Interesting experiment, it may be somewhat of a proxy measure for activity and attention over the next week.

I threw my little 21 cents onto the pile to help out. Let's see!

yeah its better to distribute the hive. Notice no one needs to burn Bitcoin, theres not enough to go around to need to burn. same with hive, its valuable, and we just need more users, and not burning. burning makes us seem like we are a worthless altcoin with no use case

id ont even think many people realize that this very hive blog is running off a real blockchain, peopel just assume maybe its a regular blog and hive is just some lame points system. make sme think hive has ALWAYS needed more transparency technological transparency, like the equivalent foa clear gameboy case for condensor, some way to show the blockchain code more in the front end etc so you can see under the hood better, (like how dbuzz was showing hases and transactions ina little text update in teh top right hand corner when you made a post)

hive just needs more users, and hive just needs more distribution

instead of burning HOW ABOUT A MASSIVE HIVE AIRDROP to x users? We used to have twitter hive tip bots, maybe we do have one working today, im sure it can all be rebuilt, we had tipit mass twitter tips for eos and telos and wax so im sure we can get something oike that for hive, an airdrop system database and way to match twitter accounts to hive accounts maybe a manual system putting a code in your profile, makinga tweet oran oauth button to authorize your twitter account to link to your hive,m then we can do big hive airdrops to X, and also reddit needs a massive hive airdrop, and some sort of i dunno discord bot that works like @banjo did to create hive accounts right from discord, but a nicer bot like tip.cc which has a third party hive wallet inside discord for tipping and MASSIVE airdrops

so we can ALREADY use https://tip.cc to do massive hive and HBD airdrops (and some hive engine tokens like NEOXAG and others) and so, we could just massively airdrop HIVE to the main tip.cc channel, where youd be able to reach ACTIVE users who dont have double accounts, and geta LOT of new peopel to signup to hive to get more airdrops, like after they signup they could get an upvote or another airdrop etc
but the airdrop BOT is already built

all we need is for you to go to the tip.cc discord, dm the bot and deposit some hive,m i used to do hive/hbd airdrops with it ALL the time in my discords, and it really is the best thing for hive.

Think we can break $1,000?

Pfft, not even in dreams!

Let's do some simple math...

  1. AFAIK, there are no more than ~3.5k active users in Hive.
  2. Of those ~3.5k, at least a quarter are bots and Alt accounts.
  3. Many of them with low HP.
  4. This burning post at the time of writing these lines has already obtained 1158 upvotes for a grand total of $259.87 which includes the upvotes of the most opulent HP users & "curators" on the chain.
  5. So, even if we were to summon to the other rich "curators" out there who haven't voted yet to upvote this burning post, like: @adm, @alpha, @appreciator, @curangel, @darthknight, @pharesim, @ranchorelaxo, @smooth, @theycallmedan and @trafalgar.
  6. That would give us the following figures: 1158 upvotes + 10 = 1168 users who'd have voted. Which then, 3500 - 1168 = 2332 users who have yet to vote with a KE above 2.5
  7. Therefore... No mate! not even in your wildest dreams this post can break $1,000 to burn in your small fireplace.

We could hit it, but I expected roughly the same results ~$300-400.

We could hit it

Yep, probably. But only if Hive = ~$0.65 during this last week or if I had upvoted this post with my opulent Alt and filthy rich sock puppet accounts.

Not a fan of simply burning; hbd.funder is a way more useful route for such votes, but just for the sake of experiment and a little big of fun, here's my vote and my "traditional" fire related playlist ;-)

“Burn”, Burn - Deep Purple
“Safari Song”, From The Fires - Greta Van Fleet
“Chariots of Fire” - Vangelis
“Fire” - The Crazy World of Arthur Brown
“Light My Fire”, The Doors - The Doors
”Fire at Midnight”, Songs from the Woods - Jethro Tull
“Fires of Hell”, Between two Worlds - Uriah Heep
“Wielki Ogień”, Ogień, - Mira Kubasińska & Breakout

I'm temporarily favoring burning over hbd.funder because of the issue of excess HBD build up in the DHF leading to increased inflation. Fixed with the next hard fork.

