Wow! So much has happened since Hard-Fork number 22 in the old chain and last March 20th, that until now we had enough time to inform the community supporting our witness, about the current status of the nodes we manage under your trust. We hope that no event will happen in the future that will prevent us from informing again the state of affairs of your representative personified in @cervantes.
Our apologies for this...
Curation
Our banner in support of the Spanish-speaking community of #Hive has been, is and will be the curation of content. Our curators have total independence over what they choose according to their own tastes and convictions. There are eight curatorial accounts assigned to different people around the globe, of different nationalities, but with the native Spanish language as an inalienable common requirement. These accounts support a range of publications from 50 to 65 daily.They are human beings, who have this high responsibility; they feel, suffer, have problems, happy moments and a great etcetera. They are NOT BOTS, they do the manual work, they check the feed with patience in search of publications in Spanish (with the tag #spanish), which represent the values and high principles of our language. Of course they do the healing thoroughly and for that they have written their criteria, namely:
Discord
The witness @cervantes manages a server at Discord in order to guide the Spanish-speaking community on best practices in #HIVE, educate through live programs, provide an informal meeting point among authors, in short, a site for everyone.Original Content
The themes of the moment, global anxieties and days of international observance are dealt with on a weekly basis, by the magnifying glass of authors committed to expressing the thoughts, attitudes, reflections and learnings that can come to human consciousness, through writings from their own pen. The rewards generated by these publications are distributed among their creators. With the support of @steempress, the latest writings brought by the pen of Original Content have been:- Amar u odiar el Jazz...
- Cuando el idioma nos une
- Creatividad protegida: la propiedad intelectual
- Conciencia para la paz
Science Magazine
At Cervantes Science we have not stopped publishing (of course, Science never ceases to amaze us), a space that has become a reference point and where collaborators have been able to bring in everyday scientific topics and treat them in a digestible way. With the support of @steemstem and the same mechanics of distributing rewards among creators, the latest issues available and topics covered:- ¿Cuáles son los límites del pensamiento?, El coronavirus y su impacto en el cambio climático en: Cervantes Ciencias// Vol. 71 p. 2-2
- La salud no se queda en casa y ¿Está garantizada la alimentación en el futuro? en: Cervantes Ciencias// Vol. 71 p. 1-2
- Resiliencia y Noticiero científico en: Cervantes Ciencia// Vol. 70 p. 2-2

Witness Zone
A live program, where the Spanish-speaking community participates, conducted by the users @tomastonyperez and @alexaivytorres who manage the times, the audience and the questions to the representative of our witness @cervantes, the user @pgarcgo. Over the course of an hour and often biweekly, a lot of information about our network is covered, news and entertainment is made available to the Hispanic community in a relaxed atmosphere, with music, events, awards and much more. The program is recorded and uploaded to the witness's YouTube channel, so that people who do not attend are informed. The most recent program is available at the following link:Moderation
Recently, our counselor, @loreennaa, put her newly acquired programming skills to the service of the community and brought the world to: Moderator-hive, a naughty but hardworking son who helps sort publications in the publications promotion rooms. On a weekly basis, the moderation team agrees with the curators and selects a few posts from the daily rounds to support users who participate in the Discord. Latest moderation reports available:Cervantes Presents
The witness @cervantes continues to promote knowledge among authors, through the publication of Cervantes Presents. A prerequisite but necessary to get out in a number is: to be a constant user for at least 90 days in the blockchain. Once the prerequisite has been met, the interested party must fill out the form from which the team will collect the information to be published. Keep in mind that there are always people in line, please be patient. The last ones to be presented:Bloque 64
Block 64 was devised as a digital news broadcast medium, in Spanish, without censorship, decentralized by nature of origin, that is, mounted on the #HIVE blockchain. A token called BLQ rewards the contributions of news authors. The vision is to return to the independent press, that which is not afraid to do TRUE journalism, detached from the centers of power, favoring local news over the large conglomerates that shape public opinion.Multiple users have contributed to the project's progress. As every blockchain undertaking, it has had its ups and downs and, today, it seems to take a new impulse from the hand of a multidisciplinary team that has as its tutor @pgarcgo and is made up of the users: @fermionico, @alexaivytorres, @diazrock, @ilazramusic and @kevinml07. Here is the latest news about the project:
- Primer avance de funciones en Bloque64// El Periódico Descentralizado
- BLOQUE64 activó dominio en HIVE, airdrop BLQ's y otros avances
- Desarrollo del frontend de bloque64 (iv)
- BLOQUE64, bocetos logo, primera reunión cara a cara, Github y entretelones
Social Networks Traditionals*
*traditionals: those networks that do not run on blockchain
HIVE and fork 23
We wrote it at the beginning of this publication, from the moment the community was informed of the sale of the 20% stake of #Steem to TRON Foundation, on February 14th, until finally, on March 20th, the master nodes of #HIVE started to synchronize new information, even, until several days later to achieve the complete stability of the chain, the witness @cervantes has not stopped working. It was a long night of sleeplessness, discussions and debates with the fork's leading group that worked very discreetly, to obtain the results that are in sight today.It has been very hard to get so many people to agree and align them under one premise: the result must be a decentralized chain OF TRUTH. Only time will reveal the outcome of 40 days that will go down in the history of blockchains with DPOS governance; but what you can be sure of is that the witness @cervantes worked feverishly to consolidate #HIVE, along with a group of more than 60 community members who made up the task force.
And create some other videos to inform the spanish community such as this one:
Infraestucture
Shortly after the successfully completion of HF23 (which was a complete success in terms of network continuity) we migrated the whole server infrastructure (1 main server, two backup servers and one seed) to hive.
What's new?
We will resume two activities that we had paused for the reasons given above:- Re-launching of "Live Curations", a Sunday space hosted by Juan Miguel Salas and streamed by Twitch.
- Webinars and educational podcasts are back, with a large team of specialists who will discuss different topics: music, crypto-currencies, doubts about Hive, medicine, science, in short, for all tastes! and within the community channel in Discord.
Hardfork 24
We are collaborating with the hive-core development team mainly on testing tasks to prepare HF24 and secure the transition. Given to the computer engineering background of
we are planning to deep deep diving on the core graphene/c++ architecture to not only perform test/review of upcoming hardforks but also to actively contribute in developing new features.
At @cervantes we continue to work by and for the Spanish-speaking community of #HIVE
