About 5 days ago we have launched the Liotes Diesel Pool and we are quite happy with how it was used so far. In the video we show you some numbers to illustrate that.
This will be the last Liotes News of 2021 and we are pretty excited for 2022. There are some nice suprises waiting for us and we hope that there will also be some nice surprises for you from our side.
When I see all the shiny things where people can put their money in, I believe that staking Hive is maybe not the most attractive investment at the moment. However, I believe that we should all power up some hive. This is not only profitable for you but also for communities like Liotes. Watch the video to understand why...
## The challenge of this week
This week we would like to know what your strategy is regarding Hive Power? How often do you power up? How much do you power up? Do you power down? Do you take part in the HPUD?
Write your answer as a comment below this post (https://peakd.com/hive-167922/@liotes/fkaabact) to take part in the Liotes Mission.

When we look at the people in the Liotes community we are quite happy to see that most of the ones that joined the project at the start are still here. We deduct that people are quite happy with Liotes. However, we also realized that we didn't manage to bring that many new users to the project in the meantime. More users would be good for the project. This would mean more LENM sold, more votes on our posts, more interaction and more value for everybody. Therefore, we would like to ask you for your ideas how to reach that goal:
**Gives us your ideas, how we could bring more new people to Liotes.**

Last week I have showed you how can you easily calculate APR for Hive-Engine miners, and you can check that post [here](https://peakd.com/hive-167922/@liotes/obobtqwz)... This week, I have decided to show you my approximate calculations of APR for LEO and SPORTS token curation... To do that as simplest possible, I have used https://hivestats.io/ for pulling out wallet and rewards data...
For doing that, I have used my two personal accounts that I use for tribe curation, ph1102.leo, and ph1102.sports... As I have delegated some of my tribe power, these calculation isn't 100% exact... So count them as approximate percentages...
It is possible to calculate the exact amount (for your curation habits, as it depends on the number of upvoted posts per day, your Voting Power percentage, etc...), but to keep this as much easier to follow, I did it with approximate amounts...
Also, you can calculate the "theoretical" value for these things if you pull out complete data for your targeted tribe (number of staked tokens, curation rewards pool distribution, etc)... But, that is also just an approximate number as not everyone is using its power 100%... I have compared the results that I got in this video with these on the "higher scale" and they were really close...
Check out the video for more details...

As Achim said yesterday in the video, the last week was turbulent at all levels... Not just in all cryptocurrency markets, but also, here in Liotes...
We got aware of a great opportunity to be listed on the VFTLab farming platform, asked you guys what do you think about it, and we all together jumped into voting-mania... It was a long shot, we knew from the beginning, as $PIZZA token guys were competing also, and we all know that everyone likes pizza! Including us!
So, long story short, we didn't win the race for one empty spot, but we did our best... As we are a much smaller community (at the moment :P), we have lost...
**I would like to congratulate @thebeardflex and the whole Pizza Community for the win and fair play! Well deserved, guys!**
Also, I would like to thanks all of you guys who have given your vote for the LEN token! We appreciate the support and it's a huge reward for us to see you guys keeping our back!
#### OurPick Discord Channel
Now, back to the business... As you already know, we have started a new highlight/curation account named @OurPick, where we create posts (will try to do them daily) and highlight authors... We were doing it alone for the beginning, but we were thinking about creating a small manual curation team around the project... But, before doing that, we would like to invite you to suggest your favorite posts (preferably from other authors) for the next future @OurPick posts!
We have created a special channel in our Discord server where you can do that! Take an action and help other Hivers to be highlighted for their efforts and hard work!

After our downtime caused by illness, we are back to work and we manage to create a nice quantity of posts with @liotes and @ourpick at the moment. Thanks to these posts, we could increase the „production“ of BEE tokens that we will need for the Diesel Pool project. We are getting closer ....
In the [liotes ranking](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vT15H8Ix01KrjfmHfMIkCfYKvVlavUhH3ydg8zTlVKSP2_E_z2s4DH7czR3PdX_qBmd2e-Os13AH7UD/pubhtml?gid=0&single=true) @gadrian has become the next Wind Maker of the Liotes project. Congratulations! He will recieve a little bonus of 5 LEN!