What will change with the next HF regarding this?

HBD in the DHF won't count toward the money supply when calculating inflation, similar to how it currently doesn't count toward the debt ratio.

See this: https://gitlab.syncad.com/hive/hive/-/issues/741

There was a threat of an uncontrolled inflationary spiral where should the price drop significantly enough, the HBD in the DHF would become a larger portion of overall marketcap raising the inflation, which will effectively drop the price further, which will raise inflation etc... leading to massive printing of HIVE and effectively driving hive price to 0. Before the change (aka pre-hard fork, current situation), the only way to stop such spiral would be to make a proposal and burn a large portion of the DHF, which is capped at 1% per day, so it's not like we can quickly react to such an event, and also it would suck to have to burn funds

woah howd you do that countdown? woah is it just colored background text and white font and some script that edits the post and title every minute? Or do you do it just manually? heh pretty damn clever, make me think it was a new feature, but youre just using existing tools. makes me wonder what else hive condensor front end could actually do. i always wanted to make hive more asci art based.

It's a feature peakd had for a long time, I asked the condensor team to add it to condenser as well a few months ago.

i just love seeing text based colors like that that can use existing stuff. i wish we had more ascii art built into stuff or something

What's different now that it shows 'expired xx hrs ago'? Is it just a visual gimmick, ie. that some event expired, but the post/chain/rewards/burn/etc work as usual? Would you mind explaining briefly, or dropping a link to info about, what exactly this 'countdown' does?

I set a countdown for 24 hours. The post is technically still live for 6 days after but after 24 hours you earn less curation rewards when you vote the post.

Ooh, so that's what it does. Thanks!

reemmber when we had posts that expired or only showed up after certain time if you were a subscriber? or was that eos discussions.app ?

Does hive even have its memo keys still working? Can i even make aprivate message in a mroe easy way than logging in with a special key i never use/ Shouldnt there be liek a BUTTON that lets keychain just send a private messsage? I asked for that and teh keychain creator got so mad he blocked me on twitter lol. centralized much.

I remember that feature and the memo key, and I was soooo sure that I could bet it's been readily available for years either on hive.blog or on peakd.com

..and good thing I didn't, because it's not there :D Or I'm too blind to find it. My my. Encrypting memos, such a nice feature, hive/steem had the memo key, like, always, so irritating to use.

Why did they block you? Did they have any good reasons to cut the memo encryption so it shouldn't be made easier to use?

You know.. encrypting memos with the 4th key is such an old feature.. I remember it was already old back when it was just STEEM.. ..and if you asked me without pointing out the issue, I'd be absolutely sure there's a nice simple UI for that in peakd (but not on hive.blog)..

..but it seems that it's not! :D after you wrote, I checked, and couldn't find it anywhere, I think I checked every nook and corner of peakd's user ui, and whoooa, nothing like that. I'm utterly surprised!

Why do you want HIVE to fail?

Not enough to boost the price sadly :(

Not enough?
Maybe don't pull every single cent out of Hive you earn and start burning some instead if $1000 isn't enough for you x)

So you're downvoting his post now because he said something in here and is selling his average $4 author rewards per post?

His comments isn't technically wrong, there's more hive on exchanges than onchain so very little what we do here will effect the price.

Just the one to troll him :p

Look at his KE. He has earned 6k Hive here, pulling everything out x)

Either way, nothing against your comment, just the downvote on his post felt too much so had to state my opinion.

Yes, you can troll him about it when hive is doing better, downvoting people who barely earn anything and do no harm is just going to alienate them and make them not want to comment in the future.

I see where the mistake is x)
I wanted to troll him by hitting him with a 0.1 hive downvote which is only my vote x)
Forgetting about the entire trail.

I do forget about that one random account that follows my downvotes as well.

