matched. In this post I wanted to show the easiest and most straightforward process but I always try to get a better exchange ;) I decided to sell **11 HBD** in exchange for HIVE tokens and as you can see from the information in the image below, my order was accepted and I received **22.575 HIVE**. The **22.575 HIVE** was in addition to the amount of liquid HIVE tokens I had in my wallet for a final total of **50.735 HIVE**. The last operation to do is the most beautiful and the easiest: the **Power Up**! How to do Power Up To do Power Up I use the wallet section of **PeakD** (https://peakd.com/) but every wallet available on Hive has a Power Up feature. Here are the steps I performed to convert **50.73 HIVE** to **50.73 Hive Power** (HP). **Step 1**: I logged into https://peakd.com/. **Step 2**: I clicked in the upper right hand corner on the down arrow next to my Hive username and in the drop down menu clicked **Wallet**. **Step 3**: Within the wallet section of Peakd I clicked on the downward-pointing little arrow below the indication of the amount of liquid HIVE tokens (HIVE) in my possession and then clicked on the **Power Up** option (as indicated by the arrows in the following image). **Step 4**: On the next screen I entered the **amount of HIVE** to convert to **Hive Power** (in my case 50,735 HIVE) and then clicked **CONTINUE**. The Power Up operation is really very simple and my Power Up was executed immediately. Why Power Up? Having **HIVE liquids** in your wallet has only one advantage: the ability to transfer HIVE tokens at any time, immediately and at 0 cost. **Converting HIVE tokens to Hive Power (HP) allows you to gain many advantages**: + Hive Power = + Vote Weight Having more Hive Power (HP) allows you to have a higher Vote Weight. When you vote for a post or comment by another Hive user you receive 50% of the value of your vote (after the seventh day of publishing the post or comment you voted for). Note: New users often mistakenly think that voting for another author's content is equivalent to decreasing the value of their wallet. **When you vote for a post or comment on Hive, you don't lose anything but on the contrary you gain an amount of HP and HBD.** The **curation** activity (voting activity on Hive) allows me to receive on average about **15% return per year (APR)**. Those who don't vote and therefore don't utilize their voting power by holding it at 100% get a much lower APR: **3.19%** + Hive Power = + Decision Making Power (Proposals and Voting Witnesses) The more HP a Hive user has, the more weight their vote carries in deciding which witnesses and proposals to fund (DHF proposal). + Hive Power = + Resource Credits Having more Resource Credits is equivalent to having more leeway on the Hive blockchain: - perform more actions and interactions - perform more transactions Hivebuzz and Power Up Day The @hivebuzz account supports Power Up Day and those who make a Power Up on the first day of each month receive a **badge** at https://hivebuzz.me/ . The badge on the hivebuzz site has no economic value but has a symbolic value. As you can see from the following image with the power up I made today I will receive my ninth "**Power Up Day**" badge (the seventh consecutive). Starting today, September 1, 2021, it will be possible to obtain another prestigious badge: "**Power Up Month**". This new badge will be the reward for those who: - publish one post per day for the entire month of September and set their post payment to 100% HIVE POWER - does not self-vote - is not in a state of Power Down - who, even if they don't publish content, makes a power up per day of at least 1 HIVE. You can read all the requirements and all the details about the "Power Up Month" badge at the following link: https://peakd.com/hivebuzz/@hivebuzz/pum If you haven't yet made a Power Up today and you want to receive this badge too, there's still time and you have just over two hours to do it! If you are a new user of Hive and you have never made a Power Up until now I hope that this post of mine with the indication of the steps to follow can be useful to you. **For me doing a Power Up on Hive is absolutely the best way to start the month!** If you don't have a Hive account you can easily create one in just a few steps. I wrote a short tutorial where I show how to do it: HIVE: Registration and First Login with PeakD] The images in this post are screenshots taken from the sites: https://peakd.com/ https://hivebuzz.me/ https://hiveblocks.com/ https://wallet.hive.blog/market The font I used in my images or in the images edited by me is Open Source

Splinterlands: I Token SPT, Splintertalk and My Road to 1 Million SPT ***Cover Image****: Font used is Open Source - edit by @libertycrypto27* I play several blockchain-based games but out of all of them **Splinterlands is the game that offers the most earning possibilities to its players.** There are rewards that are strictly related to the game and there are rewards that are instead related to the activity of publishing content related to the Splinterlands game. **The in-game rewards** The player who plays on the Splinterlands website can earn: - **token DEC** for each battle victory or prize placement in a tournament. - **token SPS** from the airdrop in progress - **chests** that can contain **token DEC, cards** (NFT) and **potions**. Chests are obtained from completing daily missions and as an end-of-season reward (every 15 days) **Rewards for blogging on Hive** In addition to in-game rewards Splinterlands rewards players who post Splinterlands game-related content on the Hive blockchain. In fact, those who publish a post about Splinterlands on Hive can get the following two rewards: - **maximum 2 upvotes** per week from the @steemmonsters account. Each week the @splinterlands account runs weekly contests that require: - the writing and publication of a post on Hive related to Splinterlands - Subsequent sharing of the post on Hive on any social network other than Hive. - **a quantity of SPT tokens**. If you don't know what SPT tokens are, I'll explain in brief what they are. SPT tokens SPT tokens are second layer tokens of the Hive blockchain and