This morning we have updated the liotes ranking. We have added the credits from missions and from engagement on our posts, we have updated the points from delegations and also from staking LENM. We still have @solymi in the lead but @pixiepost has reduced the difference and is much closer now. In third place we still have @jongolson but there is now @horstman5 in 4th position who has overtaken @idiosyncratic1. What is interesting to see is that these two together with @jfang003 have earned most of their points by engaging with our mission posts and the liotes posts in general. It's the proof that you don't need a big investment to be in the top 5 of the Liotes ranking! ## Liotes voter adding value to the community The primary objective of the @liotes.voter is to support the members of the community. It is doing that by giving upvotes to quality posts of the members of our community. We have realized that lately less posts are being created and this is a pity. It seems that lower Hive prices discourage people from posting especially from posting good content. What we should remember is that the value of a post is always the same expressed in hive whether prices are high or low. ### Post when people don't When there are few people posting, there are still all the curators out there looking for good content. In such times, it's worth to create interesting content. You might get upvotes that previously went to other people who are not creating posts at the moment. In the end your posts will get more upvotes and more value in Hive. --- ### Liotes A project run by @ph1102 and @achim03 #### Resources - [Website](https://liotes.com/) - [Hive account](https://peakd.com/@liotes) - [Liotes Online Shop](https://liotes.com/index.php/shop/) - [Discord Server](https://discord.gg/CGUEfVQ) - [Lbry account](https://lbry.tv/@Liotes:a?r=EtCZhJxUES3qmfsNzxXkw17q9rzKx4tN)

There were again a lot of very interesting questions in the Liotes discord this week by @relf87 and @luizeba regarding the liotes.voter. For the people who are quite new to Liotes, it's probably not so easy to grasp how everything works. Therefore, I would like to use this weeks news post to speak about the Liotes.voter account and especially how we distribute the upvotes...

Firstly, I would like to thank everyone who participated in [our last mission](https://peakd.com/hive-119826/@liotes/tell-us-about-yourself-mission) where we called you, guys and girls, to tell us more about yourselves in the comment section of the post... For the first time ever, the post had more comments than upvotes! We had 221 comments on that post which is just awesome! People were leaving a reply to the post with their introduction, others were joining the conversation and it was beautiful to see people engaging with each other... That's what matters! The community and helping each other! A couple of days ago, one of our Lioteans with the username @condeas has created an awesome review of our project and you can check it here https://peakd.com/@condeas/project-liotes. It is in German (you can translate it with Google Translate), and it's probably more than 7 days old, so you can't upvote it (but you can send a TIP if you want), where he mentioned an interesting thing about our project... We have all been at the beginning small minnows here on Hive and starting from zero is hard... You receive small upvotes, trying to accumulate enough HivePower to earn some curation rewards... When you get there, not every upvote collects rewards, so your ROI on curating is maybe just 2-3%... Until you get a significant amount of HP, you are actually losing money... But, there is a solution for that... Just like joining some mining pool when you are a small Ethereum miner, or here on Hive, [WORKERBEE miner](https://peakd.com/hive-119826/@ph1102/workerbee-p-h-ool-let-s-help-each-other), you have an option to gather more small accounts, create one big one which CAN earn with FULL potential... By doing that, you are getting maximized rewards thanks to being a part of a much bigger account... You get your portion of a cake and do with that whatever you want... At the moment, here on @liotes, we have 2 options for how you can maximize your profits... One is where you can buy $LENM, stake them, and receive $LEN tokens as rewards... You can use these tokens in our shop (coming very soon!), use them on some other websites (also coming soon!), or just simply sell them on the markets and take your profits... The other option is maybe perfect for smaller accounts... You can DELEGATE the part of your HivePower to our @liotes.voter account and receive payments for that in $LEN tokens! By doing that, you actually don't need to make additional investments by buying $LENM... As Achim said in the previous [video about author rewards](https://peakd.com/hive-119826/@liotes/lzpdqtgd), we share those earnings with everyone by delegating to @liotes.voter, upvoting YOUR content, and burning $LEN tokens (make them more scarce and more valuable)! #### Our voter mostly upvotes quality content from our community members and we would appreciate if you could follow our trails that we have created > **@liotes.voter for HIVE upvotes, and our tribe token curation trails for specific niche content like @liotes.leo, @liotes.ctp, or @liotes.vibes... As all three tribes have a linear curation curve, you will not lose anything if you upvote sooner, later, or whenever... Also, we don't have "incentives" in them except SUPPORTING our community members!** #### So, if you follow our curation trails, you will not only support our project, but also other friends from the community and YOUR investment... Check out the video for more details about all this...
