Three Months of Faucet Earnings

in #steem5 years ago

Time flies. Three months growing SP using faucets!

The faucet earnings were a bit less than the previous week's, but were pretty good too. 7,856 satoshi, converted to 0.00904888 Dash, and traded for 4.569 STEEM through BlockTrades (Steemd transaction link).

Even though the faucet earnings have dropped a little, earnings from the investments side got an increase. I've bought some more STEEM and increased my delegation to Brazilians to 270 SP (formerly 200), and this gave me a weekly payout of 1.026 STEEM. The around 11 QuratorTokens that I'm holding gave me daily payouts amounting to 0.130 STEEM in the week. Added to the faucet earnings, the total became 5.725 STEEM!

Since I had determined it'd be the week that I'd save up STEEM to renew my SP lease next month (2.737 STEEM), I was left with 2.988 STEEM to power up, and I've rounded it to 3 STEEM. Not bad, even after subtracting what I have to save up!

Monthly Balance

As it's been one more full month of faucets, let's do the monthly balance.

Earnings (faucets only):

  • Week 1: 3.991 STEEM.
  • Week 2: 4.177 STEEM.
  • Week 3: 4.718 STEEM.
  • Week 4 (minus the amount I'll save up for next month's SP lease): 1.832 STEEM.
  • Total: 14.718 STEEM.

Overall (faucets + investments + rounding etc.):

  • Week 1: 5 STEEM.
  • Week 2: 5 STEEM.
  • Week 3: 5.601 STEEM.
  • Week 4 (minus the amount I'll save up): 3 STEEM.
  • Total: 18.601 STEEM.

Since the beginning:

Earnings (faucets only):

  • Month 1: 6.416 STEEM.
  • Month 2: 6.307 STEEM.
  • Month 3: 14.718 STEEM.
  • Total powered up from faucets since the experiment's beginning: 27.741 STEEM.

Overall (faucets + investments + rounding etc.):

  • Month 1: 8.382 STEEM.
  • Month 2: 8.878 STEEM.
  • Month 3: 18.601 STEEM.
  • Total powered up from this experiment since its beginning: 31.324 STEEM.

This last month had really nice results (the earnings were more than double the previous months'!), and I hope the results will keep improving going forward too! If so, instead of powering everything up, maybe I could save part of the earnings for other investments (buy some more tokens, or Steem Monsters/Splinterlands cards, things like that). I'm thinking about it...

If anyone else 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.