are the **Splintertalk** community tokens. They are tokens created by the @splinterlands account (on Hive Blockchain) and are tokens related to the activity of publishing posts on Hive that: - have as a topic Splinterlands - have as tags: **splinterlands** and/or **spt**. Whenever you publish a post whose topic is the Splinterlands game and you use the tags **spt** and/or **splinterlands** your post will be visible on Hive but it will also be visible within the Splintertalk community at the following address: https://www.splintertalk.io/ The interface of https://www.splintertalk.io/ is very similar to the interface of https://hive.blog/ but there are some differences. On https://hive.blog/ (as well as https://peakd.com/ or https://ecency.com/) all posts published on the Hive blockchain are displayed and the reward of a post is visualized in **$(HTU)**. On https://www.splintertalk.io/, only a subset of posts published on the Hive blockchain are displayed: posts that have one or both of the splinterlands and spt tags. On Splintertalk, post rewards are only displayed in terms of SPT tokens. For example, the post about Splinterlands that I wrote and published yesterday is viewable on https://peakd.com/ (as well as on https://hive.blog/ or https://ecency.com/) where it got a reward of $16.31(HTU). Link: https://peakd.com/hive-146620/@libertycrypto27/splinterlands-staking-sps-tokens-my-rental-activity--3-packs-of-untamed-cards-open-staking-token-sps-la-mia-attivita-di-nolegg Since I used the splinterlands tag my post is also viewable within the https://www.splintertalk.io/ community and the reward I've gotten so far is **263.14** **SPT** tokens. Link: https://www.splintertalk.io/hive-146620/@libertycrypto27/splinterlands-staking-sps-tokens-my-rental-activity--3-packs-of-untamed-cards-open-staking-token-sps-la-mia-attivita-di-nolegg The mechanism for dividing SPT tokens between the **author** of the post and the **curator** of the post (the one who votes on the post) is **50%/50%** respectively (exactly like on Hive), and so if no other Hive user votes on my post, after seven days from the publication of my post I will receive **131.57 SPT tokens** (263.14/2). If you are a Splinterlands player like me who, in addition to playing games, also publishes content related to the game of Splintelands, I recommend you to stake your SPT tokens on Hive Engine because **the more tokens you accumulate and stake on HiveEngine/LeoDex/TribalDex, the more your SPT Power will increase and consequently you will earn more SPT tokens every time you vote a post with the tag splinterlands and/or spt**. The value of SPT tokens Generally, adding a use case to a token produces an increase in the value of the token. The airdrop of SPS tokens has produced an increase of the value of SPT tokens because **each SPT token has the value of 0.25 points** for the purposes of the current airdrop. The last time I checked the value of SPT tokens was July 24, 2021 and 1 SPT token was worth **0.00350 HIVE** (Highest BID) while a month earlier (June 19, 2021) an SPT token was only worth **0.00074 HIVE** (Highest Bid). In the period between June 19 and July 24, 2021 the value of 1 SPT token had increased by **372.97%**. Today **August 27, 2021** the value of 1 SPT token is even higher and is **0.00900 HIVE**. In just over a month, the value of SPT tokens has increased by **157.14%**. In the following image you can see the screenshot of the Market Depth (SPT) chart on https://hive-engine.com/ on June 19, 2021. In the following image you can see the screenshot of the Market Depth (SPT) chart on https://hive-engine.com/ on July 24, 2021. In the following image you can see the screenshot of the Market Depth (SPT) chart on https://hive-engine.com/ on today's date August 27, 2021. My Road to 1 million SPT tokens I earned my first SPT tokens on October 25, 2019 and to date I have never sold a single SPT token and I won't be selling them in the next days either because I have a specific goal to reach: 1 million SPT tokens To reach more easily my goal I created a secondary account, a **curation account** that I called @libertygame27 With my main account I follow many authors whose posts cover different topics and consequently also have different tags. My secondary account @libertygame27 I don't use to publish content but I use it to optimize the accumulation of SPT tokens and its main function is to vote only posts that have the splinterlands tag and/or the spt tag. This way I don't waste my voting power relative to SPT tokens: my **SPT POWER**. July 24, 2021 is the last day I checked libertygame27's wallet. A month ago, I had accumulated a total of **516515** **SPT** tokens (tokens received in delegation from my main account + tokens placed in stakes). The total amount of SPT tokens I have today is **549551** units. In just over a month (33 days) I have increased the amount of SPT tokens in my possession by **33036** units with a percentage increase of **+6.40%**. The average daily gain was **1001 SPT tokens**. To reach my goal of 1 million SPT tokens I still have **450449 SPT tokens** left to go. If I maintain the same rate of daily increment that I have achieved over the past 33 days I should reach my goal in approximately **450 days** (450449 / 1001) = 449.99 days). Splinterlands = Play 2 Earn! I hope you liked this post and thank you for reading and taking the time to read it :) You're not a Splinterlands player? **Splinterlands is a beautiful game and it has proved to be a very good investment (at least until now) and if you participate regularly to the weekly contests organized by the @splinterlands account you will recover the registration cost (10$) in few weeks.** If you decide to register, you can do it from this link: https://splinterlands.com?ref=libertycrypto27 Of course if you'd like to use my refferal link.... :) Any game that allows the purchase of cards and tokens is never a simple game but is also an investment and should be considered as such. I am not a financial advisor and if you decide to invest in the game of Splinterlands you do it for your own choice and at your own risk. See you on the battlefields of Splinterlands.

