The last edition of the Hive Power Up Month challenge is now over. Once again, this challenge has proven how difficult it is to stay committed for a whole month, even with rules as simple as:
- do a power-up of at least 1 HIVE or a 100% Hive Power post every day of the month
- do not powerdown
Some stats about the challenge
Since a few months, we see a renewed interest in participating in Power Up Month. Each month, many wish to take part in the challenge but few are those who hold out until the end. This is what gives all the value to the badge they receive and justifies the delegation of Hive Power that we give them.
For the July edition, with have 52 winners. Congratulations to all of them.
Let's compare the number of winners month by month.
And now, the winners list
Among the 52 participants to have held on without failing, we have 25 users who chose the publication with a 100% HP payout option, and 27 users who preferred the power-up way.
They will soon receive their "Power Up Month" badge:
Congratulations to 
Hive Power delegations coming!
As announced in our announcement post, all the winners of the PUM challenge will receive a 3 weeks Hive Power delegation from us!
The amount of HP delegated will be calculated according to the following criteria:
- How many successful Power Up Months you have achieved throughout the year.
- The total amount you powered up during the PUM.
- How many PUDs in a row have you participated in
- The levels of your power-ups on PUD (ex: you made two "level 3" and three "level 5" power-ups).
- The number of people you helped to power-up and the amount involved.
The higher all the above-mentioned values, the higher the delegation you will receive.
We still need to do some math to figure out what everyone will get but don't worry, we'll report the results soon.
Everyone who participates in Power Up Day today is already registered for this new edition of the Power Up Month!
