My 5th Anniversary on Hive

My proposal has slipped out of funding, probably because the return proposal has been upvoted. If you can take a look and consider upvoting 265 or un-voting prop 0, it would be appreciated!

Happy Hive Anniversary Day to Me

I've just returned home from a two week holiday with my family which was far more exciting at the start than I wanted it to me, more on that story later perhaps!

The view from the beach club, Karpaz Gate Marina, Northern Cyprus

Hive account@hivebuzz tells me that today is my 5th Anniversary on Hive and wow, that's gone fast. As I became more comfortable with Hive it came to dominate my online life. I came to Hive after being deleted from Facebook upon the orders of the UK Government. I was really just collateral damage but it made me realise how important and how rare, true censorship resistance is.

I'm working on a bunch of posts about the Marina where we stayed which I'll draft and post via Hive account@travelfeed because that's the best place to write a long form reviews. I'll probably post a few highlights to Tripadvisor to help out the hotel, but I know that this is Web 3.0 here and I will own and profit from content I share on Hive.

I am a shareholder in Hive. It took a long time for me to fully grasp the concept of why Hive Power is called "vests" but of course this is because we use the language of share ownership and "vesting shares". I'm invested in the future of Hive and that just isn't the case with any other online system.

Meanwhile v4v.app continues

And while I was away, v4v.app worked flawlessly, I monitored the Lightning node and moves sats around to keep things humming but the system works.

I'll be back to work on developing the system further in the next few days and writing a bunch of posts!

Value for Value

For the last few months while building Hive account@v4vapp I was generously supported by the DHF. Going forward I have a much more modest support which covers direct server costs and a little of my time.

If you appreciate the work I do on and around Hive, you can express this directly: upvoting posts on Hive is great. Also consider a direct donation (there's a Tip button on Hive or a Lightning Address) on all my posts.