Is Splinterlands a Good Investment? 21 Months Later + Advices for New Players ***Cover Image****: Logo image owned by Splinterlands - Edit by @libertycrypto27- Font used is Open Source* I became a Splinterlands player on October 19, 2019 and since that day, 21 months and 22 days have passed. Any blockchain-based game that allows you to have full digital ownership of tokens and NFTs (game assets) is never just a game but is also an investment. There are games that require an investment in terms of money to start playing, others that require an investment in terms of time (the free to play games) and others that require an investment in terms of money and time. Splinterlands is a game that can be played just for fun and without investing but in this case you cannot receive the rewards of the game. To play the Splinterlands game and be eligible to receive rewards you need to invest money ($10 to buy the Summoner Speelbook) and time. The time needed to complete the daily quests is little (15-20 minutes per day) but of course each player can choose to stop at the daily quests or continue playing to get more rewards (DEC tokens) and improve their rating. Since I became a Splinterlarnds player I have always written a monthly report. In my monthly Splinterlands reports I analyze Splinterlands solely from a financial point of view and calculate the ROI and any profit or loss. And here I am at my **21st Splinterlands report**! **Note**: In the numbers in this report the comma "**,**" and the dot "**.**" are both decimal separators. Below are the topics I will be covering in this my monthly report: Report Topics - **Final Result Previous Report** - **Evaluation of Splinterlands as Investment (after 21 months)** - Total Investment Cost - Total Revenues - Value of my card collection - Value of accumulated DEC tokens - Revenues from the sale of DEC tokens - Value of the Plots - Revenues from Farms DEC - BUSD LP (CubFinance) - Value of Splintershards tokens (SPS) - Value of card packs purchased but not opened. - **Profit/Loss calculation** - **ROI calculation** - **Report Results Considerations** - **Month by month history of my investment in Splinterlands** - **Suggestions for new players** - But do those who sign up today still have a chance to make a good profit? - The earning opportunities that Splinterlands offers - Miscellaneous considerations Final Result Previous Report The starting point for each of my monthly reports on Splinterlands is the result I recorded in my previous monthly report. https://peakd.com/hive-146620/@libertycrypto27/is-splinterlands-a-good-investment-20-months-later--roi-and-considerations-splinterlands-e-un-buon-investimento-20-mesi-dopo I published my previous report on July 11, 2021 and in the following two images you can see the trend of Profit and ROI that I have achieved in 20 months (up to July 11, 2021). Through July 11, I had invested $524 and had earned a total **profit** of **$2232.06** and a **ROI** of **425.85%%**. I have not yet done the calculations for the last 31 days and for this reason I will evaluate my investment on Splinterlands until today's date at the same time as writing this report of mine. Evaluation of Splinterlands as Investment (after 21 months) To evaluate any investment it' s always necessary to calculate and compare costs and revenues. Below I will calculate the total costs I have incurred to date and the total revenue I have earned to date. Total Investment Cost The total cost of my investment on Splinterlands is given by the following sum: **Registration Cost (Summoner Spell book: $10) + Total Cost of Cards and Card Packs Purchased + Total Cost of DEC tokens purchased + Total Cost of Plots purchased** Since the date of my last report (July 11, 2021) and until today August 10, 2021: I have not injected outside cash into the Splinterlands game and because of this, my total investment cost is unchanged from my previous report and is **$524.14**. Revenues In the game of Splinterlands, the revenues consist of: - the market value of the **Cards** that compose a collection of cards - the value obtained from the sale of the cards - the value obtained from the renting of own cards - the value of the **DEC** (Dark Energy Crystal) tokens accumulated and not reinvested. - the value obtained from the sale of **DEC** tokens. - the market value of the purchased plots. - The value obtained from the sale of the plots. - The value obtained from the use of DEC tokens in a Farm. - The value of **Splintershards** (**SPS**) tokens obtained from the current airdrop (New Entry). - The value of card packs purchased but not opened. What is my card collection worth? To know the total value in dollars of my card collection I always use the useful tool of the **Peakmonsters** site (https://peakmonsters.com/@libertycrypto27/collection) that inside the **Collection** section provides the calculation of the value of my card collection. The peakmonsters site calculates the value of my collection based on two different prices: **Market Prices** and **List Prices**. To calculate the value of my card collection I always consider the lesser of: - the **total value** using **Market Prices**. - the **total value** using the **List Prices**. **Note:** In the calculation of revenues these two values are **estimated values** because both consider the case in which the cards are sold all at the prices indicated. In reality there are cards that are easier to sell and others that are less easy to sell (the cards that have a very high market price), but until now I have always managed to sell all the cards I put on the market at the lowest market price. If I wanted to calculate the precise value of my card collection I would have to consider only the BID Price (the immediately monetizable value) for each card in my collection and the calculation would become very time consuming because my card collection is composed of 1639 cards (5453 BCX) and for this reason I am satisfied with an approximation. On March 26, 2021 my card collection had a value of **$819.63** (using Market prices) On May 3, 2021 my card collection had a value of **1164.44 $** (using Market prices) On May 27, 2021 my card collection had a value of **1349.09 $** (using Market prices) On July 10, 2021 my card collection had a value of **2511.49 $** (using Market prices) Today August 11, 2021 my card collection has a value of **11617.01 $** (using Market prices) In my previous report I recorded an increase in value of my card collection that I thought was very high (**+ 1162.4$**) but I was wrong because the previous increase in value is only about 10% of the increase recorded in this report: **+ 9105.52$**. A really extraordinary increase in value because it happened in a time interval of only 31 days. How much are the DEC tokens I have on my wallet worth? The **DEC** (Dark