I've published a number of diplomas already on Hive and I'll keep doing so as they offer better accessibility than paper versions. With respect to other electronic version (such as for instance a PDF saved on OneDrive or Google Drive or other such service) the blockchain versions are timestamped and benefit from increased trustworthyness. However, ideally my diploma should have been published by the University.
So here we have technically not a diploma but a "certificate of successful completion" ("attestation de reussite" in French)
The issuer is the Université de Lorraine.
It says: the Director of the Center of European Studies certifies hereby that Adrian-Sorin Cristescu born on December 18, 1970 in Bucarest (Romania) has successfully completed the M1 (first year of a two-year Master's degree) in International and European studies during the 2021 - 2022 academic year with the "Very Good" mention and has obtained 60 european study credits.
In the lower part it says it's been delivered in Nancy (France) on the 5th of July 2022 and it's signed by Yves Petit. It also has my student number (30613015) which can probably be used to verify the veracity of the diploma with the University itself

Among the improvement points for Hive I can think of are:
- a sustainable way of storing pictures. Currently the pictures are the problem of the front-ends: hive.blog stores pictures from posts done via hive.blog, peakd.com manages (and pays for) storage space for the pictures included in the posts done via peakd.com, ecency.com takes care of storing the pictures for the posts done via ecency ... If one of these front-ends ceases to exist, as happened in the past with busy.org, there is a risc the pictures are replaced by broken links
- a sustainable way of storing other types of files, aside from jpeg and png, typically PDF files - my diploma was delivered electronically as a PDF file so I had to do a screenshot
- a better search function. Currently if I use ecency.com and search for "diploma", my other posts do not turn up despite the use of a #diploma tag ... I find that regrettable
I actually transcribed the content of the snapshots of the diplomas because of the 1. above. As you can see in the transaction details, the images are stored courtesy of ecency.com
Anyway, here's to my successful 1st year of Master's and to Hive !
