How to present facts with a smile

Sometimes, yes sometimes, something completely unexpected happens in a moderation.

You're sitting with a panel of worldwide Hive experts on stage and you expect a discussion about deep technical details, about the next upcoming facts and much more.

But then you realize that already after just a few words the whole thing completely goes off the rails - not negatively, but simply in the fun direction.

That's exactly what happened in Kuala Lumpur at the CoreDEV panel of the hive blockchain.

Honestly, take the time to watch the panel yourself, form your own opinions, and follow the discussion as it unfolds to discover what the global experts truly have to say

Enjoy the fun we had breaking the ice.

What matters most to me is that this beginning wasn’t planned at all; it happened spontaneously in that moment through several people on stage. That’s what makes it so unique and special for me, the chance to interact with these amazing individuals in such an authentic way.

A big thank you to Hive account@gtg for creating these unplanned moments of fun, and thanks to Hive account@blocktrades and Hive account@crimsonclad for embracing this unique experience.

Sure, I will never forget this!

Hey Hive Family
looking for Hardfork 28
but first watch this panel
and let us travel the world again

Enjoy the epic start of the first discussion panel

With such a big smile, I can’t help but watch the beginning over and over again.
But please make sure to watch the entire discussion and explore all the exciting new features.

Transcription

Ok, today I spend some time on testing a programm called descript to get a nice caption to this video. See my results at the video and learn more at descript.com for your own videos. Yes, there is a free of charge available, but this brings the nice watermark.

See the nice green active word and the easy to read big text

Question about Hardfork

Question about the date

Answer

Some answers are fully correct but maybe a bit to short.

See Hive account@crimsonclad reation - no more words needed

Facts

Top 8 Key Features & Announcements for Hive.
All this made from the content of the transcript.

1. Launch Date Confirmed

Hardfork 28 will go live on November 19, 2025.
The upgrade has been tested 5-6 times on mirror net to ensure stability.

2. Improved Voting System

Voting power will remain consistent until fully depleted, replacing the current system where each subsequent vote has less power.
This makes the experience more intuitive for users.

3. Extended Transaction Window

Transaction expiration extended from 1 hour to 24 hours, making multisig operations much more practical when multiple parties need to sign.

4. Light Accounts for Easy Onboarding

Users can create accounts using social logins (Google, Facebook) without managing keys. These second-layer accounts can be upgraded to full Hive accounts later, dramatically simplifying onboarding.

5. Custom Authorities

Apps and games can create specialized permission keys (like a "game key") that only work within their ecosystem, improving security by limiting key exposure.

6. Enhanced Security Model

Higher-level keys (active, owner) can no longer be used for lower-level actions (posting), preventing accidental key exposure in frontend applications.

7. Second Layer Atomic Transactions

Introduces atomic transactions at the second layer, allowing multiple operations to succeed or fail together, matching first-layer capabilities.

8. Developer Tools: WAX & Swagger

New WAX library simplifies development, while Swagger provides interactive API documentation that lets developers test functions in real-time without reading extensive documentation.

Users can create accounts using social logins (Google, Facebook) without managing keys.

It will make things smooth for onboarding.

And I really like the improved voting system.

Update: Hive account@detlev, I paid out 2.518 HIVE and 0.286 HBD to reward 5 comments in this discussion thread.

Simple concise breakdown of the fork, well done !PIMP !DUO !UNI

^{You just got DUO from Hive account@enginewitty.}
^{They have 1/1 DUO calls left.}

^{Learn all about DUO here.}

But, but, whenever I vote it always has the same power. It does not change. Mind you my vote at full power is NaN. :D

Can't wait to see what's coming up!

These are such smart people so the conversations are bound to be good. I do like hanging out with gtg and hope to do so again some time.

The light accounts could be big. I'll be interested to hear what they can do.

Cheers!

Hey Hive account@steevc stay tuned for more.

Kannst du das nochmal für Laien übersetzen und was es konkret bedeutet?

Gern im nächsten Talk.

thanks, wanted to see a TLDR; somewhere!

regarding 2) so I assume we more quickly expend voting power then? I think it used to be like 12 votes per day until recharge; would this mean we would have e.g. like 8 votes but all having 100% voting power per day?

It is 10 daily that will let you spend at the rate it is replenishing.
And yes, now you can cast 10 votes one after another and all will be of same strength.

Oh - Only 10 in total a day?

I do way more each day, so what happens with vote 11

Nothing, you will just eventually run out of votes that matter, pretty much same as now. Alternatively you can vote with fraction of your 100% vote, to mimic old behavior.

I like this change! People who are more active in voting can adjust there % bar and increase amount lowering value each vote.

Btw the key change makes total sense! I just have a DM on discord with someone who lost master and has been using lower keys to function for 6 years and even though that’s so stupid! I just think not making the change the big warning & story is a problem when if they knew they could have powered down if they had 13 weeks. Nobody’s , especially not me, arguing they were smart to just think in 2018 “ oh I don’t wanna start over, since these power keys work I won’t bother starting over on new account right way” My earlier comment is just how this fact and change hasn’t been discussed hardly at all and first priority should have been making anything, even a account user being a fool not starting over when yet realized it, still it should have Bern the headline and warning ⛔️ because more accounts then u realize will be locked out.

"someone who lost master and has been using lower keys"

It is my understanding that if they have their Owner Key, they can set a new Master Password seed, and derive four new Keys (Owner, Active, Posting, Memo) from it. But, they must have that Owner Key in the absence of a Master Password.

A good question. But I can't answer that. Maybe Hive account@gtg knows.