Energy Crystal) are the **Tokens** native to the game of Splinterlands, you get them as a reward for each battle won within the game and you can also find them inside the chests that you receive every day as a reward for the completion of daily missions and as a reward for the achievement at the conclusion of the seasons of Splinterlands (every 15 days). DEC tokens are utility tokens because they have many use cases: - they can be sold and bought on HiveEngine/LeoDex/TribalDex - can be used to buy cards, potions, starter sets (Spell book) - can be used in the DeFi platforms of CubFinance and UniSwap. - can be used to pay for card rentals - contribute to the score for receiving Splinterlands governance tokens (SPS tokens) from the current airdrop. In my in-game Splinterlands wallet I have a total of **63653** **DEC** tokens (previous month: 79272 DEC tokens). As you can see from the calculations in the following image, today August 10, 2021, **63653** **DEC** tokens have the value of **90.75 $** (Highest Bid on LeoDex/HiveEngine/TribalDex) Receipts from sale of DEC tokens on Hive Engine Since joining Splinterlands I have used DEC tokens primarily to purchase cards from the marketplace for the purpose of upgrading and improving my card collection. Only on one occasion have I sold an amount of DEC tokens to do a Power Up on Hive and increase my amount of HP (Hive Power). On October 5, 2020, I sold 81000 DEC on Hive Engine and received **400.14 HIVE** in return for a value at the time of sale of **64.8 $**. If I had sold them today I would have gotten a lot more. In fact today 81000 DEC tokens are worth much more than $64.8 but in my reports I consider the value the DEC tokens had at the time I sold them. How much are my Plots worth? On November 21, 2020 I purchased 3 Plots at a great price: **7500 DEC** per plot. So I spent a total of **22500 DEC** whose $ value at the time of purchase was **19.66 $**. In the past the **plots** could be purchased directly from the Splinterlands website at the price of **$20** but they have been sold out for quite some time and now who wants to buy a plot can do it only from the markets outside the game Splinterlands as LeoDex/HiveEngine/TribalDex. Today August 11, the best sale offer of a Plot on Hive Engine is 436.96 HIVE equivalent to $194.54. This is another incredible result, a plot that was worth 6.5$ (November 21, 2020) is now worth 194.54$. In calculating my profit I will take into account the value of the Highest BID on https://hive-engine.com/?p=market&t=PLOT which is **400.07 HIVE**. The total value of the three Plots in my possession is 400.07 HIVE * 3 plots = **1200.21 HIVE** = **535.29$** (previous report value: 83.09$) Farm DEC-USBD LP CubFinance (https://cubdefi.com/) is the decentralized finance platform created and developed by the Leofinance community(https://leofinance.io/). On CubFinance I use the Farm DEC-USBD LP in which I put 24000 DECs to work. When I added liquidity in the farm DEC tokens were worth much less than now and for this reason if I wanted to withdraw them now from the farm I would take only 9888.657 DEC tokens (impermanent loss) So far I have obtained 10,243 CUB tokens which have a value of $7,283. The value of Splintershards (SPS) tokens obtained from the current airdrop The airdrop of Splinterlands governance tokens is underway: the SPS tokens. The airdrop has a duration of 365 days and in 15 days I obtained 1711 SPS tokens. As you can see from the following image 1711 SPS tokens have an approximate value of **$522.91**. Value of purchased but unopened card packs I have 42 card packs from the Untamed collection that I purchased some time ago and have yet to open. The value of an Untamed card pack on Hive Engine (Highest BID) is 38.2 HIVE = $17.03. The total value of my 42 packs of Untamed cards is **$715.56**. A bit of calculation... Now I have all the data I need (Total Costs and Total Revenues) to be able to calculate the Profit or Loss and the ROI I have obtained after 21 months of playing and investing on Splinterlands. Profit ( Revenues - Costs ) As you can see from the calculations in the following image the **profit** I got after 21 months and 22 days on Splinterlands is **13310.82 $** (previous report 2232.06 $) ROI ( Return On Investment ) The profit has increased almost sixfold in just 31 days and as a result the ROI has also increased greatly. The ROI was 425.85% thirty-one days ago and now the ROI recorded so far is 2539.55%. Month by month history of my investment in Splinterlands Below you can see the history of my personal investment on Splinterlands from month six through August 10, 2021. The **ROI** trend from month 6 onwards was as follows: - **ROI** after 6 months: **34,73 %** - **ROI** after 7 months: **77.02 %** - **ROI** after 8 months: **10.93 %** - **ROI** after 9 months: **34.33 %** - **ROI** after 10 months: **16.99 %** - **ROI** after 11 months: **57.68 %** - **ROI** after 12 months: **118.59 %** - **ROI** after 13 months: **113.41 %** - **ROI** after 14 months: **111.62 %** - **ROI** after 15 months: **121.26 %** - **ROI** after 16 months: **140.84 %** - **ROI** after 17 months: **246,69 %** - **ROI** after 18 months: **334.33 %** - **ROI** after 19 months: **368.60 %** - **ROI** after 20 months: **425.85 %** - **ROI** after 21 months: **2539.55 %** The trend of **PROFIT** from the sixth month onwards was as follows: - **PROFIT** after 6 months: **27.99 $** - **PROFIT** after 7 months: **82,346 $** - **PROFIT** after 8 months: **24,214 $** - **PROFIT** after 9 months: **78,902 $** - **PROFIT** after 10 months: **44,014 $** - **PROFIT** after 11 months: **149,437 $** - **PROFIT** after 12 months: **307,279 $** - **PROFIT** after 13 months: **316.13 $** - **PROFIT** after 14 months: **311.16 $** - **PROFIT** after 15 months: **338.02 $** - **PROFIT** after 16 months: **392.60 $** - **PROFIT** after 17 months: **687.68 $** - **PROFIT** after 18 months: **1046.56 $** - **PROFIT** after 19 months: **1239.77 $** - **PROFIT** after 20 months: **2232.06 $** - **PROFIT** after 21 months: **13834.96 $** Considerations The result I have recorded in this report is really an outstanding result and it is the best result I have recorded so far. I did not expect such a high increase in profit. The main elements that led to this beautiful result were: - the airdrop of the SPS tokens - the considerable increase of active players. I'm happy and satisfied with this result and my only regret is that I didn't start playing Splinterlands earlier but when Splinterlands was born I wasn't aware of the existence of Blockchain based games. I firmly believe that blockchain based games will be the future of videogames, even if it will take some time before they can have a similar diffusion to the currently most popular centralized games. I expressed my thoughts in a post I wrote a short while ago in which I compared Splinterlands and Hearthstone. **Link Post:** https://peakd.com/hive-131619/@libertycrypto27/blockchain-games-the-future-of-gaming-il-futuro-dei-videogames-engita Splinterlands provides a beautiful example of everything a blockchain-based game can offer players: - fun - exclusive digital ownership of tokens and game cards - many possibilities for earnings and investment Advices for new players But do those who sign up today still have a chance to make a good profit? Often I receive a recurring question from those who are not players of Splinterlands and read my reports: *If I sign up today do I still have a chance to make a good profit or is it too late?* I wanted to answer this question with a concrete example instead of words. On June 21, 2021 I dressed the role of a new player and with my curation account @libertygame27 (on Hive Blockchain) I spent 10$ with which I bought a new Spell book and I started from 0 to see how quickly I would have recovered the initial cost of registration on Splinterlands. In just 42 days and only thanks to in-game rewards (rewards from battles won, daily rewards and seasonal rewards) I recovered the cost of registration and made a profit of **+7.5$ (ROI 75.5%)**. You can read all the details of my experiment in this post: Link: https://peakd.com/hive-146620/@libertycrypto27/my-splinterlands-experiment-from-usd10 The earning opportunities that Splinterlands offers. In my experiment with the account libertygame27 it took me 42 days to get a profit of 7.5$ just by playing and investing 10$ and I didn't use all the earning opportunities that Splinterlands offers to its players. In addition to the activities strictly related to the game such as daily quests there are many other earning possibilities made available by Splinterlands: - **Hive blockchain contest** - **trivia challenge** - **giveaway** - **SPT tokens** - **...** A player who registers now and in addition to playing regularly participates in Splinterlands contests and giveaways organized by Splinterlands and other players can recover the cost of registration in no time. In the following image you can see the vote I received from Splinterlands on my last post that I published on Hive and with which I participated in the Social Media Challenge contest of Splinterlands: I also earned a quantity of SPT tokens with the same post. On Hive, the author of a post receives 50% of the value of the votes he receives, so with one entry into a weekly Splinterlands contest I earned: - **2.48$** (4,969$/2) from Splinterlands vote only - **699 SPT** tokens = 7.19 HIVE = $3.20 If I do the sum I get a total value of 5.68$ which is 56.8% of the cost of registration of Splinterlands. Do you still have doubts? **If I wasn't a Splinterlands player I would become one immediately**. I hope you liked this report and thank you for your time :) Will ROI and Profit grow in the next month or decrease? Follow me to find out ;) Are you not a Splinterlands player? **Splinterlands is a beautiful game and it has proved to be a very good investment (at least until now) and if you regularly participate to the weekly contests organized by the @splinterlands account you will recover the registration cost (10$) in a short time.** If you decide to register, you can do it from this link: https://splinterlands.com?ref=libertycrypto27 of course if you'd like to use my refferal link... :) Any game that involves the purchase of cards and tokens is never a simple game but it is also an investment and should be considered as such. I am not a financial consultant and if you decide to invest in the game of Splinterlands you do it for your own choice, after your personal evaluations and at your own risk. My advice is to always invest only what you can afford to lose with a light heart. See you on the battlefields of Splinterlands.

My Road to 30000 Hive Power: Hive Considerations + July Report ***Cover Image:*** *Background image is* *CC0 image* *- edit by @libertycrypto27 - Font used is Open Source* https://pixabay.com/it/photos/strada-panorama-orizzonte-dritto-3478977/ On March 5, 2019 I became a Hiver and after a short period of adaptation and some small difficulties related to new mechanisms and concepts such as Resource Credits and Voting Power then I was literally conquered by the beautiful world of **Hive, a decentralized, free and uncensored world.** Today August 6, 2021 it's been a little more than 2 years and 5 months since the day I created my account libertycrypto27 and as I do every month, for several months now, I like to write and share my monthly report regarding my progress and goals on what is my favorite blockchain project: **Hive**. My goals on Hive **Main Goal:** **30000 Hive Power** **Secondary Goals** - Engagement Goal (total number of comments): **15000** - Reputation Goal: **76** - Total Number of Posts Goal: **1300** - Followers Goal: **1000** Progress Status **Start from the main goal** Main Goal: **To be achieved by December 31, 2021.** When I set my main goal HIVE was worth a less than it is now and more importantly I had more free time available to post content and interact with other Hive users. I knew I set a difficult goal to reach but with 5 months to go before my goal expires I honestly think it will be really hard to cross the 30000 HP goal. However, it is also true that a goal that is too easy to reach is basically a false goal that does not motivate you to give more, and in my life I have always tried to set goals that are very difficult to achieve otherwise I would not have had the motivation to work hard. I built a table to monitor my progress towards my main goal and I divided the main goal in intermediate goals of monthly duration. As you can see from the table in the image below the intermediate goal I had to reach in July was **2170.40 HIVE** (fifth column of the table). My Wallet On June 30, 2021 my Wallet had a value of **16977.62 HIVE** (HIVE+HP+HBD). On July 31, 2021 I took the screenshot of my Wallet at: https://peakd.com/@libertycrypto27/wallet (following image). As you can see from the following image, 5 days ago my Wallet contained: **0 HIVE**, **17389.98 HP** and a total of **106.57 HBD**. Adding up all the data (HIVE+HP+HBD), the total value of my portfolio was **17657.78 HIVE** (July 31, 2021) In one month, the increase in value as a percentage of my wallet in **HIVE** (HP+HDB+HIVE) was 4.01% and the increase in value expressed in terms of HIVE was **+680.15 HIVE**. The result is lower than the result of the previous month (June) which was **+769.09 HIVE** but could have been higher.In fact the reason for this difference is due to the fact that I chose to invest about 200 HIVE in the purchase of second level tokens from Hive, I invested almost 50 HIVE in the Dcrops game and I used 44 HBD to purchase 10 packs of cards from the blokchain based game Muterra that will be playable on Hive most likely next December. I've updated the table with the results of the July and, as you can see from the image below, this month I didn't reach the intermediate monthly goal I set for myself. 