This Pub will open weekly on the Pubs Community with the purpose of acting as a place to meet, socialize, exchange information, get free stuff, you get the idea for HIVE's sake!
We also have a Live Scratch Paper where you can find all the current up-to-date information about this project.

🥇 ❗THE GATHERING❗
On the last gathering we scoped an attempt to get something moving, and since it takes time for these to get into the brain... for newcomers that didn't yet know about the Pub or simply people returning from vacations, check the previous gathering. 👍
We are interested in feedback on the part about "The Pub Changes!".
The Pub BEE
Simply because it has been quite a while, and to remind people that the Pub is gathering BEE for a couple of upcoming parties. More in the Live Scratch Paper. Thanks to @atexoras.witness that has been sending quite a lot of BEE lately. The picture changed dramatically with the new local HIVE node.
Things should go even quicker, now that the Pub is open again. 🤞 This gathering rewards are not yet re-invested into BEE. They will be converted before the next one.
Comparing last week's (above) stake with after the added liquidity from today (below)!
You may ask, why has the Pub chosen this pair to "store" the BEE... and the answer to it is to help with the SPS Airdrop... for future plans, yet to be unveiled.
For this reason, the Pub has restarted staking all received SPS (generated mostly from the BEE:DEC pair). We are undecided if you all would like the Pub to run a collective witness in the future. This will split rewards and be maintained among users. The idea is still very vague... but up there for commenting and feedback.
If there is enough interest to go ahead, we might do the same strategy as the previous year SPS giveaway, where people participating with SPS (since it can't be delegated yet, not that we know it will be possible even) can allocate a percentage of the node rewards. If something would take effect, then it would have a curation period of at least 30 days (meaning you would only win rewards if you wait 30 days with your SPS at the Pub stake).
This is still in brainstorming mode. And for now, will be a "trust" thing to explore. Not really the best way to promote decentralization... but the aim is to allow more people to participate in a sort of witnessing situation and learn with it. Tasks and responsibilities would need to be shared as well. If during the process, people want to quit, that will be allowed, obviously.

There is lots of potential here and the Pub will encourage streamers to contact the Pub for extra exposure when possible. Let's join efforts and bring the word of HIVE to even more users. Explaining along the way what we can and also helping one another whenever possible. We might not all have possibilities, but all joined up, we can create mega evolutions.
More into this when there is more information about the "claim drop".
Pub Admins DLUX.io Witness (the beginning)
Previously, the Pub has occasionally helped @atexoras.witness with some DLUX although the amount has not been significant (especially when comparing with the amount of BEE returned to the Pub). And because the amount of DLUX held by @atexoras.witness is already enough, @forykw has communicated that he will be suspending the BEE/DLUX cooperation, and therefore we will be starting something new for the Pub users instead.
We need something like between 2000 and 3500 DLUX (at the moment, but might change) to actively participate in the witnessing part, using the Pub account. Otherwise, it will be very random (and likely low on rewards) and also depends on other witnesses.

Because the Pub needs 4 Admins distributed around the planet, each will have its % rewards of the witness with the amount contributed. This will be the starting point of the Pub Admins recruitment.
If you wish to understand a bit more about the rewards, have a look at @dlux-io account posts.
This will be an experimental "Admin recruitment" process with the main purpose being the stimulation of interest by others for either being an Admin of the Pub and/or assuming other responsibilities.
For now, @forykw will not charge any costs for actually running the node (although it must be understood that this will be a best-effort task).
At any time if an "individual" wishes to exit the Admin role, this should be communicated at any active gathering and her/his DLUX will be unstaked (4 weeks) and returned to its owner.
(at the discretion of the remaining Pub Admins, with a quorum, currently only @forykw, this can be withdrawn and funds will be returned to its owners)
Rewards Example
Let's imagine that no one wishes to contribute lots and that the Pub will continue the very rare rewards. So, for example, @forykw currently has 1 DLUX staked into DLUXG... so he will get 100% of the rewards. If there would be 2 DLUXG staked by 2 Admins, then it would be 50% for each of them. And so on... up to a total of 5 Admins.
Process
Send any amount of DLUX to the pub account (@atexoras.pub) via https://www.dlux.io and add in the memo "shared witness experiment". Comment on the active gathering that you wish to onboard as an Admin and current Admins will validate your transaction.
Then, @forykw or other Admins will lock that amount into DLUXG and you will get any equivalent rewards the week after.
These will be updated into the Live Scratch Paper when there are candidates validated as well into the positions advertised on Discord.
Entitlements of Admins
This will be the most important part, where Admins will be able to share the strategy of the Pub and vote with quorum accordingly (for now via Discord private channel) and then announced publicly on the next gathering. The Admins will be granted active key authority.
The Owner will remain @forykw which for now will remain impartial for disputes and ask for other admins' opinions. But in the event of such will have full power to change keys and protect the Pub's security. Hopefully, that will never be needed.
(This is why HIVE has such amazing high-security mechanisms against other chains)
