RE: DO NOT read this post unless you actually understand Hive
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I do all of my voting manually.
The only time a user actually losing out on interest is when the bar is at 100%. Hive regenerates at 20% a day.
So, the only rule I have is that I want the bar to be at 90% before I go to bed so that I will have a full half day before i vote next.
If I plan on taking a day or two vacation, I need to get the bar down to 70% or 50% the day before taking the vacation from HIVE.
I find that I usually scan through the new post list an only open about 1 in 20 posts. I usually only upvote about 1 in 5 of the posts I upvote.
It takes me a long time to curate. If I can't find anything to upvote, I upvote my own posts.

If you're going on vacation, I think it would be more financially worth it to set yourself up for hive.vote and follow one of the trails. That way you maximize your curation but don’t go days or weeks in the future without earning a single hive in curation. Spend all the voting power one day, go away for 4 days and 7 days after that 4 days of not voting and you’re not earning anything. I think it would be better to earn a little bit constantly.
Leaving the percentage at 100% is indeed a big missed opportunity. I understand wanting to take your time with curation, rather than just throwing up say 10% to every post on your feed. That defeats the purpose of curation if you aren't being selective with it.
@cmplxty has a good idea. It could be beneficial to set things up to happen automatically during a vacation. Sure there will be some downtime while you are enjoying yourself, but I never want to be the dude at the dinner table or on the beach just swiping on his phone and liking posts. We must balance our lives with our Hive activity. Neither one needs to be neglected.
