Hehe...yeppers, I'm buzzzzzzing all over the Blockchain! Awww...thanks so much for that! Yes, I think that you joining me in the Ecency Leaderboard is an excellent idea! Also, if you're in the top 3 you get 3 HIVE and 500 Ecency Points, with anywhere else in the top ten receiving 2 HIVE and 300 Ecency Points, all automatically every Monday, all for just being active and engaging on Ecency. Thanks a lot! I'm happy that you appreciate them! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

I'm glad ya dig it! The Ecency Leaderboard is counting activity using the Ecency frontend, either via the mobile app or the website. When the Hive Engagement League was still operational, all activity on the Blockchain, with special focus being given to engagement, was counted. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

Something else popped into my mind regarding the various little things that we can do to boost our accounts. The Saturday Savers Club is a great way to make and accomplish Hive goals, and by commenting in the weekly post, you have a chance to win EDS. HSBI is also distributed to those commenting.

Oh, also, you can use Engage via the Hive Keychain mobile app too. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

#HiveEngage isn't working properly again right now. 🤯 Sometimes, the website loads but the feeds don't finish loading, while sometimes too, the website itself doesn't load at all. 🤯 That means I will would simply reply to your other comments (and rarely directly to your posts themselves) in the meantime (again). 😅

There's another technical issue on the #Ecency frontend where excluding reblogs on a Hive account's Followed feed (such as https://ecency.com/@tydynrain/feed?no-reblog=true for your own Followed feed on Ecency) still shows reblogs. 🤯😅

I can still open the post links on #Ecency by changing the domain name, though that's a bit inconvenient !INDEED. 🤯

Even if I curate directly on #PeakD and not on Ecency, the highest amount of Ecency Points that I will miss is 1 Point for the first curation for the day (UTC), then 0.95 Points, and so on. 🤔 That's compared to the first comment per day on Ecency (that I seldom do on PeakD or any other Hive frontend) which earns the Ecency user 5 Points for the first comment for the day, 4.667 comments for the second comment, and so on. 😅

Since the 28th Hive Hard Fork making changes to how curating works using Voting Power, we can choose to vote a lot on certain days and let our VM go down to more or less 50%, so that when there is something that prevents us from (easily) curating right on the #Ecency frontend, we can simply wait (for a day or two) before the issue subsides !INDEED. 🤓

Even if I follow quite a lot of Curation Trails on #HiveVote and set quite a lot of Hive accounts' posts on autovote, my Hive account's Voting Power still sometimes gets to exactly 100% if I don't keep my VP at most 80% whenever I start a commenting session here on Hive. 💸🤯😅

Perhaps if a Hive account on the #HiveVote dapp follows about 100 active Curation Trails and the dapp continues to work properly, then even a Voting Threshold at 99% on #HiveVote won't make the Hive account's Voting Power reach 100%. 😆🤓

I think that #HiveVote makes no distinction between official Hive curation trails (run by community or tribe leaders) and unofficial (individual) trails, since they work completely the same way to those who follow them. 🤔 A Hive account that has never been used for #HiveVote by its owner can become a curation trail too if followed by someone using the dapp. 😅

The reason why I and @savvyplayer follow each other's curation trails is because whenever one of us is unable to curate before any of our Hive account's Voting Power is close to 100%, the autovote should kick in and reduce our VP enough to avoid letting it sit at exactly 100%. 🤔😎😏

Both I and @savvyplayer try to curate posts and comments until our respective Voting Power is between 60% to 80%, so that it's unlikely for our VP to approach 100% (and either #HiveVote autovoting triggers or our VP reaches 100%). 🤔🤯😏

I don't really try to get my voting mana to a particular level on my account because I always have so many notifications that it always goes down to at least 95% each night just going through them all. I do focus on getting the voting manna on my Blurt account, and our 'We Are Alive Tribe' account, to the upper 80s, so that they're back to 100% by early afternoon. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I was referring to the fact that when a Hive account's Voting Power sits at exactly 100%, then that account is "wasting" its VP. 🤔💸🤯 Nevertheless, it's not bad for the Hive blockchain in general, and some may even find it good since potential rewards of that account are "burned" !INDEED. 🧘‍♂️🤓

#Ecency Perks now has an AI image generator page where generating an image costs 150 Ecency Points (which costs $0.30 when bought directly using HIVE, HBD, or credit card on the Get Points page, since 500 Points is equivalent to $1.00). 🤔💸🤯😅

In case #PeakD hosts their own version of #Ecency Perks and whenever the Ecency platform encounters a technical issue, Ecency users would be more likely to perform their daily activities (typically commenting, curating, and posting) on PeakD (until the technical issues on Ecency are resolved). 🤔🤓😎😏
