Damn....I'm feeling some love for my "shitpost" here. To be honest I was as surprised as you to see that I had topped this list. Hive account@fermionico you can always tag me or ask me about anything if you don't understand, instead of lashing out here like an overgrown child. I am an honest guy and I'm going to save everyone some time and simply explain what happened here.

I am a big fan of all things technology including crypto. About 2 weeks ago I saw an interesting account on Twitter that rewards Twitter users with cryptocurrencies for retweeting posts.

The Twitter account is called @Hey_wallet and it is a bot that relies on commands given sent from Twitter users. Hey Wallet users are able to generate a Solona-based hot wallet that is then attached to their Twitter handle allowing them to send and receive currencies from Solana's ecosystem. Links to the website and Twitter account are below

Technically I am running a limited giveaway giving away crypto for users to retweet my post for Hive. Hey Wallet simply rewards immediately and seems to have massive interactions quickly if you offer enough in your giveaway. I specifically created my simple "Shitpost" to use the program to promote #Hive

However, I had no idea that it would do this to the rewards portion of this program and I can see how this would have issues for users who don't understand how to use something like this. I certainly like the Hive community and do not want to do anything that would compromise the integrity of POSH.

I freely offer to return my rewards here and I will not use Hey Wallet in the future to promote #HIVE but I do believe this is something you guys should look into. As technology progresses the Hive community will need to adapt to continue to grow.

For example,

What makes my giveaway less valid because it was done through a faster medium?

Should you even be able to use giveaways to promote #HIVE?

This will inevitably produce differences in reactions to tweets. If you can afford to do giveaways you will get more interactions and reach. Giveaways are generally considered marketing costs for companies to generate hype and increased their user base. If the Hive community wishes to grow we should be happy that the community is willing to invest money to promote various projects. The more users we can bring in the more we all win, it is not about fighting for Posh Pennies here.

To be honest, if you guys at #POSH are against people promoting #HIVE via giveaways or bots you are kinda against helping the whole community at the expense of preserving what seems to be an antiquated system here.

I am open to your feedback here. I could easily be missing something but it doesn't really make sense to try and stop someone from participating in a promotional program because they spend money to gain more reach. From a promoter's standpoint its a win, from someone simply trying to preserve a rewards system though....
