Sixteenth Week of Growing SP Through Faucet earnings

in #steem4 years ago

Since the CoinPot faucets have been loading fast and working with no problems (something that's not always true), I thought it'd be viable to aim for the bonuses from the "100 faucet claims in a day" goal. I actually managed 100 claims every day last week, and for the first time, I made more than 10,000 satoshi! I don't think I can keep making 100 claims every day, but at least now I know that it's possible to get 10,000 satoshi in a week.

To be more precise, I made 10,116 satoshi, converted into 0.01277922 Dash and traded for 5.971 STEEM through BlockTrades (here's the link to the Steemd transaction).

My SP delegation to Brazilians got me 1.027 STEEM in the week, and my around 12.3 QuratorTokens gave me 0.148 STEEM. Including the faucet earnings, the total became 7.146 STEEM.

And the time to renew my SP lease has come. But instead of renewing the 130 SP lease for 2.737 STEEM, I tried to see if I could lease a bit more SP for the same price, as STEEM (and SP) prices have dropped since I had first paid for that lease. Not quite the same price, but I got to lease 150 SP for 2.857 STEEM (only a 0.120 STEEM difference). I had saved up 2.737 STEEM from the faucet earnings to pay for the lease this month, which was short of 0.120 STEEM for the new lease's value. So, I used 0.120 STEEM from last week's faucet earnings, and also choose to save up 2.857 STEEM for next month's lease. After this, I was still left with 4.169 STEEM to power up! The first times I saved up STEEM for the lease, practically nothing was left for me to power up, so I think this result is great!

If anyone else is interested on growing SP through faucet earnings and would like to use the faucet websites I'm using, here's a post with more details and tips, and here is a short interview with a few more tips.

Wow! 100 claims in a day. I'm lucky if I can remember to get a dozen in a day.

I won't always have enough time (and patience) to make 100 claims. But the claims are actually split in two days for me, because the faucet's servers are on UTC time, and midnight (when the day rolls around and the daily challenges counter resets) is 9 P.M. in my timezone. I usually try to go at least 1/3 of the way at night.
