Yes , our story still continues….
4 years and counting!

We are proud to inform you that it’s been 4 years from the day we started. Many of you know our story and hopefully still appreciate what we do. It’s been written before by us last year. But we have another anniversary.

Let’s tell it again: we @thekittygirl, @xcountytravelers and myself gave birth to one blockchain baby. This month 4 years ago.
Yes you read it right , a project-birth right here on the blockchain!

This month 4 years ago today, on 07-Dec-2018, TheTerminal project was founded by us because we felt the need.
Now 4 years later we still think that and work on it every day.
For you that are younger , and not already 4 years here let me tell you the history and beginning. ( the hiversary blogs in the years behind us as helpful history blog book. ) TheTerminal was the brainchild of miss Ren of @xcountytravelers. She and her husband, Scott, had been welcoming people to the blockchain via their @heyhaveyamet project, leaving greetings and encouraging comments on #introduceyourself posts since October 2018.
Same for me, @brittandjosie , I have been doing that till today almost every day now in the other project that has been running for a long time @heyhaveyamet.
Both with the same value to the blockchain, and because we all were a new redfish without knowledge once.

Back to miss Ren, she realized the need for a place where newbies could ask their questions in an interactive format.
So, Ren began setting up a server on Discord and ran into some problems. She reached out to @thekittygirl and asked for assistance. Kitty gladly shared her knowledge and stepped-in to do the setup work, freeing Ren to regroup and resume following her outlined plans for the project. Ren invited me as the third wheel of the new team, and from there things really began to blossom.

We three work(ed) beautifully together, side-by-side and on a very close level, to bring all the plans to fruition. The Discord was created on 07-Dec-2018, and still today is a safe haven for many asking questions and getting answers. Answers beautifully worded in the A to Q library in the room in our beloved discord. Back then two days later after much setup and testing, invitations were sent out to those interested in watching the project launch. Moderators were screened and chosen, links gathered to helpful posts that explained blockchain-related concepts, and suggestions were offered by those who helped beta-test the server. After a couple more days, TheTerminal 'officially' opened for business!

And that is how it’s been for us 4 years and counting. Discord and blockchain Hive for us go hand in hand.

Over the past three years, we have remained faithful to our goal:
We provide a safe and dedicated Discord server where anyone can ask questions, learn the etiquette and workings of the blockchain, then connect with communities where they can thrive and grow.

As I wrote before all is taken from our history written in a blog.
( the link is below )
Our beloved blockchain is complex and vibrant, with nonstop development, so anyone of course runs into difficulty and can have questions, not just newbies. Many veterans of the blockchain have come to us for a refresher in how a particular aspect of the chain works, or to learn of new dApps and features. Hivers even join just to help out and pay back. If we do not have the answer to a particular question, we make a concerted effort to find the answers, or direct the querent to a source for those answers. No one is ridiculed in our server for asking a sincere question.

Our discord collected links to helpful posts, videos , delegated Hive Power (HP) so that those with little of their own have enough Resource Credits (RC) to grow their accounts, counseled members on being responsible citizens of the blockchain, and compiled several lists of #tags, / #communities / #Discords to help our Terminalers. We have sincerely done everything we could to ensure that everyone who comes through our doors has a chance to succeed on Hive. Again we think this is an extended piece to hive life.

The success of @theterminal, itself, is a product of countless hours of volunteer work by our fabulous and dedicated Staff, past and present, all of whom could never be fairly repaid for what they have done. It is also a 24/7 endeavor, operating continuously. The Staff provides assistance as a remembrance of the help each received when they came on-board the blockchain, and attempting to make the onboarding process easier for those coming behind them.
Besides the Staff, @theterminal and @heyhaveyamet also owes a debt of gratitude to all who have assisted with delegations, currently or in the past! Thank you!
We will have another special blog for you.

The Terminal staff rocks 24/7 from different continents so for all of you:
You are appreciated very much @pravesh0 @stayten @yaziris @wesphilbin @jamerussell @drakernoise , and also all people who help us.

The success of @theterminal is a product of countless hours of volunteer work by our fabulous and dedicated Staff, all of whom could never be fairly repaid for what they have done. It is also a 24/7 endeavor. The Staff does this as a remembrance of the help each received when they came on-board the blockchain, and attempting to make the onboarding process easier for those coming behind them.

Besides the Staff, @theterminal and @heyhaveyamet also owes a debt of gratitude to all who have assisted with delegations, currently or in the past! A list of our current delegators appears below in alphabetical order. Thank you!

Whether one has been on the blockchain for three days or three years, there are always questions! @theterminal, founded in December 2018, is a project that answers questions people have about the workings and etiquette of participating on the Hive blockchain. We answer questions about use of the Discord app, as well. A few users of Hive's 'legacy blockchain' have also sought assistance. Everyone is welcome.

Those who delegate to @theterminal will be awarded a "Terminal Supporter" badge on their blockchain profile, the "Patron" role in our Discord server, and our humble gratitude.

When new users arrive on the Hive blockchain, they have no initial HivePower (HP) unless some is delegated to them. Users with no HP are allotted so few Resource Credits (RC) that only a few posts or comments will have them running out of RC quickly. This is counterproductive to growing an account and establishing a presesnce on the blockchain. @rc-assist exists to help fill that void by delegating a small amount of HivePower to those new Hiveans. The amount will vary slightfly, depending on circumstances, but will range between 20 and 100 HP. Once the delegatee has grown their account enough to be self-sufficient, the delegation will be withdrawn to support other new accounts.

Those who delegate to @rc-assist will be awarded a "Terminal Supporter" badge on their blockchain profile, the "Patron" role in our Discord server, and our humble gratitude.

The sister-project to TheTerminal is @heyhaveyamet (HHYM), founded in October 2018 and still going strong. The goal of HHYM is to look through the #introduceyourself posts of those new to the blockchain and welcome the new arrivals and gather links to their introductory posts in a daily curation post. New accounts are carefully checked for effort, plagiarism, and account-farming before being featured.

Those who delegate to @heyhaveyamet will be awarded a "Terminal Supporter" badge on their blockchain profile, the "Patron" role in our Discord server, and our humble gratitude.