12342 HIVE separate me from my goal and to reach it by December 31, 2021 I should earn an average of 2468.44 HIVE per month for the next 5 months but as I wrote before is very difficult to achieve. Based on the current value of HIVE my account has an estimated value of **$7402** (previous month: $5441). If I divide this value by the total number of months since my registration I get an average monthly increment value of **255.24$** (7402$ / 29 months). Secondary Goals Reaching 30000 Hive Power is my most important goal but it is not the only goal I have. I have also set secondary goals that I still consider important. Engagement goal (total number of comments): 15000 Among all my secondary goals, the total number of comments is the one I care most about because it's only by reading and commenting on the posts of other authors that connections are created and interaction is generated on Hive. Without **interaction** we can't talk about community and since the strength of Hive is mainly the strength of its great community without interaction between its users Hive would lose so much value. The main advice I give to new users is to interact and comment as much as possible. Reading and commenting the posts of other Hive authors, responding to comments received is a very important activity for those who want to grow on Hive. I have seen many authors leave Hive because few read and commented on their posts but in many cases they were the first ones not to read and comment on the posts of other authors. Why would a reader prefer a Hive post to a post from an online newspaper? The answer is only one: because of the interaction with the author of the post. My comment-related goal is to write at least 1500 comments by the end of 2021. In 2 years and 5 months I have written a total of **10588 comments** and my monthly average is just over 12 comments per day. In order to reach my goal regarding the number of comments I need to interact more and to do that I need more free time so I hope to have more in the future... Reputation Goal: 76 On Hive each account is associated with a numerical value called **reputation**. Reputation is one of the many elements that differentiates Hive from other centralized, traditional platforms like Facebook and Twitter. In centralized blogging platforms only user data and preferences are important to platform owners because data, photos and content are a source of wealth as they can, **by contract**, be sold to outside companies interested in this data. Reputation is not always a reliable value because in the past it was allowed to use Bid-Bot but I have never used bid-bot so I consider this element as a valid indicator of my blogging activity on Hive. On June 30 2021 my reputation was **73.36**. On July 31, 2021 my reputation was **73.54**. In one month my reputation grew by **0.18** points with a monthly percentage increase of **+0.25%**. According to the site information: https://hivebuzz.me/ranking I am at position number **532** in the ranking of the reputation of all users of Hive (last month I was at position number **547**). Target Total Number of Posts: 1300 I've tried to self-motivate myself to be constant in publishing content and for this reason I set a goal for the number of posts published: 1300. In July I exceeded 1000 published posts and I stopped at 1008 posts. In July I published **27 posts**, 1 more post than in June. Also this goal will not be easy to reach because to reach it I should double the number of posts published in July: 58 posts per month for the next 5 months Target Followers: 1000 In May I increased the number of followers by 24. July: Considerations I don't know which of my goals I'll be able to reach but I really like Hive and I'm sure I'll have fun just trying to reach the goals I set for myself. I could have done more but I'm still satisfied with the results I obtained in July, especially considering the little free time I had available. Another positive note is that, despite having published only one more post than the previous month, I have increased my total author rewards - Total Author Rewards (HP): **566.49 HIVE** (last month: **455.09 HIVE**) I also increased the curator rewards but this data is not significant because right after Hard Fork 25 there was a week in which the curation mechanism had a small anomaly and those who voted like me the posts close to payment got much higher rewards than normal. - Total Curation Rewards (HP): **260.25 HIVE** (last month: **159.99 HIVE**) Conclusion Reaching my main goal (30000 Hive Power) will be almost impossible because I should earn 2400 HIVE per month but if I get close to 25000 HP I will be happy. As I do at the end of each of my monthly Hive reports I want to end with some thanks. I want to thank all the people who follow me, who read and comment on my posts and all the people who support me because they have contributed to the growth of my account. A special thanks goes as always to @fedesox, the creator of the community of [Olio di Balena](https://peakd.com/c/hive-146620/created) of which I am a happy moderator, who supports me since I was a small and inexperienced user of Hive. I would also like to thank the @discovery-it community that I follow with pleasure and who honored me by giving me the opportunity to become one of their curators. Thank you all **What goals have you set for yourself?** If you like, you can write your goals in the comments and I will be happy to read them. If you haven't set yourself any goals, I suggest you do so because setting goals is the first step towards achieving them. If you are not a Hive user you are missing a great opportunity to be part of an important project and on Hive you will not be just a simple user as on Facebook & Co but you will be a part of Hive. If you don't have a Hive account you can easily create one in a few steps. I have written a short tutorial where I show you how to do it: HIVE: Registration and First Login with PeakD https://peakd.com/hive-177682/@libertycrypto27/hive-registration-and-first-login-with-peakd-tutorial The images in this post are screenshots taken from the sites: https://peakd.com/ https://hivestats.io/ https://hivebuzz.me/ The images that contain calculations and formulas are my property The font I used in my images or in the images I edited is Open Source