I am dumping mine, all of it. And that's because @themarkymark likes to downvote Minnows FOR NO REASON AT ALL. He is destroying the whole HIVE ecosystem. Doesn't think he needs to respond or reverse action. I have been active for 8 years now posting daily, never had any problem. And suddenly a few months ago he started downvoting everything. Doesn't want to say why, does not even want to reply. I didn't change my behavior in all these years. It's disheartening, I believed in HIVE. Not any longer.

fucking crybabies bro they just CAN'T read an opinion lmao

It's lame to go out and almost zero someones unrelated post based on a comment, will be countering that.

You could at least have tagged me in this :c

breaking $1000 is definitely doable.

To break $1000 in value, every user need to burn around 3000 hive.

it is possible base on personal opinion.

How much?

However much it cost to gladly pay back on Tuesday for the hamburger today.

With Hive prices these days, doubtful, but let's do this!

Breaking $1,000? It sounds impossible but its achievable

Burning will be a good option, plus increase and boost in price. Nice experiment, although I'm not much with burning too.

Hello, I voted/burned but when I refresh the page my vote disappears. And I don't see my vote on the general list of voters.

Technically can you explain to me why this happens?
I would be grateful.

I can see you made multiple votes by looking at a block explorer.

Increible sinceramente

Feliz tarde Ciertamente he leído los comentarios y no logro entender de que se trata todo esto de quemar Hive, y estrategias. Lo cierto que no se puede votar la publicación. Si alguien quiere explicar de que se trata esto, con palabras sencillas y ejemplos, sería muy bueno para comprender mas como funciona hive

Can you not see how stupid this post is 😂😂😂😂😂😂

You are burning new tokens not old one's and Hive has a unlimited supply 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Now you are just exposing yourself and everyone else who supports you 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

One more thing can you please explain why you keep downvoting my original content 🤔

Please Explain 🤔

Greetings I do not understand what you mean by burning Hive in a publication, I am interested to know to collaborate.

You have few options when you post on Hive.

  • Keep rewards, this is standard
  • Send all rewards to @null (burn), everyone still receives curation rewards as normal
  • Decline rewards, post makes no rewards, curators make no rewards
  • Send rewards to DHF, this donates them to be used with Hive Proposals
  • Send to a third party

This post is sending all rewards to @null, so the post earns rewards normally, when the post pays out, the blockchain auto sends all the rewards to @null and burns them. This reduces the amount of Hive being created by a small amount.

It's a mega burn!!! !NBH

I don't think so since I haven't made any posts in a while.

Burning Hive to reach $1,000 is an interesting goal! It's great to see the community coming together to support this initiative. Reblogged to help spread the word!

When do we expect to stop burning ?

An interesting test, let's help see how this sells

Do we get listed on Binance if we hit that $1000?

lol

Technically we are just not in US

Can I ask why you keep downvoting my original content @themarkymark Aka @buildawhale @aka gogreenbuddy 🤔

Is it actual content, or AI slop?

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I'm not going to respond to you again

My content is 💯 Original

I'm not Marky, and I just asked a question based on what he tends to downvote. Respond, or don't.

My downvotes are 💯 Original

Why do you keep downvoting my original content @themarkymark Aka @gogreenbuddy Aka @buildawhale 🤔

Please sort out your friend @crimsonclad @steevc @azircon @theycallmedan 🙏🏾

My downvotes are 💯 Original

Why do you keep downvoting my original content what is the issue 🤔

Your downvotes are 💯 abuse of power nothing more nothing less

@crimsonclad @steevc @azircon @theycallmedan please talk to your friend 🙏🏾

It must be blocktrades controling @themarkymark and @buildawhale and @usainvote 🤔

Check out bpcvoter3 they have exposed so much

If you have Instagram send me a message @kgakakillerg we can speak freely in private 🙏🏾

If not blocktrades then who 🤔

Why does blocktrades delegate so much Hive power to Buildawhale and usainvote 🤔

And what about the money from this publication? Will you keep it and spend it for yourself? That's already $387. That's quite a bit of money for a single publication, Mr. Deadpool.

It is all burned automatically by the blockchain.

So I fully support this post. It's not that I don't want you to make money, obviously I do! But for just one person to take everything in such a simple way would be like abuse, right? Thanks for the clarification. I'll vote for you right now.
