Actifit Daily: Fitbit Integration Almost Ready! Increased Post Upvote Wait Time. Top Daily Actifitters

This update represents a compilation of the recent news, updates and projections about our Actifit project, including top actifitters for the preceding voting cycle, as well as updates on our account and delegations !

Fitbit Integration Almost Ready!

Wearable integration with Actifit has been a key request by many members of our wonderful community. Among those wearables, Fitbit has been a key focus of ours due to the leading position this wearable has in terms of market size.
In 2017, recorded numbers are at 25.37 Million active Fitbit users source

You can easily notice via the chart above Fitbit massive growth across the years. Think about the growth of all wearable markets, or the whole fitness industry. How about Actifit's potential? Do we need to say more why we believe Actifit will be a game changer?

So back to Fitbit integration, today we were able to successfully perform our first successful round of syncing data, using our Actifit Android app, from Fitbit API.
What does this mumbo jumbo means? it essentially translates that anyone who owns a Fitbit, will be able to, after syncing their data to their Fitbit account, to also sync this data to Actifit app, and pull their activity (and other info) to their Actifit daily report, and earn rewards for activity tracked using their Fitbit.

While we have not finalized the integration yet, this step is critical and constitutes the core of the integration work.
There is still additional work involved, and we will need to perform several rounds of testing over Actifit and Fitbit integration to ensure it works perfectly, before releasing it under the new version.

So this is where you could help. If you are a Fitbit owner, using an Actifit Android version (or wanting to give it a try), please head over to our discord, and contact a moderator so that we could add you to our #beta-testers, and provide you with early access to give Actifit / Fitbit integration a try!

Increased Post Upvote Wait Time

Following our V2 update, posts are getting rewarded according to a variety of aspects, including the content, amount of upvotes and useful comments the post had received at the time our Actifit bot starts upvoting.

Our bot behavior has been to skip on posts which are less than 1 hour old, to give them a chance to acquire more upvotes and/or comments, to improve their content, or receive a proper moderator review.
Recently we received some suggestions by few actifitters to increase this wait time, to give posts further chance to garner a better reward, especially due to timezone differences.

Accordingly, as of today's upvote session, we increased this wait time to a min of 6 hours per each post, so that any post that is younger than 6 hours, will not be included in today's rewarding round, and will be kept till the next day's rewarding session.

As a result of this change, we will definitely see a drop in tomorrow's voting round, and many posts will be skipped till tomorrow's round. This does DOES NOT mean that any deserving post is not getting a reward, it merely means it will wait a bit longer to give it better chance of more rewards.

Overall, we believe this change will reflect positively on posts. We will keep an eye on behavior, and adjust accordingly if need be.

A kind reminder to all actifitters: some versions of esteem app still cause issues when used to edit your reports, via removing essential info Actifit uses to identify proper reports. This prevents related reports from receiving rewards.
Until this issue is officially fixed via the esteem team, we advise that you use other Steem interfaces for editing, including our own actifit.io, steemit, busy or others.

Delegation Status

The amount of delegated SP has a large influence over not only the daily/weekly delegation reward, but also on the amount of rewards the actifitter receives on daily reports, as it constitutes a key element in User Rank.

Which is why being an Actifit delegator now has more influence on your rewards, coupled with number of AFIT tokens and other factors highlighted before.
Add to that, and a key important item that will benefit Actifit by receiving more delegation, is the ability to claim and create more user accounts. At the moment, Actifit is claiming around 10 account spots per day. Although this is a good start, yet the number is still small compared to the potential that Actifit has to bring in masses. Simply another reason to delegate to Actifit!

Actifit continues to receive amazing delegations and support by more members of our community.
Below is the recent list:
@ketcom(100 SP)
@khaleelkazi(250 SP)
@zemiatin(10 SP)
@coralcastle(15 SP)
@astrophoto.kevin(752 SP)
@niallon11(250 SP)

Accordingly, @actifit account is now at 221,082 SP

Thank you to all delegators for the wonderful support! To see the list of all our delegators, check out actifit.io/delegators

Delegators share a max cap of 100K AFIT tokens according to their delegation amount, and also earn a 5% beneficiary reward from actifit posts' beneficiary earnings.

Since many ask, here we describe again an easy way to calculate your AFIT tokens for a full day of delegations:
(Your Delegated SP) * 100,000 AFIT MAX / (Actifit Account Delegated SP - without account own SP and any delegators who opted out).
So for instance if you had delegated 100 SP, your daily earnings would be around:
100 * 100,000 / 216,000 = 46.29 AFITs

We are always appreciative of more delegations to be able to better award actifitters and support our project, so thank you for doing that !

When you are looking to increase your delegation, you need to use the new total amount as the delegation amount, and not only the increased amount. Otherwise only the new amount will be used, and the remaining amount will be undelegated.

To delegate, you can use any of the following links:
10SP, 20SP, 30SP, 50SP, 100SP, 250SP, 500SP, 1,000SP, 5,000SP, 10,000SP, 20,000SP, Custom Amount
Make sure you have at least 15 SP left on your account.

If you believe in Actifit, please consider voting for Actifit as witness
