I'm here in Rosarito, Mexico for Hivefest and it has been tremendous. As the formal events have now ended perhaps I'll have some more time to write up full posts on Hive.

I gave a talk and when I find the online version of that I'll post it but for now I'll just highlight another appearance I made but which came as a bit of a surprise!

Yesterday those of us who came to Mexico were treated to the first premier of the film produced by Hive account@lordbutterfly Hive account@littlelamb and the DHF telling the creation story of Hive, Freechain.

The film is a skillfully produced explanation of blockchain, freedom and forms just enough basis to then explain the creation and birth of Hive in the aftermath of the Steem takeover.

The film has a number of well known Hiveans interviewed on camera which was obviously done specifically for the film. However there is a significant clip featuring an interview I gave in March 2020 talking about the event. That video is still on Hive account@threespeak so I thought I'd pull it out.

The Steem part starts at 4m 55s though I found it interesting to re-watch the early Covid news from then.

This was shot before Hive was even birthed, and I before the HF23 which stole user funds. It was right after the power ups which pushed all of Justin Sun's witnesses into the lead and running the chain. I significant part of this interview was used in Freechain and it fits in very nicely.

I hadn't really even remembered doing this but it was the last time I went to Hive account@blocktvnews's studio in Tel Aviv because they were pretty much shut down by Covid. They continued a bit doing some remote stuff but they closed the project down early in lockdown. A real shame, they were highly professional and did some great reporting in short soundbites and explained things well.

Hopefully I'll put up some more Hivefest posts soon, perhaps a bunch of photos.

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.
