Correct, only powered up Hive counts, not any delegations (even your Ecency one) in order to make it fair to everyone. And no need to apologize - I've been here on Hive for over 4 years, and I'm still asking questions & having a hard time wrapping my brain around some things. 😂
Well, I have just extrapolated out my progress so far, and it looks like you're quite right — I should reach 100HP before 1-Mar-2022, according to my calculations! Let's hope that I can maintain this level of progress in the meantime.
