### Right, let’s jump into it! https://listnerds.com/banner/250x250/listnerds.png ___ **Best viewed on PeakD** ___
The journey has been phenomenal so far. The only thing I’ve been struggling with was the amount of votes I can give to other users, due to my limited CTP holdings. Well, I made a bit of a plan. It’s still not quite where I’d like it to be, but it’s looking better already. Below you’ll see how much CTP I had. It’s a small stake, which gave me about 2 votes a day, by my estimates. At the bottom of the screenshot, you’ll see I had 5 HE liquid. These were 5 liquid LISTNERDS. ___ ![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/therneau/23xVZjgShYkyt3hHc43RRLPfWMCYrkswhDYSXcxDuAdS9Kp8ANqPokCD6PNc2qmpy6wTK.png) ___
I transferred this to Hive-Engine, and the rate was 1.6 HIVE to 1 LISTNERD. That’s the lowest I’ve seen it, as it usually varies between 1.8 – 2 HIVE per LISTNERD. Anyway, I’ve built up quite a bit of LISTNERDS through sending out emails, so for the sake of having more CTP, I went ahead with the exchange anyway. ___ ![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/therneau/23viCsN7M9AGzGGqvLvYhZueMJUemjWQAVMRFTCtTEYBBdSqZnfv9H5bWdAxNsDcqrBwA.png) ![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/therneau/23w38FheAYNjMtSbX2MJzghUk7FSwmQJ8Tf9wLJbVdyBQFDtH8tMCW5vg43YcPAoku32G.png) ![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/therneau/23tc8GYG5ge5wDDBgGGcjhGwSWddHY3onFAz3xNzFEKGV2WAfWAwzLKSWkWQZzFQETSif.png)
##### This gave me 8.136 blahblahblah SWAP.HIVE, which I then used to buy some CTP on ListNerds.

##### Now I can throw more votes around to my fellow ListNerd users. Happy days!
I’d like to get my CTP up to around 5000. I’ve heard this is a good amount to *Really* get more than enough votes to use. I’ll get there. Slow and steady wins the race. I’ve never been on a Richlist before, so this is pretty cool to see, as I’m quickly climbing up through the ranks.
##### First, here’s the Top 10 ![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/therneau/23tcLZQeczXuiT9HWfr3eVZExCrcvJsts9HgBNAFGohpARVEvQUBpnC9YitFcSpZhZXhp.png) ___ ##### Next, here I am, at number 28. Not quite in the top half of the Top 50 rankings, but I’m getting there quickly.

##### If everything goes according to plan, I’ll be in the Top 25 within the next few days 😊
I currently have 10 more mail that needs to be verified, and with the votes received, those should go through as well. Currently, at an average of 100 LISTNERDS per verified mail, that’s another 1000 LISTNERDS. ##### Let’s look at those figures quickly.
If I had to assume those 10 emails get verified, and at it to my current earnings, I’ll be sitting on 3058 LISTNERDS after two weeks of work. Looking at the lower end of 1 LISTNERD to HIVE (1.6), that’s an astounding 4,892.8 HIVE. ___ ##### Thanks to everyone for the wonderful support so far! It’s been great meeting an entire community of new people to engage with both on Hive and throwing some votes around on the ListNerds platform. ___ #### If you haven’t checked it out yet, you totally should.
