This is a value for value post: see the explanation in the footer.


Update: Google has now turned this into a podcast conversation. Astonishing.

New Witness Server

First up is something I haven't had to pay much attention to in a long time but needed some attention. Hive Witness servers are just so reliable! I've brought up a new Witness machine and I just switched the keys right now. The old one is running a little low on disk space and I wanted to updated to the latest version of the chain software. The next block I produce should come from that new machine.

I've climbed up in the rankings quite a bit over the last year or so and I wanted to say that I am very grateful for those who vote for me and I take this responsibility to the community very seriously.

I'm going to look at running a second witness machine on stand by once I've improved the disk situation on the old one.

HiveFest

There's too much to say about HiveFest and I'll try to write a dedicated post about it! I met so many new people and old friends I won't try to name you all. But please jump into the comments here and say hi!

I want to thank @lordbutterfly and @roelandp and all who helped in the organisation of the event and speaking. It was a really spectacular event from start to finish.

Travel was a touch challenging, delays on the way out meant missing a really cheap flight from Rome to Split and having to buy a really expensive one to get there in time for opening drinks, and the flooding in Vienna caused a lengthy delay on the way home, but none of that matters! It was all worth it.

And it gave me one of my favorite photos ever! Romans they go the house!

Romanes Eunt Domus!

v4v.app

I got some time to chat with the guys at @vsc.network in person which is great. We're all working toward a similar goal and they used @v4vapp in their demo. The forthcoming BTC wrapping on their VSC system will be tightly integrated with @v4vapp.

On the shores of the Adriatic


Value for Value

For the last few months while building @v4vapp I was generously supported by the DHF. Going forward I have a much more modest support which covers direct server costs and a little of my time.

If you appreciate the work I do on and around Hive, you can express this directly: upvoting posts on Hive is great. Also consider a direct donation (there's a Tip button on Hive or a Lightning Address) on all my posts.

Really looking forward to what you put together with the VSC boys. Their demo at Hivefest was very cool (I watched the live broadcast). I also followed along with a transaction fo my own, but unfortunately it's not ready for public use.

I jumped into a passing spaceship and made good my escape!

Had to keep a safe distance at lunch though.

Congratulations brother, and this is also a nice work on setting up the new witness machine and moving up the ranks! HiveFest sounds like a blast despite the travel issues you had. I am very glad it was all worth it. I hope to hear more very soon. Weldone brother keep rocking.

I think it's quite disappointing when you miss a cheaper opportunity especially when it comes to a flight. That picture with the soldiers is quite iconic lol, must be one of the best pictures of Hivefest

On Hive a significant issue exists with automatic upvotes consistently rewarding the same individuals day in and day out

We want to address the issue of downvoting. It has caused pain to many people, and we want to make sure it doesn't happen again reply to @jacobtothe

On Hive a significant issue exists with automatic upvotes consistently rewarding the same individuals day in and day out

We hope that those who genuinely care about Hive will reconsider their actions, as continuing down this path could inadvertently harm innocent users who are unaware of these issues

lol the Marky mark keeps dreaming

There's been a notable increase in frustration and concern among many users

Reply 2 @crimsonclad You may consider yourself clever

Reply to @crimsonclad

Consider revising the value plan, as it's not providing significant benefits to HIVE

The Value Plan, as it stands, seems to be a one-sided relationship with the HIVE platform, where the benefits are one-way

Actions indeed speak louder than words, a fact we've all observed individuals may talk a good game, a whole lot of shit, but their actions often expose their genuine nature LOL

We consider it unwise to engage in harmful actions, even if you think you can escape the repercussions

The Hive Police aka Hivewatchers, are the real heroes of Hive LOL, aren't they?

Feast your eyes on Hive's trending page, what a load of trash

LoL it's the Hivewatchers Hive Police, dishing out orders like a bakery LOL! Folks, do what you want with your Hive power, just as you please. And you, Hivewatchers, downvote away, but remember, judgment day's coming

Harry fam We're just here, laughing at the shenanigans on Hive! Sure, our content's getting downvoted, but hey, it's all part of the game LOL

On Hive, there's a user who frequently burns a significant amount of Hive LOL with his own accounts

How To Fool An Entire Population

it's so, so concerning to see Blocktrades delegating 2+ million Hive power to Buildawhale, and Buildawhale is downvoting legitimate content

We began sharing factual information following unwarranted downvotes on Hive it's all in the transactions

Upon examining our posts, you will notice they have been downvoted, and we've been labeled as scammers and spammers, which we find amusing. We consistently share new content

Once again, we ask why is our legit content being downvoted on Hive and what is the reason behind it. Hivewatchers ADM spaminator steemcleaners guiltyparties logic

We have Hive witnesses farming Hive, self-voting, operating comment farms, and self-funding projects with community resources

I'm serious, turn yourself in before you turn postal. Get the help you need. No one should suffer like this.

https://peakd.com/inleo/@themarkymark/re-bpcvoter1-skbzej

Downvoters we've got to ask, what's the joy in downvoting, huh? It just shows how down in the dumps you are! Remember, Themarkymark himself has been downvoted in the past

Funny seeing how much power a Hiver with mental health issues wields! And talk about support, Blocktrades is like his trusty sidekick LOL

Many question the impact of downvoting and the role of certain Top Hivers, including Themarkymark who abuses his power, many express disappointment about the lack of response from those in positions of authority NO HELP.