Splinterlands: My End-of-season considerations + my end-of-season reward ***Cover Image:*** *Logo and Card images owned by Splinterlands - Edit by @libertycrypto27- Font used is Open Source* July 31, 2021 marked the end of my forty-fourth season of **Splinterlands**. For many months now I have been following a very **specific strategy** for the final part of Splinterlands seasons: - I rent a few cards to surpass the power score of 500000 points to try to get into the more advanced Splinterlands leagues (the Champion leagues). - my rental activity starts two days before the end of the season and ends at the end of the season. - I set a maximum budget for the rental of cards. In my strategy the budget for card rental changes and adapts to the value of the cards and especially changes based on the value of DEC tokens. For this reason the last season of Splinterlands has not been a season like the others because in the previous season, ended July 15, 1000 DEC tokens were worth $ 1.30 (0.0046 HIVE) while during the last season the value of 1000 DEC tokens has exceeded even if for a short time the value of $ 7.00. With these different conditions I increased the budget for the rental of the cards that before July 29 had never exceeded the limit of 2.3$. My end-of-season goal For several seasons now, my goal at the end of the season has always been the same: to finish the season at least in the **Champion III league**. Finally after two consecutive seasons in which I did not reach my minimum goal I finally finished the season in Champion III league and then... **Goal Reached!** Unlike the previous two seasons, I reached my goal fairly easily and 15 hours before the end of the season. My starting point Two days before the end of the season I was in the Diamond III league, had a power score of 281600 points and a rating score of 3204 points. To meet the Champion III league entry requirements: - power score of 500000 points - rating score of 3700 points I **rented 26 cards** and for the rental I used the Peakmonsters website (https://peakmonsters.com/). I rented the following cards: 1. War Chaang UNTAMED Level 6 (XP 46) 2. Silvershield Paladin ALPHA Level 7 (XP 4600) 3. Lord Arianthus REWARD Level 3 (XP 3000) 4. Silvershield Knight ALPHA Level 10 (XP 7560) 5. Gloridax Guardian UNTAMED Level 4 (XP 11) 6. Feral Spirit ALPHA Level 10 (XP 7580) 7. Clay Golem ALPHA Level 7 (XP 4600) 8. Angel of Light ALPHA Level 4 (XP 7000) 9. Dragon Jumper UNTAMED Level 4 (XP 11) 10. Serpentine Mystic REWARD Level 8 (XP 8550) 11. High Priest Darius UNTAMED Level 4 (XP 11) 12. The Gorlodon UNTAMED Level 6 (XP 46) 13. Kretch Tallevor REWARD Level 6 (XP 46) 14. Dark Enchantress ALPHA Level 6 (XP 7750) 15. Flame Imp REWARD Level 8 (XP 8550) 16. Naga Warrior ALPHA Level 6 (XP 7750) 17. Sabre Shark ALPHA Level 10 (XP 7560) 18. ALPHA Medusa Level 8 (XP 8500) 19. Peacebringer ALPHA Level 8 (XP 8500) 20. Beetle Queen REWARD Level 8 (XP 8550) 21. Earth Elemental BETA Level 6 (XP 2625) 22. Water Elemental ALPHA Level 8 (XP 9000) 23. Albatross UNTAMED Level 6 (XP 100) 24. Spark Pixies UNTAMED Level 5 (XP 40) 25. Delwyn Dragonscale PROMO Level 10 (XP 7560) 26. Fiendish Harpy PROMO Level 6 (XP 7875) The twenty-six cards I rented gave me a power score of **525289 points**. For the rental of the cards, I spent a total of **886.37 DEC tokens**. Based on the current value, 886.37 DEC tokens have the value of **9.19 HIVE = $3.79** I finished the season in place number **225** in the **Champion rankings** with a rating score of 3764 points. I have played 106 more battles than in the previous season but I have lowered my seasonal win rate from 51.83% to 50.33%. My total win rate however remains higher: 54.51%. Unlike the previous season I'm very satisfied with my game results achieved but now let's see how the economic results of the season went. My end of season reward As a reward for finishing the season in Champion III league I received **80 chests**. In the following image you can see the cards I found inside the chests. I found **27 cards** out of **80 chests**. The chests can contain three types of rewards: **Cards, DEC tokens, Potions**. The probability of finding a card in each chest is exactly 1/3, so I found a perfectly average number of cards compared to the below average probability (80/3= 26.6). I found: - **23 common cards** - **4 rare cards**, The most valuable card I found inside the chests was the Efret Elder rare card of the fire element which has a market value of **$0.70** and a **DEC** conversion value of **40**. The total value of the cards that I found inside the chests is **7,775$** DEC and Potions I also found **21 Potions** (11 legendary potions and 10 alchemical potions) and a total of **2418 DEC tokens**. Based on the current value of DEC tokens (August 4, 2021), **2418 DEC tokens** equals the value of **25.07 HIVE** (Highest BID on LeoDex/HiveEngine/TribalDex) The dollar value of 2418 DEC tokens is **$10.33**. Now I'm going to do some calculations to determine the total value of my seasonal reward net of the rental costs I incurred: - total card rental cost: **3.79 $** - total value of the cards found in the chests: **7.775 $** - total value of DEC tokens found in chests: **10.33 $** In this season I spent more from card rental and I didn't find single high value cards in the seasonal reward chests but I end the season with a higher profit than in the previous season. In fact in the previous season I had a profit of +11,618 $. In the last season I had a profit of **- 3.79 $ + 7.775 $ + 10.33 $** = **+14.315 $**. Seasonal Rewards Vs Daily Rewards The seasonal reward is the reward that contains the most chests, but the sum of the daily reward chests is always higher in number. **Seasonal Reward (July 16-31):** - 21 potions - 27 cards - 2418 DEC tokens **Sum Daily Rewards (July 16-31):** - 38 potions - 50 cards - 10617 DEC tokens That's why **it's always important to complete all daily quests**. Total DEC tokens earned In the season (16-31 July) I won 232 battles. With 232 wins I earned **14499 DEC tokens**. Between seasonal rewards, daily rewards and battles won I earned a total of **27534 DEC tokens** in 15 days (2418+10617+14499). As you can see from the calculations in the following image, just considering the DEC tokens earned in a season of Splinterlands I earned **117.64$** in 15 days! **Splinterlands = Play 2 Earn!** I hope you liked this post and thank you for reading and taking the time to read it :) You're not a Splinterlands player? **Splinterlands is a beautiful game and it has proved to be a very good investment (at least until now) and if you participate regularly to the weekly contests organized by the @splinterlands account you will recover the registration cost (10$) in few weeks.** If you decide to register, you can do it from this link: https://splinterlands.com?ref=libertycrypto27 Of course if you'd like to use my refferal link.... :) Any game that allows the purchase of cards and tokens is never a simple game but is also an investment and should be considered as such.

