52-Week HBD Savings Challenge

A 52-week challenge following the popular model starts slowly and becomes increasingly more difficult with every passing week. The challenge is not at the beginning but at the end. That's why, we can use the easy start to prepare for the tougher weeks ahead.

In my case, I started with 1 HBD in week 1. This is also the step that increases the amount I need to save every week. The rule is, in my case: I need to add to savings the amount of HBD per week equal to the week number in the challenge. That means, in week 52 I'll need to save 52 HBD.

We are in the 8th week of the 52-week HBD challenge. That means I added 8 HBD to the savings for this particular goal, and reached 36 HBD, without counting the accrued interest.

Here's how things look right now:

Another week when I managed to keep this challenge going without using any HBD reserves. In fact, I managed to put another 4 HBD aside for future weeks.

Posting & Commenting Goal

I haven't missed a daily post this year yet. Reached 1704 posts published, with 301 left to hit the target in 2024. That puts the progress at 14% where 13.46% was needed to be in the green.

Here's the situation so far:

I haven't missed any edition of Week through Adrian's Lenses in 2024 either, and I mention this since it's also part of my posting goal. Overall, I reached the 58th edition of the weekly roundup which debuted at the beginning of 2023.

I also started the week with 17,669 comments made. Ended the week with 17739, which means I made only 70 comments last week, again below the weekly average needed to reach the comments target by the end of the year. However, that keeps me slightly in the green with comments made this week too.

I currently need an average of 95 comments weekly to reach the comments target by the end of the year.

Land Plots Unlocked

Another significant progress in unlocking land plots this week, using freed-up DEC to help. I expect the progress will start to slow down because it's becoming difficult to find suitable replacement cards with a lower energy requirement than 10k.

Started the week with 44 plots unlocked and productive and 8 under construction. I currently have 45 productive plots and 11 under construction, again, 4 more than last week.

For the accounting part of this goal, I'll add plots under construction as unlocked, to better see changes from week to week, even though, technically, they are not productive until the clearing part is finished and you feed the workers.

Here's the current situation:

And a more detailed view:

Productive Plots: 45
Under Construction: 11

A few other worksites will be completed this week, which will increase the number of productive plots.

ZING Multiplier

I started the week with 19,067 ZING (I no longer have any ZING diesel pool position on this account).

My ZING holdings are now at 21,242, which continues a solid growth toward my short-term goal. 3,758 remaining to add until 25k.

Here's the current situation:

Where previously I delegated to Holozing my new HP added every day to the posting account, starting today I stopped doing that as the APR for HP delegation is now below 20%. A few percentages lower and I will undelegate my existing HP delegation, which is pretty low as it is, since I haven't used my staking account.

LEO Staked

My LEO stake increased by the LPUD amount to 23,050 LP.

I just re-upgraded to premium but also reduced my delegation to leo.voter since I can't access the 20-22% APR tiers.

Here's the current situation:
