The News
My personal Hive news is that I finally hit 80k HP today. It has been a long road. I am likely to spoil it as I will need to power down a little pay for my trip to @Hivefest. It is only right that my crypto earnings make a contribution.
This song came to mind. I am someone who lived through that decade.
I hope to see lots of you in Amsterdam in September.
It is good to see the $HIVE price recovering a little right now as that will mean I do not need to power down as much. It should also have some effect on the ticket prices.
Friday Follows
- I always love to see other people doing #FollowFriday posts.
stepped up this week. Anyone is welcome to use the tag as they like.
- I did a post this week with some statistics on where Hivers are located.
has done much more with the data in a series of posts. The data is out there for anyone to use and I love seeing more graphs. I want to see more people compiling lists of local users as you cannot do it all from queries.
- Brighton musician
has put out an original song on Hive. It is great fun.
- Witness
was one of those at the Hive UK meetup last weekend. I was not able to get there, but it looked great fun.
Those listed above get a share of the post rewards.
The Doghouse
There is another phishing attack happening on Hive. Be very wary of any comments promising free money and do not log into sites you do not fully trust.

You may have seen that over on Blurt there are disagreements over plans to code a major account off the chain as it is felt they are disruptive. That blockchain is not really decentralised, so the developers can do such things. Some people are talking about coming back to Hive, including this guy who says he would be attacking certain users. He has shown how unpleasant he can be and so he would not be welcome anyway. His Blurt funds have lost a lot of value, so I doubt he could do much damage here.
The End
Hivefest is less than three months away, but there is time for other events over the summer. I may organise one near me once I am over the COVID. All that is really needed is a time and a location. What matters are the people who turn up and the conversations they have. Online conversations are fun, but real life ones have better bandwidth.
Hive five!