@libertycrypto27 2 August 2021

My Splinterlands Experiment: From -$10 to +75.30% profit in 42 days and only with game rewards! ***Cover Image:*** *Logo owned by Splinterlands - Edit by @libertycrypto27- Font used is Open Source* Splinterlands is my favorite blockchain game and that's why I write so many posts about Splinterlands. I often get a few questions in the comments like: *You made a nice profit but me starting now can I still make money?* Or I have received statements like: *I think it's late to start playing now, I should have done it earlier but now maybe it's not profitable to do it.* For example when I shared my monthly report number 20 of Splinterlands on read.cash the user with the nickname @plint wrote me: *Interesting article. Would you say turning a profit is also possible with just the $10 investment, or that the purchases of cards and plots you made were essential to the profit your turned?* In the following image you can read my answer and his subsequent comment to my answer. Another example. When I shared one of my end of season rewards on noise.cash the user Whitershade wrote to me (English translation of the comment I received): I've never played splinterlands but I hear of people making money on it. I think getting in now is inefficient for me though. Good luck with your strategy! From these comments was born my idea to do a little experiment and to return to play the role of a new player who signs up for the first time on Splinterlands to have a practical case to share with those who will write me comments similar to those I have received so far on blogging platforms outside of Hive. So on June 21, 2021 I decided to spend $10 and bought a new Summoner Spellbook and made my curation account for SPT tokens (@libertygame27 on the Hive blockchain) also a game account on Splinterlands. The experiment was to play and use only in-game rewards (Ranked Battle, Daily Quest and Season Rewards) for account growth to see how quickly I could recoup my initial spend ($10) and get into the full profit zone. Well, today I checked the value of the assets accumulated so far from the libertygame27 account and wanted to share the progress and results. Card collection value From June 21 to today (August 2, 2021) 42 days have passed. In 42 days thanks to daily quest rewards and three seasonal rewards my Splinterlands alt account has gained a card collection consisting of 31 cards. - 26 common cards - 4 rare cards - 1 epic card Unfortunately I didn't find legendary cards and gold cards but this is good for me but it was good for the experiment. According to the Peakmonsters website calculation (https://peakmonsters.com/@libertygame27/collection) the libertygame27 card collection has a value of 11.85$ (using market prices). Thanks only to the cards found inside the chests I recovered the initial investment of 10$ and I am in profit of **+1.85$**. The DEC tokens In the game of Splinterlands, every time you win a battle you have an increase in your rating score and at the same time you receive an amount of DEC tokens which depends on various factors (number of consecutive wins and use of certain cards) but mainly depends on your rating score. In addition, daily rewards and seasonal rewards consist of chests that can contain three types of rewards: Cards, Potions and DEC tokens. In 42 days with the account libertygame27 I got a total of 1179 DEC tokens. Today 02 August 2021 1179 DEC tokens have the value of $5.68 Profit **( Revenues - Costs )** The only cost I incurred was the $10 cost (registration). Revenues are the result of the sum: card collection value + DEC token value. In 42 days I obtained a **Profit** of **7.53$**. ROI **( Return On Investment )** The profit of 7.53$ corresponds to a **ROI** of **75.30%**. How did I get this result? Below I list the ways in which I obtained this result: - I played daily only the battles necessary to obtain the daily rewards: 5 or 3 battle victories (depending on the different daily missions) - only in two days I played more and I did a greater number of battles: during the last day of the last two seasons. On these two days I used the accumulated DEC tokens to rent some cards from the Splinterlands marketplace. Renting cards allowed me to increase my Power score and allowed me to receive an end-of-season reward consisting of more chests. If you want to see my **rental strategy in detail** you can do so from the following link: https://peakmonsters.com/@libertygame27/rental_history With the introduction of the in-game rental system of Splinterlands renting your own cards or renting the cards of other players has become a simple and above all profitable activity for all parties in the game. I spent just under 700 DEC tokens on card rentals over 42 days but ended up with a balance of +1179 DEC tokens. Except for 2 days (July 30 and July 14) where I played more in all the remaining 40 days I spent an average of 15 minutes a day completing the daily missions. After 21 months of playing the game I am very fast in choosing my battle formations and I almost never watch the battles, but a new player will take more time because watching the battles and studying the characteristics and abilities of the cards is very useful at the beginning but it takes more time. Splinterlands is a game that requires a little bit of effort at the beginning because it's a strategy game but it's a fun game and after more than 21 months since I joined I'm still having fun! Conclusion **Investing 10$ and getting a profit and a ROI of more than 75.3% in 42 days and only from the game activity is really an EXCEPTIONAL result that shows how Splinterlands is a winning project with a huge potential!** But Splintelands offers much more than that: - Weekly contests - Giveaway - Trivia Challenge - Airdrop SPS token - Card Rental - Trading (Cards, DEC tokens and SPS tokens) - SPT tokens (obtainable by publishing posts with spt and/or splinterlands tags on the Hive blockchain) With my experiment I wanted to show that Splinterlands is profitable even for the player who starts today and just wants to play (does not want to participate in contests and does not want to publish content about Splinterlands). The "smartest" player who wants to take advantage of all the earning possibilities that Splinterlands offers will recover the initial investment of 10$ in a much shorter time than @libertygame27! I'm glad I did this experiment because now I'll have a concrete example to share with those who comment on my Splinterlands posts and mistakenly think that registering today is too late ;) My next experiment? With @libertygame27 I have successfully concluded my experiment! I'm still thinking about it but my next experiment could be to start with a new account, pay only the registration fee (10$) but unlike my last experiment I will invest all the DEC received from the rewards in renting cards without waiting for the last day before the end of the Splinterlands seasons with the aim of trying to shorten even more the time to recover the initial investment (10$). I hope you liked this post and I thank you for taking the time to read it :) You're not a Splinterlands player? **Splinterlands is a beautiful game and it has proved to be a very good investment (at least until now) and if you participate regularly to the weekly contests organized by the @splinterlands account you will recover the registration cost (10$) in few weeks.** If you decide to register, you can do it from this link: https://splinterlands.com?ref=libertycrypto27 Of course if you'd like to use my refferal link.... :) Any game that allows the purchase of cards and tokens is never a simple game but is also an investment and should be considered as such.
