Hi friends! I've been sitting on a few drafts for a long time, and I really wanted to make the first post back in a while about my well-past 3 year blockchain anniversary and the wild ride that has been the first three months of Hive, but there's just been too much to do! So, chalk up another big fail for Crim. I intend to get back to that hopefully a little later in the week, but for now...
One thing that has never been a fail is how awesome my Saturday afternoon live stream broadcasts with all of you have been, and this week we had a great idea I'm following up on.
When I started out, I did a lot of really basic explanations and fun and easy breakdowns of stuff you encounter day to day around the blockchain. They've been popular, and despite my not really advertising them, a really cool group of regular listeners and diverse thinkers has come together.
Over the past few years, the topics and questions have really branched out, and we've definitely in a lot of ways moved well beyond the "true newbie" basics. Cool! It's made for a really fun and engaging three years. However, in that time, I've been on-boarding new users (some actually DURING my shows) and they kind of just get thrown right in the deep end when they join in the live streams. To help make up for that, and to make it a bit easier than reading big walls of tutorial text or expecting them to try to keep up with a community who already knows the ropes, I thought I'd host a once monthly Newbie Night. It's really just getting together in a voice chat and being fully available to answer ANY question at all, no matter how new and how "simple" it may seem... we all started in the same place!
I'm going to be hosting a really chill, anyone-can-join conversation in the general voice chat of the PALnet Discord for the newest of new users, for a fun dialogue about some of the questions we think are obvious but that tend to go over a newbie's head.
Let's meet at whatever time is highlighted between the starts up at the top of this post. If you know a super newbie who wants to ask questions or who would learn better though just chatting with other Hivers in a no pressure environment, share an invitation with them! I suspect the gathering won't be huge, and this isn't meant to be some big crazy forum where everyone on chain shows up just to be seen. I'd like to catch some people who learn best by talking through new things up with what the Hive blockchain is, how they can use it, and empower them with a bit of knowledge so they can go forth and thrive. If you want to come, then you can too, of course~ bring a snack and get comfy and let's chat. I promise my next post, whenever it is, will be back to my more regular content creation- just wanted to put the invite out there to all of you. (PS, I'm burning half of the rewards because this is just an information post so don't go wild or anything, just spread the word.)
See you on Newbie Night!
