For the second month in a row I'm glad I extended the amount of time I have to do the results back in October (bumped it up from the 5th of the month to the 7th for the Official Results), because I needed it this month again! Although this is the first month since September we haven't hit a new ATH (all time high) number of participants, we were only off by 3 - can't complain about that, especially given the power up total ended up being the highest this year (and maybe since we started back in 2019 - hoping to confirm that by tomorrow's post).
Now as always, a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who contributed to this month's Hive Power Up Day, either through powering up, posting, offering prizes, or spreading the word. As I said on 
In the cryptosphere, the bear continues to slumber through this crypto winter, but it doesn't seem too frosty here on Hive. Once again (and dare I say for the fourth month in a row without jinxing it) there's been a ton of excitement around Power Up Day today, and I have a good feeling about the participation numbers again for December! 🙂
Seems like we're also getting new faces joining in, which I think is one of the best parts of Power Up Day - seeing newer, smaller accounts taking steps to grow their stake, which also builds their influence in the community. What a great thing to be able to celebrate the first of every month!
As always, a big THANK YOU to everyone who participated in this Power Up Day by powering up, posting, and/or shouting out on all traditional web 2.0 social media. All of those things help shine a light on the blockchain, which in turn helps to grow our community. Special thanks to
I wasn't entirely wrong - only two more participants would've tied last month, and three would've given us the ATH, but as I said - not complaining in the slightest, because all in all I think the results are...
So to break it all down, we had 126 qualifying entries for the prize pool (same as in November) with 207 total entries (compared to 209 last month) and 227 posts with either the #HivePUD, #HPUD, and/or #HispanicHPUD tags on the first (last month we had 229).
For the overall number, the power ups ranged from 0.008 to 6333.333 (my own personal best power up!) Hive Power for a grand total of...
35,116.131 Hive Powered Up!
By comparison, the total in November was 18,606.096. That's an increase of almost 89% from last month. Any way you look at it, I call that...
The Lists
Here is the UNOFFICIAL winners list for December 1st. If you spot any errors, or your powerup/post was somehow overlooked, please shout out as soon as possible.
The OFFICIAL written-in-stone list will be out tomorrow (the 7th) and at that time the sponsors can award their prizes. The complete list is in my somewhat newly combined announcement & welcome to Power Up Day post, and will be included in the official results as well.
Again as always, special thanks to my numbers guy 
PLEASE NOTE
This list only includes those who powered up & posted about #HivePUD and/or #HPUD on the 1st, and met the criteria (reputation between 39 and 69 before powering up; Hive Power between 100 and 8000 prior to the 1st), and posted using the tag(s) so they qualify for prizes. I don't assign placement numbers until the official list is posted, and I've added a separate list below this one for those who posted & powered up, but their accounts were either too big/too small in their Hive Power or Reputation to qualify for the usual monthly prize pool.

Participants who don't qualify for prizes
(but qualify as amazeballs because
they participated anyway!❤️
which inspired me in August 2021 to start offering a small but special prize pool for these folks)
Thanks again to everyone for making this #HivePUD monthly event such an amazing success! I'm so proud to be a member of this wicked awesomesauce community!
