Hi everyone and welcome to Novembers Valueplan The Numbers post. Sorry I am late with this but I am busy these days. This post basically collates the funding by Valueplan to Hive users on a monthly basis so there is transparency in the Hive Community about how the platform is using the marketing arm of the Hive blockchain. Over the last few years there has been much said around how we go about marketing on the Hive Blockchain and Valueplan was set up so that funding could be given to different groups to promote Hive. The projects being funded are selected by the project managers. Whether they are good or bad for Hive is a matter of opinion. Strong opinion I have found. Some of these projects are funded by 6 figures sums annually so with this amount of money going out of our ecosystem it is well within the Hive users rights to ask questions around where the funding is going and whether Hive is seeing a positive increase as a result of the projects campaign. And this is the reason for this post. Today we look at Novembers numbers, accounts funded and for what. Please look back at my previous posts that provide a monthly and YTD update from January up to October 2024.

Summary
Miami Art Week
So there was 17 accounts funded ranging from 11,500 funding Miami Art Week and Vibes all the way down to @abdul01 in the Ghana tech summit. Just on the highest payout this month. I have not seen much on the blockchain around Miami Art Week as of yet. I know it was due to be on last week but I have not seen much around it. Was it any good? What did we get out of it? Over October and November Valueplan have spent 32,050 HBD in total on the event. It would be cool to find out more and what we got out of the event.
@qmwallet is number 2 and this is an extension to the community wells. The wallet does not give much away. It has a 25 rep .does not follow anyone and has 0 followers. The Valueplan guys will tell me everything is good here and its only a wallet to transfer funds to a certain project for a number of different reasons but personally I don't like it. It's a blatant lack of transparency and this qmwallet has had 38,744 HBD transferred to it since the start of the year. My question is who runs the project?
Gaming Streaming
It is good to see a new user in at number 3. @mazergaming was given 10,000 HBD in November for a gaming promotion. Now in my opinion I think we should be doing this kind of marketing once you can see the results from pages views etc. I checked out Mazers website and it looks good. A couple of pages don't really work such as the Follow Us on Twitter link and some of their videos. They did have news of their Hive partnership on the news tab which is good. Their videos on Youtube are not great and their last videos on Youtube are over a year ago. There are two videos on Twitch so I am not really sure what the 10,000 HBD is going towards.
The first 2,000 HBD is for 2 x streams. If you can send me on a link to these please so I can check out the viewing figures. Maybe I am blonde and I am looking in the wrong places.
Victors Must Not Be Very Good At Cycling
Poor @victorwallet must be the unluckiest cyclist on the planet. His pedal bike needs fixing again!!!!! Holey moley. I wouldn't mind but the pedal bike is costing Hive 3 times more than the motorbike K13 Racing so far this year!! Sure we may as well take a look at the repair costs of a racer. Victor has been funded 25,000 HBD so far this year by Valueplan and the majority of this is for the pedal bike racing. He also makes the leaflets for the GYM Street Workout so some of this total is for this. The repair costs for his bicycle are hard to collate here as he has the costs thrown in with other costs but you get the picture.

Now I do a bit of cycling myself as I am from the same place as the great Sean Kelly so we were all born with a bike under us. I have taken part in races in the past. Most of the time my bike would come back in one piece and I can say that about 99.9% of my fellow riders. Unless victor crashes at every event I cannot see how there should be a substantial amount of repair costs to the bike even at national or international level. On paper it is looking like Victor is a bit of a disaster on the bike and keeps lamping it off things. He maybe should think about taking up a new hobby. Maybe Valueplan should rethink funding someone who does not damage their bike so much. He's the racing bike version of Eddie the Eagle at skiing here. Christ almighty. You can get a decent racing bike for $2,500. And this would be a serious bike. I know the best ones go all the way up to $15,000 but we are talking top professionals here. Why don't we buy Victor one bike per year to promote Hive and send him on his way. I would be delighted with that myself. Valueplan would be making a substantial saving here. He will be asking for a wind tunnel next!! I think I will send Valueplan a few HBD for a couple of stabilizers for Victor until he learns how to ride properly. 😂
Posh Token
Another new user to Valueplan is Posh Token. It is good to see them getting funded as it is finally a project that I see with my own eyes on the likes of X promoting Hive. They deserve the funding and more in my opinion as they have benefited Hive greatly over the years and tried to get the ball rolling with onboarding. Good to see them get a few pound. They even refunded 82 HBD. Something that is very rare as the expenses always seem to match the funding to the penny!
No Smoke Without Fire
Gym Street Workout are still being funded even after a number of their former members/ staff said the money received is allegedly not being spent on their events. Granted, there is always two sides to every story but we have not heard from their project manager on a number of occasions now. I had my suspicions about this project even before all the furore . In my opinion where there is money to be made , there is always rows and arguments as other people want a piece of the pie and rows about money is common place. But I do think a review should be carried out with this one as they have been funded just under 100,000 HBD this year alone. Aside from all the infighting and bickering, should this money be better spent elsewhere on another project?? They have had a good run of funding now. I think it is time for Hive gravy train to move on here to a project that can prove its metrics. If there is this much animosity and infighting about a project funded on Valueplan then there is too much money being put into it.
So that's it for this month. I will save the YTD until December for the grand reveal so we can get a full view on what was funded in 2024.