Yes, we said that we will not go deep into the mechanics of Liotes, but there is always some question about how certain things work... So this video is more for those of you who want to know how it looks in the background, what is currently happening, and how we think in a short term, and especially in the long term...
Building something to be sustainable in the long-term isn't that easy job, but when we have started the project we were thinking MOSTLY in the long-term and how our supporters can profit altogether... It is easy to create a program where those who come first, cash out and earn, and all the rest are paying for that... The point of Liotes is that we together create a system where the value of the base token is going up through time... To make that happen, it is important to add value to it through quality content, sell/rent products that are profitable for the customers, and invest time in developing additional income sources...
From the first day, we have been on a mission to do all that... From the start of the LENM token sales, we have created an online shop where you can buy/rent products that can help you in building your passive income, we have created a @liotes.voter account that is rewarding people from the community, added more curation trails for different tribes, etc.
One of the important things is the "burning program" that exists on Liotes... We are slowly building up our buy wall which will burn all LEN tokens that come to it... But, until that happens, we have added some additional burning methods that are already working every day... Some of you probably know about them, but for the rest they are:
- 10% on shop purchases is burnt almost instantly after the processing of the order
- 10% of liotes.voter LEN purchases - this isn't a fixed percentage and it will be modified depending on different aspects
- All dividend gains from @liotes delegations to @liotes.voter (always forget this one to mention)
I didn't mention the last method in the video, but it is also an important one... As you know, when we get author rewards for our posts, that HivePower stays on the @liotes account... To avoid additional hustle with powering down, we delegate all that HP to the @liotes.voter account... Like that, it receives LEN dividends, which are burnt...
As I said in the video, Liotes is a kind of community project, as all of you guys participating in some of these aspects even without knowing it... You are using the shop, selling LEN tokens, etc, and by doing that you are BURNING LEN tokens and raising the value of the project as a whole... Thanks for all your support!

Last Monday we have asked you whether you would be interested to have the LEN token stakable on the [VFTlab Defi plaform](https://vftlab.finance/). The feed-back that we got was mostly in favour of it. It would be one additional use case for the LEN token.
## Let's vote for LEN
What has to be said about this is that it's not in our control whether this will happen or not. It's a [governance question](https://peakd.com/musicforlife/@al-gaming/m4l-get-your-favorite-coin-on-vftlab) of the people who run the musicforlife platform. To be able to put LEN on VFTlab, we actually need to vote for it.
### How to vote
Each person can cast one vote by sending 1 Vibes token to the account @burnthevibes and giving the token that they want to vote for (LEN) in the memo. Votes have to be cast until 22.5.2021.
The tokens sent will be burnt.
At the moment there are two tokens in the race: LEN with about 5 votes and Pizza with about 10 votes. You can check the votes with [this link](https://he.dtools.dev/@burnthevibes?symbol=VIBES). We need to beat the pizza :-)
## The Liotes Mission
By taking part in the Liotes missions, you can win credits that will help you to increase your score and your title in the [Liotes Ranking](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vT15H8Ix01KrjfmHfMIkCfYKvVlavUhH3ydg8zTlVKSP2_E_z2s4DH7czR3PdX_qBmd2e-Os13AH7UD/pubhtml?gid=0&single=true).
### Today's challenge
To take part in the challenge you simply have to answer as a comment to this post whether you are in favour of LEN being on VFTlab or not. It's as simple as that. For answering this question, you will get 3 credits.
If you vote for the LEN token by sending 1 VIBES token to @burnthevibes with the memo LEN before the 22.5.2021, you will get 3 additional bonus credits.
We are very grateful if you enter the challenge within 24 hours after the post is published. We will try to count entries up to 36 hours after publication. If you vote after the deadline, you won't get any bonus credits.
