A very good morning . 

Last week I had posted about Bro account and Hive ( Part 1 ) , today we shall continue that and see more data related to Hive and BRO accounts . 

You can find the PART 1 here - https://peakd.com/@brofund/brofund-accounts-and-hive-part-1 . 

Today we shall see curation and author rewards . 


## Curation rewards

Note 1 : This is weekly data . The numbers are aggregated for each week . 

Well this says July 2nd week was the highest earning month ( curation rewards ) . 

But the numbers doesn't make sense isn't it ? What does 1.1 M rewards mean ? 

Well we just talk about Hive , HBD , Hive Power all the time but when retrieving the data from HiveSQL we get the data in VESTS . 

So these numbers are actually in VESTS . Well although converting this to HP doesn't change the pattern , I will show the chart in HP too so that you know the actual numbers .

Well the pattern won't change when converted to HP . So 630+ HP was earned in July 2nd week . 

Final thoughts - The pattern says that the amount of HP earned through curation have been decreasing over time . 


## Authors who got most curated ( based on curation rewards for brofund accounts)

Well what the number actually means ? If you see @trumpman, it says 622.6 . It means that 622.6 HP was earned by @brofund accounts where the author was @trumpman.

The rest is self explanatory I guess.

# Author rewards

Note 1: This is monthly data . 

Note 2: This is only HBD payouts .


This is a good pattern to see as the author rewards ( in HBD ) has kept on increasing and July 2021 was the highest earning month . 


### Author rewards in HP 

We all know the we get paid in HBD as well as in HP . So let us see payouts in HP too .

Now this shows a different pattern than HBD right? How come ? Why isn't both the same ?

Take this example : 

Let us say in January the price of Hive was 25 cents and we got 100 HBD payout which means we got 400 HP payout right ? 

Now if we take today's scenario , Hive is 50 cents and we got 100 HBD payout - we will get 200 HP payout and not 400 HP . 

So although HBD payout value is same , HP payout will differ based on Hive price .

That's it from me today . Will be back next week with another analysis post .
