As if hitting our brand new ATH (All Time High) of $1 $2 $3 $HIVE wasn't exciting enough, in just under a week, the next Hive Power Up Day (aka #HIvePUD) will be here! And thanks to the hard work of @victoriabsb, along with the amazing assistance and support of @eddiespino, @theycallmedan, @blocktrades, and @arcange from @hivebuzz, there's a new, one-time special prize this month - read on to find out more!
And the @hivebuzz countdown timer is now ticking down the days to the December 1st Power Up Day. Be sure to check it out on the HiveBuzz site (under the "Challenges" tab) so you don't miss your chance to earn a badge while you power up and build your Hive account!
As I mentioned in July's announcement post, I've changed things up a bit with these Power Up Day posts. I'm now excluding all my usual Power Up Day info (other than the basics and the prizes) and at some point soon it will be posted as one FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) reference that I will link to from here on out.
For the moment, if you'd like more information about Power Up Day, please check out the Announcement post from July 2021. And speaking of, here are some announcements for this month...
Did I mention these are the Announcements? :)
- The payout from this post (aka the beneficiaries) is split equally between the three winners from November's HivePUD, so @circlebubble, @ninjamike, and @hjrrodriguez will each get 33%.
- The payout for the next post ("Welcome to HivePUD" on the 1st) will go to the top 3 winners of @victoriabsb's Hispanic #HPUD initiative (also 33% each).
- The payout for the Unofficial Winners post on the 3rd or 4th will go to @steevc's project, @tenkminnows.
- The payout for the Official Winners post will go 80% to me, and 20% to my numbers guy @abh12345.
- SPECIAL PRIZE FOR DECEMBER! As I said, thanks to an amazing idea from @victoriabsb, there will be an awesomesauce special prize for December - more details about ORCA MONTH below!
What is HivePUD?
Hive Power Up Day happens on the first of every month. Those who are able to, take this time to power up some Hive, and/or cancel their power downs and pause trading/selling for the 24 hour span of the day.
How to qualify for HivePUD prizes
- Your reputation must be above 39 and below 70.
- Your total Hive Power (before the 1st) must be more than 100 and less than 8000.
- You must power up at least 10 Hive on December 1st.
- You must write a post about your power up on December 1st (your local time) with the tag #HivePUD (International) or #HPUD (Spanish).
To be included in the winners list, you must meet all four requirements above. The order of the list (first place, second place, and so on) will be determined by the biggest PERCENTAGE of Hive powered up, not necessarily the most Hive powered up.
How to get HiveBuzz badges
For details, check their post from last month, Feedback from the November 1st Hive Power Up Day as well as their Power Up Day Helper Badge post but essentially -
- Power up a minimum of 10 HIVE during the UTC time for the first of the month. Convert your local time to UTC or check the countdown timer on the Hive Buzz site (under the "Challenges" tab) to confirm it's during the first UTC time before you power up.
HIVE POWER UP DAY Prize list
Orca Month
Before I get to our usual monthly list of prizes, I figure I should finally talk what this wicked cool ORCA Month prize is all about! 😂 And what better way than to let the person who came up with the idea explain it? So here are some tidbits of the description from @victoriabsb's latest #HPUD For December announcement post -
We are ending the year with a BAM!
The Hive Power Up Initiative wanted to celebrate the end of the year, the ATH of Hive Price and just how awesome is our community with a new special prize!
We want to award the community members who have been constantly growing their HP being part of our initiative from the beginning help them get to the next level that may seem like a little far away now, our amazing sponsors (@Blocktrades and @Theycallmedan) will be awarding each a delegation of 50,000 HP to 2 lucky winners [one from #HPUD, one from #HivePUD] for a whole month! So, they will become Orcas for a Month!
That means that one person from the #HPUD winners list and one from the #HivePUD winners list, who both meet the regular monthly requirements, as well as additional criteria set for this special prize, will each win a 50K delegation for a month!
The additional criteria (again quoting from @victoriabsb's post) includes -
- How much HIVE has been powered up in your account
- How many PUDs in a row have you participate in
- Not having done a power down in the last 5 months
- Curation history
- Engagement history
Both the global and the hispanic prizes pools reserve the right to disqualify participants that are blacklisted by the community, Hive Watchers or have participated in any kind of abuse to the blockchain
And to make it as fair and impartial as possible, @arcange has awesomely agreed to use the same system @hivebuzz uses to decide their delegation prizes. When he has determined the two winners, @theycallmedan will delegate 50K for a month to the #HPUD winner and @blocktrades will delegate 50K for a month to the #HivePUD winner. So each winner will effectively be an Orca for a month! 🤩 🤩
Now for all the other awesome prizes...
